Valentine’s Day needs shaking up.
We think that for far too long people have been putting up with the same tired old suggestions for celebrating Valentine’s Day.
Flowers and chocolates? Meh.
A meal out? Nice but done so many times before.
A romantic night of Netflix and chilling? Don’t we do that pretty much every night?
But don’t worry. If you need inspiration on how to make February 14 2017 truly memorable for that special someone in your life, Tinggly is here to help you Make Valentine’s Day Great Again!
With Tinggly gift experiences, you buy someone a package, and they can choose whatever they want to do, at a time and place that suits them – all over the world! Plus, many of our experiences are made for couples, so we’ve put together some of the most romantic experience gifts in our collection, to help you bring the love in a big way this year.
Now flamenco is, along with the tango, probably the most romantic form of dancing there is, full of soulful expression, heartbreak and longing, tied in with irresistible rhythms. Another reason we love this experience is that Seville is without doubt one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, and the lesson takes place in an atmospheric courtyard. You have a professional instructor to tell you about the origins, passions and techniques of flamenco dancing, before you try out some moves on the dancefloor. Seriously addictive.
Overnight stay in a French ‘Bubble Hotel’
Many couples choose to go away for Valentine’s Day – it’s always good for a relationship to escape your routine and spend some alone time alone together once in awhile. This is a truly unique hotel stay though – in the countryside just outside Marseilles there is a small resort where you sleep overnight in a giant plastic bubble. Sounds a bit weird but wait until you try it. The bubbles are supremely comfortable, and transparent at the top, so you have stunning views of the night sky. Jump in the jacuzzi and pop the cork on a bottle of champagne, and bubble your way to ecstasy.
Perfect for the travelling couple that love to party, this unique guided tour sees you loaded into a stylish VW Kombi van and then transported around the southwestern coastline, hitting all the trendiest nightspots along the way. With your own personal driver and a minibar at your disposal, it’s got all the ingredients for a luxury night out. Stop off for a cocktail here, a paddle in the sea there, and enjoy the coolest evening in Bali there is.
Whether you’re working in Dubai or visiting on holiday, you’ll love this couples’ night out in the beautiful desert. Embark on a magical journey over the dunes by 4×4, under a starlit sky, to a romantic desert camp where a mouthwatering Arabian banquet awaits. You’ll watch belly dancers twirling as you eat, then you can take a camel ride, try sand-boarding, smoke on a shisha pipe, or even get His ‘n’ Hers henna tattoos.
Chocolate Walking Tour in Brussels
How many times have guys presented their loved one with a box of chocolates on Valentine’s Day, picked up last-minute on the way home from work? Here’s his chance to make up for it with a delicious guided walking tour through the city that makes world-famous chocolates – Brussels. You’ll see the shops of legends like Marcolin, Godiva and Neuhaus, visit the oldest chocolate store in the city, and then finally enjoy a 1-hour workshop learning how to make your own pralines from a Master Chocolatier. Naturally plenty of tastings are included too – yum!
Hot Air Balloon Ride over Vilnius Old Town
The Lithuanian capital is one of Europe’s most attractive, and its Old Town is a masterpiece, an architectural mix of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical styles. Thousands of sightseers wander its streets every year, but very few see it from above. A hot air balloon is probably one of the most elegant and romantic forms of travel there is, and this journey takes you over most of the city’s most famous landmarks such as the Town Hall Square and the Presidential Palace for dramatic bird’s-eye views.
