Creative Ways to Make Your Valentine’s Day Extra Special

The 14th of February is around the corner, so now is the time to start planning your Valentine's Day activities and party supplies before it's too late. Not sure what to do to celebrate? There are many Valentine's Day ideas here that you can use for your partner, your friends, or yourself.

A fancy dinner out, a movie session at home, or a night of dancing are all classic choices for a reason. But if you want to try something new, do something different with your partner, like painting a portrait together, trading playlists, or doing a thrift store dare.

Enjoy your Valentine's Day, no matter what you do. Here are some fun date ideas to make it even better.

Wake Them Up with a Love Message

Feel good about Valentine's Day by leaving your partner a sweet message when they wake up. To start your romantic day, write something in lipstick or steam on the bathroom glass or leave them a note in bed. If you don't live together or are dating someone far away, these good morning texts for her and him might help.

Dine at a Five-Star Restaurant

That restaurant you've been meaning to try but have been putting off or saving for a special event? Now is the time to go (and go big!) Get more than one course, try a new type of food, or even drive into the city if you have to. Make the dinner an event to remember. Remember to make your reservation ahead of time.

Start your day with a blooming surprise

Getting Valentine flowers first thing in the morning is special. Imagine your partner waking up to the smell of fresh roses that were sent to them online or a bunch that was tied by hand and sitting next to their breakfast in bed.

You can choose from Farmerr’s Bestseller Bouquets, curated by floral designers to suit every mood, from soft romantic pastels to bold, passionate reds. Add a handwritten note or a small keepsake to make it even more personal. Before they leave for work, surprise them with flowers on the kitchen counter, by their bed, or in their car. The smallest shocks stick with you the most.

Make your bouquet unique to tell your story

When flowers mean something special to you, they mean more. Instead of the usual bunch of red roses, make a flower arrangement that shows how your journey together has changed you.

You could give them roses from your first date or sunflowers that remind them of the time you spent on vacation together. You can change everything about Farmer's online designer flower baskets, from the colors to the way they are wrapped. Adding your own touch to a flower turns it into a story full of feeling.

Send a Same-Day Surprise When You Can’t Be There

Love doesn't have to die because of distance. You can surprise your partner even if you're far away with same-day flower delivery.

Send a beautiful bouquet of roses to their home or place of work, timed to arrive with a thoughtful note. Farmerr delivers farm-fresh flowers to all of the world's big cities. Each bunch is made by hand by experts and sent out at its freshest.

It is an easy way to let them know you are there, even if you are far away.

Make their favorite treat

Surprise your loved one with this fun Valentine's Day gift idea. Pick out their favorite baked good, like cookies, cupcakes, tarts, or something else. Then, make them a tasty batch to give them. Don't forget to put it in a box and add a personal touch with a gift tag you made yourself. This lets you add a personal note that will elevate a tasty treat to a more meaningful one.

Luckily, we have a helpful guide on how to make your own gift tags. Just change the look from Christmas to something more sweet, and you're good to go. Perhaps a picture of you and your partner could be used as the tag's background.

Recall your favorite date

There may be a date that you and your partner talk about all the time. You might have been to a really beautiful place or eaten the tastiest food you've ever had. You may have also been to a concert, carnival, or exercise that you could not wait to do again.

No matter what your best memory is, why not relive it on Valentine's Day? Don't forget to take lots of pictures so you can remember it for years to come!

Take a class in pottery

Don't buy gifts this year; instead, put the money toward a painting class for two. You can be messy and artistic, and after you fry or dry your pottery, you can give it to each other.

Have a good time at the planetarium

Like Ross and Rachel (no, not with the break thing), go on a date to a planetarium and look up at the stars. With this unique Valentine's Day idea, you can look up at the stars even if you live in a city or somewhere cold.

Plan a romantic trip

What could be more fun than taking a love trip for Valentine's Day? Even though you'll need to plan this ahead of time, your significant other will be amazed at how careful you are.
