Spotifty playlist: Let Love Bloom

Valentine's Day date ideas and gift experiences:
 

  1. A fun trip down memory lane is guaranteed to impress. Recreate your first date, walk the same streets where you first kissed, pick up takeout from your favorite restaurant, reminisce about your wedding day by looking at your album or video together — relive some of your most significant moments.
     
  2. Listen to live music. Check out your local events or if your favorite venue is currently closed, find a livestream from a favorite artist for a night of letting loose in your living room.

road trip date

  1. Road trip with your partner! Jump in the car, turn up the tunes, and head to places you’ve never been for a fun day trip. It's a great chance to talk and reconnect or get to know each other better. Or play tourist in your own town. You can even book room close to home, for a staycation to extend the fun for an extra day.
     
  2. Don't forget to key up the perfect playlist, or make a special playlist for that special someone.
     
  3. Plan a rom-com movie night. Stay in and add take-out food and a bottle of wine, and cuddle up in front of the TV. Or if your partner is dying to see a new flick, surprise them at the end of dinner with an impromptu movie date out on the town!
     
  4. Organize a nature walk or stroll through the park. Being outside has so many health benefits — and it's a bonus when you can find a beautiful view. And if you live somewhere with warm weather, extend the day and head out for a couple's bike ride. And for the nature-lover, you can show how your love grows by planting them a tree!
     
  5. Send a beautiful bouquet to let them know you are thinking of them when you are apart. Or pick up the perfect bouquet at a store near you to keep love blooming.
     

sunset date

  1. Catch the sunset. Meet up right after work to watch the sunset—the perfect view for those who love love. Then stay and stargaze once the sun goes down.
     
  2. Fire up a bonfire. Grab marshmallows, chocolates, and s'mores, then spend the night cuddling by the fire.
     
  3. A date with yourself. Valentine's Day is just as much about treating yourself as much as you treat and love others. Schedule the ultimate ‘treat yourself’ day: Get your favorite lunch, a mani-pedi, run by your favorite bookstore, and then stop for your favorite coffee or dessert.

roses and dinner

  1. Plan a romantic dinner. Pick up all the ingredients and cook something new together. Take the "wow factor" up a notch by dressing up and decorating your dining room. Or how about a progressive dinner with drinks, appetizers, a main course, and dessert at-home, with a round of takeout orders so you can enjoy without the crowds of Valentine’s Day.
     
  2. Have an indoor picnic. It can be dressy or casual. And the weather can’t freeze out your plans when you're dining on the floor of your living room. Don't forget the checkered blanket, chocolate covered strawberries, and of course, roses!
     
  3. Organize a game night. Invite a few friends over and bust out the board games, or plan a fun puzzle night at home — buy a new one that depicts a place you have been together or another common interest. You can even visit an arcade and let our your inner child — the most important thing is to not be serious all the time together!
     
  4. Schedule a cocktail night, solo or with your favorite couple. All you need is a mix of different drinks and a few accessories like fruit, spices and snacks—it's easy to find cool recipes online—try our rose cocktail recipes!
     
  5. Plan a photo shoot with just the two of you. Hire a photographer, or have a friend or even one of your kids take a few snapshots. Then print them out and display them in your home to remind you of your special connection.
     

write a love letter

  1. Write a love letter. Make Valentine's Day even more special by putting into words why your significant other means so much to you.
     

breakfast in bed

  1. Play hooky together. Take the day off from work and enjoy a change of pace. Have breakfast in bed or go out to your favorite cafe, do a crossword together, and binge-watch your favorite movie series.
     
  2. Take a class together. Learning something new or getting creative together is a great way to bond and build romance. Try a cooking class, dance lessons, an art class, or golf workshop.
     
  3. Make a scrapbook. If you are crafty, you might enjoy taking momentos from over the years and combining them with photos to create a romantic keepsake. If you are not crafty, make a fun photo slideshow to share while you sip champagne.
