Seven of the Best Valentine’s Day Activities

Host a Movie Marathon

Movie lovers will swoon over this cozy at-home date idea. A great movie marathon, curated by you and your Valentine, is about to begin right in your living room. Set the tone with candles, lots of pillows, warm blankets, or pull out your mattress to create a comfy spot in front of the fireplace. Grab your popcorn and pour two glasses of wine to make it special, so you can settle in and enjoy. 

Cook a Romantic Dinner Together

Spend some time in the kitchen with your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day. Enjoy an afternoon together cooking a wonderful meal complete with desserts. Whip up a dinner fit for royalty with appetizers, salad or soup, a favorite main course, and the most delicious homemade desserts. Have a little fun and don’t take cooking today too seriously. Bask in the romance from the moment you add the first ingredient to your final bite. 

Learn a Ballroom Dance

Turn up the romantic music and guide your sweetheart to the dance floor this Valentine’s Day. Let your feet do the talking as you dance the day away with your love. Find a virtual ballroom dance class or a tutorial online and learn something new together. You’ll surely be a hit at the next wedding you attend.

Send Beautiful Blooms

Don’t keep all the romance to yourself, spread the love this Valentine’s Day with beautiful blooms. While you cuddle up next to your sweetheart, select the perfect flowers to send to your friends, family, neighbors, or whoever you think could use a little reminder that they’re in your heart. Find some classic roses or brighten the day with something bold, like our “Red Alert Bouquet.” 

Enjoy a Self-Care Yoga Class

Today is all about showing yourself love and grace, too. That means it’s okay to escape the world and enjoy all the “me time” you can. Start your day with a virtual yoga class and find your center first thing in the morning to set yourself up for a great afternoon. 

Make Some Homemade Gifts

Add some creativity and generosity to your Valentine’s Day plans with a craft night.  Think sweet cards, elaborate love notes, handmade gifts, cute origami, and anything else your imagination can dream up. Deliver some thoughtful pieces to friends and family or even your neighbors, hospitals, or nursing homes to help share the love. 

Build a Romantic Jigsaw

What’s so romantic about a jigsaw? When there’s nowhere to go but your living room, make the most of it. Find a fun picture that reminds you of an adventure or simply makes you happy, and work together with your Valentine to complete the puzzle. See how well you work side-by-side while you cozy up.

We can’t wait to see what you have in store to celebrate love. Will you be enjoying a day of self-love and pampering, or staying cozy with your honey? However you decide, here at Boyd’s Flowers, we are wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day!
