Forgot Valentine’s Day – make it up to them

If you forgot Valentine’s Day this year, you most likely feel absolutely dreadful. Not to worry, you can still make it up to your partner or spouse by sending them a very special, albeit belated, romantic gift. Here are some ideas and ways of making it up to them.

Fresh flowers

The first thing you need to do when you realise that you forgot Valentine’s Day is shop for fresh flowers. The good news is that you may find some great deals around this time of year. Especially when it comes to romantic bouquets like red roses or other red blooms.

Something sweet

When shopping for blooms, your florist should also offer extras like luxury chocolates. They might be part of a bundle gift or you can add them to your order for a small additional fee. Either way, there are no half measures when you know that you forgot Valentine’s Day and you need to find a way out of the doghouse.

Go out or stay in

Choosing where to spend your night will depend on your budget, work schedules and preferences. There is no right or wrong answer here. A dinner date at home can be just as romantic as one out at a fancy restaurant. So, take a moment to think about all of the things your partner loves before making a decision.

Be honest

If you forgot Valentine’s Day, face up to your mistake and apologise. There’s no point in hiding it or trying to make excuses. A sincere apology will go a long way. Your florist will include a card with the bouquet so you can let them know what the card should read.

If you really want to make it up to your partner or spouse, you can take it one step further and make a weekend of it. Take them out for a weekend away and they may just wish that you forgot Valentine’s Day every year!
