Valentine’s Day is not just about the presents.

It’s the perfect opportunity to show your special someone how much you adore them.

And with a little extra planning, you could make your loved one’s day that much more special on February 14 by adding a heartfelt activity to your gift.

Following are a few ideas to consider:

Breakfast in bed - Surprise your partner with a delicious breakfast in bed, complete with all their favourite morning treats like pancakes, eggs, fruit, and coffee or juice.

Plan a surprise date - Organise a surprise date with their favourite activities, whether it’s dinner out, a movie marathon, or a visit to a scenic location.

Handwritten love letter - Write a heartfelt letter expressing your feelings, reminiscing on special moments you've shared, or sharing future dreams.

Create a memory jar - Fill a jar with notes of your favourite memories together, compliments, and love quotes. Let them read one each day after Valentine’s Day.

A day of relaxation - Treat your partner to a spa day, either by booking a couple’s massage or creating a DIY spa experience at home with candles, relaxing music, and pampering.

Make a playlist - Curate a playlist with songs that remind you of your relationship, your partner’s favourite tracks, or music that makes you feel connected.

Experience something new together - Try a new activity, like cooking a new dish together, taking a class, or going on an adventure. It’s a fun way to bond and create lasting memories.

Recreate your first date - Take a trip down memory lane by recreating your first date or a special moment from the past. It’ll remind you both of how far you’ve come and the bond you share.

Watch the sunset together - Take a moment to enjoy a peaceful sunset with your partner. Pack a blanket, your favourite snacks, and enjoy the view while being in the moment.
