Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, which means you’re probably thinking up ideas for the special someone in your life. It’s not necessarily easy to figure out what to do, but thankfully, love is in the details – it doesn’t always take loud, over-the-top gestures to express your love. So if you’re looking for things to do for your loved one, here are some cute ideas:
1. Write a note
Notes and letters sound cliché on the surface, but in this day and age when handwritten letters have become a rarity, writing out a note for someone you care about is a special keepsake that’ll definitely bring a smile to your partner’s face.
2. Cook together
Cooking for someone is always a good idea – who doesn’t love food?! – but planning a cooking date with a person can make things extra fun. Get all the ingredients ready and spend an hour or so in the kitchen making an old favourite or something completely new. It’ll make sitting down for dinner a whole lot nicer.
3. Send a random text
You know what people don’t do enough of these days? Send random “I’m thinking about you” texts. Just letting someone know you love them, miss them or are thinking about them will make them smile – and it’s such an easy thing to do.
4. Gift a Platinum love band
Nothing defines an everlasting bond between two people like eternal platinum. Get Platinum love bands that are designed to complement each other, just the way you and your partner do. Naturally white and extremely durable, Platinum is a metal that never fades, just like the endless love you share with your partner. Check out some elegantly designed Platinum love bands here.
5. Bake
Cookies, cake, muffins, whatever – baked goods always make people happy, and it’s even better when the goodies are homemade! Even if they’re not, simply buying something sweet and putting it in your own cute packing – like these muffins with the “you are my stud muffin” tag – is a great mini-gift.
6. Print out a funny Valentine
Is your partner a big Harry Potter fan? Or Star Wars? Star Trek? Batman? Whatever it is, you’re sure to find a relevant Valentine card online. Just search for one corresponding to your partner’s interest and watch them laugh when they see it.
7. Spend the day watching old romantic movies
Watching romantic movies is a sort of Valentine’s Day ritual, but change it up a little this year by deciding to watch only movies – black-and-white ones, perhaps. It’s romantic, and it’ll be a great way to see how romance was done in the good ol’ days.
What do you have planned this Valentine’s Day?
