Planning the Ultimate Valentine's Day Fantasy Date:
Breakfast at Tiffany's, a true classic in every sense of the word, makes my VERY short list of must-see romantic movies. Pair this film with a romantic Breakfast in Bed, and you've got the perfect Valentine's Day Fantasy Breakfast Romantic Movie Date! Here's your step-by-step guide on how to pull it off: First,
get the movie on video or DVD. I'm not one to always say buy the
DVD rather than rent, but I guarantee this is a film you will want
to see time and time again, so in this case, I say BUY it. This
is a MUST see not just for hopeless romantics, but for anyone who
likes movies and wants to see an example of what happens when near
perfect story & screenplay structure unite with incredible
acting, directing & editing! It's
truly a masterpiece of American cinema, and well worth paying for
to have as part of your video/DVD library.
Second, decorate your environment with items relating to the movie and to romance, choosing from the ideas we have featured here, adding in some fresh flowers or candles, or coming up with your own romantic ideas that go along with the theme. Get the Breakfast At Tiffany's: Music From The Motion Picture Score [SOUNDTRACK] by Henry Mancini because you can't have a Breakfast at Tiffany's Date without a little "Moon River". "Moon River" by Henry Mancini is also available for download as an Itunes single, as well as several other versions of the song (if you're not a purist) by other artists including Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, The Charlie Byrd Quintet, Sarah Vaughan, Louis Armstrong, Andy Williams and Barbra Streisand, among others. "I don't think I've ever drunk champagne before breakfast before. with breakfast on several occasions. But never before before." -Paul Varjak
Third, plan a Valentine Breakfast Menu using the recipes guides on this page or the cookbooks we have linked in our Valentine Cookbook section. To find cooking & baking pans, cookie cutters & utensils that set the mood for love, visit Romantic Kitchen: Tools of the Trade. If you can't cook or want an easier time of it, you can just order one of the Breakfast in Bed gift sets we have featured here to help you create a lovely breakfast.
Fourth, pick out a special gift to add the final romantic flourish to this fantasy date . Here are some Valentine Romantic Gift Ideas (some expensive, some relatively cheap) that fit the Breakfast at Tiffany's Theme! Holly
Golightly: I don't want to own anything until I find a place
where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I
know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's. Cracker Jack Ring Totally
a thing to get if
you can find one!! In the
movie, Paul & Holly shop for a present on a $10 budget and pass
up a sterling silver telephone dialer so they can have a Crackerjack
ring engraved at Tiffany's. Hard to find these days, but a cheap
purchase if you get lucky to spot one. Your best bet is to look
on ebay.com
