Whatever preferences and expectations you have for Valentine’s Day, remember that love can be celebrated in so many ways with our special ones. “A Valentine” can be a friend, family, partner, or even a pet. V-Day is just one day of the year to remember to show those dear to your heart how much you care.

Remember, the best gifts you can give are from the heart and do not have to be brand new, but can be crafted by yourself or thrifted from a second-hand shop. Perhaps the best gift that is free, is giving the gift of your time by turning off your phones to fully experience special moments with your loved ones.

Loving Letters

A letter can sometimes say more than you can. Writing a letter to your special someone is the origin of the Valentine’s Day custom as we know it today.

To add a touch of nostalgic charm use something like these Sentimental Floral Stationaries or Vintage Cards.

You can also take it a romantic step further by writing your own poem, or just share from this Poetry Book with words from the hopeless romantics of the past.

Breakfast in Bed

Begin the day with a cozy breakfast in bed. Matching Robes or Silk Pajamas will make the morning all the cozier.

Light a Lovely Candle while putting together a Breakfast Tray with fresh flowers served with Heart-Shaped Waffles. A Rose Petal Tea would certainly enhance the taste.

Afternoon Engagement

An afternoon out can make for a memorable excursion. Visit a museum, art gallery, or bookstore then pop into a tea room or cozy cafe for something sweet.

If choosing to stay at home, doesn’t Rose Hot Chocolate in a Rose Tea Cup sound charming?

In fair weather, pack a Picnic Basket with snacks, and don’t forget the Chocolate Box. Take a stroll arm in arm, to a pretty spot in a park.

Dinner & Dance

As the evening arrives, present a token of love in a Heart Shaped Box.

An Old-Fashioned Locket with a favorite photo inside will always remind you about the happiest days even on the cloudy ones.

A Besame Perfume transports to another era of timeless love.

After dinner, try an activity like dancing to bring you close together and also show a playful side as music usually does. If you have two left feet, just go with it. Tonight is your night.

You can always practice at home when firing up the Victrola Record Player to dance like nobody can see you.

Movie Night

A cozy way to end a lovely Valentines Day

Cap off the night with a good movie. It will bring a good conversation or two. Whether in the theater or at home. Here are a few classic film ideas that are available for streaming right now.
