Valentine Ideas Romantic San Diego

Picnic - Pack all your favorite foods in a picnic lunch, grab a bottle of winer or your favorite drink, and head out for a picnic at a local park, hiking trail or beach. If you don't want to cook, buy take out from your love's favorite restaurant. I like Urban Plates - healthy choices anyone ranging from vegan to meat-and-potatoes guy.

Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts' Nite - If you love Disneyland, why not spend this special day at Disneyland California. There are special nights reserved for sweethearts, or just plan a fun day or or more.

See’s Candies - Treat your Sweetheart to a box of sweet candies from See’s. My favorite is a Custom Mix, a box of hand-selected chocolate. If you know what chocolates your valentine loves, such as dark chocolate with all nuts except peanuts, or milk chocolates with fruit filling, then you can choose just those special chocolates for your box. Discount gift certificates available at Costco. Multiple locations for See’s Chocolate stores, or order online at www.sees.com. One of the time-honored Valentines Day Ideas.

Flower Ideas for Valentines Day - When ordering flowers, have them delivered 1-2 days in advance, so they can be enjoyed and admired before that special day. Or select a potted plant or flowering bulbs such as Dutch Iris, that can be planted and enjoyed for future years. Living plants make great Valentine Ideas!
