1.  Make a Love List.

The list should be full of silly, sweet, funny, poignant reasons why you love someone. Keep this list and when you’re mad or disappointed, read this list! When you’re happy and in love, add to this list. Reading this list to your partner is a great way to spark your love life!

2.  Share the things on your Love List.

Share your intimate feelings of the things you love about them in fun creative ways. Mail ‘em in a card. Send one text message every hour. Write them on notes and hide them in their shoes or coat pockets. Make a poster. Leave voice messages on their phone. Do something out of the ordinary that will take their breath away!

3.  Meet for the first time.

Pretend like you are meeting your spouse or beau for the first time. Choose someplace new, where neither of you have ever been. Arrive separately. Catch eyes across the restaurant or café. Introduce yourselves using names you just made up that suit your mood. See them (and yourself) anew.

4.  Notice.

Surprise your partner with something you know they have been wanting to do, get, or have. You make a candlelight dinner and give them that special attention they crave or you buy him that gizmo he’s been drooling over or offer a hour-long massage and kissfest. This is the perfect time to show them you notice what they say and what they like and give them that without them having to ask first.

5.  Be that person.

Be the dashing, witty, sexy, romantic, fun person you have always longed to be in relationship with! Dress up in sexy clothes, tell funny jokes, focus on the positive, talk to strangers, be dynamic and magnetic. Be fresh and new. Don’t think about the past or hold grudges. Do things in new ways. Chose joy.

6.  Listen.

Focus all of your attention on them. (Try reflective listening in which you actually repeat back verbatim each sentence they say. It is amazing how good it feels to the recipient to know someone hears every word!).  Ask if they have anything else they want to share on the subject. It feels good when your partner actually wants to hear more of what you have to say! This can be a surprisingly thoughtful gift.

7.  Something new.

Try something new together that you’ve always wanted to do. Now.  New things can breath new life into a relationship. Sometimes we need to get out of old ruts and stir things up. Ideas for new things may include but are not limited to write love letters, try a scavenger hunt, attend a virtual cooking class together, find some live music and enjoy!

8.  Be silly and fun. 

Put on your favorite music and dance. Have a sword fight with foam swords. Speak in feigned accents. (When my beau says, “Hey Boo Boo” like Yogi Bear, it is impossible not to laugh!) Make your own photo booth with silly props. Go to a comedy club and laugh!

9.  10 photos.

Collect and print out your ten favorite photos of the two of you in which you’re truly happy. Hang them someplace you’ll see them often. Let yourself feel the joy again and again and again. Talk about the best Valentine’s day gifts!

10.  Be vulnerable.

Tell something you wouldn’t tell anyone else or that you’ve been afraid to say.  This is one that gets overlooked often but it is through our open hearts that we can really connect.

Most of these ideas are not things you can buy at the store, so they require a little extra work! However, it will be worth it to make your Valentine’s Day together one of the best and most romantic ones yet.

11.  Choose connection.

Put on a romantic playlist and enjoy a romantic evening at home. Be receptive to their thoughts over being right or proving a point. (Ooh, that is hard. But wow, does it pay off in spades!) Just listen and see their point of view. They don’t need you to prove that you are smarter or better or righter. Let this be their day to really be heard for what they have to say and what they think and feel.

12.  Explore together. 

Sometimes you need to pretend you are a tourist and get out and see the sights, experience the attractions, go on a mini road trip or a weekend getaway. Try a fancy new cocktail bar or go on some new museum dates- whatever suits your taste.

13.  Be present.

This is one of the most important Valentines Day ideas for couples. This is the number one best way to connect — and the very best gift you can give. Put the phone away for the whole day!

14.  Love yourself.

Loving the one you’re with starts with YOU. If you love and enjoy yourself, you’re well on your way to loving whatever wonderful and imperfect Valentine is in your life. Make a love list for you and feel good about yourself as you interact with your loved one. This is the perfect opportunity to put on your sexy tone and tell them the things that they do that make you feel loved. You are sure to like the way they respond.

15.  Get out in nature together. 

Go for a hike or stroll through the park. Notice nature and talk about the beauty that you see. Sometimes nature is the perfect way to recharge and remember how blessed we are with the beauties and miracles of life.  Making memories like this together are important.

16. Recreate your first date

Take your partner out to the same place where you had first met or had your first date. Order the same food, wear the same clothes and let them know that nothing has changed from then to now, except for the fact that your bond has just become stronger. This will be the perfect gift to show your love.

17. Make your partner a card

Making your own Valentine’s Day heart shape card is a great way to show you care. You can write from the heart and include a love quote as well. Use wood scraps wrapping paper, and/or ribbons to decorate. Reach into your crafting supply box and express yourself in a way that shows your love with a traditional card or wall art they can enjoy year round.

Do not underestimate the value of cute valentine’s day gifts like these. They seem little but they can say a lot. In the times of e-cards, your partner will surely appreciate if you make time to create a thoughtful card for them. A heartfelt message and a nice piece of art will make their day.  You can even take the “What I Love About You” Challenge and decorate a whole wall!

18. Go Wild With Decorations

You can decorate their room. This could apply to the bedroom, living room, office, or garage work space as you know what they would enjoy the most. You are sure to have a good time spreading signs of your love around the room and they will love all the tangible signs of your love. Balloons, flowers, candles, cupcakes, cozy slippers, a love note, or other Valentine decorations make wonderful thoughtful gifts.

19. Plan a trip

Last but not least of my creative valentine ideas is a getaway. What better Valentine gift than getting to reconnect with each other on a relaxing trip? Plan a weekend getaway with your valentine and explore beautiful places while being with the one who matters the most. This is a great way to bond and a great way to be romantic all at the same time! The gift of time devoted to the person you love is always special.

20. Make time for some love

Making love is an important part of being in love. So this V-Day, make sure that you let your partner know that they still light your fire of desire. Show them some special love and let your moves blow their minds away! This just may be the most popular of my Valentine’s Day ideas among men.

Conclusion

Coming up with creative Valentine’s Day gifts can make the celebration more special. Whether it is personalized coupons for activities or a personalized photo album with special memories, there are lots of ways to say I love YOU. Remember, the most important thing is to tailor the gift to your partner’s interests and preferences. Adding a personal touch makes the gift more meaningful.

Routine can sometimes lead to monotony in a relationship. Trying new activities or revisiting old ones with a fresh perspective adds variety and excitement, keeping the relationship dynamic and interesting. Activities often evoke emotions, and sharing these emotional experiences with a partner can deepen emotional intimacy. It allows for vulnerability and a better understanding of each other’s feelings.

In summary, couples activities play a vital role in nurturing a healthy and fulfilling relationship. They contribute to emotional connection, communication, and overall relationship satisfaction, making them an essential aspect of maintaining a strong and lasting bond. Sometime love is in the little things. The way we treat each other says volumes about how we feel deep down. Let your inner well of love guide all your interactions.
