It’s the perfect time of the year to celebrate your significant other and their meaningful impact on your life. And with October around the corner, we figured it’s the ideal time to recommend a romantic mini break for two.

Plus, all six of our October issue’s featured travel spots (currently on shelves) have offered woman&home readers a fantastic deal exclusive to the woman&home community.
