Non-traditional ideas to celebrate Valentine's day

1. Go for a long drive at 6:00 AM in the morning and stop for continental breakfast. Do the opposite of romantic dinner! Enjoy the most important meal of the day together.

2. If you are in outdoor adventures, take a long hike and camp. Take a small grill and cook. May be a bon-fire?

3. If you like pets, get one on Valentine’s day instead of buying each other gifts. A small fish or a cute bird.

4. Cook your favorite restaurant meal at home from scratch. Prepare some nice cocktails and a dessert to go with.

5. Join a gym or start playing a sport (pledge to start living a healthy life). If you love your partner a lot and want to grow old with them, start living a fit life today.


6. Surprise an elderly couple (or parents) by visiting them. These days when most of us live away from our parents, it will be nice to surprise them and take them out for dinner.

7. Spend the whole day volunteering for your favorite charity. At the end of the day, stop to pick-up some take out and a bottle of wine to reward yourselves for the great work.

8. Make a small movie featuring your favorite spots in town where you shared special moments. You will be surprised how good this will feel 10 or 20 years later. Share the video with your close family and friends.

9. Book a fancy hotel room in your own city and order in champagne and food thru room-service. Treat yourself like a celebrity!

10. Rent 2-3 movies. Switch off cell-phones and laptops for the whole day and get a pint of ice-cream. Tip – drop off the kids at a relative :)

  1. Something different, great and of course most of them are money saving and perfect ways for celebrating the Valentine’s day in today’s tough economy. This is something unique we can do than what usually people do on this day that is exchanging cards, flowers, expensive gifts with each other.
    Ok my dear husband how about doing the very first one next Saturday???
