Chocolate making, photoshoots and spa days - we've got everything you need to make this Valentine's day the most romantic ever!

The unattached might call it Singles Awareness Day (the name some drole persons in the US came up with!), but most of us associate the 14th February with St Valentine’s Day.

In the 1900s it was all about penning heart-wrenchingly romantic love poems on beautifully hand crafted Valentine’s cards…These days ladies are lucky if they get flowers from the petrol station down the road, so isn’t it time we started thinking a little more romantically to remind our loved ones just how much we care on Valentine’s Day?

We can even give you a helping hand with some suggestions we just know will get you in the good books:

A sure fire winner for any lady is a spa day and we’ve got loads of them at spa venues throughout the UK. If you’re a girl looking for a Valentine’s gift for your man, why not book a romantic spa day for lovers? That way, you can both enjoy spending quality time together to relax and unwind in the tranquil setting of the Amida spa in either Middlesex or Kent, with his and her treatments included.

Even more romantic is a photoshoot, with a mini makeover included, at a professional photography studio, letting your love shine through to make for some dazzling photos that are yours to keep forever. We’ve got the His and Hers Photoshoot and the Couples’ Photoshoot for you to choose from, both offered at venues the length and breadth of the UK, with prices from £25.

Food has always been a way to our hearts and what could be more hedonistically wonderful than a cocoa-tastic chocolate making experience? It’s just perfect for him and for her - it involves food, fun and can be romantic too, especially if you lovingly hand craft shed loads of chocolate hearts! We’ve currently got two chocolate making venues in London as well as Dorset, Warwickshire and Bristol for you to choose from for your sweet-as-they-are Valentine’s treat, with prices starting from £102 for two people.

Of course, we’ve just picked out a few ideas to get you inspired for Valentine’s day and there are loads more romantic gifts to choose from on the Into the Blue website that you can buy in a matter of a few clicks, with the voucher being posted out first class to you or direct to your loved one - even more convenient than stopping at the petrol station for those flowers!
