True beauty lies in the little things, even when you're looking for slightly original and different ideas to celebrate Valentine's Day with the person you love.
Celebrating Valentine's Day might seem anachronistic, but it's also a romantic occasion to celebrate our love and the person we're with. Deciding what to do on Valentine's Day isn't always easy, especially if you're looking for an original idea to celebrate and far enough away from the couples' menus that infest restaurants (without detracting from those who decide to celebrate by dressing up and treating themselves to a nice dinner out).
Perhaps more simply, we often forget that true beauty lies in the little things and that, after all, little is needed to make the time spent together romantic and special.
Do not you believe it? These original ideas for celebrating Valentine's Day will change your mind and, why not, maybe even give you some ideas for organizing your (indeed, you're) special day! Don't forget to also check out our guide on romantic gifts for Valentine's Day and beyond.
RECREATE YOUR FIRST DATE
Truly original ideas - whether it's to celebrate Valentine's Day or any other important occasion - are those that strike straight at the heart of your loved one. You don't need triple somersaults and circus stunts to succeed in making a day memorable, you just need to sharpen your wits, digging deep into the memories you share with your partner.
Think of his expression when he discovers that you have recreated your first date from scratch, the one from which it all began even if you may not have realized yet that you are your respective sweet halves. You can book dinner in the same restaurant where you ate together for the first time and, why not, choose exactly the same dishes from the menu! Or go back to the café where you had your first coffee together. The rest will flow by itself and it will be a super romantic occasion for a journey into your most beautiful memories.
ORGANIZE A "SPECIAL" TREASURE HUNT
If you're looking for something more surprising, treasure hunting is always a great idea. Forget, however, the ones we organized as children with schoolmates or when we were on a camping trip. This time it's really appropriate to make it a little more "spicy" because if it's true that Valentine's Day celebrates romantic love, on the other hand, it doesn't exclude that it can also be sexy!
Among other things, it is not only one of the most original ideas but also a "low-cost" choice to celebrate Valentine's Day if you don't have big budgets available. Make note cards with clues, then hide them around the house, starting of course with the first place your partner looks when they get home from work. One clue leads to another and, little surprise after little surprise, the last "accidentally" leads straight to the bedroom. Where you will always "by chance" be there, the final surprise!
THE TASTING IN THE CELLAR IS AN EXPERIENCE TO TRY
You have certainly heard a thousand times about the tastings organized directly in the cellar and perhaps you have even turned up a little, considering them a bit "haughty" activities. You will be amazed to know that, on the other hand, they are among the most romantic and special experiences you can have with the person you love, definitely worth trying at least once in your life.
If you like enjoying good wine and discovering places immersed in history and nature together, think about it!
PS: Some wineries organize special tastings just for Valentine's Day. Take a look around.
TREAT YOURSELF TO AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT UNDER THE STARS
Maybe it will seem obvious and at times goofy, but there is nothing more romantic than a night under the starry sky (weather permitting, of course). Sure February 14th isn't exactly the hottest day of the year, but that certainly can't be enough to stop you from organizing one of the most memorable evenings ever!
Organize everything, first of all by advising your partner to wear comfortable and warm clothing, so as to protect themselves from the cold. If you like the sea, it might be a good idea to choose your favorite beach as the location, the same if you love the mountains. A hot drink, some homemade appetizers, and the most romantic sky of your life will do the rest.
SOFA, APPETIZERS, AND MOVIE MARATHON FOR TRUE CINEMA ADDICTED
You know when we said that the most original ideas for celebrating Valentine's Day are, after all, the simplest and most inspired by your relationship with your partner? We loudly reconfirm it, adding that a nice movie marathon on the sofa to make the evening unique and special is by no means out of the question!
Are you a fan of cinema and TV series? Between work and commitments, do you never have time to sit on the sofa and watch a movie? You see, you practically have the solution in your pocket: choose your favorite film saga or series to make a nice rewatch, or take the opportunity to watch something new that you've had on your list for a long time!
COOKING TOGETHER IS A SUPER ROMANTIC IDEA
Have you noticed that sometimes the most original ideas aren't the ones that make you celebrate Valentine's Day on the other side of the world (also spending a lot of pennies), but they are also simple special moments to experience at home? What then, let's face it, celebrating in this way is not only low cost but also "convenient" because it takes advantage of all the comfort of your love nest.
In relationships, all the senses are essential, but the taste has pride in place. Titillating the taste buds can be very seductive, the classic "taking by the throat" that never goes out of style. So why not celebrate Valentine's Day by cooking together? Cooking together is a super romantic, nice, and engaging idea for both of you!
