Before the COVID-19 pandemic, you might have planned to take your partner out for a night on the town for Valentine’s day. Perhaps you booked a table at a fancy restaurant, got tickets to see a show at the theatre, or went out drinking and dancing. Yes, there was always something fun and exciting to do at the annual celebration of romance, but this year things are quite different. So, how can you still have an excellent Valentine’s day with your partner when everything is shut down? Below is a guide on how to have the perfect Valentine’s day at home.
Breakfast in Bed
Luckily this year, Valentine’s day falls on a Sunday, which means you shouldn’t have work to worry about! What better way to kick off your day than relaxing in bed with a hot cup of coffee, fresh orange juice, and delicious breakfast? This would be ideal on a Sunday morning, but Valentine’s day is an even better excuse to stay cuddled up under the covers and having a leisurely morning together.
Switch Off
It’s easy to start taking each other for granted when you’re in a long-term relationship, and when you’re trying to balance work and the other aspects of life, it can be easy to stop paying a lot of attention to your partner. Make this Valentine’s day just about the two of you and both switch off your phones so you can’t be distracted by emails, messages, and phone calls throughout the day. It’ll give you both a chance to truly connect.
Don’t Forget the Gifts!
Material things aren’t the most important thing when it comes to Valentine’s day, but it’s always nice to get a gift! Remember to order your partner a special something in plenty of time, so it’s there to give them on the day.

Choose Some Fun Activities to Do Together
To fill some time in the afternoon, why not play some board games together? Or you could do some baking, try your hand at some arts and crafts, or even be big kids and build a fort? It’s better than simply sitting in front of the TV all day, barely speaking to each other! You’ll have a lot of laughs throughout the day as you keep each other entertained.
Prepare a Candlelit Dinner
As the evening approaches, start preparing a delicious, romantic meal for two. You can cook together, or if you want to treat your partner even more, why not run them a nice bubble bath so they can relax while you cook? Open a bottle of wine, light some candles, and put on some mood music as you sit and dine together. Afterward, you can snuggle up with each other on the couch and watch your favorite movie.
Like everything this year, Valentine’s day is going to be different, but that doesn’t mean it still can’t be special! Take some inspiration from this guide to have the perfect day with the one you love this February 14th.
