Here are a few ideas for the different people in your life concerning Valentine’s Day.

Unique Ways to Surprise Your Loved Ones

A Spouse or Boyfriend/Girlfriend

Let’s face it after you’ve been married a while, Valentine’s Day loses its luster and not much is celebrated. If you want to change this feeling up and do something special for your spouse, try doing some of the following suggestions.

• Take a cooking class, dancing class, or maybe even a martial arts class just that night
• Go for a horse-drawn carriage ride – they’re not as expensive as you think and gorgeous
• Try an extra special or fancy restaurant – one that actually requires reservations and a suit/dress
• Surprise them by being intimate in a unique place or by using a unique move
• Go classic and stay home, with wine, candles, and a home-cooked meal you made together
• Try the opera, if it’s something you’ve never really done before
• Go to a sip and paint night with wine and painting together
• Go on a mini staycation or weekend getaway at someplace nearby
• Setup a private wine tasting session in your home or at a vineyard
• Rent a fancy sports car and go cruising
• Have a night of trying all new foods – things you’ve never tried before
• If you’re not overly wealthy, pretend you are for one nigh tclothes, restaurants, car testing, etc.
• Buy a bunch of random seeds and plant them random places – you can even check some of the random spots over time to see if they grew anything
• Get lost in your town or a nearby town – take roads you’ve never been down, visit stores you’ve never been in, etc.
• Rent a boat

For the Kids

If you have kiddos, doing something special for them on Valentine’s Day is a must because they’re a huge love in your life as well. So, don’t forget them! Of course, you could just settle for candy, but why not do something a little more special or unique for them.

• Take them to an art class
