BE MY VALENTINE
A gift of love that you’ll love to give
True romantics can probably ignore this story, because no doubt you’ve already booked your string quartet, 50-rose bouquet and sky writing in preparation for Valentine’s Day.
But for the rest of us (without a clue of what to do), February 14 is charging ever closer, so here are a few Cupid-inspired gift ideas to impress the love of your life:
IF YOU’RE A ROMANTIC
◆ Recreate your honeymoon or first date. Return to that special place and let all those wonderful memories come flooding back from when you first became an item.
◆ Break out the popcorn, crank over the DVD player or Netflix and get those rom coms happening. Undoubtedly you have a favourite (and, if you don’t, now’s the perfect time to find one).
◆ Learn a new language together. Better yet, plan an exotic trip away where you can actually use your newly acquired linguistics.
IF YOU’RE PRACTICAL
◆ Foot spa/massager – After a hard day at work, there’s nothing more relaxing than a soothing foot massage. Go on, spoil those tootsies.
◆ Waterproof shower radio – You sing in there anyway…why not have some proper music to go with the performance.
◆ Suitcase – Yes, on its own we admit it’s a little ho-hum, but having a strong and sturdy travel companion for your next travel adventure is essential.
◆ Touch screen gloves – This is a great accessory for the colder months. It allows you to still use your ipad or send text messages on your phone without the hassle of taking off your gloves. Genius.
◆ Wireless headphones – Perfect for the bedroom or even the loungeroom, as they let you watch TV without disturbing your partner if they’re sleeping or reading.
