- After all this time, you are still each other’s favorite person to spend time with.
So why not use this February 14th as just another reason to spend that time together doing something fun?
Need some ideas? Here you are!
-
1. Cook something yummy together
Find a new recipe you both want to try. Or take a cooking class together. Watching his inner chef come out will be cute. And in the end, you get to enjoy a yummy meal together.
-
2. Take a dance class
So your cha-cha might not be the smoothest thing ever. But he thinks it’s cute. Try learning some new dance moves together that you can use at home later on when your favorite song comes on the radio.
-
3. Visit a farmer’s market
Pick out some fresh ingredients for salsa, or grab some fresh fruit. Or head to a winter market for squash and jarred goodies.
-
4. Go on a dinner cruise
A delicious dinner while surrounded by water and stars – need we say more?
Or, if this doesn’t fit the budget at the moment, spend the evening planning the details of a future vacation, and then start saving so you can take it.
-
5. Visit a museum or art gallery
Pick one that you both think sounds interesting, and see what new things you learn.
-
6. Go bowling
Winner gets to pick where you go for dessert.
-
7. Take a hot air balloon ride
Unless one of you dislikes heights. You want this to be fun, remember?
-
8. Re-create your first date
Take her to the restaurant you first took her to. Talk about when you first met. Reminisce about the little details of that time together.
-
9. Make s’mores
And snuggle in a warm blanket under the stars.
-
10. Go to a play
Dressing up for a nice evening out can be refreshing and fun for both of you.
-
11. Visit a new city or town together
Go exploring and see what cool places you discover. Find an old town to walk around while holding hands, or try a new restaurant you stumble upon.
-
12. Make ice cream sundaes
Go shopping together beforehand to pick out all the toppings. Or grab some root beer and ice cream for root beer floats.
-
13. Go hiking
If you go often, go to a new spot you’ve been wanting to try together. Maybe even bring along a picnic.
-
14. Play tennis
It’s a date and a great workout all in one.
-
15. Go swimming
Find a heated pool or some hot springs or hot tubs and relax.
-
16. Have a spa night
Book a couples massage or some facials.
-
17. Have a perfume/cologne date
Go out and smell some new fragrances, and then help each other pick one that you both like. You’ll have a cute date and get your Valentine’s Day gifts for each other picked out at the same time.
-
18. Try a couples yoga class
Because why not use Valentine’s Day to de-stress, stretch and feel great afterward?
-
19. Attend a sports game
A night out with a little cheering while eating good food may be just what you both need.
Give one of these a try this Valentine’s Day – and then use the others for regular date nights with your spouse, and see how much closer you become.
And my husband has been saying this to me all the time I try to do something out of the budget. His been very focused on what we need to do, and best of all it’s working.
