Valentine Week 2017 could not have got better than this.

Valentine’s Week is here and we can’t wait. February commences to brew an air of romance and love.  Well, while love is in the air, there is no time to plan the valentine nuances. Where is the time? Nonetheless, I have curated a good list of To-Dos for you and your lover. (You can thank me later). 😉

Meanwhile, don’t forget to buy some really cute gifts for your loved-ones. A collage or a branded car (if your budget allows) can be gifted to your valentine. If you are married, gifting an expensive gift should not be an issue. This has two advantages: a) Ultimately the gift is coming home. b) your lover feels pleased like never before.

While there is long time planning going on beforehand top make the day special, some believe in instant planning . Here is the rescue. So if you are one like me, here is a tailored key for you. Here is a list of things you can do for your loved ones, on these magical days.

Apart from spelling the 3-letter magical word, do more. Go beyond the cliché and do extra-ordinary. Spending time at a festival was never a bad idea. When you indulge in the bright festivities and unending extravaganza, your spirits are elevated and spirits soar high. Booking a candle light dinner, taking her on a long-drive, gifting her clothes or a pretty-cum-less expensive ring to adorn her fingers are just ordinary.

Take her to exotic festivals. Festivals which spur compassion and as much amusement. This is something memorable and unordinary. Unusual things have an infallible charm around them.

If travelling to Indian locations was on your list, here are festivals to visit to keep the budget in check plus lesser travelling formalities, here are a couple of events you both will remember for a lifetime, I bet. Here:
