Things You Can Do on Your First Valentine’s Day
1. A Good Old Spa
Nothing heals the holiday hangover better than a long and lazy spa date. After months of partying and socializing, the two of you need some rest and relaxation. Rejuvenate the senses as well as the love and spend some much-needed quality time over scented candles and invigorating massage sessions.
2. The PJ Playlist
Song playlists are for kids. Legends create PJ playlists, which are compilations of all the bad jokes you share as a couple. Make a short video with this list and don’t forget to add the “fake laughs” in the background for a little bit of drama. If you want to take the old school route, you can write these PJs out on small cards and place them in different parts of the house, or mail them to your SO. Pretty hilarious, we think!
3. The Karaoke Couple
Couples who karaoke together, stay together! Set up a karaoke machine at home, connect it to your TV, make sure the speakers work and belt out your favorite love songs. There are plenty of apps that can help liven things. So, turn up the heat and the volume this Valentine’s Day as you serenade each other.
The internet may churn out a bunch of first valentine’s day gifts and ideas for couples but in the end, you have to do what feels right for the two of you. The best gifts don’t have to be expensive, but they sure have to be expressive. Relax, enjoy the day with your bae and make memories along the way.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
