We all fantasize about romantic adventures and sentimental moments with our loved ones. These are the moments that can lead to the best memories and nothing means more than a touching gesture that shows just how much you love someone.

Whether it’s a homemade present or something a little more luxurious, it’s the thought that matters most. Give your special someone an extra token of  appreciation this year – rent a van, take a trip, or have that third course. You deserve it!

As February is the month of love, it’s the perfect time to take a moment and show our appreciation for the special people in our lives.

While simple objects and gifts can never replace true adoration, the gesture can still be incredibly significant. But, coming up with romantic ideas for your loved one to represent the way you feel can sometimes be a challenge. That’s why we came up with a few simple tips to help you make this year a little extra special.


Take a Surprise Road Trip

Nothing says romance like a little spontaneity. Hit the open road with your partner and have fun exploring different landmarks while chasing the setting sun.

You never know what adventures are waiting out there. Plus, the time spent together can strengthen your relationship and connection in new ways.

If you’re not sure where to go, start by taking your special person to one of your favorite places or make stops at places that remind you of your relationship. To add to the romance, book a luxurious van rental and travel from each location in comfort and style.

The quality time spent together is an incredible way to grow your connection by making new memories together in fun and interesting locations.

Make a Homemade Gift

Everyone appreciates a personalized gift because it shows the recipient that they are truly cared for. The feeling of being recognized for who you are and what you enjoy by the people you love most is a comforting sensation.

Giving your loved one handmade pottery, a sentimental card, or any representation of shared memory can be just as effective as objects with higher price tags. These gifts usually mean more because they show a deeper level of emotional intimacy.

Many homemade gifts can also be good for the environment. Some eco-friendly romantic gift ideas include all-natural lip balm and beauty products. Using recycled paper to create handmade cards with a romantic note or poem inside is also great. The key is, you don’t have to do something extravagant to win over your sweetheart. Just speak from the heart – your loved one will be sure to adore the gesture and cherish the moment.

Even if you aren’t good with your hands or can’t think of anything creative, just trying will mean more to them than you can imagine. The effort that you put into your gift will be appreciated far more than anything of monetary value.

Have a Fancy Dinner

The perfect, well-planned dinner can be all you need to set the tone for a beautiful evening. Dressing up in your nicest outfits, ordering a bottle of wine, and enjoying each other’s company in a relaxed, romantic atmosphere. Some people may feel that this type of date is cliché, but picking a restaurant you wouldn’t normally go to can really make the night feel special.

If going out is beyond your means or just not your style, have a fancy dinner at home. When searching for what to make, pick a recipe that is easy to get right and will make your loved one feel comfortable and excited.

A few options could be a delicious pasta dish with a bottle of wine or maybe a hearty steak. If you want to go above and beyond, you can make your loved one’s favorite meal. Once you have decided, go shopping a day or two early so you are prepared with everything you need and know the ingredients are fresh. Showing love through food is a fantastic way to please your partner.

Sleep Under the Stars

A great romantic idea for your loved one is grabbing a few blankets and letting the night sky provide the entertainment. Stargazing is already a magical experience, but you can make it even more special by renting a luxurious van for maximum comfort.

Turn off the engine and open the boot for the perfect viewing location. You can even add a few sleeping bags or a mattress to create your own little hideaway. For light, all you need is the twinkling illumination of the stars.

If you want a more outdoor experience, you can store camping gear in your van until you get to your destination. Then, set up for the night and enjoy listening to the sounds of nature while taking in the beauty of the vast and awe-inspiring night sky. Feeling like the only two people in the universe is sure to have a cosmic effect on both of you.

Bag a Sunny Holiday

Splurge a little and take your loved one on a Caribbean paradise date. A tropical escape is one of the best ways to unwind together as a couple.

Bury your toes in the sand, bask in the sun side-by-side, and sip on drinks as the crystal clear blue water laps against the shore. Nothing says love like time spent together.

If you’re a couple who likes adventure more than relaxing, who says your tropical getaway can’t include some time on the road? Hire a car on your getaway like the Batemans did and visit more tourist-friendly destinations and get a glimpse into local living by driving through the island backroads in a luxurious van rental.

Couples Spa Day

What better way to show your partner you love them than with a little pampering. A spa day is sure to make your loved one feel special while also giving you both some much-needed relaxation.

Book a couples massage for the most intimate connection or enjoy some time alone with separate massages. Why not incorporate your spa day into your Caribbean escape? There’s plenty of well-researched benefits to taking a spa & wellbeing break together

If massages aren’t exactly your thing, you can get a facemask together or even just sit in the sauna. All of these options can be a great way to show someone you love them and value their happiness.
