Impress your sweetheart with these Valentine’s Day tips

Whether you wait 365 days each year with eager anticipation of Valentine’s Day or consider it a “Hallmark Holiday”, it is a day that doesn’t go unnoticed by millions. After almost 22 years of marriage, Sean and I have our own take on love and romance and it relieves us from any pressure to celebrate on this specific date, rather incorporate the meaning all year long. Even still, the Valentine cards and heart balloons are stocked and ready in the shops and the countdown to a romantic and wonderful Valentine’s Day is upon some of those involved in a relationship. Would you like to rustle up something romantic and meaningful without the stress? Prepping and planning the right Valentine’s Day date can be a downright difficult task to tackle. Do you want to go all out with a sophisticated and romantic evening or plan the perfect gift but don’t know where to get started?

Here are a few Valentine’s Day date ideas to get you and your sweetie in the mood for love.

Whip up a romantic meal together

Instead of hitting the restaurants at peak time with expensive set menus, choose to make your own romantic dinner at home. Whip up your loved one’s favorite dish and indulge in a delicious dessert this Valentine’s Day.

Ice-skating

There’s a reason why so many couples hit the ice rink in our favorite romantic comedy films. Whether you’re holding onto your significant other for dear life the entire time or you’re both gliding while holding hands, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get close. Once you’ve had your fill in the rink, you can enjoy some hard-earned cocoa.

Go dancing

Oh yes you can! We’re not talking about hitting a cool club; we’re talking about real dancing. You can take a class, hit a salsa club, and get inspired to get your groove on.

Visit the museum

When museums stay open after-hours, they tend to spice things up by throwing a party or holding a special event, especially on Valentine’s Day. Take an after-dark art tour for two, accompanied by live music, like the one offered by the San Diego Museum of Art, complete with a picnic basket for two, chocolate treats, and champagne.

A second first date

This is guaranteed to impress your significant other! Fire up your memory and invest a bit of mental work and choose to go to back to where it all began by re-creating your first date with your loved one. Walk down memory lane, go to the same restaurant, eat the same food, and see how many details you can recall from that first night.
