Be Her Prince Charming

For most women - no matter what she says - Valentine’s Day is a big deal, it’s not so much about the gift, it’s really about the recognition. So whatever you have planned for February 14th this year, be sure to make it unforgettable, something that will express your appreciation for all the great things your significant other has brought to your life.

As a brand that understands the power of love and the significance of commemorating those unforgettable moments, PANDORA offers the following ideas to ensure that you turn our charms into yours:

1. Make a path of rose petals
Anticipation is half the fun of a romantic surprise. Start the excitement when she walks in the door by leaving a trail of rose petals leading to the bedroom, where she’ll find her Valentine’s gifts. Don’t be scared to go all out with the heart-shaped box of chocolates, red-and-white teddy bears or a personally chosen item of hand-crafted jewellery from PANDORA. She’ll love the corny romance of it all.

2. Dress up
Pull out all the stops and dress up in your finest. Whether you’ve got reservations at a fancy restaurant or you’re staying home for a candlelit dinner, dressing up will make the occasion feel extra special. Add the right cosy atmosphere and some of her favourite music and you can’t go wrong.

3. Re-enact your first date
The beginning of a relationship is usually the time when the most effort is made to show her your romantic side, so why not turn back the clock and remind her how charming you can be? Think back to your first date, and take her to the same place, eat the same food and do the same things that first sparked your romance. Then give her a special piece of personalised PANDORA jewellery to mark the occasion and create a wonderful new memory.

4. Plan a treasure hunt
Instead of just giving her a card and a gift, why not keep the suspense and romance going throughout the day. Hide gifts, clues and love notes all over the house and let her have fun hunting for them.

5. Get Physical
Get your heart rates up the healthy way by doing something fun together, like taking her out ice skating or mountain biking. The idea is to enjoy a little activity and get those endorphins flowing to leave you both happy and in a loving mood.

6. Go hot air ballooning
If you aren’t the energetic type, a hot air balloon ride will give you a great thrill without having to do the hard work yourself. Take an early morning trip to watch the sunrise and toast each other with a special champagne breakfast afterwards.

7. Go for a couples massage
Massage is a must-do activity for Valentine’s Day. Treat yourselves to a couple’s massage at a spa – the ideal way to really relax and spend quality time with each other.

8. Order in
Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day gift you can give is the gift of uninterrupted time together. You don’t need to leave the house to make Valentine’s Day special. Find a babysitter for the day, order take-aways delivered to your door or have a picnic on the living room floor, turn off your phones, watch old movies and just enjoy each other’s company. You can even spend a late night evening looking at the stars and make a wish together.

9. Pop the question
If you’ve been thinking about asking her to marry you, there’s no time like Valentine’s Day for a romantic proposal. The day is meant for lovers, after all, and getting down on one knee with a ring is one of the best ways you can profess your love for her. Check to see if she already has a wishlist with PANDORA so that you get something in a style you know she will like.

10. Pre-plan your day
Think about your special moments together and the things you want to celebrate. Then visit the PANDORA website where you can choose a bracelet filled with special charms that honours each special moment in your relationship. Choose a heart for the love you share, a suitcase to remember a special trip together, or zodiac signs for each of you. Then let PANDORA email her your card and your gift promise.
