These 5 Creative Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day at Home
While holidays and
special occasions continue to look a little different than expected, it’s
important to know that you can still celebrate with loved ones, even if it's at
a distance. These socially-distanced
ideas to celebrate Valentine’s Day are perfect for an evening inside!
Have An Indoor Picnic
Whether
you’re celebrating with someone in your home or celebrating virtually,
preparing a picnic can be a fun and easy way to switch it up this Valentine’s
Day! Consider setting up your picnic in a room you don’t typically eat in, such
as a sitting room or in front of a fireplace.
Spread out a comfy blanket that you don’t mind eating over and put
on some instrumental music in the background. You can even light candles
as a subtle way to enhance your experience. We recommend that if you do
light candles, make sure they are a safe distance from other items and ledges
to prevent
a house fire.
Plan a Valentine’s Day Movie Marathon
Plan for
as many movies as you can, then go ahead and splurge on the good popcorn and candy! You can
make your living room extra comfy by bringing in additional blankets and
pillows from around your
house. Try hanging string lights in the space for an added ‘wow’ factor.
If you have a projector, you might even consider streaming your movies onto a blank
wall for a more theater-like experience.
Enjoy a Game Night
Step up
your Valentine’s Day conversation with a trivia night! It’s always fun and
surprising to learn new things about one another. If you and your significant
other enjoy competition, you might even consider organizing a
virtual game night with friends. Or, if it’s a night-in with the
family, you can switch to board games!
Bake Something Sweet
Baking
can be a fun way to spend time with a significant other or loved one. At the
end, you will have a sweet treat to enjoy together! Make the most out of this
baking experience by going all out! Pick recipes for your
favorite desserts, then throw on some aprons and some
music. The most important thing is that you have a good time!
Take an Online Class Together
From
cooking classes to “paint ’n sips”, there are a wide variety of online classes that you
can take advantage of with your significant other or loved one! This versatile
option is perfect whether you live in the same household
or not, because it's done online. As long as you have an internet
connection and your supplies, you’re good to go!
