Last minute Valentine Date ideas
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means that lovers everywhere will be on the lookout for unique and sexy date ideas. You still haven't organised a date? There’s a lot of pressure to make this a special day, romantic, original and memorable. By this time, the best tables in town is already gone. Fear not, with a bit of creativity and help from the Red Hot team, you can plan an unforgettable V-Day. Here are some ideas to help you:
• BREAKFAST IN BED
Keep it simple... Like croissant & other pastries and coffee or tea, juice or exotic fresh fruit with whipped cream. Add champagne if you prefer... now sneak back to bed and enjoy breakfast together.
• ROMANTIC MEAL AND MOVIES
Cook an aphrodisiac dinner at home and get her in the mood or equally look up a good takeaway restaurant. Start with a dozen natural oysters with champagne. For mains, try your hand for something different like Coq au Vin, or Rib-eye steak with chilli butter and homemade chips...
Don’t rush dessert and have more champers. Absolutely don’t rush into cleaning, nothing worse than scrubbing dishes to kill the romance.
During or after the meal, a nice romantic movie might be a good idea to set the mood. Here are some suggestions: The Notebook, Midnight in Paris, Crazy Stupid Love, Notting Hill, Ghost, Love Actually...
• REV-UP YOUR BEDROOM
Here are some very important tips for how to decorate your bedroom on Valentine’s Day and treat your partner with serendipity. Things to consider are; Soft lighting have an inhibiting effect; scented candles for a romantic feel; new bedding especially silk and satin are a sexy choice, they create an environment of romance; and maybe create a playlist with sexy and explicit sensual music it will help set up the right mood.

• GO FOR A COUPLES MESSAGE
This is a great simple way to relax together and forget about all your worries and just think of each other. Afterwards drop down to your favourite bar or your local favourite restaurant, simple way to spend your V-Day without much planning.
• CLASSIC PICNIC AT THE PARK/BEACH
For something different than the usual savoury picnic-basket, have an assortment of chocolate desserts, strawberries and lots of sparkling wine or Champagne stay as long as you wish. Maybe play out your ‘sex in the public’ fantasy of course play it by ear and just let things unfold naturally. However way it goes you can stay up and watch the sunset together and realise that you’ve spend the whole night together.
• V-DAY LOVE-HUNT
Want to be really creative and mysterious try this. With your iPhone send her out on a V-Day hunt, text her instructions where she needs to go and have little surprises along the way. First send her a “Happy Valentine’s” message and along with that send her instructions where you like her to go next. Maybe pamper her with a pre-booked manicure or pedicure to get ready for your big date night. Next close to the end of the day, post an e-card greeting on her Facebook page for her and her friends to “like.” Finally, send her a digital invitation with the exact location for your Valentine’s date; it could be as simple as your place or your favourite bar.
