Romance....best way to accomplish a truly romantic evening is to make sure you are covering all of the senses.
Scent: a very cheap way to scent your house is to add a bunch of cinnamon to one cup of water and set it on a low simmer on the stove. You can also play around adding with vanilla, orange slices (t'is the season). These will all give your house a lovely warm scent.
Sight: You will of course be ravishingly lovely; house clean, with no bright lights or messy areas.
Lighting: soft cangles; ikea sells tealights inexpensively ; go overboard with these (but be careful to use safe containers - a fire is NOT romantic). You can place a whole bunch of them around in rows in a room, and have that as your only source of light. Very soft and romantic ...
Flowers, if you can afford them are always nice on a table; if you can't, but are the creative sort, you can go cut some grasses and tree branches down and arrange them in a vase. If you use only a few with strong lines (heck, you could even try some small branches with twigs) you can accomplish a very simple and elegant arrangement.
My current favorite: If you have a rectangular dish, you can use Christmas oranges laid out symetrically as a centerpiece.... a very strong visual effect, and a little out of the ordinary.
Sound: Music; anything jazz....as long as it is soft and unobtrusive; this element should be a supporting player, not the main event.
Taste: Dessert: it depends on where the night is intended to go - you could do a trifle (very decadant, and many recipes online), but you'll be full afterwards. You can keep it simple with slices of fresh strawberries, maple syrup and cream, with shavings of dark chocolate. Less is sometimes more, (particularly on a night headed for romance) as long as everything you use is very good quality. You could even simply get a very nice bar of dark chocolate and serve this with wine. (Apparently very popular in the UK)
Hmmm...what else.....doing something nice...you could plan a bath for two, (and float flower blossoms on the water, or scent it with essential oil), give him a massage, play a couples game (I'm sure there are tons of these available on the internet....truth or dare, (not as romantic, but lots of fun).
Hope some of this helps....good luck!!
The dessert is you, my dear. That will surely please him.
something with chocolate would be the best desert.
Death by Chocolate
INGREDIENTS
1 (19.8 ounce) package brownie mix
2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered English toffee
DIRECTIONS
Prepare brownies according to package directions. Let cool.
Mix pudding according to package directions.
In a glass punch bowl, layer in the following order: 1/2 of the brownie, crumbled; 1/2 of the pudding; 1 toffee bar, crushed; 1/2 of the whipped topping.
Repeat layers in the same order. Save the last toffee bar to crumble and sprinkle on top before serving.
Refrigerate. Best if made the day before you serve it.
Put candles around the room and spray your fav perfume into the air. Serve dinner in a little nighty and he will love it!
You can do the old fashioned way: the candle light dinner with rose pedals all around the table and stuff.
Or you can have a red table cloth on a table under a dim light and nice dishes out and play some soft music like Corrine Bailey Rae or whatever kind of music the both of you can enjoy. Then you can write him a note and tell him how much you love him and how happy you are that he is in your life or something like that. It doesn't have to be paragraphs long or sound like the best writer on earth wrote it. Set the note someplace where he will see it-like on his plate or tucked inside his napkin.
If you need help on dessert you could make ice cream sundaes or have a banana split for you guys to share. If where you're at, it's too cold for ice cream, hot chocolate and vanilla wafers are nice.
I hope I helped!
you can do a candle light setting in the bedroom/ living area.
Suculent fruit (Berries) and Wine (Rose or White)= $15.00.
And your choice of slow, classical or R&B.
