How To Surprise Your Partner on Valentine’s Day

Make your partner feel special, and remember that reservations and plans must be made well in advance, as everything gets booked fast on and around Valentine’s Day.

1. Set a romantic, wonderful entrance

Begin the surprise as soon as she opens the door by setting up a trail of flowers, wrapped candies, a dress, or written messages that will lead her to the next surprise. She will adore it if you set the mood with romantic music, candles, and lighting. Make sure to make everything look perfect and decent.

2. Present a handwritten note

The days of writing notes by hand are long gone. Because they are so uncommon, they are valued greatly. Note down everything you enjoy about them, show your love, thank them for their support throughout the years, and list all the silly things you two do together that bring you joy. Emojis should be made, along with small drawings.

3. Attend a class together

On Valentine’s Day, take a class together to acquire a new skill and spend time together. Classes in everything from cooking and baking to massage, painting, sculpture, dance, and much more are available to accommodate the interests of all students. If you both enjoy the lesson, consider turning it into a regular date night or starting a new pastime together.

4. Watch a Valentine’s Day movie

Prepare some popcorn, tasty snacks, and a fragrant candle, and cuddle up under a blanket in your own home with your partner to watch a Valentine’s Day movie. Valentine’s Day films you can watch are
Before Sunrise (1995), The Princess Bride (1987), Pride and Prejudice (2005), The Notebook (2004), La La Land (2016), etc. Don’t forget to bring your partner’s favorite foods and beverages to enjoy with a large serving of popcorn.

5. Create artwork together

In your own house, recreate the painting lesson. Gather up any art tools you need and snacks to feed your creative spirit. You can either make something entirely new or follow existing tutorials. Once finished, hang the item in your house as a beautiful memory of your date.

6. Plan a home spa

This is an excellent way to bring the spa into your home if you and your partner prefer to relax and would often treat each other to a spa day or treatment on Valentine’s Day. Give your partner a relaxing face mask, buy a new skincare kit for the two of you, and get some bubble bath and massage oil. Arrange some soft music, snacks, or chocolates to make it more special.

7. Plan an outdoor date

When planning a date for your adventurous partner, consider exploring new places in the great outdoors for a romantic experience. Hiking, camping, boating, skiing, and rafting are some alternatives, depending on the conditions and area where you live. Consider gifting an item from their wish list, like a sleeping bag or thermal water bottle, to complement the date.

8. Create a video or slideshow of memories

They will value emotional presents the most. A musical slideshow or movie is an entertaining take on the classic scrapbook. If you both enjoy watching videos, this is wonderful because you can watch them together and watch their reactions within.

9. Search for hidden meanings in my love for you

Get a pack of cards and write down things you want them to remember or things you love about them. Then, hide the cards in the house. This can be an activity where they have to search the house for the required number of items that they know they need to find. As an extra treat, you could even leave some of them with small gifts.

10. Candlelit dinner at home

Get ready with your partner and dress nicely, then pretend to be on a date at a restaurant. Cook their favorite meal or place an order, then relax together. Serve any dish they enjoy for the main course after trying a starter or chocolates to start the meal. Find out from their parents what your partner’s favorite dish from childhood was. Try to keep it simple and beautiful.

11. Prepare the meal together

Eating a special meal prepared at home might be far more romantic than dining at a crowded restaurant. Dining becomes more intimate as a result of the care and attention that goes into the cooking of the food. If one of you isn’t a good cook, you can still make a special dinner that the other will love.

12. Play out your first date again

A thoughtfully planned Valentine’s Day date can make your partner feel extra special. Thinking back to your first memorable date and making plans to repeat it is a great way to enjoy the present while remembering the past. Change it up by putting a little more creativity into an at-home version.

What does your partner want?

Your time, energy, and feelings spent on your partner’s happiness are the best gifts you can give them. Your lover will notice how considerate you’ve been if they truly love you. Do not worry too much about the present you give or the planned date. To surprise your partner, you can do many different kinds of things. Expressing your gratitude and affection to your partner doesn’t always require a special occasion. All it takes to make someone smile is a small effort to let them know you’re thinking about them and care.
