You
can really do it up right by bringing an old-fashioned box lunch or picnic
basket for a local restaurant or caterer and buying flowers from a street side
vendor.
Bring
a bottle of wine for the journey and don’t reveal the special surprise until
they are on board or as close to the craft as possible.
Draw
a bath with lovely scented oils and candles in the bathroom, wash their back
gently, play soft music, serve a glass of wine or hot mulled cider. After
the bath, serve a home cooked or take out meal as you choose, complete with
candles on the table and special music in the background. Push
the furniture back against the walls and create your own dance floor, perhaps
even decorating the living room like a romantic ‘dance club’. Dance
the night away and see where the mood takes you.
Then
arrive with flowers, music playing on a portable CD and an outstretched hand to
whisk your partner away from what they expected to be a hard evening of
work. Go
to a little, out of the way restaurant – if you can find a new one that
everyone thinks is great, so much the better.
