Another thing you can do to celebrate Valentine’s Day is try a new activity, make a new recipe, or take up a new hobby. It’ll clear your mind and can stimulate creativity and improve your mood.
Try some home baking, make your own face cream with essential oils, or start learning power yoga, watercolour painting, or latte art. No matter what you choose to do, trying something new will do you immense good—and who knows, you might even discover a new passion.

Make Valentine’s Day special by donating a few hours of your time to charity or to help someone in need. You can also do a good deed, such as shovelling your neighbour’s driveway or smiling at a stranger. They might seem trivial, but small gestures like these have the power to make someone’s day better. And giving can be as satisfying as receiving.

Making someone happy can be as simple as disconnecting from your digital devices and spending quality time with them. Put your cellphone away, turn off your computer, and stay off social media. Make time for just the two of you to get away from it all:
Get dressed warmly and go out. Create new memories to share! Finally, you can always bookend this special day with the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift: a box of chocolates!

Take advantage of Valentine’s Day to cook a meal for two. Make something out of the ordinary! Cook a dish you’ve never tried before or a meal inspired by a new ingredient or one of your favourite vacations.
You can also create a four-course menu of aphrodisiacs. Split up the task by cooking two dishes each, without telling the other person what you’re up to. Play your favourite music while you cook and enjoy reconnecting with the person you love.
For dessert, treat yourself to chocolate fondue!

Organizing an at-home spa day is another great Valentine’s Day activity you can try. It’s the perfect way to escape and enjoy a romantic moment without leaving your cozy nest. Treat yourself to a scented bath with candles, a massage, and your favourite reading material.
Here are a few suggestions for a successful spa session:
