Lovers around the world are looking forward to the most romantic holiday - Valentine's Day. You want to give a dear and beloved person tenderness, warmth, care and remind you of your feelings a thousand times. The most touching gift is the one made with your own hands. It can be more expensive than the largest diamond, warmer than the most exquisite fur coat, more delicate than the finest silk.
What is made by the hands of a dear person with great love cannot but bring joy to his other half. Don't be sad if you don't consider yourself a jack of all trades. These gifts are very easy to make, and the joy from them will be no less than from store-bought ones.
1. Box “100 reasons”
This is a touching gift that can be enjoyed for many days. Take a beautiful gift box, you can stick your shared photo on the lid. Write down on neatly cut pieces of paper the reasons why you fell in love with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Fold the pieces of paper several times and put them in a box. Some handmade artists recommend using a decorated jar. Everything is according to your taste and desires. But whatever you choose, write sincerely, then the gift will be unforgettable.
2. Collage
It seems that collage is the easiest gift you can make with your hands. You glue your photos onto a piece of paper, and that’s it! But this is not entirely true. If you choose photographs that capture the most special moments of your loved one’s life, add touching captions to them, and decorate them with a beautiful frame, believe me, you will pleasantly surprise your dear half.3. Crossword
This is a gift that must be made not only with your own hands, but also with your mind. Create a themed crossword puzzle about Valentine's Day or your special dates and places. And the main phrase in the middle of the crossword puzzle can indicate the location of the main gift or a declaration of love.
4. Photo puzzle
Make your group photo large. You can stick it on cardboard to make it easier to assemble the puzzle. Cut out the puzzle pieces beautifully. To avoid spoiling it, draw the outlines with a pencil from the back. Pack it in a beautiful box and sign it. I think such a gift should appeal to your loving soul mate.
5. Handmade photo album
Now this is called the fashionable word “scrapbooking”. The flight of imagination is unlimited here. At home you can find a lot of ribbons, beads, rhinestones, you can use dried flowers. Be sure to sign the photo in an interesting way. For decoration, you can use old postcards, pieces of fabric, lace and other things dear to your heart.
6. Lottery tickets
Give your loved one lottery tickets, each of which is a winner. On such tickets you can write declarations of love or wishes that you will fulfill for a loved one. To make such a ticket yourself, all you need is a little acrylic paint and dishwashing liquid. We dilute 2:1 and apply our “protective coating”. It dries quite quickly. To make the gift even nicer, pack the tickets in a beautiful envelope or box, and to make the surprise more fun, you can write cool tasks on the lottery tickets.
7. Vitamins for love
To do this, take a beautiful jar and remove the label from it. You can stick your own label on it, you can decorate the jar. Buy your loved one’s favorite sweets, remove the wrappers, wrap them in foil, you can write interesting comments on the foil: “vitamin A”, “for a magical night”, “for sweet kisses”.
8. Video clip
It can also be a touching gift for your special someone. Of course, you will have to work hard, but it will be worth it! Remember how many different videos you have. Sometimes we forget that we were filmed. You can ask your girlfriend's or boyfriend's friends to film interesting moments for you. Undoubtedly, this gift will not leave your loved one indifferent.9. Music selection
To please your soul mate, you need to know her preferences well. Between songs you can insert your own remarks: declarations of love, funny memories, wishes.10. Book of poems
This is a very romantic gift for a loving heart. Of course, you don’t need to write a book yourself, unless you are a real poet and have something to brag about. To make such a book yourself, you need to take a beautiful notebook or notepad and write the most beautiful poems about love there. You can find poems that characterize your soul mate. The cover can be decorated with decorative ribbons, dried flowers, stones - anything that pleases your imagination.
11. Origami in the shape of a heart
Origami is not just a hobby. This is real art. You can make a real miracle out of ordinary paper. A very relevant gift for Valentine's Day can be modular origami, which is made up of individual folded pieces of paper and connected with glue. These origami are quite durable. If you make a heart-shaped basket, you can store small things in it or serve sweets.
In general, I have heard many legends and rumors about the origin of this holiday, however, for me personally, Valentine’s Day will always remain another reason to show my love for the person dearest and closest to me - my husband. And, of course, give some nice little gift to your beloved grandmother - my grandfather and I used to be a bright couple - Valentin and Valentina.
en.fotolia.comEveryone spends this day differently: some grunt skeptically and, out of principle, do not recognize a foreign holiday, some simply have a blast in a club, forgetting about all the conventions and their long-standing desire to live with one person all their lives, and some cook a grand or simple and very sweet holiday for your soulmate.
If you rather consider yourself to be in the latter category and are already tired of coming up with something interesting for your husband, this article is just for you! Let's think of something special together for such a wonderful holiday! I made a list of 50 ideas that are perfect for celebrating Valentine's Day.
1. Theme evening
Nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with a themed party, but you can always modernize your evening a little. For such a case, you will have to prepare in advance. It all depends on what your husband loves most (well, besides you, of course). Let it be some movie, game, book or even a cartoon. You will need to choose one scene and recreate the entire setting and characters from there.
First, take care of your costumes. You don’t have to buy expensive costumes in stores; you can make them yourself. At the same time, no one forces you to sew them day and night, reproducing everything down to the smallest detail (no, unless, of course, you have enough strength, money, patience and time - then please, it will be really cool!). But you don’t have to worry too much and just make everything out of paper or cardboard. After the holiday has passed, you can safely throw it all away, and both of you will be left with only memories and photographs.
Learn the text, record the soundtrack for this game, movie or cartoon. It may be a battle with ketchup and plastic swords, but you will have a good laugh, take photos, and such an evening will be remembered for a long time.
I am sure that your loved one will appreciate this celebration of Valentine's Day. Even if it won’t be full of paper pink hearts, rose petals on the floor and in the bathroom, but you’ve probably already been through all this, and you’ve never had such fun.
2. Costume trip to a restaurant
Here I, of course, do not mean that you should dress up in Ninja Turtle costumes and go to a restaurant like that. I don’t mind at all, but they simply won’t let you in there.
As children, we all dreamed of being like Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren or Brigitte Bardot. Why not make this dream come true? Give yourself a chic, fluffy curly hairstyle or, on the contrary, beautifully pull your hair back, pull yourself in at the waist and put on a charming retro dress, glue on thick eyelashes and draw a mole over your upper lip - in general, completely recreate the style of the mid-20th century, but please, correctly place accents, otherwise it will turn out to be a hodgepodge.
For your husband, also choose an image from that time; choose the inspiration yourself. I can recommend you the charismatic Marlon Brando or the earlier “King of Hollywood” - Clark Gable - slicked back hair, mustache, elegant style of clothing. They'll make a great couple!
All eyes will be on you; you will remember this evening for a long time. In addition, you can add an emphasis to all this - play your role to the end. It seems to me that such a romantic evening will make you two fall in love with each other again, but isn’t this happiness?
en.fotolia.com I agree with some naysayers who say that Valentine's Day is not the only day of the year on which you should show each other your love. You have your whole life for this. But why not make this day even more special? Or, for example, on this day start fulfilling long-cherished dreams?
Do this evening what you have dreamed of for a very long time! It could be anything: hot air balloon flight(oh, how romantic!), parachute jump(imagine how great it will be together, holding hands and enjoying the wonderful views of the surrounding area), wind tunnel flight or horse riding. In my opinion, these are just great ideas for such a romantic holiday! Besides, having tried it once, you will probably want to repeat all these things again, although you only dreamed about it before.
Of course, everything that I have just listed will cost you a pretty penny, so you should start preparing for such celebrations in advance, again. But there are also cheaper fun. Have you always dreamed of snowboarding? Or swim in the pool? I don’t see anything wrong with not gorging yourself on all sorts of goodies at night, but spending this time on your health, especially if the two of you still can’t get together to take care of yourself. How about a guitar lesson? Usually, after you try once, such things begin to drag on, so why not make Valentine's Day the beginning of your new life, which includes time for music, sports and extreme entertainment?
4. Double, triple and quadruple dates
Why not celebrate this day with your friends? Especially if, like me, your company consists entirely of married couples!
First, get the girls together and think about what competitions there will be and who will compete with whom? You can first arrange competitions between a boys' team and a girls' team, and then move on to doubles teams.
Competitions can be completely different, it all depends on your imagination and the number of people. For example, cut large hearts with congratulations into small pieces and distribute them to teams; whoever collects them faster wins.
Or compete in sleight of hand to see who can assemble a figurine using the origami technique the fastest (it’s better, of course, to pick up instructions). Also suitable here are competitions like: who will burst all the balloons the fastest (and inside which, for example, are valentines and small gifts) or who will put the most heart-shaped cookies and sweets into their mouth and be able to shout to their beloved or loved one: “I love you!” (in the style of "Plump Bunny") and so on.
And then you can all order a lot of delicious food from the restaurant or go there with your whole cheerful and noisy company. Just order food or a table in advance, otherwise that evening everything is usually already booked and booked.
5. Home “picnic”
en.fotolia.com If you are an ardent fan of camping romance, this item is especially for you! Surely, you have a tent at home, a lot of blankets, a small gas stove or something like that. Just don’t light a fire at home, nothing good will come of this idea. You can point a starry sky projector at the ceiling or simply hang a garland. Take a guitar and sing your favorite songs to each other or tell scary stories, as you usually do during real hikes.
If you only want to simulate a picnic, you can come up with something simpler, for example, simply laying a rug under your feet that is very similar to real grass; a projector will also work here. Place homemade props around - cardboard trees or flowers, assemble yourself a basket with food and, for example, a bottle of wine. As a background, turn on pleasant light music or just a CD with the sounds of nature.
Usually such “dates” bring up dreams of the future or, conversely, memories of the past. Isn’t it a wonderful evening on February 14th?
6. Holiday weekend
How do you like this idea – to have not just one festive evening, but all three? For example, have a picnic on Friday, go to a restaurant on Saturday, and swim in the pool or snowboard all Sunday? Extend your pleasure and you will both remember this weekend for a long time!
7. “Date” with animals
What gives us the most joy is communication with small children and, of course, animals.
These are the most sincere, cheerful, funny and sweet creatures on Earth. Of course, I do not generalize or compare children with dogs and cats, but you must agree that even on the Internet the cutest photographs and pictures are of them.
So, about animals. You can, for example, go to the zoo and spend at least the whole day there, fattening, quietly stroking and playing with the animals. Read all the characteristics of the pets, book a tour and just watch the funny specimens. Very often, zoos are combined with various terrariums, so you can learn a lot about various invertebrate animals and plants.
But you will get the most joy from communicating with animals that have not yet found their owner. You can not only feed them, pet them or tidy up their cage, but also take them for a walk! How much joy and happiness you will bring them! Or maybe after that you will give each other a gift in the form of one of the pets of this establishment.
Most often, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we stop paying attention to what is around us. And even more so there is no time left for love. Give your love to each other and share it with everyone you can on this wonderful day!
8. Photo shoot
Just recently, my husband and I arranged an almost “professional” photo shoot for each other. I don’t even remember how such an idea came to me, however, the photographs turned out very good, and how much emotion and pleasure we got! In general, I’m very shy to be photographed, I don’t know the poses that I’m good at and I don’t know how to relax when entering a certain character. Especially when even the same photographer is looking at me. This, by the way, is evidenced by very funny “professional” photographs from the registry office from our wedding day.
However, when we got dressed up and started taking pictures together, simply setting the timer on the camera, all my embarrassment disappeared and we, as they say, took pictures from the heart!
It is not necessary to order expensive photo sessions from professionals; all you need is a standard digital camera, more or less bright light and a good mood. Such photographs usually turn out to be the most natural and vivid, and the memories of them remain for a long time.
However, if you can and want to afford to use the services of a professional, of course, do it! Book yourself a photo shoot in a real studio with makeup artists and stylists and create a real portfolio for yourself! What if you are a born model? Be sure to try yourself in different images, somehow connect them with the holiday itself. And after the photos are ready, make a beautiful photo album for yourself as a souvenir. Reviewing all this beauty, you will always remember how good and fun you are together.
9. House outside the city
Thanks to the fact that this year Valentine's Day falls on a Friday, you can afford to relax all three days. And if this is possible and both of you are released from work, feel free to rent a wonderful house somewhere outside the city and spend the whole weekend together! I'm sure you'll find something to do!
Since February is still winter, there are plenty of winter activities you can do in your backyard. Build a snowman, play snowballs, go sledding down a hill or skiing somewhere in the forest, you can go ice skating at the nearest skating rink, and besides, snowboarding and snowmobiles have not been canceled.
All this, of course, is very fun, however, this year winter played a little trick and deprived some regions of the snow season. Don't be upset! No one has canceled hiking, again photo sessions in nature (usually they turn out to be the brightest and most beautiful), organize some competitions or competitions. Swing on a swing or carousel and so on.
You can do all this on Friday, but on Saturday evening you can invite guests to this wonderful house! Celebrate this wonderful holiday again, only this time all together (point number four tells you in more detail how to do this). And at night you can set off fireworks and fireworks! Just please don't forget to pick up trash after yourself.
en.fotolia.com So, you are staying at home on February 14th and can’t go anywhere? No problem! Give yourself a marathon of your favorite films. There are now a huge number of different trilogies or, for example, TV series in film distribution, so why not relax and celebrate the wonderful holiday of the unity of two hearts in their company?
Buy fast food goodies, chips, popcorn and, for example, beer or juice, buy or download more interesting films or TV series on the Internet and start “celebrating”.
My husband and I once spent the whole weekend at home watching the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy in the director's cut, and you know, it was very cool! Then we spent the whole week under the impression, because thanks to our complete detachment from reality we were completely immersed in the atmosphere of all parts.
And after some time, they succumbed to the oppression of the public and began to watch the series “Game of Thrones”. There were so many interesting and lively conversations, debates, and interesting forecasts after that.
All this means is that if active recreation is alien to both of you and most of all you like to just sit at home, there is nothing bad or abnormal in this, everyone relaxes as they want and can, and any hobby has its positive sides. And especially if you both enjoy it, why not seal your union in this way and celebrate Valentine's Day in this way?
11. Your second “first” date
en.fotolia.com This idea can be placed at the very top of the romance scale, which will certainly make a strong impression on your soulmate. You will have to strain your memory very hard and put in some effort, but believe me, it is worth it. Walk along the streets where you first kissed, order the same drinks as the first time during your date in this cafe. But don’t forget about the gift, it will add a sense of romance and value to the time spent together.
en.fotolia.com Here you need to start by studying the most interesting and delicious dishes that are perfect for two, but don’t forget about practice. It’s better, of course, to try to prepare something in advance, so as not to lose face at the most crucial moment. Despite the fact that cooking is quite a serious science, and cooking takes a lot of effort and time, the pleasure that you will receive during the “feast” will easily cover all expenses, and besides, it is much cheaper than buying ready-made dishes, which also extremely pleasant.
Don’t forget about the special surroundings of the holiday, put on your most beautiful outfit and decorate everything around, and it would be very cool if you came up with something like a menu.
13. Evening in the style of Ancient Greece
Here's another idea for celebrating a romantic Valentine's Day - a party in the style of Ancient Greece will allow you to have a very fun and interesting time, and will also give you a very interesting erotic mood. You can decorate the house with large bowls of grapes, place snow-white sheets everywhere, don’t forget about artificial props - a plastic vine is also perfect for this occasion. Hang posters of Greeks everywhere and be sure to buy as much wine as possible. A costume that will consist only of a couple of “leaves” or a light sheet will add special poignancy, which in combination with wine will lead to the most passionate thoughts.
14. Date at the shooting range
Yes, here are some unconventional ideas for you, but you must admit, it can be quite interesting and fun! This is something that will definitely make you smile and even experience some adrenaline rush. Try different types of weapons and even compete with each other somewhere in a safe area.
If the organization from which you are booking such a “date” has such an opportunity, perhaps you should even try something very powerful.
15. Expensive sports car for one day
Sometimes we should all allow ourselves at least a small piece of luxury, so to speak, to touch the glamorous lifestyle of world stars. I agree that not everyone will allow themselves to live like this every day, but from time to time, I am sure that it is worth giving such gifts to yourself. Let's play a game that will make you feel super rich one day. Dress as if you are about to be presented with the same Oscar award and feel free to go for a ride around the city in a wonderful, albeit rented, sports car.
The high speed and enchanting capabilities of such a car will intoxicate you and give you an unforgettable experience that you will definitely want to repeat.
16. Shopping
There are very few things that can trigger such a huge dose of dopamine as a good old shopping trip. Buy yourself some sexy new lingerie, nice shoes, a cute shirt and tie, a couple of new video games and everything else you've been wanting for a long time. This is a unique chance to have fun and dream together, and don’t forget that all this will go to you later, which means you can enjoy such a purchase for a long time.
17. Nightclubs
For many, the best way to celebrate Valentine's Day is to go to some trendy club where you can drink, dance, and generally enjoy the nightlife of your city to the fullest. You can even not limit yourself to just one club, but visit a variety of different ones in one night, and then have a mega passionate and unforgettable, so-called “after-party,” just the two of you.
18. Museum and Exhibition Day
This method is more suitable for those couples who have already tried a lot of things or have been dating for more than 1-2 years. Spend this day exploring new interesting places in your city, for example, try a variety of dishes in some other restaurant on the opposite side of the city, go to a new performance, or go to some humor festival that is happening in your city.
19. Wine, chocolate and sunset
Choose the most romantic place in your city (or near it), let it be some hotel on a hill with an incredible view of the city or a restaurant with a balcony with a very beautiful view.
Open a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates and, while enjoying a casual conversation, wait for the moment when the entire sky is covered with unreal red streaks, foreshadowing sunset. This moment is incredibly beautiful and romantic, I think a passionate kiss and a tight hug would be a great way to end it.
20. Ice skating
There is something intriguing and at the same time incredibly fun about a seemingly mediocre ice skating date. This pastime brings people very close, because you will have to hold on to each other tightly. After such an active date, I think you will be happy to move on to a more intimate and romantic evening somewhere in a cafe or bar, warming up and sharing your impressions with each other.
21. Body art
Body art is certainly one of the most romantic and sexy ideas for a date, which will revive your most passionate desires, dilute the routine of standard foreplay, and also add fun to your evening. All you need are paints suitable for drawing on the body, a few brushes and your imagination.
You can draw tiger stripes on your loved one’s body, depict full-fledged wardrobe elements, or come up with something more abstract - the choice is yours.
22. New interesting images
Of course, shopping is very interesting and exciting, however, in order to brighten up your wardrobe, you don’t have to buy something new. Sometimes it's enough
just go into your closet and shake out all the old and forgotten things. After that, imagine yourself as fashion designers and feel free to create something interesting, funny, beautiful or sexy for your partner from old clothes.
This is a great idea for the time after a delicious dinner, which will smoothly set you in the right mood for an intimate atmosphere.
23. Dancing the night away
If you and your significant other are considered good dancers, and you get great pleasure from the beautiful movement of your body to music, a great idea for you to celebrate Valentine's Day would be to go to a dance club or similar place.
In addition, you can arrange a dance evening at home, picking up a CD with your favorite music, delicious drinks and dancing the night away in the company of your beloved man.
en.fotolia.com This may sound a little expected and obvious, but it seems to me that it would be very cool if you could turn off all your phones, computers and other means of communication, close the doors and create your own little world in which only the two of you live. If your house has several rooms, decorate each of them in a special romantic style, and during the evening change your location, and therefore your activity. Place lots of different snacks everywhere, prepare special music, lay out pillows and blankets and plunge into a world where there is only you and your significant other.
For example, it would be great if you started with a hot shower together, then moved on to a romantic dinner, followed by an interesting movie that you would watch cuddled on the couch and ultimately end up in the bedroom.
25. Walk in the woods
When you go somewhere away from the bustle of the city, you, of course, “doom” yourself to fresh air and a huge number of positive aspects for your health, but besides everything else, all this solitude adds some erotic overtones, doesn’t it?
You can rent a cottage near the city, buy some food and drinks, walk around the nearby area and explore all its beauties. This is a great way to relax and revive your feelings for each other.
26. Sexy costume party
I am sure that some role-playing games will never hurt anyone, whether you are already a couple who have lived together for some time or those who are just starting to date. You will have to work a little on the scenario (for example, your man will be a wounded soldier, and you will be a sexy nurse, or you will be a couple consisting of an irrepressible robber and a policewoman).
To do this, you will need to purchase some costumes and select all the necessary accessories and props. And in order to completely immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a role-playing game, you could rent a room in some hotel.
en.fotolia.com Yes, here you will need some time for planning, besides this will require certain financial expenses, but if you can afford it, then feel free to book tickets to France, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Greece or other places that will leave simply an unforgettable mark on your hearts.
28. Hot air balloon flight
This is a very fun and romantic trip, during which you can admire the enchanting views of the area, experience the “thrill” of flying, and combine all this with a romantic dinner and champagne.
Just don't forget about warm clothes, it can get quite cold at the top.
29. Resort or spa salon
What could be better than letting your body and mind simply relax in some amazing spa. After these sessions, you will feel renewed, fresh and full of energy, and will also receive a certain “shot” of sexuality and passion, watching your partner relax and enjoy.
This idea is especially suitable for couples who have been together for a long time and, unfortunately, do not have the opportunity to spend much time together. If it is not possible to go somewhere, then you can do it yourself.
30. A trip down memory lane
This idea, again, is perfect for those couples who have been together for many, many years, as well as those who have experienced many interesting sensations in the past and have something to remember. Start from the very first days together, try to visit the most significant places for you, remember everything that happened over the years.
Your feelings will again sparkle with those colors that used to be especially frequent guests of your relationship.
31. Karaoke
A great option for couples looking to have a fun Valentine's Day is a karaoke bar that is quite informal and inexpensive, but also incredibly fun and bonding. If you are a little embarrassed to perform your favorite songs into a microphone, cheer yourself up a little with alcohol and just relax - this evening is just for the two of you, so forget about the rest!
32. Helicopter excursion followed by dinner
This option is equivalent to flying in a hot air balloon, however, it will amaze you in its own way and will be remembered for a really long time. This is not a very expensive pleasure, which is at the same time very romantic and exciting.
Typically, such an excursion lasts from half an hour to an hour, so you can end the evening with dinner in a good restaurant.
en.fotolia.com Horseback riding has always been an incredibly fun and interesting activity, especially such a date you will remember for a long time if you have never done it before. By the way, the prince on a noble horse, who intends to take his girlfriend to a real fairy tale, has not yet been canceled!
Yes, this date will turn out to be incredibly exciting, fun, beautiful and, of course, romantic and bonding!
34. Cocktail party
If you want to throw it just for the two of you, or if you want, invite your friends to your place, in fact, it doesn’t matter what company you throw the party with. The most important thing is that you will have a lot of fun and try a wide variety of drinks. Don’t be greedy about the ambience of the evening, choose interesting accessories for glasses, cut delicious fruits and arrange various additives.
You can find recipes for a wide variety of cocktails on the Internet; mix what you like, try something new, and don’t skimp on your imagination. And also don’t forget about your Valentine’s Day outfit. Dress up in something extravagant and have a blast. Great way, isn't it?
en.fotolia.com I understand that the idea itself is no longer new, however, it seems to me that something interesting can still be squeezed out of it. Try visiting a restaurant whose cuisine you have never tried before, try something new. Many restaurants do not only prepare food and present it to the table, they also put on a whole show, so I think you will have a great time and also add variety to your date.
36. Concert
In fact, “going out” on Valentine's Day is not limited to restaurants alone, there is so much going on around you, you just need to go online and choose something you like. Surely, somewhere near you there is going to be some kind of concert or festival with live music.
37. A trip through the city at night
Buy yourself some elegant fashionable clothes, rent a limousine for the night and go to a good restaurant, after which you can visit some jazz club or exhibition. Turn on your inner snob and play the role of a very aristocratic and elegant couple who finally allowed themselves to get out of their castle and visit this wonderful city during the most beautiful time of the day - night.
38. Excursion to historical and cultural places in your city
39. Evening in the style of James Bond
Why don't you and I play? Just imagine, a stunning lady in a fitted, sexy black dress, in the company of a strong, handsome, but slightly serious and thoughtful man, approaches the roulette wheel with a glass of wine and makes bets at random, smiling mysteriously at each other.
Many of us would like to be in such a role, but not many will actually allow ourselves to do so. Of course, this is not the cheapest option to have fun, however, since Valentine's Day is only once a year, sometimes, I think, we can afford various excesses.
40. Bungee jumping
Many couples who have been together for quite some time often talk about the fact that sometimes it is worth literally “shake up” their relationship and try something very extreme together. They also say that such things release a very powerful dose of aphrodisiacs, which in turn affects the relationship in its own way.
Bungee jumping will allow you to feel such a burst of adrenaline, fun and pleasure that you are unlikely to forget such a pastime. Be sure to try it, and I’m sure you won’t regret it.
41. Excursion to a winery or brewery
If you are a long-time lover of wine or beer, I think you would be very interested in learning something new and interesting about these drinks (by the way, the same can be said about whiskey). Usually, various distilleries for the production of alcoholic beverages sometimes organize excursions with tastings and a detailed story about how each of them is made.
After the tour, you will be able to purchase the most interesting specimens, which, of course, is an excellent gift for each other on this wonderful holiday.
42. Funny clip
Have you ever imagined yourself as a star? What's stopping you from choosing a costume, a song, a camera and simply, for example, shooting a music video? Rehearse a song, you can even come up with one yourself, dress appropriately and start filming. You will definitely have a lot of fun, have fun and end up with a great souvenir for many years to come.
en.fotolia.com What about sports games? You can arrange real championships in basketball, football, tennis (table and tennis), for example, with a couple of your friends. Be sure to dress in a theme for this sport and pretend to be real athletes. If you want to play just the two of you and somewhere more private from prying eyes, then you can easily combine this pastime with another activity and decorate each other, as in point number 13.
44. Club with live music
A great date idea for any couple is to go to a club that plays live music (be it rock, jazz, or even poetry readings). Also, for such an evening it is worth dressing appropriately and in keeping with the theme of the concert. Just please take care of a table in advance, because if you go to such places without a reservation, you are unlikely to find at least some free seat - absolutely all the seats will be completely occupied, and you will not feel comfortable.
45. Skydiving lessons
If you are still wondering what to do to experience some serious adrenaline, skydiving is undoubtedly perfect for you. After such an adventure, you will remain in a kind of happy prostration for a long time with a stupid smile of bliss on your face. An excellent end to such a day would be a quiet, romantic dinner in the company of your loved one.
46. Paintball
War games have always been a great way to actively relax, try yourself in the role of a focused “fighter,” and also stretch your brain while making important tactical decisions. It's definitely a bonding experience, you'll feel the adrenaline rush, have fun, and get all the fun out of some role-playing content. And when you return home, you can always turn to point number 18 and act out the scene with the wounded soldier and the experienced sexy nurse.
47. Random events
Abandon all plans, take your beloved man in one hand and a credit card in the other and just go have fun. For example, first go to a bowling alley, then to a cafe for romantic get-togethers in a cozy atmosphere.
Do you want to go to the cinema? Great, there's a romantic comedy playing at the cinema! Go to a nice restaurant and then do something you've never done before. Combine everything you liked on this list (museums, excursions, a club, a romantic dinner at home), and don’t deny yourself anything!
en.fotolia.com Suitable for men. Choose a chic bouquet of roses for your girlfriend and stuff it with notes about where you will go together in the next few months, although you may want to outline the prospect for the whole year. In any case, a woman will be extremely pleased if the events include a list of her desires realized.
49. Magic box with wishes
Fill the jar with heart-shaped candies and notes for your loved one. Examples of notes: back massage, 10 kisses, and so on. The notes can also talk about your love and respect: “I am so happy that the Lord gave me such a wonderful husband like you.” Roll each note and tie with ribbon.
50. Don't forget about others
I have a little advice for all the single guys: Congratulate your co-workers on Valentine's Day in words. And nothing more. It's weird when you give out valentines to people you don't know well. No, instead, don't forget to congratulate them when you drink coffee at the coffee machine or ride in the elevator.
This is a great way to please the women you work with. They will remember this and will look at you differently, like, this is the great guy who said nice words to them on Valentine's Day. As a bonus, bring some heart-shaped sweets with wishes and leave them in the kitchen to please your colleagues.
So, I shared with you the most interesting and original ideas on how you can celebrate this wonderful holiday of love. Which ones did you like the most? Share your thoughts with us!
Do you want to give your loved one an unusual surprise to show how unique your love is? Ready-made holiday sets from the supermarket or a pair of new socks will not work here. It’s important to put your heart and soul into it and arrange a real surprise.
Believe me, even representatives of the stronger sex will melt from your tenderness and romantic mood. At the same time, this will be the answer to his question about Valentine’s Day.
- Festive breakfast
An unusual presentation of your favorite dish in the style of the holiday will be a good starting point of his day and will cheer you both up. In addition, such a breakfast can become a reminder of the holiday. And even if he forgot about Valentine's Day, he will have many hours at his disposal to prepare a surprise for you.
- Handmade postcard
Valentines are a banality. But a Valentine’s card that you not only signed, but also made yourself, showing the full range of your feelings in it, is an excellent gift. Your sincere words will warm him better than any scarf, sweater and socks.

- Men's gift
Men are given alcohol as gifts on many holidays because they know how to appreciate the taste of elite drinks. If talking with your best friend over a glass of whiskey is a good tradition for your boyfriend, such a gift will be very useful. He will be able to tell that same friend how much he loves you. And yes, you can sign the label yourself.
- Puzzles with love
Let him not receive his gift ready-made right away - give him a chance to enjoy collecting letters into such long-awaited words. Sign the details of your favorite game or make puzzles with your initials. He will be carried away and remember such a surprise for a long time.
- Frame with a surprise
Place in a frame under glass not a picture with hearts or a photo of you together, but something more meaningful and flashy just for the two of you. These can be symbols: the key to your heart, the date of your first date, embroidered initials or hand-written texts of all the most important messages. It’s also a good idea to glue pieces of the map - it should depict places that are significant to you.

- Home utensils of lovers
May you have new cups with your names and caricature on them. You can paint them manually with acrylic paints or have them made to order. Another touching idea is to paint the bed linen. Write on his pillow everything you’ve been wanting to say. And let him fall asleep with these sweet words.
- Sweet for sweet
On Valentine's Day, every girl wants not only to congratulate her beloved, friends and girlfriends in an original and sweet way, but also to make beautiful souvenirs with her own hands. Some people know how to draw, sew or knit, while others believe that it is impossible to make an original gift for a loved one without special skills - but this is not true. In fact, there are many ways to easily, simply and with pleasure make a beautiful gift with your own hands for any occasion - even a birthday, even Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t matter. And no special skills are required - you just need inspiration, a little free time, accuracy and a desire to pleasantly surprise!
It's important to choose your idea wisely before you roll up your sleeves and get to work. There are a lot of ideas and master classes. But first of all, you need to understand that Valentine's Day is different from other holidays. If for a birthday, for example, you need to give something valuable and practical, then this holiday was created for other purposes, namely, to give love. And gifts should be symbolic, carry a hidden meaning. Therefore, Valentine's Day, unlike birthdays and other holidays, allows you to make beautiful gifts and souvenirs with your own hands. The main thing is that the gift contains a sincere confession of tender feelings and is made with soul!
Soft and tender
If for a birthday it is customary to give cards and a cake with candles, then the holiday of all lovers requires the obligatory presence of valentines and souvenirs with a “heartfelt” theme. To make an original soft gift with your own hands, you don’t have to be skilled at sewing. There are simple and very effective ideas!
Sweet feelings
It's customary to give a cake for a birthday, but why not give sweet gifts on Valentine's Day? By the way, in some countries it is customary to give homemade chocolate for this holiday. Making your own chocolate or not is your choice, but giving a sweet heart to your loved one is a great idea!
Something with a surprise
I would like to give my “other half” a romantic surprise with my own hands, but how? Nothing could be simpler. Use your imagination and you will get a wonderful souvenir!
To make the holiday of love and romance a wonderful memory, be responsible in choosing and making souvenirs, put your soul and love into the gift, try and take your time - and happiness will know no bounds!

Decorating the table for February 14
Dinner at a beautifully set table is an essential attribute of any celebration. Valentine's Day, the celebration of which is becoming increasingly popular both in families and among couples who are just starting to date, is no exception. Table setting appropriate for Valentine's Day creates the necessary atmosphere of comfort and romance in the home for such an occasion.
The table for a festive dinner can be decorated using a wide variety of accessories. Traditionally, Valentine's Day decor uses white, pink and red. Ribbons, flowers, hearts made from a wide variety of materials are indispensable elements of a festive table setting. For a romantic dinner, it’s a good idea to place paired elements on the table. You can emphasize the spirit of the holiday by using the most ordinary things - tablecloths, napkins, vases, cutlery, table lamps.

Textiles for the festive table on February 14
Usually festive tables are covered with a tablecloth. If you show your imagination, it’s very easy to turn an ordinary white tablecloth, which is available for special occasions in every home, into an excellent background against which the rest of the attributes of Valentine’s Day will play. For example, you can sew a red or pink satin ribbon at a short distance from its edge. The corners of the tablecloth can be decorated with bows or flowers from the same ribbon.
A complement to a table decorated with such a tablecloth will be napkins trimmed with satin ribbons or flowers made from folded ribbons. You can decorate a candy bowl filled with “hearts” made of chocolate or cookies with ribbon roses. You can also fold the napkins in the traditional way and tie them with ribbons. A small live rose attached with a ribbon to a napkin looks very romantic. You can fold napkins in the shape of a heart.
Decorating with paper: napkins for February 14
Paper napkins are great for table decoration. It’s worth stocking up on ready-made multi-layer napkins with holiday symbols. You can serve a dish decorated using decoupage technique and napkins in the appropriate style.
Pink napkins in table decor for Valentine's Day
Another simple but effective way to decorate a holiday table is to cut out openwork heart-shaped bases for cutlery and all other items on the table from plain napkins made of paper or non-woven material.
Table decoration with flowers and plants
Traditionally, for most holidays the table is decorated with flowers. Usually a low bouquet is placed in the center of the table. When decorating a table for February 14th, you can play around with a vase or the space around it in the spirit of the holiday. You can buy a vase corresponding to the holiday or paint it by hand with acrylic paints. Then such paints can be easily removed if the vase will be used for other events in the future.
Food with hearts and flowers on the table for Valentine's Day
On February 14, the tree of love is sometimes decorated. The “tree” itself is made from flowering branches of various trees. Apple tree branches are good for this purpose. 2-3 weeks before the holiday they need to be cut and placed in water. By the time of the ceremony, the buds will open and leaves will appear, and possibly flowers. You can also decorate ordinary winter branches of the shape you like with ribbons, various symbols of love - hearts, paired figurines of swans, doves. An interesting option for decorating a love tree is to place photographs of the couple on it. The tree of love should be placed on the table so as not to obscure those present.

Table decoration for February 14 using lighting
Very often candles are used to create a romantic mood. If table space allows, you can lay out an image of a heart from low candles. Floating candles will look great in a low, wide vase. When decorating a holiday dinner, use scented candles with caution. They are used only if it is known that everyone present likes the smell and that it does not interrupt the aroma of festive dishes. Using candles requires caution, since an open fire is always a danger of setting something on fire, especially if there is fabric or paper nearby.
Candles for table decor for Valentine's Day
However, the familiar table lamp, decorated with your own hands, will also look good on the holiday table. To prevent its light from being too bright, the lampshade should be wrapped in fabric. This could be a pink or red scarf or scarf. You should check whether the fabric is very close to the lamp. You can attach paper garlands of hearts, various figures or photographs to the fabric. It is also good to decorate the lamp with the ribbon flowers mentioned above.

Food for lovers on February 14
On Valentine's Day, you can not only set the table beautifully, but also prepare some romantic food. The simplest option is food in the shape of hearts. And it doesn’t matter what it will be - toast and scrambled eggs for breakfast, watermelon hearts, candies and cakes or heart-shaped meat steaks, the main thing is to show your love for the one for whom you decorated your table.

Candles are indispensable accessories on Valentine's Day
Candles are the best way to convey the sincerity and seriousness of feelings on February 14th. They are the ones who can give any room a romantic atmosphere. In their gentle flicker, everything looks more mysterious, but at the same time alluring.
Over the past five years, candles have become very popular. Their diversity today knows no bounds. Wall, floor, bronze, copper, gilded - this is not the entire list of proposed decorations. On Valentine's Day, it is advisable to place candles in the corners of the room, or hang them on the walls.
In order to give the interior more mystery and passion for the holiday on February 14, it is best to use a large number of small candles. For a romantic dinner, small scented candles (for example, with the scent of flowers or strawberries) can be placed directly on the floor, so they will create an atmosphere of warmth and tenderness. A very interesting result is obtained when using candles in the shape of hearts, angels, doves and cupids in the interior. They will be a kind of pendulum for the other half.
Candles look fabulously beautiful on February 14, the reflection of which can be seen in the clouds with champagne. You can use the idea of a vase filled with water, after which small candles should be placed in it (they will act as a kind of floating islands) and, of course, rose petals.

DIY jar, box, book “100 reasons why I love you” for February 14
It's time to get ready for February 14th and figure out what to give your boyfriend. What do you expect from your loved ones on Valentine's Day? Of course, love confessions, and a jar, box or book “100 reasons why I love you”, which I will tell you how to make today, will be an ideal gift. It’s simple to make, it’s not expensive, but anyone will definitely like such a gift, because everyone wants to be loved and everyone needs attention. So, we will learn how to make a jar of declarations of love with our own hands. How and from what can it be made?
Jar “100 reasons why I love you!”
Jar with declarations of love
The most popular idea is the "100 Reasons Why I Love You" jar. In fact, there may be fewer or more reasons, depending on your imagination and the size of the jar you chose for the gift. It is clear that the more reasons, the longer your boyfriend will read them, and the more pleasant he will be. Somehow choose a beautiful number of reasons - and get to work.
How to make a "10 Reasons Why I Love You" Jar
We will need:
Glass jar with a lid (sold at any home improvement store - for bulk products)
- Paper for confessions
- Satin ribbons
- Fabric, lace, colored paper, jewelry
Instructions:
How to make a love jar for Valentine's Day
We search on the Internet for 100 reasons why I love you or come up with them ourselves - especially for your loved one. Then you can simply print them on paper and cut them into thin strips, this is faster than writing by hand (in the second case, we cut the paper into strips in advance).

More ideas on how you can decorate the “100 Reasons Why I Love You” jar:
Box with confessions on pieces of paper
A similar idea, but we will no longer put our love confessions in a jar, but in a box, which can also be beautifully decorated or made from scratch with your own hands. You can take ready-made beautiful boxes, for example, from Raffaello chocolates, and cover them with red paper, or you can simply glue a confession box out of cardboard. This is what you should get:
Box “50 reasons why I love you” - how to make
Notepad or book “reasons why I love you”
A simple notebook with love confessions
Another idea is to arrange your declarations of love in the form of a book or small notepad. Again, here you can use a ready-made notebook from the store and just decorate its cover and write the title, or you can make it from scratch - the cover, sheets of confessions, and then sew them together. Here's what you might end up with:
Beautiful book “why I love you” with your own hands
Love cards
Cards - 52 reasons why I love you

Balls with papers inside
A beautiful idea is to use bright balloons for your gift. Inside, before you come up with your ball, put one confession at a time and give the balls as a gift. The bonus is that the guy will be sorry to read your notes right away, so he will be burning with impatience for some time, not knowing what’s inside.
Balloons with declarations of love
Gift package
If you are preparing a gift for February 14 almost on the last day, and did not have time to decorate the jar or box, then your love confessions, which you print out, cut into strips and tie with ribbons very quickly, then you can simply put them in a beautiful gift bag or use other ready-made holiday packaging.
Declarations of love with a gift bag

14 master classes: how to make a postcard for February 14th with your own hands
February 14, also known as Valentine's Day and Valentine's Day, is the time when we all expect love and want to give love to everyone around us. You can show your sympathy in different ways, because the most important thing is attention, and if you want to give your boyfriend a gift, you can make it yourself. Even if it’s just a handmade card, it can be more valuable than the most expensive gift, because it’s not for nothing that they say that we put our soul, and therefore our love, into what you do. And today we will look at 14 step-by-step master classes on making cards for loved ones on February 14th.
We will need colored paper and cardboard to make a postcard, glue, scissors, and also a pencil onto which we will wind strips of paper to make this postcard:
The quilling technique is simple - cut colored paper into thin strips and roll them onto a pencil. Next, glue heart-shaped cards onto the cardboard (you can draw it with a simple pencil). Use blue or white to make a border for the received heart - stick it on the side. We make hearts out of colored paper and glue them around the heart on the card. Here are step-by-step instructions in photographs:
What do we need
Stripes for edging

2. Card with hearts-butterflies and a memorable date
Card with hearts-butterflies and a memorable date
A very beautiful card with hearts that look like a butterfly and a memorable date - it can be either February 14, the holiday for which you are making this card, or the date of your acquaintance or wedding. You can print out a calendar for the desired month in a beautiful font, buy a frame for a postcard in a store or do without it, and cut out hearts from paper.
Memorable date on a postcard
It's no less easy to do. We print the calendar and with a thin pencil draw stripes on top where we will glue the hearts. We coat them with glue. We fold the hearts themselves in half and use tweezers to place them in the right place. For such a smooth color transition as here, we use the corresponding paper colors. Don’t forget to stick one of the hearts on the date you need on the calendar, and insert the postcard into the frame. If anything else is not clear, look at the photo instructions:

4. Valentine's Day cards with overlay elements

The elements themselves - these can be hearts, houses, animals or something abstract, are cut out of paper and glued onto the postcard in layers. You can also use slots and backgrounds or add ribbons and some bright elements to decorate the card. A step-by-step master class is not required here, but these ideas will be useful to you:

Postcard with roses for February 14 - how to make
If you're tired of simple cards and want to make something complex, here's an idea for a chic card with voluminous heart-shaped roses. Making it is not as difficult as it seems. For the roses we will need pink and green corrugated paper. First, we roll up the blanks for the roses. Then we fold the green paper and cut out the leaves, as in the photo below. We collect our rose and use our fingers to give it a more natural shape. Corrugated paper wrinkles easily and holds its shape well, so you can make roses more vibrant and leaves more natural. All we have to do is make the required number of roses and glue them onto a heart-shaped card. Here is a photo of the master class:

You can make completely different surprises, decorate the interior thematically, or present something completely personal. It's up to you to choose, we'll just give you a few ideas.
1. Volumetric letters of your loved one’s name
They can be made from hard cardboard or plywood of any size. This can be not only a name, but also any words of recognition. To decorate the letters, use yarn of any color, but delicate shades are preferable. Glue is applied to the base and the yarn is wound in even rows. You should not rush to cut the ends of the threads; you must wait until the glue has completely dried.
When the letters are completely ready, you can start decorating them. Any decorations are suitable for this - flowers that can be made from felt or ready-made ones, bows, rhinestones, etc.
