Valentine’s Day is on a Wednesday this year, smack dab in the middle of the workweek. Whether you can’t take the time off or don’t have the funds for a lavish romantic vacation, here are some great stay-cation ideas to help you celebrate and enjoy the holiday with your loved one.
Hiking/Camping Locally
Connect with nature and with your Valentine, and find a local spot where you can hike or camp together in the great outdoors. Whether you’re an active couple or just enjoy sleeping outdoors, it’s a great option for a quick, affordable trip together that’s out of the ordinary routine.
Go Glamping
Like the idea of camping but not so much of an outdoorsman? Look up local glamping options to get pampered in comfort and style.
Fort Building and Binge Watching
Are you more of an indoor couple? Create a fun day or night together by transforming your living room into a cozy fort for two. Fill it with snacks and wine and cuddle up together for your favorite movie or series. In it for the long haul? Try this binge-watching survival kit.
A Homemade Romantic Dinner
Work on your cooking chops and treat your sweetheart to a romantic dinner for two, or make it together for added fun. Try out a new recipe together or make one of your favorites to enjoy over candlelight with your drink of choice. Play some soft music and keep the lights low for some added romance.
