Which songs remind you of specific moments? When do you think of your loved one? Make your Valentine's Day gift even more personal by writing the playlist on a card. Pack some tea from a thermos and a few snacks for the walk, and you've planned a romantic outing.
• A spa day at home : Plan a truly pampering evening for your loved one! Start with a relaxing bath by candlelight and soothing music. Follow it up with a massage or a mini beauty treatment, and finish with cuddling up on the couch while watching a cozy movie. Even better if the pampering products used are included as part of the gift.  A Valentine's Day gift that's good for body and soul!
