February 14th is a chance to make your partner fall in love with you again and again. But how exactly? In this article, you'll find 10 ideas: 5 for couples who live together and 5 for those in a long-distance relationship.
If you can meet in person
Colour walk
First, choose any colour you both like. Blue, for example. Then, go outside and surround yourself with it: visit a coffee shop with a blue interior, walk along the river/sea, order blue drinks, spot random blue things on the streets. Don't forget to take pictures, so you have a nice photo report by the end of the day. It can also be a good piece of content if your partner is into blogging.
Indoor camp
Camping in February sounds like a bad idea, but not when you do it at home! Pitch a tent, find your cosiest pillows and blankets, turn on some Lo-Fi music, play your favourite games and never touch a digital device. Imagine like you're far away from the city and it's just the two of you (or just the two of you and your children 👨👩👧👦 )
Attend unusual classes
These days, there are classes to match every taste. You can try live cooking or making watches, candles, perfumes, rings, mugs and hundreds of other objects. It's both practical and romantic. Another option is a dance class – a classic that never gets old. Attending one will bring you even closer and uncover new sides of each other.
Recreate your most memorable date
There should be at least one date that pops into your mind. Was it a restaurant evening? Or a boat ride? It could be a trip somewhere, too. Whatever it is, repeat the date! Don't make it identical; instead, recreate it with a fresh touch. You both liked this activity once, so why not live through this experience again?
Blind food/drink tasting
Order something for each other, cover your eyes and taste it. Go all in for the aesthetic with wine or add some fun with weird food – adjust choices to your couple dynamics. You can shoot videos along the way to see your own reactions afterwards. A good laugh is guaranteed.
You don't need to buy expensive gifts to express your feelings. Think outside the box, be attentive to your partner's wants, and Valentine's Day will be a success.

If you can't meet in person
Even if you're in a long-distance relationship, Valentine's Day can be special and full of love.
Plan each other's day
From waking up to going to bed, schedule the whole day for your loved ones. Book them a spa, pay for their coffee and lunch at a cafe, and ask them to rest well while watching their favourite TV show. Imagine their ideal weekend and organise it! Your partner will certainly appreciate the effort and feel your presence, even from afar. Extra points if the schedule is well-designed:
Create art
Write a song, choreograph a dance, draw a painting, or experiment with poetry and short stories. Don't use AI, though. Keep it genuine and human-made – your art doesn't need to be perfect, it needs to be real. The final result may be funny or extremely emotional, up to you. However it ends up, your partner will cherish this memory for years ahead.
Organise a detective quest
Your partner loves detective stories? Immerse them in one! Think of a plot with riddles, twists, hints and small prizes. Detective story generators can help with ideas. Once your partner unravels the mystery, give them the main gift. Whether creating or participating, such quests are joyful for everyone involved.
Share a quiz or presentation
Prepare questions about your relationships and check if your partner remembers the details. It'll spark the conversation and bring even more precious memories to mind. One more option is to create a PPTX on a certain topic:
- best dates,
- what I adore about you,
- how it all started,
- funniest moments,
- travel highlights,
- what you want to do together and why,
- how you see them: in characters, colours, brands.
Creative opportunities here are unlimited, and the result is worth the time.
Match schedules
If the time zone difference allows, spend the day on a similar schedule: eat, wander around the city, watch movies, read books and play together. You can update each other via messages or hold video calls throughout the day – shared experiences erase the physical distance. Make sure not to work too much on February 14th, give yourself a little break!
