Anni Sofferet
She's about to kiss the frog... but will he turn into a Prince? That's the stuff romantic valentine's day celebration ideas are made of. The good ones anyway, like these 10 romantic valentine's day celebration ideas for making the moment unforgettable, whether it's a first date, an erotic union, or the celebration of an endless love.

#1. Find the Ancient Love-Poem Scroll

For old love, or new love, this romantic valentine's day celebration idea speaks with the a timeless voice. Print your favorite love-poem in Monotype Corsiva font (here's where to find the best Valentine's-Day-Poems). Crumple the paper and immerse it in strong tea for 30 seconds. Carefully straighten it and let the love-poem dry. Burn the edges of the paper with a match (over a sink with running water to prevent the fire from spreading). Now tie your love-poem scroll with a red ribbon and hide it. Hide several scrolls in unexpected places for your lover to find throughout your Valentine's Day celebration.

#2. Take a Walk Down Prescient Gift Lane

Let the winter cold send your love rushing to your arms for warmth. With this romantic valentine's day celebration idea you can seem almost prescient with your guesswork, for first you will buy your love a scarf, hat, thick socks and gloves and wrap each separately in Valentine's day paper. Next, hide your gifts in the park inside tree stumps or under rocks (first placing them in Ziploc bags). Then put this romantic valentine's day celebration idea into action. Take your love for a stroll in the park, and when she or he start to get cold, let them find your first Valentine's day gift, then the second, third, fourth...

#3. Pick A Wishing Star from the Sky

Check with your city parks if any will have boat rentals on Valentine's Day evening. After spending an afternoon picnicking to the sunset, rent a boat and implement a most romantic valentine's day celebration idea. As your love looks up at the stars and makes a wish, pull out a star Christmas ornament from your pocket, dangle it in the air, then pick it out of the sky-a wishing star to make your lover's dreams come true.

#4. Bear it Together

Kindle the child inside your soul with a little innocent toy making. This romantic valentine's day celebration idea takes you into a make-a-bear store. There, craft two love bears together, one "He" bear, one "She", with lapel pins that state the year and occasion. Then, intertwine the bear arms as you leave the store with a romantic valentine's day celebration idea that will commemorate the evening for all time.

#5. Forget the World in a Dancing Swirl

Unite your bodies and hearts in a night of romantic dancing. Go to an elegant restaurant or club offering ball room dancing, or choose a downtown club where neon shafts and loud music shut the world outside. Then end the evening dancing at home to soft romantic music, as you strip the clothing from each other and turn your romantic dance into an intimate valentine's day celebration.

#6. Celebrate Your Epicurean Love

Turn the ordinary "going out to dinner" experience into a romantic valentine's day celebration your lover will never forget. Choose the most romantic restaurant in town, a place you've never been before, and make reservations well in advance. Look for an intimate Italian bistro or a Moroccan oasis where you can eat with your hands. Create a distraction and slip a romantic Valentine's gift under your date's napkin or in the bread basket. On the way home, stop suddenly in a unexpected place (perhaps your neighborhood park), be mysterious as you go looking for something, then pull out a bouquet of flowers that you can keep hidden in the trunk of your car or perhaps hidden in the park itself.

#7. Feast like Venice and Apollo

There's nothing quite so appealing as a basket full of elegant treats from champagne to caviar, pate to mélange, mouse to frappe. But first, start this romantic valentine's day celebration idea with a romantic ride. Rent a horse-drawn carriage to take you and your love to your favorite picnic site, or turn your car into a romantic chariot by tying love balloons to the side mirrors and leaving gifts hidden in the glove compartment, cup holder, door pocket, visor and seat (here are more ideals for Valentine's day car decorations ) . Then spread a blanket on the shore of a pond or beneath an icy tree and have a gourmet romantic valentine's day celebration. And be sure to bring a little propane heater with you as the best surprise of all.

#8. Became Mer-people for One Night

Don't go outside in search of romantic valentine's day celebration ideas-stay indoors, instead, in the steam of a romantic bath. Buy fragrant soaps, bath salts and bubbles in advance or together on Valentine's day. Get Valentine's day robes for each of you and look for spa products like special skin exfoliating brushes and tantalizing bubbles that fizz on your skin. Add epicurean delights to this romantic valentine's day celebration idea by bringing the feast into your spa. Prepare an ice bucket with champagne, strawberries and caviar, cheese and pate. Then turn your Valentine's day celebration into a night of sensuality.

#9. Skate the Ice Breaker Rink

What could be more hopeful and terrifying than a first date on Valentine's Day. Take the edge off the moment with a little laughter. This romantic valentine's day celebration idea is very colorful-black and blue sort of color. Go ice skating together. You'll have to hold hands to stay up, and you're sure to laugh as you fall down together. And if by some terrible disaster your date proves to be a world class skater, well... this romantic valentine's day celebration idea will certainly make an unforgettable story to tell your grandchildren.

#10. Unwrap Yourself for the Occasion (ladies only, please)

If you've saved yourself as your Valentine's day gift for your love, don't serve yourself up on a silver platter. This romantic valentine's day celebration idea is reserved for the fairer sex (because men will look more like the park pervert that a sexy Valentine's day surprise). So... for women, wear a stunning Valentine's day negligee with only a coat over it. Wear high boots, a hat, scarf and gloves and you will look fully dressed. Then, when you're ready, let the steam out of this romantic valentine's day celebration idea by asking your date to help you take off your coat.
