Valentines day - Is Romance dead?

Ahh.. it's that time of the year again when cupid comes out to play. Because of technology and social media, I personally feel romance has definitely faded. The mystery of 'am I going to see him, Is he going to call or come online to chat?' has disappeared as it is now normal to be online ALL the time.

Online dating is definitely different to meet and greets, however I know so many couples who have gotten hitched from meeting their knight in shining armour through the social media apps!

The most romantic day of the year (also known as February 14 aka Valentines day) is fast approaching and you want to create the most romantic gesture - without breaking the bank with those expensive bouquet of roses, what do you do! 

Here are 5 amazing ideas, maybe one will sweep them off your feet... we'll let you take the credit for it!

1. Picnic

Picture this... soft rug under a shady tree, basket of delicious food and flowing wine, with the sound of waves crashing the shore nearby and your favourite person right next to you!

2. Couples edition Adventure Book

It’s date night again! Are you really about to reach for the remote to turn on that same old re-run? We love this couples edition book where you can get to date each other all over again. How it works is you get to scratch off each adventure and you and your love will have to complete it, take a photo  then stick it on the page! Here is the link to purchase this amazing idea!

3. Plan a shopping date and night in

Quickly becoming a large social media challenge, it comprises of a trip to the shops ( we like Kmart) where each person will go off and buy their partner a:

• Snack they love
• Drink they love
• Comfort/Cuddly item

Then pick a movie to watch. Then show each other what you got for one another and watch both movies!

4. Book a staycation in your city

Ok we know this one doesn't come cheap but when have you ever vacationed in your own city? Most likely never! Book a romantic staycation getaway. Here are some hotels we love in Sydney!
