It’s time to get yourself ready for roses, hearts and Cupid. If you feel like really treating your love this year, how about taking them away for the weekend? There are so many good travel deals available at the moment for both local and international trips. Why not pack just the essentials into a bag and get away from the stresses of city life. Imagine being able to escape to the mountains or beach, with no cellphone signal, and spend a few days relaxing with your partner with no interruptions. South Africa is home to numerous excellent restaurants. There are also plenty of more affordable options which pack a major flavour punch. Remember to find out what your loved one’s favourite cuisines are before picking a restaurant. If you’re in Johannesburg and they love Italian food, go to Satori in Linen for their delicious creamy pastas and thin-based pizzas. If you’re in the Pretoria area and love meat, consider a trip to Puttanesca for their mouth-watering steak. And if you’re in the Durban area, choose to go for an authentic curry at Capsicum Restaurant at the Britannia Hotel. Take your partner to one of these special locations for a night they will never forget. Remember, the jewellery we choose to wear is a very personal decision and you won’t want to get this wrong. Browse online and in-store for popular options and try to imagine how they’ll fit in with your loved one’s style. With these tips you should have a romantic and memorable Valentine’s Day planned in no time at all. If you have children, you will always want to provide the best for them. You’ll also dream of giving them special gifts which they’ll remember you by. Buying gifts for the special woman in your life can be relatively easy. Most women like sparkly things so jewellery is always the best option. Women also love to be spoilt, so get that combination right and this will be the most special Valentine’s Day yet. Watches will never go out of style, even if we can just use our cellphones to tell the time. A watch is the perfect gift for that special man in your life. Both stylish and functional, a watch is a favourite accessory with men, even with those who are too manly to accessorise. While a watch makes for a great gift, choosing the perfect one can be tricky. Do you go for simplistically sophisticated or rugged and ready for action? The festive season is fast approaching and with it comes the perfect time to propose. Who wouldn’t love telling the story for years to come of a Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve proposal? Buying a gift for someone over the festive season is only half the job. While it’s customary to use a roll of shop-bought wrapping paper, a more special touch is required when jewellery is the chosen gift. The simplest of ideas often makes the greatest impression. Make Mother's Day 2014 one she'll always remember by spoiling her with the most perfect gift. Although summer is fading, there is no need to feel left out in the cold.
