How To Celebrate Valentine’s Day At Home With Your Partner
You don’t always need a fancy restaurant or a getaway to celebrate love. Scroll ahead to see how you can make Valentine’s Day at home a memorable affair.
1. Cook Them A Meal
There’s no better way to make your Valentine feel special on this day than by cooking a meal of their choice or baking them their favourite batch of cookies. Even if the food or the cookies don’t turn out well, your partner will surely remember the romantic gesture. But if you want to make your Valentine’s Day at home even more special, we suggest you both get into the kitchen for a helluva time together!
2. Games Night
Time to bring out all the board games and cards from the back of your cupboard. Order in and spend the night getting competitive as you sit across from each other. FYI, we all know of ways to spice up the game night! *wink wink*
3. Dance Lesson!
Dance is not just good for your fitness but also for your relationship. There’s nothing more romantic than that sensual dance with your partner. So, book an at-home salsa or tango class to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home.
4. Hey, Bartender!
If you and your partner love cocktails, then this is the best way to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home! Take turns to make a fun cocktail for each other and indulge in some tipsy romance.
5. Spa Night
We’re all so busy with our lives that we forget how important self-care is. So, pamper each other by putting together an at-home spa. Light some candles, order some essential oils or make a relaxing bath if you have a tub at your place. Also, you never know what a massage sesh by your partner leads to!
How To Celebrate Valentine’s Day At Home With Your Loved Ones
Valentine’s Day should not be reserved just for your partner. It’s a day to celebrate with your family and friends as well. If you’re hoping to spend Valentine’s Day at home with your loved ones, here are some interesting ways to make it special.
1. Get Artistic
There are not enough good Valentine’s Day decorations for home available in the market. But that shouldn’t stop you from adding some lovey-dovey elements to your home. Get hold of another family member or friend and get crafty. Add in tons of glitter, balloons and ribbons and you’re good to go!
2. Date Night
Why should just couples have date nights? Plan a family or friends date for Valentine’s Day at home. Put together a fun meal or just order in. Light some candles, put on the music and enjoy a night of heartfelt conversations!
3. Spread Love
Spending Valentine’s Day at home doesn’t mean that you can’t step out for a bit and make the day special for those around you. Use this opportunity to spread some love and kindness around you. Get together with your family and make food packets for those less fortunate.
4. Games Night
Well, if you have a big family, nothing like a night of dumb charades, musical chairs or even antakshri! In fact, you can also set up a karaoke, tambola or poker night. And for all the nuclear families, we suggest you pull out the monopoly, uno and ludo. What fun!
5. Jar Of Memories
Make your 2022 Valentine’s Day at home memorable by recalling all the fun moments and memories of your lives. Put them down on a paper and then let someone else from your family read it out. Do the same with the other members as well. We bet it’ll be a night to remember!
Things To Do At Home For Valentine’s Day If You’re Single
Many of us are single and we live miles away from our families but that doesn’t mean you don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. Here are some fab ideas to choose from!
1. Singles Only House Party
You’re not the only one who is single, so call upon all your single friends and celebrate Valentine’s Day at home. Celebrate your single status and rock the night!
2. Date Night
There’s nothing wrong with being comfortable with yourself and enjoying your own company. Celebrate Valentine’s Day at home by ordering your favourite meal from your favourite restaurant and don’t forget to bring out that bottle of wine or champagne. Psst…do raise a toast to your singlehood.
3. Sleep!
The best or rather the purest relationship we share is the one we have with our beds. So, instead of spending your energy on anything else, we’d recommend you shut the blinds and curl up in your bed to get some extra shut-eye this Valentine’s Day. We’d also recommend a social media detox along with this.
4. Virtual Comedy Show
Amid the pandemic, several comedians are hosting virtual comedy shows so we suggest you book your slot before it gets sold out. Or else, you can always stream a stand-up show on one of the OTT platforms or just watch it on YouTube.
5. Pamper Yourself
You don’t need anybody else to pamper you. Indulge in some retail therapy online or soak yourself in a long relaxing bath. There’s so much you can do!
