*Old wine in new bottle? Really doesn’t matter if you know how to live life to the fullest. This V-day love a little more!
Valentine’s Day is an opportunity for lovers of all ages to add some fuel to the love fire. However, candlelit dinners and dozens of roses have become a little overdone. Whether you’ve just met or had an age-old bond, here is a list of alternative things you can do to help ignite the spark on this special day. The chocolate is probably still welcome though!
Go star watching
When was the last time you saw the stars? It sounds filmy but it’s actually a very magical activity to do with your loved one. Even if you live in the city, drive for 30 minutes towards the countryside and you’ll be able to see the stars clearly. Take a blanket, lie on your backs, stargaze and share your thoughts and memories. And if you are more into adventure, how about a trip to the Saint Martin Island, the best place in Bangladesh to observe shooting stars?
Eat your favourite food
Can’t get time off from work this Valentine’s? Recreate it at home instead.
Think about your favourite couple holiday destination and create a picnic of treats from that particular place. This might involve a bit of forward-planning if your favourite is somewhere far-flung and terribly exotic, but if you happen to love France or Spain, think baguettes, brie, paella, cold meats etc. Print off any holiday photos you have and enjoy flicking through them together. If the holiday spirits get you in a frisky mode, make sure to keep it safe but exciting with Amour.
Organise a cinema night
Beat the crowds and go all out with a film night at home. We’re talking blankets, popcorn, pick n mix, ice cream – you name it!
If the weather is fine, you could even head outdoors. Go for a classic rom-com you can find or anything that you two enjoy. Don’t forget, Netflix and chill can lead anywhere…!
Go on a late night adventure and avoid the restaurant-and-roses crowd
If you don’t like the idea of spending your Valentines surrounded by other couples, head out at an unusual time. The majority will be at restaurants or the cinema so you’ll be free to visit a late-night exhibition, take a late night stroll or listen to some live music.
Organise a group meal with couples and singles
Why not try to organise a large dinner with all your friends including your single friends?
It is a day of love after all, and who’s to say that has to be between couples alone?
Head out to a karaoke bar and sing your heart out
Valentine’s doesn’t have to be a formal event! Dare your partner to sing a song in front of a whole bar of people and vice versa. Choose your song or just your favourite anthem. It’s an evening you’ll never forget.
Do whatever you want but don’t forget that love is essential in every single of our lives. Be happy and make love!
