There can be a lot of expectation and pressure around Valentine’s Day but planning the perfect date doesn’t have to be stressful. But don’t panic! You’re just days away…I know. But just remember it’s the thought that counts. You ARE thinking, right? Here are a few fun ways to help you on the road to romance this weekend…
FOR THE SILLY IN LOVE:
UrbanDaddy App
LaDiDa App (Universal -$2.99)
Woo your sweetie with a song! LaDiDa is a reverse karaoke app that uses artificial intelligence to help you sound like a professional singer. Sing or rap into your iPhone, and LaDiDa will analyze your voice and compose music to match.
URBAN DADDY App (Universal – Free)
This app will help you create a fun-filled night. Just select what you want to do (try “I’m Game for Anything”) and who you’re with, and Urban Daddy will give you a handpicked list of the nearest spots that fit the bill, complete with venue descriptions, photos and GPS-powered directions to get you there fast.
FOR THE LAST MINUTE DINNER NIGHT OUT:
OpenTable App (Universal – Free)
Making Valentine’s Day dinner reservations last minute used to be a game of luck. OpenTable eliminates stress by letting you know what’s available at a glance.
UBER BLACK CAR & TAXI SERVICE App (Universal – Free)
Pick up your date out in style. On-demand service means no reservations required and no waiting in taxi lines.

FOR EXTRA BROWNIE POINTS (EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE LAST MINUTE):
Make it a gift your Valentine will never forget by adding a personal laser-engraved message to any iPod or iPad. It’s easy and it’s free. Give it that special touch with beautiful signature gift box and red ribbon through the Apple Online Store.
Say it with music and load their new iPod with a playlist of your favorite songs, or let your Valentine choose with an iTunes gift. If you can’t be there to see your special someone in person, see them smile when you say “I Love You” with FaceTime on iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac. http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/ipod/editorial/engraving_giftwrap
I personally love the (PRODUCT) RED line of merchandise at the Apple Store. (PRODUCT) RED has generated more than $215 million for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS in Africa. The line includes an iPod and RED accessories for iPhone and iPad.
SPA FINDER App (Universal – Free)
Spoil your special someone with a spa appointment. Locate local spas, discover special offers and book treatments.
GIFTAGRAM App (iTunes App Store – Free)
If you’re in panic mode and don’t know what to get, select the gift through the app on your phone. GIFTAGRAM will contact the gift recipient directly to confirm delivery address and that’s it. It’s easy peasy. What I love is the well thought out and “curated” gift items on their site. Big Bonus! They’ll package it up all nicely and have it delivered within a couple of business days! And don’t forget that bottle of Veuve! Delivery charges are included in the price. Toronto only.
