Career, children, renovating the house, dentist appointments. It can be hard to find the time for romance, but come Valentine's Day, there should be no excuses. If you're organised, you can plan something special for you and your loved one, and put a little more spark in to your relationship.

Now, you don't have to be married, you don't even have to be in a relationship. Maybe you might like to take out that girl down the road, or the guy that does your plumbing. Whoever it may be, you'll want to have a plan. So I'm here to give you a few tips on what is going on around Perth, so you can make February 14 a little bit special.

I remember the very first Valentine's Day with my partner. Being from New Zealand, he's a big Rugby fan, so I booked us special tickets to a game in a box with drinks and nibbles. Alright, so that may not have been a romantic candlelit dinner, but I knew it was something he would like, and it made me happy just to be there with him. We made a great memory that day by sharing an interest, and this is what you need to think about.

What is it that your partner likes? Do they like sports, the theatre, or maybe they enjoy seeing live music? Google is a fantastic tool, all you need to do is suss out what is going on around Feb 14, and organise a date for just the two of you to head out and enjoy yourselves.

If Google is not your friend, I've done some of the work for you.

The Music Lover

So Valentine's Day is a Tuesday this year. But you can still celebrate a little earlier, just as long as you dedicate one special day together.

On Friday Feb 10, one of my favourite live acts heads to one of my favourite live venues. The Cat Empire at Fremantle Arts Centre.

Tickets are $61, available from Heatseeker here.

The Theatre Goer

If you think she's got to be seeing things to be dating you, then why not take her to a pro? Illusionist I mean. Adam and Selina bring their captivating illusions show back to Australia after sharing their magic in places like Europe and Vegas. They'll be performing at The Regal Theatre on Saturday Feb 11, and tickets range from $60 to $199. They're available through Ticketek here .
