Valentine's Day. That time of year when we shower that special someone with gifts and affection. Or a last-minute present we picked up on the way home. It's OK. We've all done it. And while classic moves like flowers, chocolates, and a nice dinner are certainly a must, why not go the extra mile? You know, think outside the box. So with that in mind, Vistara at SanTan Village has compiled a list of three romantic ideas to help you pull off the perfect Valentine's Day surprise.

Comedy Valentine’s Day Improv Show

Is your significant other a fan of live comedy? Then why not surprise them with tickets to Chaos Comedy Valentine’s Day Improv Show. This evening of improv games on Feb. 12 is themed around Valentine's Day and audience suggestions, so be sure to think of a few ideas your partner would enjoy.

Feel the Love

Nothing does the trick like romantic music when it comes to setting the mood. At the Feel the Love free concert performed by the Women's Orchestra of Arizona, you and yours will enjoy being serenaded with beautiful renditions of classical music as well as a medley of famous love songs. And with the event happening on Feb. 6 at 3 PM, the love of your life will definitely be surprised.

Hot Air Expeditions
