Last-Minute Ideas to Celebrate the Day of Love

If you’ve procrastinated on planning for Valentine’s Day, or it just slipped your mind entirely, there’s still ample time and an array of options to mark the day with some special gestures. Whether you and your partner prefer extravagance or simplicity, we offer three easy ways to add a touch of romance to the average Monday!

A Romantic Meal feat. Wine and Cheese

To compensate for the lack of an elaborate gift, go all-out with fine dining. A candle-lit meal at a fancy restaurant is the perfect way to celebrate in an understated yet meaningful way. Make a reservation, plan a menu that your valentine would appreciate, and surprise them with a memorable night: it might sound cheesy, but it’s fool-proof and fail-proof! Between great conversation and scrumptious food, your valentine won’t even notice that it was all planned last-minute.

Count on Tradition: Flowers and Chocolates

When all else fails, it is wise to rely on the time-tested combination of a flamboyant bunch of customary red roses and an assortment of delicious chocolates. This charming gift has a vintage vibe, a proven success rate, and is easily available no matter where you are or how tight your schedule is. Grab an opulent bouquet, a few pretty balloons, some fresh strawberries, and good-old chocolaty goodness, as a small but thoughtful gift. This is also the perfect option for long-distance partners!

For the Homebodies, a Movie Date Night!

Set the mood with some candles, pop the bubbly, order or cook your favourite meal (don’t forget the popcorn and a sweet treat), and snuggle in for a cosy movie night. There is no shortage of romantic flicks to choose from, and the classics are always a safe bet. The comfort and ease of this plan is the perfect way to end the day on a happy and pleasant note, especially if you and your partner prefer a low-key celebration.
