4. Dorothy Perkins Pink Shift Dress
A woman definitely appreciates it when her man goes through the trouble of shopping for her, since we all know what an ordeal it is for them.

We think this pretty blush pink dress is the perfect choice for a fabulous date night.

5. A Couples Massage
Who doesn’t love a bit of pampering? Being whisked away for a serene spa day and settling in for a rejuvenating massage with your other half beside you sounds like a day that is as close to perfect as you can get. We suggest trying the couples massage at the spa at JW Marriot in Mumbai and at The Leela Kempinski in Delhi.
