Happy February! With Valentine’s Day mid-month everyone at A1 Clutches hopes that you are in the mood for love. Here are some fun tips and ideas to ensure a great way to spend spare time in February, out and about in your car, with your loved ones.
Fancy a road trip?
Be spontaneous and head off for a drive with your loved ones where you know there will be a wonderful sunset or sunrise or take in a great view. Before you leave give your vehicle a thorough clean. Include both the interior and exterior and show your car some love too.
A. The Greetings Cards Association estimates that one billion cards are sent each year.
People watch.
If you lead a busy life why not stop for a while and drive to a spot that is sure to find interesting characters. People watch – its free! And while you relax check out the interior of your vehicle, get rid of any junk and get organised. Use containers to organise loose objects and keep things clutter-free.
Q. How much do Brits spend on Valentine cards and gifts?
A. An estimated £1.5 billion! Romance doesn’t come cheap…
Go to a drive-in movie.
In the UK many towns offer a drive-in movie. Snuggle close and watch a movie from the comfort of your vehicle. Enhance your comfort by adding co-ordinating seat covers and floor mats in a unique design. Treat your loved one to a portable car vacuum to pick up all that popcorn and keep your vehicle fresh and clean.
Give a gift.
Flowers such as roses and chocolates are the most popular gifts on Valentine’s Day but you could include a gift for your loved one’s car. Treat them to a gift voucher for a valet service, or upgrade the speakers for more enjoyable sound. If they don’t have a garage a car cover will protect their vehicle from the elements.
Did you know that there is a significant increase in the sales of
pregnancy tests in the month of March?
Pack up and head off for a picnic.
Treat yourself to a hamper and fill it with your favourite foods then drive to a scenic area and enjoy the company of your loved ones. It might be a breakfast date at the seaside or an evening drive to watch a sunset.

Everything has to be perfect on Valentine’s Day
Got a date? You know that what you wear matters, as does the setting and the gift. But don’t overlook the fact that your vehicle says a lot about you and needs to be looking its best too. Finish a clean with a polish and wax and really shine on the day.
