Last Minute Valentines Ideas

In this busy world, it's easy for things to slip our minds. We are constantly on-the-go and work hours have gotten longer than ever. If you checked the calendar today and caught yourself in shock, you're not alone. Valentines Day crept up on all of us. Don't stress too much though, we have some last minute Valentines Day ideas to save you. 

1. Take-Out Lunch or Dinner. Nothing is easier than ordering take-out. A wide variety of restaurants offer take-out and carry-out options. You can get almost any cuisine delivered from prime rib to pizza. And you don't need to wait until dinner, send your Valentine something delicious at work for lunch. It'll be a pleasant surprise in the middle of the workday. Check out grubhub.com for delivery from hundreds of restaurant options. 

2. Same-day Flower Delivery.  Just like you can get same-day food delivered, you can get same-day delivery on flowers. Several flower companies offer same day delivery and you really can't go wrong with sending someone flowers. It's a classic gesture that will definitely earn you some bonus points.

3. Hit up a Happy Hour. This may not seem like the most romantic date idea, but several bars are stepping up their game on Valentines Day. You can find Valentine's themed drinks and specials. You may even be able to find a bar hosting a Valentine-themed trivia night. 

4. Have a picnic. Now, most of us live in a part of the country where an outdoor picnic is not ideal at this time of year but don't let that stop you. Bring the picnic indoors. It's a fun, easy, and romantic twist on a classic dinner. Lay out a blanket on the living room floor, light a couple candles, and stuff a picnic basket full of tasty treats. 

5. Go For a Drive. Pair a late night drive with a romantic soundtrack. There is nothing better than a drive under the city lights and stars. That drive gets even better with the right tunes. This is a super simple idea and all you need is a car and playlist.
