2. Room Service Boy meets girl. Boy takes girl to restaurant. Girl dies of boredom. Fellas, switch it up and stay in. Cook dinner and don’t have your significant other lift a finger. If they’re more hands-on, hire a chef, so you can cook something new together. The affordable ‘chef ’ service, My Secret Chef, can pitch in and help you wow your Valentine.
3. Shooting Stars Tell your boo to take a hike – literally. For those who love the outdoors, go camping. We suggest sleeping under a blanket of stars at Tom Brown Park. This unique date getaway puts a twist to cuddling in bed. Just imagine the two of you lying there surrounded by grassy fields and trees. It is a little rustic but definitely romantic. Pack a nighttime picnic basket – with chocolate strawberries, Moët, and some protection (you know, from the bugs). This could be quite a night!
4. Exclusive Pieces Yeah, it’s cliché but for a good reason. Women. Love. Jewelry. However, picking out a necklace or bracelet can be a challenge, especially on a college student’s budget. We suggest going another route. Vintage jewelry may be the solution. It’s affordable and oneof-a-kind. Simply Chic Lily Jewelry located 208 Waynard Way is a good place to start. Jewelry in the image is not from Simply Chic Lily Jewelry.
1. Snail Mail This may seem old-fashioned, but that’s exactly the point. When was the last time you opened a hand-written love note (or any piece of mail for that matter)? It’s much more personal than a text. According to relationship expert and advice columnist, April Masini, it’s a great way to seduce your partner. You can say a lot more than a standard Hallmark card. Whether it’s mushy and poetic or intimate and provocative, your special signature will make this gift a keepsake.

5. Special Giveaways Make that someone special feel like they’ve hit the numbers. Instead of a scratch-off ticket, borrow a collection of coupons from givecoupons.com. The trick is it only has a one-time usage. So tell them to use it wisely. The coupons can be as innocent or sexual as you want them to be: a free massage anywhere aside from your boo’s back or a free date to a restaurant of their choice. Flip to page 23 for free coupons.
