Happy Valentine’s Day!
It’s that time of year again. Everywhere you turn is pink and red, chocolate, hearts, and candy. This year, instead of the usual box of assorted chocolates, make it a special time of celebration of your significant other and the love that you share.
Here are some Valentines Day date ideas to help keep things new and fresh!
- Make a book of all the things you love about your spouse and why you are thankful for him or her.
- Create a fun scavenger hunt around town. Let the clues lead to items that you placed somewhere or bought for him or her
- Hide love notes in his or her car, coat or pants pocket, or purse so they can find them throughout the day.
- Book a Spa day for two. Be relaxed, together.
- Let loose and live a little with Karaoke night.
- Recreate the first date you ever had together.
- Rent your or your partner’s “dream car” and go on an exploring adventure.
- Fill balloons with paint and play a unique game of darts
- Cook together
