Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and you probably want it to be as romantic as possible. Lack of interesting ideas to celebrate the day you can try this year? Don’t worry, we have prepared a list of simple but very exciting activities that will make your holiday unforgettable.
1. Recreate your first date
To refresh old feelings, they need to be brought back into your head and heart and remind how you first fell in love with each other. There’s no more awkwardness in your relationship, so your new “first date” will be a fun and incredibly romantic way to spend time together. Resume playback where you first met or had dinner together and finish the holiday evening where you first kissed or confessed your feelings to each other. Re-creating the first date is a chance to surprise your soulmate and fall in love again. Don’t waste it.
2. Have breakfast in the bed
On this special day, treat your loved one to a delicious breakfast in bed. This can be a fresh fruit salad with maple syrup, pancakes with peanut butter, chocolate crepes, cinnamon buns, banana smoothie, cheesy french toasts, croissants, or even simple sausages with eggs. If you aren’t in the mood to cook, remember that there’s nothing wrong with ordering takeout from one of your favorite cafes near you. And don’t forget the champagne! For those looking to simplify their meal prep not just on V-Day but every day, HelloFresh offers great meal options including delicious family dinners that takes out the hassle while adding fun, variety, and quality ingredients to your dining experiences.
3. Dance through a music playlist of your songs
There’s nothing that brings two people together better than music. Take care of your Valentine’s Day playlist to set the mood this holiday. Choose songs that spark memories of your relationship (your first dance together, your wedding songs, etc.) or simply the ones you know your soulmate will love.
4. Get a couples massage
Relaxing and having a great time with your couple is the #1 task for Valentine’s Day to celebrate your love. Go for a good massage together and learn a few techniques from professionals to try them at home along relaxing music. To relax to the fullest, put aside all gadgets and devote time to yourself, completely disconnecting from the outside world. You can book a room in a hotel with a spa program. Go to the pool, get a massage, and then order a fancy dinner that can turn into a romantic night.
5. Write a love letter
Most likely, you send your soulmate messages several times a day. But on Valentine’s Day, they should be special. If you have to spend the whole day (or at least part of the day) apart, be sure to send your soulmate the most romantic or playful message – or even both at once.
Write a love letter and put it in a briefcase, bag, wallet, or pocket of your sweetheart. It is better that your loved one sees the love note already when they leave the house.
If you lack ideas about what to do or write to make your partner feel overwhelmed, you can ask AI for suggestions. Simply input your thoughts privately and specify what you want to know. It will provide ideas or even answers to help you create a romantic and affectionate letter for Valentine’s Day.
6. Game night: play favorite board games adding some love elements
How about such activities like some fun games for just the two of you? For example, you can try “How much we know about each other.” Prepare some questions about you and your relationship. Then answer those questions in pen. Following that, you must examine each other’s cards. Or maybe you and your companion will want to feed each other by not using your hands. Sounds interesting, isn’t it?
7. Take a scenic trip together
If travel is your common passion, then going on a trip is the best way to make Valentine’s day so special and escape from a city bustle. You can discuss the plans with your significant other in advance, but it’s better to make a surprise.
Secretly buy tickets, book a hotel, quietly pack for two, come up with a story (such as that you urgently need to go to the shop together), and then confess that the store is in another city or country.
It’s not necessary to fly to far-away countries and spend a lot of money. An unexpected trip to a scenic hike or neighboring city can become one of the most memorable moments in your life as a couple.

Joint ice skating to romantic music – what could be more appropriate during the winter holiday for sweethearts? Firstly, it’s good for those having a sedentary lifestyle.

A lot of supermarkets and restaurants offer Valentine’s food deals so that you can enjoy the comfort of your own home with your valentine or galentine.

You’ll enjoy a romantic sunset cruise on a yacht or a traditional Maldivian boat, where the butler will offer champagne and snacks. After dinner, the yacht’s crew will serve drinks and leave the couple alone by the fire in a romantic and starlit setting.
