Paromita Chakrabarti

Posted: Feb 13, 2008 at 2338 hrs IST

*Head for the Zen Serena Spa at Metropolitan Hotel on Bangla Sahib Road. The Adam and Eve suite there offers a three-hour long steam bath, facial, Adam and Eve Serenity massage, honey and sesame body blow and a foot bath with your loved one. While you are there, sip the sparkling wine and taste the grapes that come in the fruit basket, complimentary with the suite. The experience costs Rs 11,000 with a 10 per cent discount.

For booking, contact: 4250-0200

*If you would rather curl up with your loved one and prefer reading a book together, then we have just the right option for you— an anthology of love stories by authors as diverse as William Faulkner, Milan Kundera and Nabokov. Edited by Jeffrey Eugenides, My Mistress’s Sparrow is Dead: Great Love Stories from Chekhov to Munro (Harper Perennial, Rs 295) has just the right dose of literary mush to keep you both hooked. “I offer this book as a cure for lovesickness,” writes its editor. We think you would agree.

*Of course, you could cook up a storm in the kitchen as well, and have some expert chefs helping you with the finer details. At Italia at the Radisson Hotel, Delhi, you could be a part of their ‘cook for your love’ theme. You could use the pizza base they dole out to shape and garnish it the way you want. It will then be cooked by the chefs and served to your loved one just the way you wish, along with a set Italian plate. The outing will cost Rs 4000 per couple.

For booking, call: 26779191, extension: 643

*Gift your loved one a hand-held GPS navigator device. Launched by Map My India, the company which offers digital maps and consumer navigation services, it’s a pocket size device that lets its owner find out details about local ATMs, multi-cuisine restaurants, health care centres and all that they need to know of their whereabouts. The sleek device is functional across 18 major cities and has a 52 POI (Point of Interest). Priced at Rs 21,000 in Delhi, it is just the ideal gift to keep your loved one always in the loop. Available at www.mapmyindia.com.

*We all know that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. However, with the advent of moissanite jewellery, it seems everyone could afford it. A lab-created gemstone, Moissanite is made out of silicon carbide and looks exactly like a diamond, only it costs significantly less. It’s a favourite with Hollywood stars for its lustre and brilliance and is often passed off as the real thing. Pick up a cluster ring from Sparkling Hues at E- 18, South Extension, Part- II, for Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 and see the sparkle in her eyes, just as they promised you in the good old commercials.
