5 Valentines Day Tips For Guys 

Valentine's day is fast approaching. Are you going to be one of those guys that waits till the morning of to find a random, thoughtless gift, or someone that takes that simple step of planning ahead to truly impress their partner? We hope its the latter.

It only takes a little bit of thinking ahead to really wow your partner. Try some of these 5 Valentines day tips to give yourself an edge and show your partner that your worth it. 

1. Get Some Fresh Air Together

Pack a lunch and a bottle of wine and hit the bush for some fresh air together. There is nothing like a solo trek out into the wilderness to find some romance. Try going to the Noosa Heads Laguna Lookout for some incredible views and romantic solitude. For you New South Wales patrons try taking a stroll along the Federation Cliff Walk north of Bondi. 

Don’t forget to bring the wine, and pack a homemade lunch for a thoughtful final touch. 

2. Reenact your first date 

There are few things more romantic for a couple than to stage a reenactment of your first date with your partner. It’s a great way to show some nostalgic love to your significant other, and is great to spark some of that past excitement you both went through in the early days of your relationship. 

Make sure you look your best with a fresh haircut and shave at The Emporium Barber 

3. Use Rose Petals As A Final Touch 

It may be a little bit cliché, but rose petals are a great touch to any romantic gesture. The scent given off by rose petals contain a chemical that has been shown to spark the sexual interests of the people affected, and the deep red colour is psychologically wired to get you in the mood. 

You can get rose petals in bulk from florists for fairly cheap, and it's easy to spread them out in your home leading up to the bedroom. Your partner will surely be impressed after a night on the town coming home to a romantic trail of roses. 

4. Rent A Hotel Room 

Staying in a hotel is a great way to provoke some edgy thoughts. The new environment and lack of responsibility helps you let loose and enjoy your time together. None of your normal distractions are present, allowing you and your partner to give each other full attention. 

Getting a hotel room doesn’t need to mean travelling far away. Visit your local beach or neighbouring town, or simply order a room in the city and allow for a night on the town. 

You’ll be surprised what a hotel room can do for a romantic night out, even with couples who live together. 

5. Think Outside The Box 

Thinking outside the box means finding a gift, big or small, that goes further than that standard, thoughtless box of chocolates.

Chocolate is that gift you give people when you don’t know what else to get them, it's a good gesture but falls fairly short in the romantic gesture department. Give your partner a gift that shows you know who they are. Pay attention to his or her hobbies, interests, or mentions. 

Try looking for something you can engrave a nice message in, or a new book by their favourite author. Something they won’t expect but shows that you care about who they are and what sort of things they are interested in. if that means chocolate then so be it but be sure to at least put some thought into it first.
