Ideas for Valentine’s Day
Give a beautiful, personal card to someone special this Valentine’s Day by trying one of these DIY ideas: 40 Unconventional DIY Valentine’s Day Cards from BuzzFeed
Host a Valentine’s get-together in your apartment. Go all out with decorations and plan some fun Valentine’s Day minute to win it games; be sure to provide some decadent desserts (coupled with some healthy options too) for a fantastic party.
Do a Valentine’s Day Themed Craft like one of these:
Candy Heart Valentine Bouquet from Smart School House
Flowers are such an iconic thing to not only give but decorate with, any time of the year and most especially Valentine’s Day. Bring some extra sweetness to your flower arrangement by making this one. Invest in a couple of different sized vases that fit into each other and stock up on your favorite Valentine’s Day candy (the blogger of the idea chose candy hearts, but we’re sure you could use something else, like M&Ms or Skittles).
Valentine’s Day Garland from TheLittleThingsEV on Etsy
Garlands are easy ways to decorate for a holiday or a specific theme. We love this product for its simplicity and beauty. Buy this garland or make your own by sewing together a bunch of paper hearts.
Heart Tree from Money Hip Mamas
This idea won’t take much out of you — just enough time to pick some branches, find a vase or pitcher, and use a hot glue gun for the assembly. Cut out your own paper hearts or buy some glitter or felt ones to create the look you’re going for. This is a classy and fun way to add just a touch of Valentine’s Day spirit to your apartment.
Watch a Romantic movie with your sweetheart or a friend. These are some good options:
Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Sparks fly when spirited Elizabeth Bennet meets single, rich, and proud Mr. Darcy. But Mr. Darcy reluctantly finds himself falling in love with a woman beneath his class. Can each overcome their own pride and prejudice?
Midnight in Paris (2011)
While on a trip to Paris with his fiancée's family, a nostalgic screenwriter finds himself mysteriously going back to the 1920s every day at midnight.
The Notebook (2004)
A poor and passionate young man falls in love with a rich young woman and gives her a sense of freedom. They soon are separated by their social differences.
