Home date on Valentine's Day: what moments look cheesy

Even though Valentine's Day came to us from abroad, it has long since taken root in our country. Most couples in love prefer to congratulate each other on this day, even with small gifts. And this is right, because it is so important to show your other half your love, even after years of marriage.

What home date ideas look cheesy?

Most often, couples choose to spend time at home on this day. It is important not to slide into banal and aimless lying in bed. So you you risk spending the holiday half asleep, without any emotional outbursts.

In the meantime, even at home and on a budget you can come up with several options.

First, let's figure out what you definitely shouldn't do. Especially this applies to couples who have been together for many years and already know each other's preferences very well.

Tea candles arranged in the shape of a heart

At school, as an unfulfilled teenager and having watched a huge number of American films, I dreamed of such a date. A beloved guy standing inside a heart made of cheap tea lights in aluminum foil with a rose in his hand. It seemed like this is how every night of love for loved ones begins.

Years later I realized how it looks vulgar and ridiculous. I have nothing against beautiful, fundamental candles that can be placed along the sides of the bathtub for a romantic mood or on the dining table before dinner. But small candles placed on the carpet are not at all romantic.

For teenagers whose passions are raging, even this decor will be groovy. But here It's not the surroundings that's important - young people simply enjoy being next to their significant other.

Balloons

Before Valentine's Day, stores begin to open in huge numbers offer balloons in the shape of hearts, red and pink, with inscriptions and drawings. For people who have been married for many years, such decor is inappropriate.

Balloons, of course, will create a certain aura of celebration, but will not raise your mood to the required level.

Plush hearts

The cute tradition of giving soft toys in the shape of hearts, bears and other creatures to your spouse has also taken root in our country. And receiving a toy heart is also very nice. But agree that for adult men and women this is no longer so pleasant, as in student days.

Of course, there are exceptions to the rules. For example, if a girl collects toys and will be glad to receive a new copy for her shelf. In other cases, it is just another object that collects layers of dust.

Dinner in a negligee

Traditions do not necessarily mean that the evening will end with a passionate night. But this is exactly how many girls imagine spending time together, so having a gala dinner right in the negligee.

I don’t argue that beautiful lingerie looks attractive on a woman, and your companion will certainly appreciate the new sexy set. But remember that men love to conquer much more. It will be more pleasant to undress a lady than to see her in minimalist panties from the very beginning of the evening.

Banal treats

Many girls love rolls and pizza, but this technique is already very hackneyed. I don’t recommend considering it for a unique romantic evening. The only exception is for those who love rolls so much that they are ready to eat them every day.

Creative ideas for celebrating a holiday at home

I won’t talk about trips abroad or to the sea for 1-2 days, renting rooms in luxury hotels or going to the coolest restaurant in the city. All this is no less banal than plush hearts.

There are budget or even free ideas on how to brighten up a festive evening in an original way.

Cooking master class

If cooking is no stranger to your home, go for it. A huge number of free educational videos from famous chefs around the world offer a variety of recipes. Choose inexpensive, with a list of available products to help you have a good time creating a culinary masterpiece together.

Advice: Stock up on a bottle of your favorite wine to make the creative process at the stove more enjoyable.

Shared spa treatments

Don’t believe men that they don’t like sitting in the bathroom, massages and anointing their bodies with various creams. In fact they will enjoy spending the evening in a fragrant bath with a beautiful girl who will also give you a light massage.

Candles placed around the perimeter of the bathroom, as well as glasses of ice-cold champagne, will add a romantic ambiance.

Evening of nostalgia

This option was invented specifically for couples who have been together for many years. To rekindle your past passion and attraction, recapture your memories. View photos or videos of you together. Show them to your children, remember interesting events and incidents, laugh. All this incredibly brings people together and opens up a “second wind” for love.

Cinema Day

All you need is a cozy sofa, an online movie subscription and a loved one nearby. Choose a movie you once liked. It is important that he be to the taste of both partners. And enjoy watching it in the arms of your other half.

You can dilute the atmosphere with soft light from placed candles, delicious snacks ordered from a nearby restaurant, and a bottle of wine. Both partners will definitely enjoy this pastime.

Funny Games

To have a fun and relaxed evening of games, you don't have to invite a lot of people and have a get-together with drinks and snacks. Easily arrange an interesting evening with your loved one. In addition, you can come up with entertaining forfeits for losers that both men and women will enjoy doing.

This evening you will not only get a charge of positive mood, but also get closer to your partner.

When planning a date night at home, think creatively. Don't follow conventional patterns and bring your own “zest”, which is so lacking in many couples.
