In this age of consumerism, surely nothing says love more than matching hand-knitted woollen vests.
Make a public statement of your love this year by crafting his n’ her outfits from Women’s Weekly Family Knits (1971).
Can’t knit? Not a problem.
How about preparing a romantic meal for two from Women’s Weekly’s Cooking for Couples (1982).
Perhaps you could start the meal with an avocado entree garnished with capsicum and black olives.
Try a trout main, featured alluringly alongside a fern in a wicker basket in an early 80s example of food styling.
Finish your romantic tête-à-tête with a refreshing icy mint dessert. Don’t forget to add that essential ingredient, green food colouring.
Wishing you a happy Valentine’s Day this weekend, however you choose to celebrate it.
