Plan ahead – Don’t hurry. Give yourself enough time to pull off the best surprise ever.

Make lists – List down everything.

Find their most favourite things – Line up a night that includes some of their favourite things  

Have a contingency plan – Make many back-up plans.

So now that we have given you the tips on how to plan for the day, here are a few foolproof ideas to ace this Valentine’s Day

The way to a man or woman’s heart is through their stomach, if your chef skills are not on point then plan a food trail to die for. Alternatively, if you are Master Chef in their eyes, cook up a four-course meal with their favourite cuisine. Plan a surprise outdoors with a trek or camp outdoors at a scenic location or look up for concerts in the city on the day. Whatever the plan is, no Valentine’s day is complete without something sweet. I know that’s how I’d like my perfect date to end, just me and my beau chilling at one of our favourite haunts.
