Breakfast in bed is the kind of pampering that both men and women appreciate. It is a classically romantic thing to do for your love. This Valentine’s Day, you can make their breakfast in bed an extra-special event by adding some unique Valentine sweetness. Choose from the ideas below to start your Valentine's Day off with a perfect breakfast!
Think Hearts.
- Use large heart-shaped cookie cutters to punch out cookies, biscuits, French toast and waffles (the waffles and toast can be punched out after they are cooked). Use the cookie cutters on a hot grill to pour heart-shaped pancakes (spray the cookie cutters with non-stick spray before you pour in the batter). If you aren’t into cooking, you can always purchase foods from a local bakery or restaurant.
- Buy heart-shaped extras like pastries or sugar cubes for their coffee (sugar cubes also come shaped as X's and O's).
- Freeze ice cubes in a heart-shaped ice tray.
Think Pink.
- Use berries to give your breakfast a Valentine's theme. Freeze raspberries, strawberrys, and/or mint leaves inside ice cubes.
- Make pink, red, and white drinks like fruit smoothies or a morning blended cocktail! Or simply add any red berries to juice or smoothies.
- Garnish the plate or drinks with fresh berries. If you remove the green thoroughly from strawberries and cut them in half, they look like little hearts!
- Cook berries into, or melt pink and red sprinkles on top of pancakes, muffins, or cinnamon rolls to give them color.
Think Special.
- If they are a tea lover, serve something special like a flowering tea. It is tea wrapped in such a way that when the tea leaves are rehydrated, the leaves and petals unwind to reveal an exotic flower pattern. Make sure to use a clear glass mug so that your love can see it.
- If they are a coffee lover, treat them to an exotic blend. Using a French press and other unconventional brewing methods can help bring out the flavors for an extra-thoughtful cup of Joe.
- Use a heart-shaped rock as a paperweight for paper napkins, or use heart-shaped napkin rings for cloth napkins.
