Are you someone who loves to surprise your boyfriend but are out of ideas? We have the perfect idea if you are looking for a unique present for your bae! Why not try surprising your boyfriend with an unforgettable overseas trip? ?

Wait! Don't close the article now! An overseas trip for two may be a hassle and also very expensive ? But we have some tips for you to carry this out so you won't break the bank with this gift. (Pssst, read on to the end for some treats!)

Scroll on to find out how you give your boyfriend the gift of a lifetime!

Before you start spiralling with all the things you have to handle and how much you are going to spend, we have broken down the most important components of a holiday into six parts - accommodation, internet, transport, insurance, money exchange & itinerary. Follow our tips and you can ace this whole overseas trip planning thing!

#1 Accommodation

A good night's sleep is vital for every trip as you want to have ample energy for a whole day out. Book a hotel with ChangiHotels for competitive rates at more than 300,000 properties and 5,000 destinations. ChangiHotels offers up to 60% discount for hotel bookings and are comparable to member rates. Paying less for the same service? Yes, please!

#2 Internet/Communication

If there is one thing people can't live without today, it would have to be the internet. Stay connected 24/7 with Singapore's leading wifi router provider ChangiWifi, which will give you unlimited wifi for $5/day and more before promotions (which are available All. The. Time.) If you prefer to make local phone calls, get your SIM Cards from Changi Recommends so you can start using your phone the minute you touch down!

#3 Transport

Settle all your transport needs - air tickets, airport transfer and overseas transport - all on one platform. Trust us, it is so much easier when you plan everything in advance (and also so much cheaper when you pay in advance). Wow your boyfriend with the Airport Transfer and Meet-and-Greet Services where you can travel in style and with ease upon landing. Prep your travelling needs by booking Overseas Transport in advance as well!

#4 Insurance

You may think that insurance is unnecessary but it is actually one of the most important thing on any trip! If you have sudden illness and lost luggages (touch wood!), you can still show your boyfriend how you are all prepared by purchasing your insurance from HyfeAssure where you can get instant claims of up to $200 at all Changi Recommends counters the minute you touch down.

#5 Money Exchange

One of the most tiring things about prepping before a trip is having to compare exchange rates then dragging yourself to a money changer to exchange money for your trip. Do away with all that hassle with the online Foreign Exchange Order by GCC Exchange (legit money changer) where you can make an online payment of at least SGD 300 and get your foreign currencies delivered to your doorstep. Easy or what?

#6 Itinerary

At a loss as to where to go and what to do? Fret not because Changi Recommends has an array of attractions and tourist destinations at discounted rates for you to pick from. Show your boyfriend you care about him by bringing him to the places he has always wanted to visit and he will look at you in a new light!

Did you know you can settle all these travel nitty-gritties on just one platform? Changi Recommends offers curated services for all your travelling needs. Their one-stop service means that you can breeze through all these processes at a good rate to give your boyfriend a surprise!
