Valentine's Day Picnic anyone?

The oh so dreaded Valentine's Day is in a few weeks and we are going to treat you, dear valued customer, to some creative and meaningfully non commercial ways to celebrate with your special someone. I don't know about you but I dread nothing more than going out to dine at my favorite restaurant on a widely celebrated holiday. Not only are we normally forced to wait long after our reservation time but once seated we are then given a "holiday menu" featuring limited overpriced options. After ordering we then learn that it will be impossible to savor this overpriced meal due to the restaurants overbooked seating chart and over aggressive wait staff.

Over the years I discovered that dining in on these wonderful holidays prove to be the best, most intimate way to celebrate. If you are lucky enough to live in a place with temperately warm weather year round an outdoor picnic is a great way to sweep your significant other off of their feet. If you live in the bitter cold like I do - an indoor picnic set up on your living room floor proves to be the perfect compromise. What's that?... You don't have the time or resources to prepare a picnic? Have no fear our Picnic Time Line has come to your rescue with these great products that will remedy your Vday woes.

Picnic Backpack Capri w/ Wine Duffle Set For 2 in Cornflower by Picnic Time
This Picnic Backpack Capri w/ Wine Duffle Set For 2 is so divine it could make a back alley romantic. This set contains all of the dishes and tools that you will need to make your evening simply fantastic.

But I don't know how to cook you say... Duh, the whole idea of a picnic is simple and fun food. The following picnic foods would surely win my heart.

1. Sliced fresh fruit and vegetables
2. Using the included cheese tray and knife to create a delectable spread of dairy
3. Pack a thermos (see below) of canned soup in the Thermo-Guard insulated pocket
4. Store bought cookies of chocolate
5. Wine - lots of wine...

If you don't have faith in your picnic abilities may I suggest Coffee Tea Shoulder Tote Duffle Caffeccino Set for 2 by Picnic Timecoffee in the park or by the fire (gas fire places are just as acceptable). Your significant other will be blown away by this Coffee Tea Shoulder Tote Duffle Doppio Set for 2 because nothing says I love you like a thermos full of caffeinated goodness (also good for storage of soup mentioned above).

If you don't heed my advice on staying away from the crowded restaurant on thisValentine's Day... All I have to say is- Godspeed. Valentine's Day ideas by picnic time
