Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning. You might prefer a traditional evening with a romantic meal followed by the cinema. Or perhaps you’re looking for something a bit different, like a mini-golf bar. Valentine’s Day is about spending some quality time with your loved one – whether that’s a partner or best friend. After all, Galantine’s Day is just as exciting.
Celebrate this Valentine’s Day in style and try out one of these activities.
Play a board game
When you think of a romantic evening, board games might not immediately come to mind. However, board games can actually be a great way to spend time together without blowing through your entire budget. Keep it simple this year, and have a little games night together. You could play monopoly, backgammon or dominoes over a bottle of wine. Light some candles around the house and turn down the lights. Game night can be sexy too.
Take a mixology class
Mix it up, and learn to make your own cocktails on Valentine’s Day. There are plenty of bars that hold mixology masterclasses for couples and groups. You can learn to make your favourite cocktail and have fun mixing up your concoctions. Besides, you get to drink them all at the end of your session as well. Result!
Go on a romantic getaway
A surprise night away is the ultimate Valentine’s treat. Pack your silky nightdress and prepare for an evening of fun and relaxation. You could order room service and watch Netflix in bed together. Or, you could go out for dinner and a few drinks to celebrate the special day. A romantic getaway can be anything you want it to be. Some people prefer a city break with exciting activities while others like a spa day.
Make a scrapbook
Valentine’s Day is the perfect chance to reflect on your relationship so far. Print out your favourite photos together and stick them into a scrapbook. You can embellish with buttons, glitter and metallic pens with cute notes around each picture. You might have a special memory relating to the picture or an inside joke. You can add to the scrapbook over the next year and reflect on your memories again next year.
Bake something sweet
Everyone loves sweet treats. Snack on the sweet treats through Valentine’s weekend and indulge in a little luxury. Bake your partner a basket of cookies, brownies and biscuits for their Valentine’s present. You could finish the basket with a few ribbons and a Valentine’s card.
You don’t have to celebrate Valentine’s Day with dinner and drinks. You could stay home and have a movie marathon instead. It’s all about finding what works for you as a couple.
