Ways to Create Your Perfect Valentine's Day
The Morning
Start with a heartwarming gift.
A personalized keepsake like our I Wrote a Book About Us is a wonderful opportunity to make your partner feel fully seen and deeply appreciated. Pair it with a greeting card or a delicious box of chocolates for an extra-special touch.
Plan a special Valentine’s Day breakfast.
Make a fun new recipe together or treat your partner to breakfast in bed. It’s a simple way to slow down and start the day with moments to savor.
Leave little surprises.
Sprinkle compliment cards around the house for your partner to find. Or set up a scavenger hunt of Love Notes and reward your sweetie with kisses for each letter they find.
The Daytime
Build connection on a date.
With Valentine’s Day falling on a weekend this year, there’s plenty of time to slow down and enjoy being together. Your plans don’t have to be elaborate to feel meaningful. Sometimes the simplest moments become the most memorable. If you need ideas, try one of these inspired by our Sweet Memories activity card deck:
- Re-create your first date and recall how you felt along the way.
- Go outside for a hike or a bike ride and spend time in nature.
- Play tourist in your hometown by visiting a place you haven’t been to yet.
The Evening
Share a special meal.
Enjoy a meal at your favorite restaurant OR skip the reservations and stay inside for a night at home. Make your favorite dish and create a romantic tablescape with candles and roses.
Set up a movie night.
Enjoy a night at the movies or a cozy movie night at home. Either way, make sure to load up on popcorn and all the snacks you love!
Whether it’s been a year, or thirty years, there’s always more to learn about one another. Strengthen your connection using our Tell Me More: Couples’ Edition conversation kit. The questions inside this kit are designed to help deepen your relationship and learn more about each other.
Create a bucket list as a couple.
Use Our Wish List activity book to dream aloud together and make wishes for your relationship—this year and beyond.
Whatever you choose, we hope this Valentine’s Day is one you and your partner won’t forget. These fun ideas are ones you can come back to, time and time again, for birthdays, anniversaries, and more!
