Sweet Love
Do Something Romantic on Valentines Day
You may be surprised to learn that Valentines Day has its historic origins way back in Roman times. But it wasn’t until the late 15th century that the exchange of Valentines love notes became common practice.
Today Valentines Day has become an overly commercialised affair in which we are pressurised through advertising to buy cards, chocolates and flowers. We’re told that we need to take our beloved for expensive meals or even romantic weekends away in Paris.
But if you are anything like me you’ll have pretty much forgotten Valentines day, you’ve not purchased a Valentines card and you’re likely to get the cold shoulder treatment from your partner for your forgetfulness. So what can you do to make your partner happy on Valentines Day?
One very easy win is to cook your partner’s favourite meal. This becomes a particularly special event if you don’t normally cook. Pick up a few bottles of her (or his) favourite wine, or maybe a little champagne, take the phone off the hook and tell them that you have planned a romantic evening at home for two. If you can lay your hands on a nice pair of crystal champagne flutes all the better.
If cooking a special meal isn’t going to put you in your partners good books what about a romantic cocktail evening at home? Treat your partner to a couple of their favourite cocktails and maybe follow this up with a romantic shared bath and early night.
One of my friends makes his wife happy on Valentines Day by completing one of the many household DIY chores that his wife has been nagging him to do. This year he is planning to finish building some bookshelves that his wife has been waiting for since last August.
If you still have time to get to the shops why not look for something a little more romantic that really conveys how much you love your partner. Crystal glass is always a good bet. There are so many beautiful and delightfully decorative yet practical glassware items to choose from. I’ve already mentioned champagne glasses, but what about a pair of nice James Bond style cocktail glasses for your romantic cocktail evening? Alternatively you might choose some beautiful lead crystal wine glasses, or a decorative vase for those Valentines flowers.
Whatever you do on Valentines Day the most important thing is the message that you give to your partner. Whether you do it with gifts, cards, romantic weekends away or meals at home, what you really need to do is make sure that your special person knows exactly how much you love them.
