Pro Tips for Valentine's Day
🚗 Transportation
Book a car service or use ride-sharing apps. Valentine's Day is busy, and you don't want to worry about parking or designated drivers. Many hotels offer valet.
🌸 Order Flowers Early
Florists in Bahrain get slammed on Valentine's Day. Order your bouquet at least 3-4 days in advance for delivery. Popular shops like The Posy often sell out completely.
📱 Make It Personal
The best Valentine's experiences are thoughtful, not just expensive. Consider what your partner actually loves — whether that's a simple beach picnic or a five-star dinner.
🎁 Experience Over Things
Studies show that experiences create more lasting happiness than material gifts. Consider booking a couples' experience like a cooking class, spa day, or yacht cruise.
