A thoughtful Gift- Date your past

Wedding momentum is already there and you must have exchanged tons of gifts. So a V-day gift has to be bigger and associated with lots of thoughts, planning, and emotions. It’s not just for the romance that you would gift her/him something. It should be significant as now you are the couple who are looking forward. Saying this, you can gift each other a photo album that revisits your first date, first dining out or your first hang-out together. If you are getting married to your boyfriend/girlfriend, you can book the same bar or restaurant where you have first met or first popped those three magical words. This would bring back all those flirty feelings alive before you embark on a new journey. Also, the gift would remind you about falling in love and culminating into the life-time union. It would definitely ease out the burden of big future plans.

Prepare a date night meal together and be a hands-on chef to each other. A yummy cake, Italian pasta or some Indian delight; the delicacies can leave you both wanting for more!
