- Play a game
According to psychological studies playing a game together with your partner equals heartwarming physical contact. It activates oxytocin, the love hormone. On this special day organize a board game with the one you adore and catch the love in the air.
- Go stargazing
What can be more special than a romantic stargazing tour on Valentine’s Day? Plus, a wine picnic on the roof and a heart-to-heart. Make it happen this year and you’ll never forget that day.
- Ride a boat
Riding a boat is another romantic and adventurous Valentine’s Day date idea for couples. Book a boat tour and feel the love waves together.
- Take a pottery class
Similar to playing a game, taking an art class with your partner gives you a dose of happiness. In addition to that, playing with clay is always calming and therapeutic. You both will like that new experience.
- Have a SPA day
The rules of the “game” are simple: turn off your social media notifications and turn on the relaxing mood with the one you love. Reserve a visit at the nearest SPA center. This Valentine’s Day activity is appropriate both for married and fresh couples.
- Go to a concert
If you’re a go-out couple, rather than stay home all day, then going to a concert and enjoying some good music is all you need to refresh. If you live in San Francisco, we found a guide to some fun concerts in SF.
- Drink Wine at your favorite restaurant
At first, the idea of having a wine date seems simple, but what if you spice everything up?
At your favorite restaurant, don’t just drink wine, but play “Never have I ever” with your partner. Whether you have been dating recently or for years, this game will reveal things you didn’t know about your partner.
Every time you answer “I have”, take a sip of wine.
What can I do for her on Valentine’s Day to make her feel special?
Women are sometimes hard to impress, but everything gets easier when you know her character. So, before making up a perfect date with her or searching for a perfect gift for her on Valentine’s day, try to remember her most specific traits.
Let’s see what women with different characteristics mostly like to get as Valentine’s gifts, or how they like to be treated.
Romantic Lady
Does she like everything sweet, pinky, and fluffy? Let’s call her a romantic lady. She’s 100% obsessed with delicate flowers and stuffed toys.
So if you want to make your romantic lady feel special on Valentine’s Day get her an adorable gift set of fresh roses, chocolates, and a super fluffy bear. Don’t forget to add a handwritten greeting card, with a heartwarming message.
When it comes to a date idea with your romantic lady, take her to a cute place where you can have talks and cuddles.
Fire lady
If she does everything gracefully, has a never-ending sparkle inside, yet looks quiet then she’s the “fire lady” type.
A pair of elegant earrings will warm her heart on Valentine’s Day. You can get them on Etsy, Amazon, or at the jewelry store near you.
The fire lady will like a date idea where she can get her delicate dress and effortlessly shine all day. You can invite her to a wine date in a fancy restaurant or maybe to an art gallery.
Mysterious lady
You’ll never guess what she’s up to. She’s a little bit dreamy but when it comes to goals, she’s a getter. She’s silent but deep down she has the most interesting things to say.
If you find this looks like your girl, then she’s the “mysterious” type. What you can give your mysterious lady to make her feel special on Valentine’s Day is your time.
You can spend your Valentine’s Day doing random stuff from recreating your first date to taking a new class. She may not always like everything planned.
Get her something she’ll never expect – something personalized, for example, a personalized music box.
As a completing part get her seductive black and white roses bouquet.
What can I do for him on Valentine’s Day to make her feel special?
All the stereotypes aside, men are different, and there's no universal gift or gesture that will make ANY man feel special.
Let’s see what are the main categories of men and how you can surprise the special man in your life according to his traits.
Mr. Adventurous
If he leads an active life and likes to gain new experiences by visiting new places, tasting new food, etc, then he’s the most flexible “adventurous” type.
Usually, you can make an adventurous man feel loved and special by dating him in unusual places. You can go ski-diving with him. It will give you and especially him a dose of adrenaline.
A material gift for an adventurous man can be anything warm and comfy that will come in handy while climbing a mountain, riding a bike, etc. Another gift is a waterproof power bank, which is essential as well while going into the wild.
Mr. Philosopher
He’s into deep intellectual conversations, likes to have debates, rarely romantic yet likes thoughtful gifts and attention. If this is about your man, here is how you can surprise him.
Being intellectual doesn’t mean he likes to read all the time, so let’s exclude books. Instead, get him a capturing intellectual board game to play with his friends or with you. You can find a selection of great intellectual board games on Amazon.
Mr. Emotional
Who said men can’t be emotional? Some men can feel everything deeply and that’s what makes them special. Usually, this kind of man creates strong bonds and appreciates every little thing his significant other does for him.
A perfect Valentine’s day gift for him would be something connected to you both, for example, a mug with your photo or a ring with a cute message.
How to be romantic on Valentine’s Day in a distant relationship?

Couples in distance relationships can’t celebrate Valentine’s Day the way other couples do. But there are lots of romantic and original ideas to express and celebrate your love when you’re apart.

Send gifts
Who said you can’t surprise your partner miles away by sending him/her cute and romantic gifts? Make this Valentine’s Day special and send him/her something interesting you’ve never done.
Take a relationship quiz
No matter how long you have been dating your partner, there’s always room to know him or her better. On this Valentine’s day get honest with your significant other and take a relationship quiz together.
Send romantic messages
Don’t underestimate the power of words, especially when you’re in a long-distance relationship and chat a lot. Carefully chosen yet genuine words can make the day of your sweetheart.
Make karaoke night
Sing your heart out this Valentine’s Day with your partner. Having fun by singing your favorite songs doesn’t require special equipment. Have a video call and turn on an instrumental version of a song on Youtube on your laptop.
