Why not shake things up this year and give your sweetheart a healthier gift that won\u2019t land you in the doghouse?\u00a0 Here are few suggestions:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Breakfast in Bed:<\/strong> You can prepare a love inspired breakfast with heart shaped toast, eggs and\/or pancakes, ruby red grapefruit juice, a beautiful red rose, and fruit cut into flower shapes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day at the Spa:<\/strong> Instead of hyping your sweetheart up with sugar, soothe the nerves with a relaxing retreat to rejuvenate them.\u00a0 If you are not sure which treatment your honey will prefer, opt for a gift certificate to a favorite spa. You could also purchase a couple\u2019s massage for a romantic date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fruit Bouquet:<\/strong> If you are of the theory, \u201cI don\u2019t want to waste my money on flowers that will die,\u201d consider sending your sweetie a tasty bouquet of fruit. Include oranges, cantaloupes, honeydew, grapes,\u00a0 and strawberries.\u00a0 For a touch of sweetness, include some dark chocolate-dipped fruits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home Spa: <\/strong>If you would prefer a quiet evening at home, buy a gift basket that includes aroma therapy products, bubble bath, and massage oils.\u00a0 The scents of love and romance include: gardenia, jasmine, lavender, musk, rain, rose, and vanilla.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weekend Getaway:<\/strong> If budget and time are of no concern, book a trip to a warm climate and enjoy walking on the beach, snorkeling, and swimming with your soulmate.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any other great ideas for a healthy Valentine\u2019s Day, let us know.
