Hot chocolate bath
Does your partner like baths? Does your partner love chocolate? Then why not marry the two with a sensuous and fun hot chocolate bath? There is a great range of chocolate scented bath products available in stores that are perfect for transforming a classic bubble bath into something a bit more special. Couple it with some bubbly and chocolate-coated strawberries and you’ll create a relaxing, culinary themed spa experience that your partner will love.
Go in a hot air balloon
There’s something particularly romantic about soaring above the clouds and gazing at the scenery below. So why not capitalise on this romantic idea by booking a hot air balloon journey this Valentine’s Day?
Champagne breakfasts are particularly well matched with a ride at sunrise. You could combine the adventure with a weekend away as an excuse to soar over some of the country’s most spectacular scenery, like the Hunter Valley or the beautiful beaches surrounding Port Douglas and Cairns.

Stargazing
If you’re a little strapped for cash, there are still plenty of quirky and romantic gestures that won’t break the bank. Stargazing is a great example of this and the perfect way to make the most of February’s balmy weather. The trick is to get away from the smog of the major cities, so head to areas like Sydney’s Blue Mountains.
Be sure to hire a copy of ‘stargazing for dummies’ from your local library to get a feel for the constellations you’re trying to spot. You could enjoy the experience with a homemade picnic or keep an eye out for an affordable B&B offer on your local deals website.
A French-themed night
Is there a glamorous European destination your loved one has always wanted to visit? While you might not have the time or the funds to organise an exciting Eurotrip to the continent, you can recreate the exciting culture in the comfort of your own home.
For lovers of Paris, start by cooking a traditional French dinner, with baked Camembert, beef bourguignon and a selection of French pastries like the delectable macaroons. Choose a heart-warming French film, like the must-see Amélie and pick out a classic beret for your partner to wear upon arrival.
Something extra special
If you just recently met your partner online at the eHarmony dating website or another dating site, you might want to go all out and sweep your partner off their feet. Try and think of a special event that your partner might enjoy or has never experienced before, whether it’s a live show, or a delicious meal at three-hatted restaurant. Valentine’s Day is the perfect chance to try something completely new on a glamorous and elegant night out. The opera is another great choice, with some of the world’s most iconic loves stories and tragedies performed through song.
Whether you met as Christian singles on a dating site or you're childhood sweethearts, Valentine's Day is an important day to celebrate your love for one another - make it special.
