We’re guessing you’ve seen the movie, ‘Dirty Dancing’ (if you haven’t, do go and watch it NOW!!!). In the movie, Baby and Johnny’s relationship goes to a whole new level during the course of their dance sessions. There is something about doing things together (other than the obvious, of course) that brings a couple closer, and makes them feel more like a team. This is one of the reasons that experiences are becoming increasingly popular as Valentine’s Day gifts. So take a break from buying more and more ‘stuff,’ and gift your partner and yourself some beautiful memories to cherish forever!

If you’re wondering where in the world you’ll find amazing Valentine’s Day experiences, don’t fret; we have a list of 10 Indian websites where you can shop for your choice of a Valentine gift experience.

The name itself seems perfect to order Valentine’s Day gifts from, doesn’t it? And you won’t be disappointed!! The site is very user-friendly and you can select your filters in a single step. We looked at options in Mumbai and loved the Dine on a Yacht experience, that’s so much more than your average restaurant dinner! You get a special yacht romantically decorated with flowers and the sailing session is accompanied by dinner, cake, and a bouquet of flowers. Talk sweet nothings against the backdrop of the moving waters!

Cycle through vegetable gardens, grape orchards, paddy fields, and a few hills, and finish with a grand lunch at the Taj Hotel.
