While 2021 Valentine’s Day may look and feel a little different for some, don’t let your night roll by like any other regular night at home. Staying in on Valentine’s Day has its advantages - after all, home is where the heart is. We’re skipping the cliché ideas and giving you some different ways to enjoy a memorable Valentine's Day in the comfort of your own home.
Try to recreate a romantic ambiance around the house and work your magic to cozy things up. Think scented candles. Think roses. Pick a corner, cue some romantic music, and set the mood. For extra gusto, doll up as if you are going to paint the town red. And remember, there’s no such thing as too many roses or heart-shaped decor on Valentine's Day.
Talking about roses… Don’t forget to get your partner a classic gift of flowers! You can purchase a bouquet of red roses to mark the day and pair them with a box of chocolates. Having a surprise up your sleeve will definitely add that final touch to your Valentine’s Day celebration.
Kick start the day with a breakfast full of heart-shaped carbs for your Valentine to take V-Day to the next level! Attempt to make most of their brekkie favs like raspberry streusel muffins or stuffed cheesy omelettes. We don’t know anyone who doesn't love a date that doesn't require getting out of bed.
While cooking a romantic dinner or ordering your favourite meal is synonymous to celebrating V-Day at home, perk up your Valentine's Day dinner conversation by quizizing each other on prepared questions such as ‘What movie reminds you of us?’,‘ For what in your life do you feel most grateful?’ or ‘Name three things we have in common’. Doing so will help you’ll connect on a more intimate level by getting to know each other even better. It’s always fun and surprising to learn new things about each other.
Just because you're spending this Valentine’s Day at home doesn't mean you can't dream of a faraway vacation. With love in the air, plan to fly to your dream destination at a time that is suitable and safe to travel. Spend the night planning and fantasising about a rejuvenating vacation with your partner. Shortlist places to visit, research about popular must-see landmarks, jot down an itinerary and start daydreaming by each other's side.
