Advice from experts on what to do on Valentines Part I

What I found by reading the news! "When it comes to celebrating Valentine's Day, we all aim to make the day extra-special for our loved ones. That may mean the traditional romantic dinner and exchange of homemade Valentine's Day gifts, but doing something a little more creative and one-of-a-kind can help show your main squeeze how much they really mean to you. Here is a list of 10 things to consider. "

1

Go Sledding

Bundle up and get those endorphins flowing with a trip to the sledding hill. Break out the old toboggan if you've got one or head to a tubing place that pulls you back up if you don't want to hike to the top each time. Bonus: You can't share a sled without cuddling.

2

Go Thrift Shopping

The only thing more fun than thrifting or antiquing is doing with it your main squeeze. Challenge each other to find the zaniest, most unique item or create whole new looks for each other. You'll definitely make some memories, even if you don't find treasures.

3

Play Tourist

Look at your own city or town with fresh eyes by getting out and exploring it like tourists. Wander main street and check out kitschy shops, check out local landmarks or just take a meandering walk through an area you don't usually explore to gain a fresh perspective and some quality time.

4

Order Off the Dollar Menu

Who says you need to spend a ton of money to have a great time? Indulge your fast food cravings and order off the dollar menu. For less than $10 each, you'll have a night of food and laughs, and you'll feel great knowing you can put your cash towards something else you both want in the future.

5

Take a Scenic Drive

Put together a road trip-worthy playlist and hit the pavement, even just for a spin around town. There's something about driving that gets conversation flowing, especially if you're just tooling around looking out the window.

6

Enjoy Breakfast in Bed

Start the day off right by serving up a romantic Valentine's Day breakfast, then enjoying it together while lounging in bed while still in your pjs. Don't forget the chocolates! 

7

Go on a Hike

Get your blood moving to heat things up in a more, shall we say, wholesome way. Take a scenic hike together and enjoy all the beautiful sights and the fresh air. It'll strengthen your bond while getting some much-needed time away from your devices, too.

8

Exchange Love Letters

Make Valentine's Day even more special by putting into words why your partner means so much to you. Get really specific and super personal, for a letter that will become a keepsake.

9

Hold a Game Night

For those with a competitive streak (or who just like some good, old-fashioned fun), an exciting night of board games will make Valentine's Day memorable. Up the ante will a friendly wager or two.

10

Make Some Crafts

Get creative and enjoy a special Valentine's Day craft night complete with your favorite beverages, snacks and plenty of fun. You can make each other a DIY Valentine's Day gift, or even compete to see who can make the most creative craft!
