Romantic Weekend Break Gift Guide
by Becca
Ah, the romantic weekend away or "Mini Break" as us girls know it, is every girl's favourite gauge of a relationships progress. Basically, no mini break or romantic weekend trips equals no progress!
If you've not taken her away somewhere yet, then what's wrong with you?
Are you some kind of emotional cripple?
Oh, and just because you did it once back in 1999, don't think that's you off the hook for the next decade!
Look, just get something sorted, quick smart, OK. Here's a little help with the romantic part, if you need it.
Is your relationship overdue a Mini Break / romantic weekend away?
Right, this is your chance to show what you are made of -- in terms of relationship material;
to show the quality of your fibre. Get this weekend break right and she ( and most of her friends ) will be swooning over you. Get it wrong and, well, it will be three days of your personal hell.
Mini Breaks are all about romance - lest you forget
So, what's romance. Well, it isn't necessarily roses, chocolates and all those cliches -- though they rarely do any harm. No, true romance is about doing something especially for her.
So, she has to think "Ahh, he knows me so well / he's really thought about this weekend...".
The bad news then: you'd better know something about her, in order to be romantic!
Simple then: you spend a little time thinking about what she'll enjoy and organise the weekend around those activities.
I mean, hotels, etc are two a penny.
You can find a nice romantic location just about anywhere, but why have you brought her here?
Well, of course, it's for the horse riding/ Shakespeare festival/ extreme sports/ because she always wanted to try this or that and you've arranged it for this afternoon. Get it?!
Organise your romantic break around something that she will enjoy
and that shows how well you know her
What do you mean you haven't got any ideas for the central theme of your romantic break? I thought you said you knew her?! OK, so her favourite past time may be shopping, but I'm sure there's other stuff that she would really like to do. Does this list give you any ideas?
-
Is there something that she has always wanted to do?
-
Does she have any interests you could include in a trip or experience?
-
Is there a popstar, band or group she particularly likes (it is a gift for her!)?
-
Is there a romantic place she has always wanted to visit?
-
Is there a romantic place she loved that you could revisit?
-
Did she mention or show an unusual interest in anything recently (you might have been given a hint!)?
On that last point, you should be aware that you could wind-up in a whole heap of trouble if you've been oblivious to her subtle suggestions. Read Top Ten Mistakes Men Make Buying Gifts for Women.
