Great Ideas for Valentine's Day
Share Your Love With Your Valentine With These Unique Activity Ideas
Feb 9, 2009
Romancing and dating, sharing and caring, interacting and communicating; all these take time and effort. It is the price a couple, married or not, must pay in order to keep a relationship vibrant. The usual Valentine’s night out – movie and dinner – every Valentine’s Day restricts how close you can become with your Valentine.
What else can you and your Valentine do? Lots! At the price of some planning you and your Valentine can grow creatively together.
Combine activities from the different ideas below. Make up your own variations. The key is to be intuitive and inventive, and to discover things that you and your Valentine enjoy doing together.
Valentines Day Out
- Organize a treasure hunt for your Valentine to find his/her Valentine’s Day gift, giving directions and number of steps in each direction to find the ‘treasure’.
- Offer to take Polaroid photos of other Valentine couples in the park or at a restaurant, and have them do the same for you and your Valentine. Swap photos afterwards. Alternatively, you can use a digital camera and e-mail their photo to them later. This is an ideal way to make new friends.
- Go window shopping. At each store window pick your favorite items. See how your tastes compare with your Valentine’s.
- Take a drive to a place you’ve never been before. Additionally, blindfold your Valentine and see if he/she can guess where they are.
- Write your Valentine a love message in the sand, in the snow, or on the ground using rocks.
- Make a kite shaped like a heart and fly it with your Valentine.
Valentines Night Out
- See if you and your Valentine can go on a dinner date… without speaking to each other! Use only non-verbal gestures.
- Take your Valentine midnight bowling, then go for a moonlight walk, watch the sun rise, then eat breakfast.
Valentines Night In
- Rehearse the lines to the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. See if you and your Valentine can perform the scene off-by-heart.
- Make up a love story together using cut-out magazine pictures or from your own photos.
- Go though your photos with your Valentine and do the same with theirs. Create captions for them and put together an album.
Try not to plan your Valentine’s Day activities too much. A simple activity savored with your Valentine is better than an over-ambitious agenda hurried or only half enjoyed.
Understand clearly what your goals are: getting to know your Valentine, simply being with your Valentine, having fun together.
