Valentine's Day 2021 is likely to be a little different from what we are used to. In this little article, you will find tips to make this day great (perhaps even more than the previous ones!).
So here's your chance to get creative with your Valentine's Day activities to make February 14 the most memorable ever!
- Take an online cooking class and prepare your own meal
Do you usually have a good gourmet meal at the restaurant for Valentine's Day? Check your favorite recipes online, go grocery shopping with your partner and start cooking!
If you don't feel like cooking a full meal, you have several options:
- Order takeout
If you don't like to cook or would rather relax than cook, you can support a local business by ordering directly. Order all your favorite dishes from a local establishment, enjoy a glass of wine with your darling, and wait for your meal to arrive.
- Make cakes for two
Even if you don't want to cook an entire dinner, you can whip up a little dessert: Find an easy recipe online or in your favorite cookbook for making a dessert you'd like to make together. Even melting chocolate chips in a bowl and dipping fresh fruit into it can be delicious and romantic.
- Host a romantic picnic indoors
Lay out on the living room floor what you have cooked, baked or ordered and a bottle of wine/bubbles/ or any other drink you like. Be sure to set the scene with a cute picnic blanket and pack a basket, if you have a fireplace, even better!
- Create cocktails together
Test your skills as a mixologist and learn how to create your favorite cocktails or prepare new blends! There are many recipes and tutorials online to guide you through this experiment.
- Take a virtual tour
The Covid crisis and the rules of social distancing may have made it more difficult to travel, visit museums, ballets or even operas. Luckily for you, many of these places have decided to offer virtual museum tours, many plays have been streamed live and are available online, dance performances are also available. Search online for virtual tours of museums, opera houses, art galleries for a cultural date night!
- Plan a board game night
If you want to have a great night out with your partner, take your favorite board games out of the closet and have a fun time!
- Have a romantic movie night
For a more casual Valentine's Day, you can choose one movie each and watch them together. Don't forget the popcorn and your favorite snacks!
- Spa day at home
Why not bring the spa to your home? Pamper yourself at home. Treat yourself to massages with anti-stress oils, relax with moisturizing masks. Take care of yourself !
- Write a love letter
As this year we cannot see our loved ones as often as usual, a simple but effective solution to make them smile again is to write and send a letter by post.
It's a meaningful way to express to someone you love, how much you miss them, to show them your love in these difficult times. This is an especially great idea for grandparents or family members you haven't been able to see, we all need a little love this Valentine's Day.
