    Well, it would still work! it's still romantic.
    But thank you for exposing my preconceptions. I was wrong to jump to the "obvious" assumption.

    Well I think a sushi restaurant on NYE will be expensive so my midnight gift would be the booking confirmation of the table you have booked for later in the week. Don't try too hard, things can have a habit of falling short when you imagine how special they will be.

    This probably is not particularly romantic but last year my husband (he was my fianc! then) had our first NYE at home alone. We had previously done a house party, Edinburgh and London. Last year we fancied a quiet one with just us. Well, we got in lots of really nice 'party food' (think Waitrose best not Iceland!) and our favourite tipples (including plenty of champagne), had the fire lit and the fairy lights and lots of candles, and had a really lovely evening. We picked and nibbled at things as we fancied them, and I think maybe watched some TV or a couple of movies, chatted, listened to music, played some games. It felt so nice.

    We are planning to do the same this year but we are fully prepared for it not to be as good as it won't be novel anymore. Still, it felt really lovely last year.
  • for the present it could be your hopes and dreams for you as a couple over the next year or a relationship kind of bucket list eg i will tell you i love you every day. we will have a moonlit picnic etc dont make it about one moment make it about the entirety of your relationship

    or failing that propose


    Loving the bucket list idea, thank you :)

    Keep it traditional and romantic. Get a lump of coal, and at midnight go through the backdoor.

    NYE is so over-rated. Packed pubs, over-priced dinners, can't get a cab for love nor money, some arseholed stranger puking in your front garden on the way home from the boozer, fireworks scaring half the neighbourhood pets blasting off at stupid o'clock, 18 year olds getting engaged because it's 'dead romantic'. The whole thing makes me shudder.
