I'm renting out a hotel room for Valentines Day's night, and I'm thinking of ways of preparing the mood in the room beforehand to surprise my girlfriend. I have some questions regarding my ideas, and I'm also looking for any suggestions you guys may have to add.

Before I begin, there is one main limitation. I'll only have access to the room approximately 6 hours before my girlfriend will enter the room (with me), and I'll only have access to it for at most 15 minutes.

1) Rose petals on the bed/bathroom, etc.

I'm debating between fresh petals and freeze dried. I've read the thread on rose petals and I understand fresh petals will stain clothes, sheets and carpets, so that's not very good. Does anyone know if they stain by merely touching a fabric? Or does it need to be "pressed into" the fabric in order to stain? Also, will fresh petals wilt/turn color after 6 hours?

Also, how are freeze dried petals, which are supposed to not stain, but might not feel as soft, and silky? Are they any good? I've heard you can rehydrate them by putting them in a steamy bathroom for 30-60 minutes. Will that cause them to stain again? And also, will they "survive" for 6 hours?

2) Wine and/or Champagne

3) Massage oils

Last time I gave her a full-out massage, she fell asleep!! Any tips on how to keep her awake? also, she's allergic to a whole bunch of stuff. do you know if they make hypoallergenic massage oils?

4) Candle-lit bath

Rose petals in the bath a good idea?

Ok, well that's all I could think of. I'd really value any feedback to my questions, as well as other suggestions

Thanks!!
