Five course dinner and a glass of Laurent Perrier at Barolo ($135 pp)

The former Partington's at The Langham has been transformed into a lush and exotic Piedmontese dining room.  It's very romantic in a 'secret assignation/we are too in love to leave the hotel' way.  We all know hearts and stomachs are directly linked:  only available Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 February with reservations essential.  Call (09) 300 2885 or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Servilles Ponsonby Hotness ticket ($100)

Last but so far from least!  We are insane about this idea:  you take your clean dry hair to Servilles with your hotness ticket and they will do whatever necessary for up to 25 mnutes - curl, tease, straighten, pin - to reveal your inner hotness!  You need this one BEFORE Valentine's Day.  One $100 ticket buys you five trips to happy hair land. ph 09 378 9799.

Happy Valentine's Day!
