This year’s Valentine’s Day is going to look a little different since we’re in a pandemic. However, the meaning behind it remains the same, spend time with someone you love or give yourself self-love.

Here are some activity ideas that you can do while at home:

Turn a room at your home into a massage spa, have a candle lit dinner, or a combination of both. You could order a portable massage gun or use your hands and massage oil. You can get creative and leave cute little gifts or notes along the way, or give your partner some flowers, a stuffed animal, and chocolate. You can also make it a romantic movie night.https://www.instagram.com/p/CKuWJb8pgHD/https://www.instagram.com/p/CKkpaW6AccS/When giving flowers, consider supporting a local florist in your area, or check out these cool deals. When giving chocolate, strawberries are always a good idea or, these breakable hearts are the newest “thing” people are into. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzRRqbngWa/If you and your partner enjoy cocktails and cooking together, consider a custom cocktail party kit that you can order online or find at a store. You can also try a virtual cooking class. If cooking isn’t your thing, order take out and sign up for art of seduction class or a virtual painting class where you have the freedom of sipping as much wine as you want while at home.
