We’ve got your Valentine’s ideas covered

Low Cost, Last Minute, Thoughtful, Fun, whatever you are looking for we’ve got you covered.

We have come up with some great Valentine’s ideas that will earn you Brownie points and even if you have left it to the very last minute we are here for you.

Start the Day Right

If you have forgotten what day it is. Never fear, start with making breakfast. Cut heart shapes out of toast or anything else you are serving and preferably deliver it to your loved one in bed. Tell them that this is ‘just the start’ which will buy you some time to read the rest of our Valentine’s ideas and come up with a plan.

Mix Tape

Putting your emotions into a song choice is a romantic way to say I love you and if you write a song list in a card with shared memories or why you have chosen the tracks all the better. Create a playlist in Spotify and then present them with the card while you listen together.

Recreate your first Date

It may take a bit of planning if your first date was a big one but if it was a local pub you could arrange to meet by text, just like the old days and reminisce about that first meeting.

Bake

Most corner shops stock enough to make a cake, or cookies. BBC Good Food has a range of Valentine’s treats from brownies to these cute heart muffins https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/melting-heart-muffins

Decorate with a love heart sweets to send a little message.

Vouchers

Cut out heart shape vouchers with little promises to your loved one (it’s up to you if you make them saucy suggestions) a promise of a lie-in and breakfast in bed is always popular, so are days out, DIY jobs, chores and cooked meals.

Love Note Trail

Hide little love notes all over the house with all the reasons you love your them.

Dance

Learn a dance together. YouTube has plenty of dance classes available to learn with a step by step guide. Poor some bubbly, light some candles and spend some time arm in arm. Here’s one with basic steps for beginners https://www.youtube.com/live/zMEjdzp6S9M?feature=shared

Online escape rooms

Not on the High Street have a variety of Escape Rooms in an envelope. Our favourite is the Digital Escape Room where all the clues come via Whatsapp (psst it’s only £6.50)

Draw Each Other

If you are a couple who love to laugh together, spending some time gazing at each other while you go to town with crayons and pens before revealing the results, is sure to set the tone for a fun night. “Paint me like one of your French girls” to quote Titanic!

Massage

An indulgent massage is a great treat, make sure the room is warm and cosy, with low lighting and soft music and if you don’t know what you are doing here are some easy tips:-

  • Keep you hands flat, relaxed and in full contact with the skin
  • Always keep your strokes moving upwards towards the heart
  • Avoid light pressure around ticklish areas, it’s not relaxing
  • Keep strokes long and flowing
  • Kneading shoulder muscles can be bliss for the recipient but check with them for the pressure
  • Ease off around the backs of knees
  • Use your thumbs to apply pressure to muscle areas in a rotating motion

Make a Card or Picture

Cards can be very expensive but you can make a card very easily but cutting out a heart shape in a folded piece of card and sticking a picture of the two of you. Draw little hearts around the picture and voila. If you have no artistic talent making stick figure characters with a cute message can be just as effective. There are loads of easy and creative ideas here from Real Simple

Remember the best Valentine’s ideas show that you understand who they are and what they love, the more they will appreciate the gesture.
