Okay guys, i have a really cute idea for V-Day but Im in SERIOUS need of your help. please?
So this Valentine’s Day i wanted to do somethine really cute for my boyfriend. something that he wont forget. Ive made him a card myself and Im making him a mix CD of ALL the songs that we’ve ever agreed on loving and the songs that remind us of each other, including our very first original “song.” But I wanted to do something more. I went to the craft store and bought a vintage looking key. Im gonna give it to him signifying it’s “the key to my heart.” But i was also thinking of making him go on a scavenger hunt around the school to figure out something. Where, he gets his first note from me and then goes throughout the day figuring out and getting notes from his friends, people i chose of course. But i have no idea what all of these notes should lead up to. It’s a good idea, i think, but im just kind of stuck. If you have ANY ideas on what the hunt should lead up to…. PLEASE HELP.
here are some ideas…
It’s Valentine’s Day and could the mood get more romantic? It is the time for togetherness, the time to cherish the company of the person who makes your life more special and it is the time to love and be loved. So go ahead and do everything you can to make it a special and memorable Valentine’s Day. In case you are a little out of ideas, check out this list of romantic ideas for your Valentine’s Day. Club these up with your own romantic ideas and have an unforgettable Valentine’s Day. So here come some Valentine’s Day romantic ideas for you and your sweetheart to take up:
Everyone remembers their first date, right? So recreate that first date you had with your partner on Valentine’s Day and see the sparks fly. Just do it all over again—from what you wore, where you went, what you talked about, etc. This will literally be a romantic walk down memory lane and the thrill of reliving a new romance will also be there. So why not?
Write a self-created note to your beloved on Valentine’s Day. And if you are a woman, wear dark lipstick and put kiss-prints all over it. If you are a man, spray some of your daily body cologne on it. This will not only make your beloved feel pampered, but it will also add a tremendous boost to all the romance in the air on February 14.
Here’s another of the fun romantic ideas for Valentine’s Day that you can try out this year. Keep a tab on all the places your partner generally visits in a day. Leave a love note in each such place so that your sweetheart discovers a note everywhere he/ she lays hand on. For instance, leave a note in the fridge, under the plate, in the purse or wallet, in between the dollar bills and so on. This next Valentine’s Day romantic idea is a little time-taking, but a winner for sure. Make a makeshift restaurant on your terrace and send a cute invite to your partner. Cook or get all the favorite dishes of your beloved’s choice and have a feast to remember. When the meal is over, get a bill and write on it: “salad price: one hug, pasta price: two kisses, desserts price: five kisses” to get your love beaming in all the innovation.
Now if you are a true romantic, then this idea is just the thing for you. Leave a trail of heart-shaped candies wrapped in red from the door to the bed of your partner. Then write a note like “My heart is where you are, my dear” and leave it on the bed. Make sure not to be there in the house when he/ she steps in.
Now if you’re looking for some simple and sweet romantic ideas for Valentine’s Day, check this out. On Valentine’s Day, call your partner at work several times and tell him/ her how great he/ she looks and how lucky you are to be with him/ her. A compliment is as romantic as any other physical gesture. And it’s all that you beloved craves for each moment, more so on Valentine’s Day.
Or you may also organize a day-out on Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart. Blindfold him/ her and drive to a place where you have already set up a blanket, candies, flowers and food of his/ her choice. Gifted a day like this, your valentine will gladly admit that you are the greatest romantic in the world.
Here’s a fun idea to pep up the romance on Valentine’s Day—buy a lottery ticket and attach a note on it—“I hit a jackpot when I met you”. Hide it with the other Valentine’s gifts and give it to your partner as you wish a ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ or ‘be my Valentine’ or ‘will you marry me’. Another of the irresistibly romantic ideas for your Valentine’s Day—On February 14, you can replace the light bulbs in your bedroom with candles. Candles are a Valentine’s Day favorite for their warm snug glow and romantic effusion, so they might just help you get into a romantic mood. And if you are alone on Valentine’s Day, you needn’t worry because here’s a fun idea for you too. Decorate your house with flowers, take along bubble bath, have some delicious food and watch your favorite movie. The quality time you spend with yourself will be the perfect Valentine’s Day treat for you, and why not !
So try out these Valentine’s Day romantic ideas and have a memorable time with your valentine. Remember to pack up your work early on February 14 and head straight home or wherever your beloved is to enjoy all the romance this Valentine’s Day ! And here are some funnily helpful tips for you to bear in mind as you date full throttle on Valentine’s Day:
Useful Tips For Your Valentine’s Day Date Make sure that you don’t give the same Valentine’s Day card as last year. Don’t leave your date alone with your folks. Don’t blow your nose. Do not give her an engagement ring you got for someone else. Don’t get your partner a gift he/ she may be allergic to.

Valentine’s Day Dates
Decorate your Valentine’s dorm room, office, or bedroom with a barrage of paper hearts, balloons, and crepe paper streamers.
Leave a card and a heart shaped picture frame with your favorite picture of the two of you surrounded by rose pedals for your Valentine to discover.
Buy a box of chocolates for your Valentine but remove one or two confections. In its place, leave some heart earrings or a locket to be discovered. Be sure to carefully repackage the box to avoid the appearance of tampering.
Make a tape cassette recording of a special Valentine’s message that you were inspired to write and sneak it in your honey’s cassette player. Leave a note with instructions to press the cassette’s play button. At the end of your recorded message, include recordings of love songs that have special meaning and that aim to set a romantic mood.
Write your sweetheart a love note on a sheet of pink or red construction paper. Intermittently throughout your letter, glue down candy hearts that say, “Be Mine”, “I’m Yours”, “True Love”, etc. in places where you would otherwise write them in. Leave the card in a special place, accompanied by a vase full of flowers, for your date to discover. Your Valentine will be captivated by your creativity and charm.
Fill up the house with red heart-shaped balloons that you bought discount from a wholesale party store. Consider doing the same with flowers from a wholesale outlet.
Place handmade hearts with loving messages on them and leave them in many places for your Valentine to discover, such as in the car, briefcase, purse, and mailbox.
More Romantic Date Ideas
Looking to add a little romance to your new relationship? Or perhaps you’ve been in a long-term relationship and feel it’s time to rekindle the sentimental and amorous moments from the early stages of your courtship. Consider one or more of the following creative dates to get the romantic juices flowing.
Sentimental Flashback Date
Step back in time to relive the advent of your relationship with the Sentimental Flashback Date. Recapture every moment of your first date. Go to the same restaurant, wear the same clothes (or similar outfits), and visit the same fun places. Play songs from that era that’ll elicit warm thoughts and memories from yesteryear.
Message in the Bottle Date
Take a romantic stroll along the beach with your special someone. Stealthily reach into your backpack and remove a vintage bottle containing a poem you’ve written on a piece of parchment, which you’ve ruffled, stained, and singed the edges to give it a look of antiquity. While your date is distracted by some sea gulls, drop the bottle at the water’s edge. Keeping one eye on your date and one eye on the bottle, wait patiently until your date discovers the bottle that has apparently washed up on shore. After reading the note, your date will be astonished to learn who the author of the note really is!
Poetic Date
You don’t have to be Emily Dickenson or Robert Frost to give this date poetic justice. If you can say, “Roses are red, violets are blue”, then troubadour or not, this date is for you!
Take your date to a creative location beaming with inspiration (on a hill beneath a shady tree overlooking a meadow, near a cliff with a spectacular view of the valley below and write a poem to each other. Express you feelings with a romantic verse or a funny limerick. Have them calligraphied and mounted into frames so that each of you can have a special keepsake from your poetic date together.
Romancing The Snow Date
Regardless of the season, every woman loves to be romanced! In the winter season, consider the Romancing the Snow Date. Take a day trip to the local mountains for a romantic date at a ski resort area nestled amid the pristine snow-capped mountains.
Experience the charm of main street villages that provide casual, friendly, and down-to-earth hospitality. There’s always a lot of “off the slope” action awaiting you. Boutiques, galleries, bistros, coffee houses, and restaurants are great places to visit.
Fireside Date
A warm, crackling fire illuminating the living room, a CD carousel set with hours of romantic background music, a platter of freshly prepared hor d’oeuvres, and a kettle of hot brewed apple cider is all you need to put this date into action.
Enjoy a splendid time of scintillating conversation. Read a favorite short story to each other. Be entertained with a friendly game of backgammon or chess. Enjoy many laughs combing through old school annuals and photo albums.
Just Dessert Date
One of the most romantic images by far is two people out on a date, sitting across a candlelit table from each, lost in great conversation at a restaurant known for its romantic charm and ambiance. As reputable as this restaurant may be for its exquisite food and fancy prices, neither of those factors pose a barrier for the smart dater on a budget.
