5 things to consider doing this Valentine’s Day
Love is in the air, figuratively speaking! And what better time to celebrate the ones who bring you love in your life than this period? Whether with your partner or solo or with your girlfriends, we have ideas on how you can mix things up this Valentine’s Day and make this day memorable!
Valentine’s Ideas for Your Better Half
Make a playlist for them
Does your partner love music? How about compiling a music playlist for them? You can choose songs that spark memories of your relationship and milestones or better yet, pick songs you think they might enjoy!
Date Night
Going out on a date is a common activity couples do on Valentine’s Day but, you can make things exciting by recreating your first date. Take it back to the night where it all began. It is a special, heart-warming gesture that might rekindle and make your relationship stronger.
Other date ideas you can have with your partner can be going to the movies, karaoke night, rock climbing, going for a drive-in, or looking for fun events for couples in your town. We guarantee it will be super fun! It could be a wine & chocolate tasting event, pottery class, sip & paint or a couples massage.
Indoor Date Ideas
Indoor dates are romantic, intimate and private, you have the room to yourself and are free to choose whichever activities your partner & you enjoy. A special home made meal done together is more special and better than going out to restaurants which are usually super busy, and crowded. We have an offer on Picanha steak from Well Hung Butcher that is perfect for Valentine’s dinner! Pair it up with a bottle of your favorite wine and you are good to go! Don’t forget to get candles for that warm romantic ambience and some flowers to set the table. Don’t sweat about dessert either because we’ve got you covered! We have lots of ready-to-eat dessert options from The Food Fairy & The Fat Italian for you to enjoy!
If you have the whole day to yourselves, how about a spa day-in? Grab a few facial masks and diy ingredients to make face & body scrub to use at home here! Once done with dinner, you can follow that up with a movie marathon or even writing love letters to each other! When was the last time you wrote or received a love letter?
Valentine’s Day with Friends
Spending Valentine’s day with friends? Turn it into a galentine/malentine – if something like that exists 🙂 So what do people do on a friends-valentine? It could be anything from signing up to interesting classes together, learning new things, having paintball competitions, movie marathons or hikes, dinner dates(try that new restaurant you’ve been dying to try) or spa days, going for a trip away from your home or having a game night.
Solo Valentine’s Ideas
Riding solo this Valentine’s? How about switching things up and hosting a single’s Valentine’s dinner party instead? Call us, we’ll be the first to RSVP! It’s a great way to meet new people and make more friends! Pair that with card games or board games to make the night more interesting.
But, if you’d rather be alone this Valentine’s no fuss, treat yourself, you deserve it. How about a staycation in your city or catching up on a series you’ve been wanting to watch. It’s is okay to splurge once in a while. Go to a spa, get a mani or pedi, get a haircut, or a solo massage. You can never run out of ideas on how to enjoy Valentine’s Day solo.
