Simple Sweet Valentine's - 7 Tips for a Special Day

 
Valentine's Day is approaching fast and in less than a week we our world will be innundated with pink, red, edible, big, small, strong, and delicate hearts.
 
Spend part of your Valentine's Day at I Bar to enjoy the Couple's Special:
I Bar Emeryville, Menlo Park, and Walnut Creek have a Valentines Day Couple's Special: Visit any of these participating locations with your loved one and your date will recieve complimentary services of equal or lesser value.*

No matter who you are celebrating Valentine's Day with, here are some great ideas for keeping it romantic, casual, and on a budget:
  • Avoid equating love with consumption - although chocolate makes you feel in love, its your actions and spending time together that truly make Valentine's day a celebration
  • Minimize rather than do without - dont give your date a dozen roses, give one...held in your teeth...pretending to be a Spanish dancer
  • DIY or Make your own - draw on your own skills to give a gift; not everyone works for hallmark so you should not feel the need to make a card. Your date will love something from the kitchen if you love to cook, something from the garden if you love to garden, a voucher for massages if you love giving making your love feel special
  • Expensive does not mean Heartfelt - something small and simple to remind your loved one of the great times you've shared is a great way to get those heart strings fluttering on a budget. A keychain of the eiffle tower that reminds you two of studying abroad in Paris or a mouse brooch to show that you will always remember the first time you saw her smile on video chat
  • Give the time - time is the ultimate romantic gesture; banish the bill paying, work, and chores and spend the day listening to your date's dreams for the future and reveling about how those great times in Tahoe will become a bi-annual trip...experience the past, present, and future together
  • Stargaze - Possibly the best way to picnic but be sure to bring your warm clothes, a thermos of hot drinks and a full tank of gas. The best places to stargaze are on the outskirts of town and at high elevations
  • Be spontaneous - Suprise your date with some new dance moves, recite a poem after dinner, stop everything to see sunset
If you really need to buy anything--check her pinterest page, it will show you exactly what she wants and it will how her that you are interested in her (p)interests.
