Valentine’s Day 2020: Last-minute Ideas for that Romantic Celebration
Becoming a parent doesn’t — and shouldn’t — mean neglecting your spouse. In fact, it’s extra important to set aside time for your other half, because happy couples pave the way for a happy family. And while this is something to practise every day of every year, real life does get in the way sometimes. So on 14 February, let’s make it a point to celebrate couplehood. It can be a huge romantic gesture, or just a little one that whispers “I love you”. Let these Valentine’s Day 2020 last-minute ideas inspire you.
Make It a Bonus Long Weekend
Valentine’s Day 2020 falls on a Friday. Why not take the day off and make it a three-day getaway? For those who can’t get a babysitter, family-friendly options are available too.
Desert Glamping at The ANMON Resort Bintan
A new 3.5-star glamping experience in a scenic ‘desert’ environment has just descended on Treasure Bay Bintan. Check into a hipster-luxe tepee tent, complete with ensuite bathroom, patio, and stargazing panel above your bed.

Grooming for Romance
Loving your partner for who they are is important, but there’s nothing wrong with encouraging each other to be the best that we can be. It’s time to prep for romance!
Get gorgeous locks with Dyson Airwrap
Powered by the Dyson digital motor V9, the Dyson Airwrap styler uses jets of air to give you voluminous curls, natural waves, and smooth blow-dry finishes at home.

Drop him a hint and he might just surprise you with a personalised presentation case with it too! Get it here or at Dyson Demo Stores
Make him baby soft with NO HAIR CREW
You may love his crowning glory, but what about the hair elsewhere? In our climate, bacteria thrives as body hair traps sweat, resulting in icky body odour.

His newly uncovered silky, smooth skin could be the highlight of your Valentine’s Day 2020 escapades! Get it here
