Creative ways to spend love day
For whatever reasons, you and your honey are tired of going out for a romantic dinner on Valentine’s Day. Suddenly, it’s become too hum-drum; too done to death. After all, you’re going to the same restaurants/clubs every year.
Want to shake things up a bit? Put on your thinking cap and let your imagination run wild. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Spend the day in bed
Let your bed play the staring role in your grand Love Plan. After all, the two of you have always talked about how much fun it would be to spend the whole day together, under the sheets.
Start by surprising him (or her) with a scrumptious breakfast in bed. Cook something yum, yet nutritious – it will help keep your energy up for later. Present it with style – include a bunch of sweet-smelling flowers and even a love note on the breakfast tray; wake him/her up with a kiss!
Other bedtime activities may include: solving the daily crossword, you could even make one up based on your marriage/courtship; play scrabble, make it a rule to spell out only love-inspired words; watch movies together, Pretty Woman, Love Actually and Notting Hill are hot favourites according to one survey- Top V-day movies.
Make an aphrodisiac-laced dinner
Cook dinner together. Of course the bonding thing will happen, but making sure your food is spiced up with enough sex-boosting foods, will make sure you last long into the night (it’ll definitely break your recent dry spell!)
Find recipes that include a variety of libido-boosting ingredients, after all, the more the merrier! Cook shrimp gassi- the iodine-rich shrimp activates the thyroid gland, which is vital for energy; liberally sprinkle tomato, onions or olives on your pizza – tomatoes also known as ‘love apples’ are sexual stimulants, while black and green olives boost women and men’s sex drives respectively.
For desert, make a banana split and top it off with some chocolate sauce; the bromelain enzyme found in bananas boosts the male libido and chocolate contains phenylethylamine and serotonin which activate the pleasure areas in the brain!
If your tastes run to more Indian fare, cook some gajar ka halwa, the vitamin and mineral-rich carrot is a great aphrodisiac!

Dance by candle light
Stock up on scented candles, vanilla and lavender are particularly stimulating; download all your favourite love songs - 10 mood songs for sex. Place the candles around your bedroom – or the whole house, you lucky, lucky people – to create romantic light and shadows.
Then slip into your love’s arms and dance the night away, just like your favourite Disney princess did with her Prince Charming!
High flying love
Got extra cash in the bank? Then there’s so much you can do to shower your love on your significant other.
Stick your hands into your deep pockets and spring for a helicopter ride over the city. Indian charter companies like MAB Aviation and Airnetz offer Valentine’s Day or city tour packages. A 30-minute ride could make you poorer by anywhere between Rs15,000 to Rs45,000. But it’s enough to pop a bottle of bubbly, munch on some finger foods (ah, the possibilities that offers) and maybe pop The Question?
