Valentine’s Day is great and all, but especially if you’ve been with someone for a while, there no real need to put a bunch of effort into making the day special. So if you still want to do a little something for valentines day, but aren’t feeling the motivation, here are 11 ideas you can try out:
1. Watch a movie from Redbox while eating from your favorite takeout place
One of my personal favorite activities is watching a movie while eating food. I have the enjoyment of entertainment as well as the enjoyment of wonderfully unhealthy food. So grab your SO (significant other) and do it together.
2. Take a nap together
One of the other great joys in life is sleep-- so why not share it with someone you love?
3. Sit on the bed and take couples photos with funny Snapchat filters
Everyone can take a picture with the hearts filter-- but what about the tomato?
4. Play a board game
Yes, I know they’re called “bored” games for a reason, but try something classic, like Chutes and Ladders or Sorry.
5. Take a bath
This requires a larger bathtub and a familiarity with seeing each other naked, but nothing can go wrong with warm water, candles, and maybe a little scented bubble bath.
6. Make a blanket fort
We’re all still kids at heart.
7. Cuddle up in blankets while drinking hot chocolate and watching Netflix
Watching Netflix might be a regular activity for you two, but have you ever tried it with cozy blankets? And hot chocolate?
8. Make snow angels
Chances are there will be snow on the ground in February, so make the most of the chilly days.
9. Create a couple's Spotify playlist
It can be for when you’re in the car, just hanging out, or something a little more romantic. Pick songs and artists you both like and make your own playlist.
10. Do a craft together
Depending on how skilled you both are, a craft could range from cutting out paper snowflakes to scrapbooking to painting.
11. Have Valentine’s Day after Valentine's Day-- go to Target and buy all the candy on sale
This way you can still get your SO chocolate but only pay half the price.
