My idea of a romantic date?
one where my husband and I are both attending, and my kids aren’t climbing over me, pulling my hair.

I would love to pick up my fiance from home and blindfold him then drive somewhere we hadnt been before , maybe a really lovely park or beach,

lead him to a table and chairs area and then unfold a picnic basket of homemade/handmade treats of his favourite foods , a nice bottle of something cold to drink ,
then take his blindfold off so that he could see the view, and the food. Using only our fingers feed each other , enjoying the place and each other and just spending quality time with each other

With a small budget in mind you can do wonders.

Way before Valentines day, head out and buy the perfect card that expresses everything you feel, when filling it out include a sweet and simple poem that you’ve made up (eg – Roses are red, Violets are blue, Everytime you’re around, I fall back in Love with You.) I like rhyming ones and find a word to rhyme with their name for a personal touch.(eg for Linda last two lines could read – your eyes are like sun on water shimmer, I love u more each day Linda).
Then –
Go online (or find a book in store/Library) on Origami, Use pink and red paper and make a bunch or Origami Roses/Flowers for your special person.
plus –
using flowers from your garden (or ask 1st – a neighbours/friends/family) make a nice bunch of flowers, use some more of the flowers and pick all their petals off to spell out “I Love You” – take a photo of that
and on valentines day include the photo in the card
or just txt-pic it to them or e-mail it
add to that –
buy a block of dairymilk chocolate and buy a choc-mould of hearts and make your own chocolates, using a small box decorate it with some of the pink/red paper left over from the Origami – make your Own Box Of Choc’s, scatter some left over petals inside it as well (to tie everything together)
….On Valentines morning
give them your card – with a message inside to go into the kitchen/lounge
where everything else is waiting for them
or
just simply hand-deliver the Paper-flowers and box-choc’s to their work place

A nice sleep in, not having to get up for anything and then a slow morning with a trip on the passenger ferry to romantic Russell (my boyfriend and I’s special place) for a picnic on the beach and a nice wander around the town, just enjoying each other’s company and spending the day together. Later on, snuggle up and watch a movie together and play a game or something fun that makes you laugh.

The most romantic date would be whale watching on a raft on a moonlight night drinking hot chocolate and eating marshmallows

I was asked me to hide an engagement ring in chocolate to be served as desert at a restaurant dinner where he intended to propose. I came up with this idea: I hulled out a strawberry, put the ring in and replaced top of strawberry, sealed it with chocolate then dipped it in chocolate. I made 1 dozen of them with different piped chocolate patterns and the one with the ring in I piped a heart on top in contrasting chocolate colour so he knew which one had the ring in.
