The non-cringe inducing Valentines Day Gift Guide
For goodness-sake put those heart shaped helium balloons and choccies in the bin before somebody sees them. Although Valentine’s Day ranks pretty low on the list of celebrated days (thank goodness), it’s still worth showing your S/O you think their pretty swell with a cute, non-cringe inducing gift.
We’re pretty sure they’ll love something from this list - or hot tip, go for an experience. That way you can both enjoy it, how thoughtful of you.
The Experience
Dinner For Two
This is really very simple, you both have to eat, so why not do it in a romantic setting at one of Auckland’s finest dining establishments? Our recommendations; Woodpecker Hill or Botswana Butchery.
Get Cultured
Indulge in a cultural experience to show bae you’re more than just a pretty face! Try the Art Gallery or the Pop-Up Globe to really sweep them off their feet, or at very least, get them standing if you can only afford a ticket in the the pit.
Secluded Picnic
Nothing says understated romance, like a secluded picnic accompanied by an assortment of your favourite snacks and a UEBOOM. Want to take things up a notch? Why not venturing to a winery that allows you to use their grounds. The Hunting Lodge is the perfect place with their ‘Cellar Door & Lawn Bar’ Relax on the lawn with a platter or two while you sample seasonal wine and Liberty beer.
Outdoor movie, beanbags, woodfired pizzas and snuggly blankets, sold yet? American Express Open Air Cinemas are currently showing a stellar selection of flicks. BYO blanket and picnic, or select a more boujee option that come equipped with comfy bean bag chairs.
