Ah, the feeling of love! Like freshly brewed coffee on a Sunday morning.
As Valentine's Day approaches, the desire to create unforgettable moments with your partner intensifies. In the realm of romance, there's so much you can do. From surprising your partner with a romantic dinner for two at that new fancy restaurant to taking them on their next holiday adventure of getting them a new piece of jewellery, the ideas are aplenty. But more often than not, it’s the simple things make the Day so memorable.
And who said Valentine's Day needs to be limited to romantic love? It could also be a great day to spend with your parents, grandparents or friends.
So, if you're thinking of a loved one while reading a blog but unsure how to spoil them this Valentine's Day, we've got you covered.
Give them a handwritten note
Handwritten notes and letters have stood the test of time. For centuries, written words have evoked a sense of love and care.
In this era of smartphones and emoji’s, handwritten notes are treasured because they are so rare. So, here's an opportunity for you to leave an impression.
Write a note describing everything you enjoy about the person, thanking them for all the times they have stood by you, and expressing everything that makes you happy. You can also include emoji’s and tiny illustrations to make it more memorable.
Remember that while thanking them, it helps to be specific about one or two instances rather than making it generic. Trust us: no matter how you think you sound, they will adore and treasure it
Attend a class together
You can also spend Valentine's Day with a loved one, learning a new skill. There are classes for everyone's interests, including cooking, baking, massage, painting, art, dance, mixology, and many more. As a further advantage, if you both love the class, consider making it a regular activity.
Plan a romantic dinner at home
Sometimes it is tough to take out time for Valentine's Day, especially if it falls on a hectic and stressful workday. In this case, having an old-fashioned romantic dinner at home is a great way to surprise the one you love. To set the mood, you can prepare their favourite dish and set a dinner table with candles and flowers.
Plan a fun scavenger hunt
For Valentine's Day, you could embrace the spirit of adventure and love by planning a scavenger hunt that traverses the realms of nostalgia and new beginnings.
You could start by mapping significant places in your relationship's history - the spot of your first date, the park where you shared laughter, or the cafe where your eyes first met. Craft clever clues that lead your partner from one location to the next, prompting fond memories at every stop.
You could also include mementoes like love notes, pictures and flowers to make the hunt even more special. This heartfelt scavenger hunt promises to celebrate your shared history and an enchanting precursor to the future.
Arrange a professional photo shoot
You can also take your love story to the next level by planning a photoshoot against the backdrop of nature. Imagine walking hand in hand through a secluded forest or enjoying the warmth of the golden hour on a peaceful beach.
You can get a professional photographer to capture the stolen glances gently, shared laughs, and real moments that define your relationship. With scenic beauty as your canvas, use the lens to capture the essence of your love. These photographs serve not just as a testament to your love but as a celebration of your unique love story in the presence of nature.
Direct your own love story
Okay, we admit this takes some work, but you'll be glad you did it. Find some videos of your partner - with social media, this should be a breeze. You can merge them with their favourite songs to create a video. You can even make a cameo appearance and explain why they are amazing. Try to make it as entertaining as possible.
If you cannot do it yourself, several online and offline services are available to help you. If you can get their friends and relatives to come out and speak, it will be even better.
And the best part about a video is that it will be there forever. Remember, if done correctly, this might become viral on social media. By the end of Valentine's Day, you and the person you love may be the talk of the town for the right reasons.
Take a walk down memory lane
Valentine's Day may be the best time to walk down memory lane and revisit the chapters of your love story by going to the places where it all unfolded.
You could take your partner to the location of your first date, where the memories of those initial sparks still linger. Each location holds the whispers of shared laughter and stolen glances.
To make the occasion even better, you can surprise your partner with a bouquet of roses, each petal echoing the sentiments of your enduring love. This nostalgic escapade promises to be a heartfelt celebration of your unique journey.
