It is getting to be that time of year again. Every year we find ourselves trying to figure what Valentine’s Day gifts will be the best. Trying to top last year’s gift or trying to impress the new love in your life can be tough. Sometimes this can be a hard question to answer since men are generally hard to shop for, let alone for Valentine’s Day.
Below are a few ideas to eliminate the guess work and allow you to have a great Valentine’s Day with your loved one.
Please note: Some of these gift ideas are going to depend on how long you have been a couple and how much you can afford to spend.
One of the most romantic outings on Valentine’s Day is the romantic dinner in a restaurant with great atmosphere. But this is what everyone does, so why not try something a bit different?
*You will have to plan this one a few months ahead due to the cost and availability.*
This year, rather than having your dinner for two be the main event of your Valentines outing, why not go for something big like a plane or helicopter ride?
There are several small plane and helicopter services which offer packages for you and your loved one a chance to fly over the city at night and enjoy the special view. Taking a flight over the city can make a Valentine’s Day you will both remember.

Not too crazy of flying? Why not check out this idea instead?
A great St. Valentine’s Day outing for your man and you to enjoy could be pairing the traditional romantic dinner with a boat ride. If you live near a large body of water, it should be easy to find businesses which offer dinner boat rides.
You and your boyfriend could enjoy a lovely meal while floating on the beautiful sparkling water. You could then take a romantic stroll back to another location after you exit the boat, just to keep the magic of the evening going.
Depending on where you live? If you are looking for a little more of a lighthearted Valentine’s Day outing for you and your boyfriend, then consider going to your local comedy club. Lots of times you may find that his humor is a bit different from yours, so look for a clean comedy show if you can. That way you don’t have to feel like your ears are burning all night from the language or topics, and you can relax and have fund. Check because many of them offer special performances on Valentine’s Day.
Most people live in an area where it is too cold to have a picnic outside on Valentine’s Day. That is no reason why you should have to throw out the idea of having a romantic picnic.
For the romantic picnic Valentine’s Day plan for your boyfriend, you will need to clear a large space in your living room. Set out a picnic cloth and have a basket filled with items such as champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.

Being at home can make for a cozy, romance filled Valentine’s Day. Plus, if you have diet or health issues, creating your lunch / dinner at home can be a better for you. Sometimes it’s easier to fix your meals than it is to depend on someone else doing it. I have to ask questions when I got out to eat, takes all the fun out of it at times.
Want to try something a little different? Look for a nail salon that has good rankings and set up an appointment for a manicure/pedicure day for two.
Great way to relax and enjoy your time together, having done this myself, I have found that men really enjoy getting a pedicure if you can get them to the nail salon to start with. 🙂
You can also try this! Look for a men’s salon which offers specialty treatments to go along with a haircut, such deluxe facial shaves and hot towel facials afterward. Your boyfriend will feel like a million dollars before your big night out, and that can not hurt in making your Valentine’s Day even more special.
These Valentine’s Day ideas for boyfriend or girlfriends can make this romantic day the best possible for the two of you. What you think? I have a more cost friendly gift ideas post I will be doing soon.
