3. Make him smooth, suave and ready to dance

Want to see your man smarten up with a clean or even stylized shave for a cozy night out? Well, then take matters into your own hands and get him a brand new Philips AquaTouch AT890.

This wet and dry electric shaver is the secret to a smooth, clean shave. Designed for use even while in the shower, the AquaTouch offers both a comfortable dry shave as well as a refreshing wet shave. It features an inbuilt Aquatec seal which makes the shaver fully waterproof and optimized for use with shaving gel or foam. This means enhanced skin comfort and minimal skin irritation.

In addition, it utilizes DualPrecision shaving heads that have slots to shave the normal hairs and holes to shave even the shortest stubble. With his clean and suave look, he’s ready for a night of fine dining and slow dancing!

4. Turn your home into a cinema, and have an all-day movie date

Sometimes, the best dates don’t need to be extravagant or overly special. They can happen right at home. This Valentine’s Day, stay in and spend an entire day all bundled up, watching movies with your loved one. And do it with cinema-like audio courtesy of the Philips Soundbar CSS5123.

A sleek and premium speaker system, the Soundbar utilizes Virtual Surround Sound technology, wherein the speakers are precisely angled to create a surround sound effect for a realistic movie experience. A 2012 Red Dot Design winner, it also features a DoubleBASS technology which enhances the bass for a deeper and fuller effect.

5. Sip on fresh fruit juice on a romantic picnic

There’s nothing like fresh fruit juice made directly from your kitchen. It’s the healthiest drink you can get—especially during a season that calls for chocolates and cakes. Put a healthy little twist to your Valentine’s celebration by preparing your own fruit juices using the Philips Avance Juicer HR1871.

Easy to assemble, the Avance Juicer operates with an 800 W motor that can squeeze tough ingredients like apples or carrots. The extra large feeding tube allows you to put whole fruits and vegetables directly without having to pre-cut it. An electro-polishing technology optimizes juicer cleaning from the mesh on the sieve to the pulp container.

And what better way to enjoy fresh fruit juice than outdoors—on a romantic picnic with your partner!

Feel and spread the love this Valentine’s Day with these laid-back date ideas for you and your special someone. And romance shouldn't be reserved for just Valentine's Day, an anniversary or a birthday, but by the little things you do for our loveones. Enjoy your wonderful world throughout the year!
