Valentine’s Day is a special holiday to celebrate love and appreciation. If you’re staying home and trying to find creative ways to make the most of the day, then have no fear! Here are some fun activities you can do to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home:
Cook a themed dinner
Cooking a themed dinner is always fun. It can be anything from Italian cuisine to Mexican food — whatever makes your heart happy. If cooking isn’t your thing, order your takeout from your favorite restaurant. Add some extra touches such as flowers or candles for ambiance and mood lighting.
Stream a movie marathon
Spend your night cuddled up on the couch for a movie marathon! Pick movies that either remind you of each other or maybe something new that you haven’t seen before. Get cozy with some blankets, pillows and have snacks and drinks ready so you don’t have to worry about getting off the couch. You can even make it an all-day event if you like.
Dance party
Nothing beats a good dance party in the living room! Choose music that speaks directly to both of your hearts and get dancing! Set up the space according to what makes you feel comfortable and then let loose. You can also add games into the mix like charades or lip sync battles – just make sure everyone has fun!
Have a game night
Spark up a little friendly competition with your partner by challenging each other to a game. You could even try mixing things up and playing something neither of you have ever tried before. Whether it’s a classic board game or a new digital option, you can have plenty of fun together and learning about the other person’s competitive spirit is always an adventure. You don’t need to win in order to celebrate the day, just make sure that you take the time to laugh, share stories and enjoy each other’s company.
Go stargazing
With the night sky filled with stars shining brightly, what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than by going stargazing together? Whether it’s a cozy evening indoors enjoying the night sky through an open window or cuddled on the balcony cuddled beneath a blanket, nothing says romance quite like sharing the beauty of the night sky with your special someone.
Exchange love letters
The classic love letter is a timeless way to express your love for your partner. All you need is pen and paper, and you can let your thoughts and feelings flow freely. In this digital age, there’s something especially special about actually writing out words of affection and placing them in an envelope addressed just to your sweetheart adds an extra layer of personalization.
Have a spa night
Indulge in some pampering at home! Prepare some DIY face masks and run a luxurious bubble bath to create the ultimate relaxed setting. You can also light some candles, play some soothing music, and prepare some delicious snacks. This is sure to make for an eclectic yet relaxing Valentine’s Day at home with your partner.
