How to Set Up a Romantic Valentine's Day Adventure

By John Rice and Siddhartha Bhattacharyya

Even a casual look at any gift store tells you Valentine's Day is knocking at the door. Greeting cards with Cherry Red Roses, Teddy Bear, or Heart Symbols emblazoned on them, or, traditional floral bouquets and plush teddy bears have already in the display. These all spread the message that love is in the air. These days you have eCards, which is a digital greeting card with animated graphics, library of Valentine's Day SMS, and much more to greet your sweetheart. You can also take her to dine out. You have, probably, more options than you would ever need. But you do not have the time to spend with your Valentine. You do not have the right mindset to say - "I love you."

How to Become a Better Valentine
Presumably, if you are reading this article, you are among many of them, who are confused to set priorities. And you might have been, presumably, tagged as 'boring' by your sweetheart already. I am not going to help you out to find your Valentine. This is your business. If you do not have anyone to spend some comforting moments, or, dine out, try to socialize more and try to find someone, who would be equally keen to spend the day and, hopefully, the rest of your life with you! But this article is meant for busy executives, who just do not have time.
They are forgetful about their personal business. They can remember thousands of price lists, most complicated engineering or tax calculations, or can even remember Mozart's symphonies like a maestro. But they cannot remember one of the most important dates - the Valentine's Day.

Remember the Date
So, my first suggestion is to ensure that you do not fail to remember the date. There are many options. You can write it at a prominent space in diary, or worktable, set an alarm in your mobile phone, inscribe on the calendar, fix a remember the date magnet preferably on your wardrobe, or, almirah - that is the place, which you will likely to look back often. It would be too old fashioned idea to write the date on a paper-strip and keep it inside your purse. Most likely, your reminder paper will never see daylight later on. Anyway, the best time to set your reminder is right now.

Plan Early, Plan Well & Set up a Romantic Valentine's Day Adventure
It is needless to say that you have to follow a busy schedule. And miserably, this is not a holiday. So, whatever you want to do, schedule your plan early. Book your movie ticket, if you have any plan to watch movies. Avoid standing in queues. Book your table space in your favorite restaurant early. Otherwise, you can order your greeting card, foods, flowers and other supplies online, schedule the delivery date and place to enjoy nice cozy moments at home. Do not forget to create a romantic ambiance. Spread some rose petals here and there. Light up the candles. Scented candles are great. Spray your favorite perfumes on the curtains and elsewhere. Play your favorite romantic music. And surely, you will have the best time of the year together.

Tips to Avoid being Boring
Buy her a gift well in advance. The beauty of online purchase is that you may be allowed to schedule a delivery date. I know a lot of websites selling flowers allow you to do so. So, you can order greeting card or floral bouquet online and schedule the delivery date just a day ahead of the Valentine's Day. You may also like to send them plush toys - teddy bears, cute puppy pictures or, cute kittens. Although I am against any livestock gift but if you stay together, and both of you love keeping pets, you might want to consider a real puppy, bunny, kitten or fish tank. Jewelries and watches also make great gift giving idea. But you should have enough budget provision and you should know their tastes. It is also a good idea to consult with them while choosing any design. Whatever is your idea, do not forget to buy them a gift. And please do not forget to deliver them in time.

Moreover, send them text messages early. If you are going to office, send greeting
messages on your way to office. Your busy schedule might just make it impossible for you to remember to greet them.

Make your plan early to spend the evening with them. And tell them to remind you about your evening plan. Presumably, if you have booked table space in advance, you are likely to get a call from restaurant. And do not forget to communicate them your love message at the end of the day. Your sweetheart will surely appreciate and remember the time you spent together.
