Trying new things together
brings back the feelings of excitement and the thrill that you felt when you
first fell in love. So for this Valentine's Day,
do something new and adventurous together. Use
Valentine's Day as a marker for starting to incorporate novel experiences into
your schedule. Each of you can brainstorm a list of new places you'd like to
see or things you'd like to try together. Make a goal to try one new activity
each month or weekend, depending on what your schedule allows.
1.
Take a confectionary class. If you
can convince your honey to attend it will be twice as fun.
2.
Gaze at artwork while nibbling on
chocolate and listening to jazz music. Many art galleries hold special
Valentine events with a special sweet reception and live local music. Check to
see if your local art museum is hosting an event.
3.
Find out if your local history museum
has an exhibition on historical
wedding attire. Displays of this kind often feature not only gowns but
also undergarments, traditions, and cakes.
4.
If you
live in a warm climate (or feeling adventurous in the north) go for a night
time stroll.
5.
Sign
up for salsa or swing dance lessons. Many
studios will host a fun dance party. Or... a night night dancing in your own living room can be very romantic.
6.
Dinner
and the theater. Many historic theaters offer an evening beginning with champagne, dessert
buffets, flowers and candy all in a candlelit lobby. Then sit back and
enjoy a show or performance.
7.
Go ice
skating. Local ice rinks may open to offer specials for the holiday. Outdoor
rinks are fun and you can enjoy a break in a warming house with some hot cocoa.
Skiing and snowboarding can be fun too!
8.
Have a cheap night in. Cuddle up with your loved one as you
watch the classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and the passionate
"Moulin Rouge." Best movie double feature ever.
9.
Simply relax. If you have crazy busy
schedules then perhaps a night of doing absolutely nothing is in order. It’s
nice to just snuggle.
10. Go to a spa or create a do-it-yourself spa in your home. Take a
bath together, use oils and give each other a massage.
11. Make each other cards or write each other love letters. Create handmade coupons with gifts your
partner can use anytime and insert into the card for your honey. Don’t limit cards to each other… make cards or
write letters to others who are important in your life. It’s a nice time to let
others know how much you appreciate them.
12. Host a Valentine’s Day Party. Blow up balloons with prizes (such
as chocolate kisses) in them. Add paper hearts around the room for people to
write “secret messages” on.
13. Of course, my favorite involves cooking up some romance in the
kitchen. Choose a fun or favorite dish to prepare together. Drink wine and have
some strawberries with whipped cream handy while you heat up some fun. Don’t
forget something chocolate for dessert!
