Whether you have a special someone or plan to celebrate with friends, Valentine’s Day is the time to remind your nearest and dearest just how much you love them. Treat your sweetheart to a day of fun activities that will make anyone feel appreciated.
- Rise and shine – Ditch the expensive, over-crowded dinner out and serve breakfast-in-bed to show your loved ones you care! It doesn’t matter who you’re serving – from your kids to your spouse, this thoughtful gesture is sure to impress anyone. Your local Kroger will have everything you need from eggs and pancake mix to last-minute bouquets.
- Pamper each other – Upgrade the usual flowers-and-chocolates combo with a spa day for the both of you. Alliance Town Center offers a variety of relaxing options that you both can enjoy. Take time for a peaceful couple’s massage at Massage Envy or Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa or give your hands and feet some TLC at a full-service nail salon such as Deluxe Nails, Palace Nails and Spa, Envy Nails and Spa or Hollywood Spa & Nails.
- Design a scavenger hunt – With so many dining and entertainment options around Alliance Town Center, planning a special scavenger hunt doesn’t have to take you far from home! Spend the day taking advantage of Bluestem Park’s 14-acre scenic trail and open space, or enjoy Prairie Vista Park’s tranquil 7-acre pond. A scavenger hunt will allow you both time to do something fun and a little unconventional.
- Wine a little – Total Wine has a special wine collection suited for every romantic meal. If you’re digging into that box of chocolate truffles, they recommend Wink Risque Red, a berry-heavy red blend from California. A honeyed Paradise Peak Sweet Riesling will balance the sweetness of fruit tarts or cream-filled pastries. A crisp rose, Chateau La Tour Sainte Anne Rose complements white sauces, fish, souffles and Asian cooking. A medium-bodied bottle of Carson Ridge Cabernet Paso Robles will pair perfectly with pasta or steak. If you’re unsure what will pair with your meal, be sure to ask one of Total Wine’s knowledgeable associates.
- A night out of the house – Organize a staycation overnight at the Alliance Courtyard Marriott. Getting away from all the distractions of daily life can be the perfect excuse to unwind and reconnect. The Courtyard has everything you need to enjoy your close-to-home getaway.
Don’t procrastinate in making plans this Valentine’s Day. A truly thoughtful and well-planned day is a great way to show those in your life how truly special they are to you.
