Valentine’s Day will be different for many people this year amid the coronavirus pandemic. Their usual night out in fancy crowded places is being replaced by a night at home instead. No reason to get down about it, though! Get creative and plan a special at-home date with your favorite guy or gal, your family, or with a few friends. Here at Neubauer’s Flowers, Uniontown’s best florist, we know a lot about love and romance, and we’re here to help plant an at-home Valentine’s Day date night to remember! Always start with some gorgeous flowers, and then choose from one of the below home date ideas.

Creative and Romantic At-Home Date Ideas

Watch Romantic Movies

Plan a special movie marathon to watch all those Marvel movies, Lord of the Rings, or other serial movies you never had the time to watch all the way through. Or, make it a romantic movie marathon with your sweetie. Snuggle up on the couch with snacks and drinks and enjoy being close to the one you love most.

Have a Game Night

Involve the whole family in a night of wholesome games like Scrabble or Uno, or have some friends over for some not so wholesome games like Cards Against Humanity or Exploding Kittens. Add a few drinks and snacks and decorated with Valentine’s Day décor to make it special. If it’s just the two of you, play some video games together or chess and keep it romantic by having plenty of flowers around and scented candles.

Cook Dinner Together

Find a new recipe and get cooking! Trying something new together with your partner is fun and exciting. And cooking a meal together keeps the love bond going strong. The best part of this activity is a delicious meal you both created and get to enjoy.

Take an Online Class

If you’ve always wanted to learn some dance moves, either hip-hop or ballroom, then push the furniture to the walls, grab your baby’s hand, and get dancing! There are plenty of high-quality instructional videos out there that can teach you nearly anything. Sites like MasterClass.com have numerous experts teaching a variety of subjects: Gordon Ramsey teaching cooking, Penn & Teller, teaching magic, and more.

Stay Warm by the Fire

Enjoy a night outside by the firepit or inside by the fireplace if it’s still too cold out. Fires are mesmerizing, peaceful, and a great excuse to get cozy with your loved one. Make smores, drink wine, and talk the night away.

Plan Your Dream Vacation

Research places you and your partner would love to visit and make a plan to go there in the future. Select the sites you want to see, restaurants to try, hotels to say in, and fun activities to do while there. Planning something fun that takes place in the future is a great way to keep the bonds of love strong.

Craft Your Own V-Day Cards

This is an activity the whole family can participate in. Getting crafty is always fun, no matter how old you are. All you need are colored pencils, markers, scissors, glue, glitter, and paper, and let the creativity happen. The end result will be personalized, one-of-kind cards you’ll want to keep forever.

Spread the Love

Send or Give Flowers

Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love. It’s no longer associated with just romantic love, but all love towards everyone. Use this day to let people you care about know how much you love them and also use it to spread the love to others, like your neighbor, a long-distance friend or relative, or even a stranger. If you know someone who could use a pick-me-up on Valentine’s Day, then send them some flowers, or leave a bouquet of flowers on your neighbor’s porch.

Pay It Forward

Pass out flowers to people you don’t know or pick up the tab for someone’s coffee. Small gestures like these can really have a big impact on someone else’s mood and even can make their day. Have a Happy Valentine’s Day.
