Next week is Valentine’s Day. The other day of the year you buy presents for people to demonstrate how much you love them. As much as I am anti-Valentine’s Day on the outside, I’m a complete ‘Love/Actually’ sucker on the inside, that cries at every sentimental gesture. So to give a quick nod to celebrate this day, here are some gift ideas that will make anyone’s heart go pitter-patter.

According to Redbox, love is still alive… it’s just not in any major cities. [surprise, surprise…not!] “We pulled data on romantic movie rentals from U.S. cities to discover which markets were more inclined to look for love,” says Ash Eldifrawi, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at Redbox.

Here are two of my favorite go-to travel and hospitality spots chockfull of exotic, common, and cliché destinations that can make any day of love extra special. [Especially, if you are whisking them away that night, on a surprise rendezvous!! ::swoon::]
And if staying in is your thing, as it is mine, snuggling up with a rented (or streamed) favorite is always an idea option for the day of. To make it even more like a movie theatre experience, pop popcorn, buy their movie theatre treat of choice, even buy Icees if they prefer that to coke or water. Here are a couple of choice rental brands that usually never disappoint.
