When it comes to romance, experiences will always trump stuff. Therefor, a pair of tickets to a future show at your local outdoor Shakespeare Festival, will be a much better gift than a pile of roses or some uncomfortable Bra she won’t want to wear.
It shows that you want to spend time with her. Do stuff that’s a little more refined. But also not boring. Most outdoor Shakespeare Festivals let you bring in a picnic dinner, your own beer or wine (or both) and the actors are always top notch. Also, don’t be scared off by the “Shakespeare” in Shakespeare Festivals. They do more than just Shakespeare. So if you don’t want to struggle through the old English dialogue you’re sure to be able to find something a little more palatable.
Like: “Batboy… the Musical!”
Awesome. Anyway, package up that pair of tickets, (or for you big spenders, season tickets) with a bottle of wine to enjoy now, and a bottle of wine to enjoy under the stars. Get one bottle that’s a familiar favorite, and another that’s something you two have never tried before. We’re big fans of Lone Madrone out of Paso Robles CA.
She’ll love it now, and also months down the road when you two actually head to the show.
