VValentine's Day is a favorite and awaited day for some, an overly commercialized holiday for others. On that day, you don't necessarily have to shower your loved one with red hearts and gifts. It's a day when you can relax together, spend time with each other and enjoy being a couple. Valentine's Day can be a little reminder to stop and show your significant other by doing something fun together. After all, experiences together not only cause good emotions, but also strengthen relationships. Leisure Gifts presents 7 easy-to-implement and inexpensive Valentine's Day date ideas.
1. Breakfast in bed.
The start of the day also affects the mood of the whole day. And after a delicious meal, we often feel better than before. Here is a "two in one" offer for you: prepare a delicious breakfast for your significant other, which will be a guarantee of good emotions for the whole day. Choose your loved one's favorite dish for breakfast, make them happy with coffee or tea you haven't tasted yet, think about a casual presentation. You say banal? Then adapt the presentation of breakfast according to the taste of your loved one: maybe it's preparing coffee in a thermos to take to work on Valentine's Day morning or secretly putting your favorite snacks in a handbag or jacket pocket.
2. Lunch break surprise.
Although this year Valentine's Day will not be celebrated on the weekend, but on Thursday, this should not be a reason to leave all the surprises only for the evening. Idea for Valentine's Day: pay a surprise visit to your sweetheart at work during your lunch break. Don't forget a brightly colored bouquet for your girlfriend/wife or favorite treats for your husband/boyfriend. If you can't get away from work, you can order a bouquet of flowers or food for lunch. Another option is a sweet call or text saying how much you appreciate your significant other.
3. Extraordinary dinner.
What is a day without a romantic dinner? However, it will take more than just reserving a table to make it unique in a restaurant. Some ideas for an extraordinary Valentine's Day dinner:
- Consider the location. Go somewhere you haven't been before - maybe it's a TV tower with a wonderful panorama or a new cozy restaurant? If you want to spend the evening at home, prepare the environment: hang lamps, light candles. Maybe have a little picnic at home and get cozy on the ground.
- Think about the menu. If you want something new, choose untried cuisines, for example, maybe you have never eaten mussels together? You can also try new flavors when cooking at home. If you don't want to risk it, choose a favorite and well-known dish recipe that you cook together - after all, it's another Valentine's Day experience.
- New experiences, such as trying chocolate or cheese fondue, will give an extraordinary dinner an impression. You can easily prepare it at home or enjoy it professionally prepared in a cozy restaurant.
4. Relaxing entertainment.
It is often forgotten during worries and daily tasks that both the body and the soul need rest. Suggestion: Use Valentine's Day as a break from the rest of the world with your partner. Whether it's cozy conversations with a relaxing cup of tea at home or a professional body massage, let yourself and your significant other relax on Valentine's Day. And for a good back or foot massage, you don't need much - use an essential oil of your favorite scent. It doesn't matter that you are not a massage specialist, the most important thing is to give your loved one good emotions, and the attention shown in this way will become a guarantee of rapprochement.
5. Spending time in the fresh air.
Just because Valentine's Day is in winter doesn't mean you have to stay indoors to celebrate Valentine's Day. A thermos of hot tea, some snacks and go for a walk in the forest. You will breathe fresh air and enjoy moments just for the two of you.
Another outdoor activity that reminds a bit of summer nights is stargazing. In winter, we raise our eyes to the sky less often, but this does not mean that you will not see the stars in the cold season. After lying on the snow for a few minutes, you will be able to see an extraordinary sight in the sky. And if you have more time, you can travel to the Molėtai observatory, where you can see the stars even brighter through a telescope.
6. Weekend trip.
It is not at all necessary to look for tickets to Paris, known as the city of love, because there are places to travel in Lithuania as well. And the most important thing is that you will leave together with your loved one, change the environment and simply enjoy the moments together. Think about where you could go for Valentine's Day weekend: maybe it's your garden cabin or a farmhouse in the woods, where you could spend a few cozy days. If you want more entertainment, relaxing rest with spa treatments, choose Druskininki, Birštonas, Anykščias or the seaside, where you will find both quiet rest and active entertainment.
7. Fulfillment of a dream.
You know that the other half has a certain dream? Idea for Valentine's Day Activities: Try it. Maybe it's an interesting or extreme pastime, a trip to your favorite country, or even simpler - a desire to taste special exotic food? And if you don't know exactly what your loved one wants at the moment, make a "gift voucher" that your significant other can use at any time to choose what they want most. It is important that you join in the realization of the dream, because the experience will be both a memory and a strengthening of the relationship.
The most important thing is the time spent together, experiences, so you don't need to have a million to spend Valentine's Day meaningfully. Original solutions are often born with the use of simple tools.
