Ideas for Valentines Day..

Hello!!!

So have you, your Valentines Day or Night sorted? 

Well, I have decided to do a post on things to do with your loved one on this day.

I think sometimes you need inspiration for the day.

"DAY TIME"

Dublin Zoo!

I know your thinking! Dublin Zoo, really? Yes really. Dublin Zoo have come up with an amazing idea to do during the day of Valentines day. If you are an early bird and love something different. Well they are offering a DATE MORNING. So what is this about??

This is with a difference. Dublin Zoo will open there doors early morning for the special couples to have a breakfast to remember.

This is open for Valentine Day Feb 14th and the day after Feb 15th. 

You will collected a beautifully prepared picnic basket full of breakfast goodies, for you and your partner to enjoy that morning. Lay back and relax and listen to the early morning sights and sounds of the animals in their habitat. A special zoo keeper will do talks on the courtship, partnership and exotic rituals of their animals. When you leave you will get a romantic goody bag and souvenir key ring as memory of their visit and experience. 

This is open to 100 couples at €65 a couple. Times to entre is between 8-9.30am and picnic can be collected in Haughton House from 9-10am.

An unusal experience and a lovely idea. 

You can buy tickets HERE . 

Afternoon Tea!!

If you both have to work that day or one of you is, why not plan your lunch around each other. Maybe a spot of tea. Alot of hotels do afternoon tea and can be relaxing whether you have a cup of tea or a glass of pink bubbly.

I liked Galway`s G Hotel for afternoon tea.

A gorgeous unique boutique hotel. Really feels luxurious and special. A lovely treat for your other half and all year around. You will get to indulge in fresh made pastries, fresh fruit scones and jams, finger sandwiches, sweet bites and all on a lovely presented stand. 

With Tea and Coffee it is €42 for 2 people or if you want some bubbles, pink to be exact it is €59 for 2 sharing. 

Served Mon-Fri 3-6 and Sat/Sun/Bank Holidays 12-6.

A great alternative if you are not into the hype of dinner and date nights on the day. Relaxing and fun .

"NIGHT TIME"

Dinner Time

If like me you love to go out for a meal and love food! This is a great idea. If you are both away during the day or just dont feel like cooking then eating out with a few drinks is ideal.

I personally will be eating out Valentines weekend and enjoying it with himself.

Here are some places I think are worth checking out..

Riverbank Restaurant Dromahair, Co. Leitrim

I personally love this restaurant and eat here regularly in their bar the Clubhouse Bar. Last year I enjoyed a Valentines meal here and enjoyed everything. This year they are offering a 7 course meal for €80 a couple. That is a glass of Kir Champers, Soup, Sharing Starter, Sorbet, Choice of Mains, Dessert to share, Tea/Coffee and Petit Flours. 

I think it a lovely set meal and great for your loved one you want to spoil. Here is a look at their menu.. >>Click Here<<

Westwood Hotel, Galway

A great 3 course menu with a glass of prosecco on arrival. I love the feel and comfort of the hotel. I have visited with family many times for bar food and restaurant food and weddings and love it. For €29.95 per person. A lovely meal to treat someone.

Okay , Okay I know very obvious. But maybe its on your wishlist. Weather your man goes and wants to go, it is a must see movie this year. Time to see what the fuss is about. Coming to cinemas from Feb 13th! Starring Jamie Doran. 

American Sniper

I have heard this is a great film. An emotional movie on war and family life, Bradley Cooper is in this and all I keep hearing is great reviews, on my wishlist right now.

Wild

Starring Reese Witherspoon. An easy movie to watch and movie following the characters rebirth of herself. If you dont want action or romance then maybe check this one out.
