Celebrate Valentine’s Day at home with these 10 indoor activities for a special day alone or with your loved one.
Valentine’s Day is almost here — do you have plans? It may feel more challenging to come up with something fun when you’ll spend the day at home. If you can’t think of anything besides going out for a traditional dinner, check out these 10 indoor activities to enjoy your Valentine’s Day alone or with a loved one. You don’t have to leave home to have a great time.
1. Relax in a Bath
It’s always a good day to treat yourself to a hot bath. The warm water will relax your muscles after a tense week at work or school. Break out any bath bombs or face masks you have to turn your bathroom into a spa.
Pamper yourself by using holistic bubble bath soap and listening to calming music. You can take advantage of the quiet to reflect on what you love about your life.
2. Watch a Romantic Movie
Going to the movies is a classic Valentine’s Day date, but you’ll have a broader selection of films at home. Look online for a romantic film that will make you and your partner swoon. Whether it debuted over a decade ago or is one of the latest Hollywood hits, you can make your night even more special by watching it on a projector. You’ll create a night you’ll never forget, especially with a delicious bowl of popcorn to share.
3. Make a Fancy Meal Together
Pick a new recipe or one of your favorites and make it with your loved one. You could wear funny aprons and play romantic music while you cook. Don’t forget that every fancy meal needs the perfect dinnerware set. Now is the time to break out your wedding china for a romantic night in.
4. Play the Newlywed Game
The Newlywed Game isn’t just for wedding receptions. It’s also an excellent game for learning more about your partner. Find a list of questions online or buy a set of trivia cards to dive into deep conversations. You’ll also share plenty of laughs while lounging on your cozy couch long into the night.
If you’re spending time with your best friend on Valentine’s Day, look into friendship trivia. You’ll get the same types of conversations going without the need for a romantic partner. Just set up a comfortable place to hang out, and your fun night will be ready to go.
5. Have a Spa Night
Everyone deserves a spa night, especially on Valentine’s Day. Transform your home into the ultimate getaway by stocking up on spa treatment supplies. Cut cucumbers for your eyes and find hydrating lotion for your legs. Turn on an essential oil diffuser to combine aromatherapy with a relaxing manicure or massage. You’ll save money and still feel rejuvenated at the end of your night.
6. Unwind With Yoga
There are so many yoga classes online. You can choose from free videos or virtual courses and indulge in spiritual relaxation for Valentine’s Day. Enjoy stretching by yourself or make it a group activity with your favorite person. Even if you’ve never tried it before, a quick yoga class will start your day with positive energy.
7. Hire a Private Chef
Instead of ordering takeout, schedule a session with a private chef. They teach people one-on-one and in group settings so everyone can learn more about the culinary world. Find an instructor who will make your favorite food and enjoy each bite on a new kitchen table that pulls your interior design together.
8. Host an Indoor Picnic
The weather is still pretty chilly in February, so going outside doesn’t sound very fun. A romantic date like a picnic may not happen under a clear blue sky, but it can still occur indoors. Put finger foods and sandwiches in a basket and eat them on a blanket in your living room. You can even use a sunlight machine to recreate a sunny afternoon in a park if your picnic can only happen after sunset.
Finish your picnic with a sweet treat, like s’mores. You can make them more fun by mixing up the classic ingredients. Try making cookie s’mores by swapping the graham crackers with Oreos or chocolate chip cookies.
9. Take an Online Class
Learning something new is always a thrill. Think about a skill you’d like to develop or something you’d enjoy doing with your favorite person. There’s likely a virtual class you can start on Valentine’s Day to pass the time and have fun. Keep track of everything in your favorite notebook, and you’ll never forget your incredible experience.
10. Complete a Puzzle
Why not solve a puzzle for your Valentine’s Day activity? You can choose from 300 to 1,000 pieces and finish the day with a picture worthy of framing in your home. As long as you have a comfortable place to sit and music playing in the background, you can spend hours working on your puzzle by yourself or with your loved ones.
