1.Go back to where you first met

On this special day, how about going back to where it all began? Where was your first date with your partner? If possible, go back to the same location, if that is not possible right now, recreate the experience as much as you can. Maybe you can reconstruct the same environment in a different location? Doing so will remind you of how far you've come together since that first date when you were both full of butterflies and nervous sentences.

2.Participate in a charitable activity together

There are many different charitable opportunities you can participate in together. For example, you can shop for children in need of warm clothing. You can donate books to schools and provide supplies to other organizations that serve the public, or you can visit animal shelters to donate food. Imagine how warm it will feel to see each other doing good things for your community.

3.Organize a deep chat night

You might say, “We are already having deep conversations”, but this will be very different from normal conversations. There are dozens of question-card sites online that aim to help couples connect more deeply with each other. The questions on these sites can introduce topics you’ve never before discussed. Here is one example for you: https://munjoonteo.github.io/wnrs/.

4.Go ice skating

5.Organize a treasure hunt full of love

You may have heard of treasure hunting before. Surprise your significant other throughout the day, by buying a lot of small gifts that will put a smile on their face. Hide them in different places in your home along with short love notes. You can even put something in their drawer at work if you have the opportunity. Hide small gifts everywhere and watch your special someone find happiness with each discovery. We are sure that you will both enjoy it very much.

6.Get a couple’s massage

Psychologist and relationship expert Paulette Sherman recommends that if you have time, plan a romantic day on Valentine's Day to relax and focus on each other.

Offering a magical atmosphere on the shores of Sapanca Lake, you can have an unforgettable day by visiting Richmond Nua. You can enjoy the award-winning Spa during the day by experiencing a relaxing couple’s massage-from one of the dozens of available choices-and then end the day with a romantic meal overlooking Sapanca Lake.

If you are on a tighter budget you can prepare a romantic ambiance with candles and give your own massage choosing aromatic oils according to your partner’s preferences. Don't forget to add shopping together to your list to enjoy Spa and massage at home.
