The only 3 apps you need this Valentine's Day
There can be a lot of pressure that comes with Valentine's Day. It's supposed to be the most romantic day of the year, after all.
If you’re feeling lost, look no further – it’s time to let technology be your wingman.
We have the perfect apps for you to kick off your evening, and then keep the fun going all night. As long as you begin the right way, everything else will fall into place and you can focus on spending valuable time with your Valentine.
1. 1-800-Flowers.com
Make sure you start the night off right by giving your partner the perfect bouquet.
It's not Valentine's Day without flowers, so take advantage of the 1-800-Flowers app, which allows you to browse nearly limitless arrangements and order them easily. This app will make that essential part of your celebration as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
The app, like the site, offers a quick delivery service along with a streamlined checkout process. For the tech-savvy shoppers, you can send orders to contacts in your address book, use mobile payments/wallets and stay logged in to make future orders even faster and more effortless.
1-800-Flowers also works with Amazon Alexa. So if you're the proud owner of an Echo Dot or other compatible device, all you have to do is say, "Alexa, order a dozen red roses from 1-800-Flowers," and they'll be on their way in no time.
The app interface is designed to be intuitive, so it's easy to view your orders and even set reminders for yourself. It also has messaging and a newsfeed that keeps users in the know about any special offers or events.
It doesn't just offer flowers, though. If your partner would also like some chocolates or an adorable stuffed bear, 1-800-Flowers has you covered there, too.
There’s also a rewards program, so take full advantage and surprise your partner throughout the rest of the year – just to show them you care.
You can find it in the App Store or on Google Play.
2. Live Nation
There are few dates more memorable or romantic than going to concerts, and this app makes it much easier to make that happen.
Live Nation offers app users pre-sales that they can access without a password, so you won't have to worry about your favorite artist's show selling out. It also gives you alerts when concert dates are announced, so you'll always be in the know.
If you want to add dinner to your show, the app allows you to order food from your seat. Your meal will then either be delivered to you, or it'll be waiting at the counter with express pick-up.
You'll also never forget your tickets at home, because they'll be available right on the app.
3. Drizly
The best possible end to a romantic evening is sitting down with the perfect glass of wine – or whatever spirit floats your boat.
You don't have to make a stop at your local liquor store to indulge in this nightcap, though. With Drizly, you can browse through local shelves and place an order for whatever suits your mood.
And there are never any markups with this app – you're getting the same prices you would in the physical store.
You can order ahead of time and schedule your delivery for a certain moment, or you can wait until the mood is right. Either way, they offer hassle-free, quick delivery right to your door.
Remember that it's all about how your start your night, and that the flowers can set the mood. But as long as you keep these three apps in your back pocket, your Valentine's Day will be one to remember.
