Top ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day

- MELANIE WHITING

THOSE looking to spoil their significan­t other this Valentine’s Day should look no further than a sentimenta­l or experience-based gift.

That’s according to Gold Coast single Courtney Blenkin, who described her ideal date as a “nice intimate dinner or walk along the beach”.

It’s estimated that loved-up Aussies will spend more than $1bn in the lead up to February 14 to show how much they care about their partner.

Ms Blenkin said a personalis­ed gift or a sentimenta­l piece of jewellery and roses were a sure-fire way to please.

“You want to make sure

your Valentine’s Day is all about your wife, girlfriend or significan­t other,” she said.

There are plenty of ways to

show that special someone you care with a packed calendar of events in February.

On Valentine’s Day, Cali

Beach will transform into a romantic night under the stars with an outdoor cinema.

Choose from two screenings – Pretty Woman, at 6pm, or The Notebook at 8.30pm – and indulge in one of two food and beverage packages. Limited pre-bookings can be made via the Cali Beach website.

If partying is more your thing, Bedroom nightclub will help you “shred your ex” on Valentine’s Day eve. Take along a photo of your ex for free entry.

Or if you really want to spoil that special someone, The Roosevelt Lounge will have a three-course set menu for $99 per person, or $130 per person with a glass of Pol Roger.
