Need Some Fresh Ideas for Your Special One?

I think we all get the same ideas when we think about Valentine's Day....roses, candy, maybe go out to dinner? That's sweet, but kinda boring! Check out some different ideas that may surprise your honey this year. (PS-we all love when our valentine PLANS something for us...it shows care and thought!!)

1. Going out to dinner is easy....so why not try eating in? Send the kids with a sitter (or send them to bed early and have a late dinner) and enjoy eating at home! We know a great chef who can fix an amazing meal and deliver it to you so you don't have to deal with mess!

2. Love coupons! Just click here for love coupon and find some that you relate to (and can do!)!

3. What does your love like to do? Check out downtown events, a museum, a play, or a sporting event! There are so many things to do in Jacksonville! Check out our latest newsletter for things to do in Jax on Facebook!

4. How about a Couples Massage.....somewhat cliche but everyone loves a good massage, and it's even better when you are together! Lots of places in Jacksonville to try out for a relaxing experience.

5. Why not get to know your love on a deeper level? Ask him or her these questions to find out some interesting new things about your valentine!

6. Do something you have never done! (I'll leave this one here....) :)

7. Does your love prefer to stay in and watch a movie? Here is a list of love related movies!

8. Make a CD of songs you love together....or create your valentine's favorite songs on a playlist!

9. Hit the beach with a picnic! We are lucky to live close to the beach and need to take advantage of some serene ocean scenery.

10. We have teenagers that stay up later than us..so if you are in that boat too, why not pack up the car with some treats and head to the beach, a park, etc.! Play some music, maybe even pack up dinner or dessert and eat in the car!

11. Candy lover? Skip the generic box of chocolates and take your love to Sweet Petes for a candy picking yummy date!

12. Why not mix up some fun drinks to enjoy? This site lets you put in the liquor that you have or want and gives you options for fun new drinks! Or try here for some valentine themed drinks.

13. Recreate your first date.

14. Wes and I like to sing...not well mind you, but we do...why not try Austin Karaoke? You can get your own room and sing away!!

16. Do you like Bed and Breakfast Inns? Check out the Riverdale Inn!

17. Horse lover? Take your love to Amelia Island and ride horses on the beach!!!

19. Ahhh...take to the waters to sail away....wait, you don't have a boat? No problem...tell your love you chartered a boat! Now and Zen Sailing Charters will take care of the hassle you enjoy the ride!

20. Feeling adventurous? Why not a hot air balloon ride? Profess your love to your valentine high in the sky!

You don't have to spend a lot of money to show your love you care....show them by planning something fun to do and enjoy each other! Happy Valentines Day to you! (Wes, did you get any good ideas?) ;)
