While many of you by now would have made necessary arrangements to woo your Valentine on February 14, there are always some who remained engaged with other tasks at hand, that the thought of that wouldn't even dawn upon them till the day dawns.
But it isn't too late yet. Here are a few last-minute ideas powered by technology that can help salvage the day of love for you.
1. Adventurous date for free
This V-Day, ditch the flowers and celebrate the occasion with an adventurous tryst. Ola is bringing couples in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune, free access to adventure activities on February 14. With activities that range from paragliding, surfing, zipping underwater hockey, paramotoring to kayaking, each city will have a unique adventure activity that will show up under the VDAY category on the Ola app.
Customers who wish to go on an adventurous date with their partner can make a request, just like they would book a cab. Once the request goes through, an Ola cab will arrive at the customer's location and take them to the destination.
2. Bake Date
With online services marketplaces like UrbanClap and LocalOye available, planning an evening for your special someone becomes a cakewalk. For instance, you can opt for LocalOye's Bake Date that will let you spend quality time with your partner by learning and baking a cake together at a time convenient to you, at a baking studio near you. All ingredients, recipes and instructions will be provided by the baking instructor.

Alternatively, you can opt for a mix of services available on these sites to make your Valentine feel special. For instance, with the help of these services, you, in a few clicks, can get your house decorated in line with the theme, have a chef at your home to prepare food of your choice, and invite live musician(s) to perform songs of your choice.
3. Video cards for your loved ones
With a few clicks and taps, you can easily create video cards for your Valentine. Skype has added a new feature that lets you create video messages for people you love and share them, easily. All the user has to do is simply record a message and add animated floating heart filters on top. On iPhones and iPads, open Skype and tap on the heart to get started. On Android phones, tap the "+" button on the lower right, then select the heart. The best part about it is that your Valentine doesn't have to be a Skype user. So, you can then share those video messages over Skype, or other social networks such as Facebook, or email.
4. Buy gifts easily

Gifts are an integral part of making your loved one’s day special, but you probably have no time to place an order online or to traipse through tens of stores to find that one special gift. But with apps like Shopsity, it looks possible. Shopsity connects you to lifestyle retailers in your vicinity. Couples can see the complete catalogue of the store, what is selling nearby, including photos, sizes, and price, and then can decide which store to go for. So, you can even now choose a gift without breaking a sweat.
5. Auto-compose love letters
On the one day in a year when you are expected to wax eloquent about the ones you love - let's face it - sometimes you can be at a loss for words or you may not have enough time to actually draft something romantic. If you are also struggling with the right words for tomorrow, you can take the help of Yahoo's auto-compose love letters feature.
Users can simply click on the beating heart next to the Compose button and choose from three different kinds of notes - Crazy Love, Friendly Love and Out of Love. With over 100 million different messages, you are likely to find the right one for your valentine.
