A Dozen Unconventional Romantic Gestures To Dazzle Your Valentine Show your sweetheart you love them, the movie way
Flowers, heart-shaped chocolates, overpriced cards: what if you’ve been there and done that? You’re going to need to try something new this Valentine’s Day – and with the help of cinema, we’ve come up with a few ideas to wow your loved ones with. Sure, a few of them are slightly impractical and/or life-threatening, but we’re sure you can find a way to make it work...
Is your other half a bookworm? If they’re a bibliophile or a librocubicularist (“one who reads in bed”) the perfect present could be access to your enormous personal library, which you happen to have in a forgotten wing of your enchanted palace, if Beauty And The Beast is anything to go by. It’ll cure that abibliophobia (“the fear of finding oneself without a book”) once and for all, and keep him or her entertained for aaaages.
Possible pitfalls: If you don’t happen to have an enchanted palace or enormous library, this is a little difficult. The modern, high-tech answer is of course a Kindle or iPad or something of that sort, but a) you risk running up a large bill in eBooks, and b) it isn’t half as likely to land you an honoured place on Bookshelf Porn.

She's getting half a dozen carnations this year.
hat. Is. Hilarious.
Humour is always a much better option than flowers, and I gotta tell you, I laughed my ass off at that! Read More
