Because Valentine's Day is above all a day to celebrate love and share a good moment with your partner, here are some ideas to make this day even more special!
1. Prepare a Romantic Dinner
And yes, it may seem silly but the simplest things are the best! It's also perfect for people on a small budget who still want to please the other!
No pressure, keep it simple and tasty, you don't need to transform yourself into a Meilleur Ouvrier de France to prepare a good meal for them! Simply opt for fresh and quality products, for even more taste and flavor.
If you're lacking inspiration or if you and cooking don't get along well, don't hesitate to follow tutorials on Youtube or recipes directly on the internet, like with the Pinterest app. It's also the time to try new things, avoid the pasta and ham dish, or choose the safe bet, their favorite dish. Nothing beats a good meal made with love, and even if it's not perfect, remember that it's the thought that counts!
Otherwise, there's always the option of taking cooking classes, there are group or individual workshops to teach you the basics and even make various and delicious dishes! And hey, that could also be a good gift idea for next Valentine's Day ;)
Once your meal is ready, take the time to set a beautiful table, bring out a good bottle of wine and your best dinnerware. Don't skimp on the decoration, a beautiful tablecloth, pretty candles scattered around, a large bouquet of flowers in the center of the table and you're all set! And why not, a little note on your partner's plate, to add an extra touch of romance...
It's up to you to add the personal touch that will touch your loved one's heart!!!
If you have the opportunity, prepare a romantic picnic for them.
Step 1, choose the most beautiful park in your city, 2, prepare a meal that's easily transportable and edible, like tapas, small sandwiches, salads, fruits... and don't forget a good bottle! Last step, lay a nice blanket on the ground, arrange all your meal on it, you can also add small decorative elements like cushions, string lights... All that's left is to enjoy this lovely moment together!
We'll admit it, having a picnic in the middle of February isn't for everyone, but if you live in the South or in a warm country, it's an opportunity to pull out all the stops!
And for those for whom cooking is a real challenge, you always have the option of booking a table at a restaurant, to spend a good evening with your feet under the table enjoying delicious dishes!
Or a little surprise for the morning, like preparing a nice breakfast, easy, good, and effective. You can choose to make your own pastries or buy them fresh from the bakery in the morning. Squeeze some nice oranges, accompany them with a hot drink, toast with jam, eggs, fresh fruits and your favorite pastries and you're done! All you'll have to do is bring it to them on a tray in bed, guaranteed results!
However, it's quite possible that after this hearty breakfast, you'll want to stay in bed all day!
If you like to impress and surprise your partner, now is the time!
Take them to a unique and special place. Even for just a day or a night, getting away from the routine and stress of everyday life remains a very enjoyable moment. Choose an unusual place like a rental in a stilt house, a night in a castle, in a yurt, camping under the stars... There are more and more beautiful places available for all budgets that you can enjoy with your partner for a night.
Why not a cruise on a boat, where you can also enjoy a good meal or simply a glass of champagne by the water. A simple outdoor walk after work can also be a good opportunity to spend time with your partner!
It may seem quite surprising but many couples like to dress in the same way or at least in the same colors. And on this lovers' day, it might be the time to give in to this trend!
Of course, the goal is not to look like you're in costume but rather to sport a look and style in harmony with the person accompanying you. Opt for a simple outfit but in the same tones, for example, a camel coat, a black sweater, blue jeans and white sneakers. These are timeless pieces that can be found in both a woman's and a man's wardrobe.
An accessory is also a very good idea. Easy to wear, it can enhance an outfit while adding style. You can choose a scarf, a hat, a cap or even a matching pair of socks, which you will wear during your romantic outing!
We love the beret from the brand Le Béret Français, available in many colors and styles, you can wear matching berets or not. A "so French" and trendy style to wear as a couple without moderation!

Are you a fan of thrilling experiences? Valentine's Day can also be an opportunity to share and introduce your passion to your loved one. While keeping it romantic, you can choose to take your partner on a hot air balloon ride with an incredible view, go skydiving, if you're in the mountains, go snowshoeing or sledding... Or you also have the option of spending a night in haunted places, like old manors, for the bravest ones!
Lots of possibilities are available to you, depending on your desires and your budget, so it's up to you to make it happen!
You can also opt for unusual ideas like wine, chocolate or other tastings. Visiting a museum or an aquarium at night can be a very pleasant and surprising moment since we don't always have the opportunity to visit these places at such late hours! You always have the cinema option, which remains an accessible and equally enjoyable activity to experience as a couple!
For some, Valentine's Day is also a sad moment that reminds them of their single life! Well, know that this day is not only reserved for couples!
It can also be an opportunity to take time for yourself, eat a good meal, read that book that's been lying on your bedside table for far too long, treat yourself to that much-desired piece of clothing, prepare a cozy evening with a nice hot bath... Or simply, see your friends and have a great evening with them!
It's above all a moment of sharing where we can take time for ourselves and do what we love, accompanied or not!
And if you don't like celebrating Valentine's Day, whether as a couple or not, that's perfectly fine! A cozy evening at home watching your favorite movie or series is great too!
