5 gift baskets to enjoy on a romantic weekend

One of the best ways to bring the spark back into your relationship is to plan a romantic weekend. Stock a heavy assortment of romantic goodies in a basket and snuggle away from distractions! Here are five types of gift baskets that can do wonders to your love life and make your weekend truly romantic.

Spa for two basket:

Can there be a better way to add fire to your love life than spending two days around candles and bubble bath? Create your own spa basket by adding scented candles, massage oils, soaps and gels. Also, snuggle in a fine bottle of wine and chocolates as treats. 

It is best to avoid gifts such as lingerie, or items that may cause embarrassment unless you are sure how your partner will react.  

Breakfast:

Weekends are all about spending time together. If the two of you are early risers then a breakfast gift basket is the way to go. Create a perfect basket using pastries and ingredients to make waffles and pancakes. You can also incorporate fresh fruits and yummy syrups for topping. For beverages, include small packs of teas and coffee.

Getaway basket:

A basket for a romantic weekend getaway may include a CD from your favorite band to enjoy during the journey. You can also snuggle in snacks such as, candy, cookies, and chips for the car. It is best to customize your basket according to the destination you are planning to visit. For instance, if you are taking a short adventure trip to the woods, make sure you pack in the necessities such as, mosquito repellants, energy bars and other supplies. Staying up hungry or getting bitten by insects can be a total romantic buzz kill. 
 
Meal in a basket:

A romantic meal at home followed by intimate moments may just be what your relationship needs. Include a variety of seasonings, gourmet foods and your favorite ingredients for the meal. Cooking a meal together is a great way to spend time. You can also add to the atmosphere by opening up a bottle of wine and making room for dessert. Experts believe that creamy desserts and chocolates act as aphrodisiacs that can trigger hormones of love inside men and women.  

Creative games: 

There are a variety of games that you can choose to spark conversations. Adult card games such as, Pictionary and Phase 10 are an interesting choice. If you want to take it a notch higher then opt for “truth or dare”. The main idea behind a game gift basket is improving communication, enhancing intimacy, and strengthening the bond between couples.

A weekend gift basket is more than just a present for your significant other. It will help you set the mood for an intimate setting that will ultimately help you revive your romance. The basket can include almost anything that the couple feels is romantic. Apart from this, as mentioned above, it can even follow a central theme, such as dinner date night, Valentine's Day, or weekend getaway.
