Interesting ideas for Valentine's Day. Unexpected date ideas for Valentine's Day. Games for lovers

On February 14, everyone wants romance and exciting actions, but, unfortunately, the budget has been restored for a very long time after the New Year holidays. Discard maximalism in the spirit of "if there is no money for a restaurant, we won’t go anywhere at all," and delight your loved ones with unusual romantic dates. Here are 10 ideas to help you enjoy your evening.

What is the most important thing in a romantic evening? Of course, the mood, and not the amount of money in the wallet at all. So if you are temporarily isolated from expensive beautiful institutions for financial reasons, you can arrange the following.

1. Spend an active day

Of course, it all depends on the weather and your preferences - whether you like "full relaxation" on the couch or prefer to relax actively. What is romance? In a joint pastime that can be completed with a romantic dinner. After all, it is always more pleasant to relax at home if you get tired and freeze on the street before that.

There are many options for outdoor activities:

    To skate. This is recognized by many as one of the most romantic winter sports, especially if you both ride poorly and constantly hold on to each other so as not to fall. All in all, it will be fun.

    Snowball. The sea of \u200b\u200bpositive, of course, if you do not get carried away and do not arrange a war not for life, but for death.

    To make a snowman. Joint creativity strengthens relationships, and modeling from snow is real creativity, because it’s not necessary to sculpt a classic three-set, with a carrot, you can show your imagination and create a real masterpiece from snow.

    Just walk until you freeze. Surely you have not seen all the places in your city. You can visit an unfamiliar area and just explore it - you will surely find some new, interesting or beautiful places. Discovering the new together - what could be more romantic?

    Indoor activity. If you don’t have any desire to be outdoors, you can think about outdoor activities, for example, go to dance classes (it will be very romantic, especially if you are a good dancer) or to mountain climbing, climb the wall, insuring each other.

2. For all adventurers

If you and the second half are not against a certain share of extreme sports, you can go on a trip by electric train or suburban train. Stock of tea or mulled wine in a thermos, an approximate direction, and "towards adventures!"

Just be careful, if your passion does not like adventures in the spirit: “What a beautiful snow-covered field, by the way, we have nowhere to sleep, let's keep warm over there in that abandoned gatehouse”, it’s better not to try.

3. Romantic effects

What kind of romance without additional effects? And the budget of the evening does not affect this in any way, only it is advisable to prepare in advance.

Chinese lantern

If you buy a heart-shaped Chinese lantern, you can run it from the roof or just some kind of elevation. By the way, you can make such a surprise at the end of the walk, when you find a suitable place to start it.

Prints

You can decorate the apartment with prints in the form of hearts and other romantic themes. Like any thematic decoration, like a Christmas tree, they will create a special atmosphere. Prints are inexpensive, and after the holiday they can easily be removed.

Hearts

Valentine's Day is drowning in hearts, why not follow the lead of many? You can cut valentines out of colored paper and sprinkle them in front of the bed or on the bed. Ideally, you can write something nice on each one, or mix them with rose petals - one or three roses and petals are enough.

Light, sound and smell

If you are planning a romantic dinner / hike to the bathroom / evening, flowing smoothly into the night, be sure to stock up on candles. Red candles, different candle lamps or beautiful lamps are perfect. If it is too cold outside to speak words of love under a starry sky, projectors such as Starry Sky will help.

You can light an aroma lamp with ylang-ylang, cinnamon, patchouli or rosewood oils. All of them in one way or another awaken sensuality and sexuality. It is only better to experiment with oils in advance, otherwise some smell may turn out to be unpleasant for you personally.

Now about music: do not think that you can just include your list on social networks or radio. Make a selection of romantic or simply calm melodies, because when your favorite thrash metal track sounds during your beautiful words, neither you nor your other half will like it.

4. Food and drinks

If you do not go to a restaurant, it is better not to order food at home, but to cook it yourself. This will become another joint creative act, because of course you will not cook soup or porridge, but some cool dishes. For example, desserts, from one type of which salivating already.

You can cook pizza or experiment with the ingredients of a dish. If it works out deliciously, you can write down this recipe as your "signature" dish and give it your name.

The same applies to drinks - you can endlessly experiment with the composition of cocktails, add different ingredients and enjoy unusual tastes. The main thing is not to overdo it with a tasting, otherwise the evening will end not quite romantic.

5. Games and not only role-playing

Adults love to play no less than children, so why not play together - minutes of laughter and sincere enthusiasm are provided for you. True or action, a twister with colored circles on the floor, even an ordinary crocodile - show your imagination.

If you would like something more romantic, with an erotic connotation, there is even a special application that is more convenient to play with and easier to choose what.

6. Photoshoot

Only the one who is sure that it goes badly on the photo does not like taking pictures, but if you and the couple can always remove the photo when you have fun enough, why not?

Here, one can not do without imagination: come up with your own images, you can take a picture in each other’s clothes, arrange a little home cosplay or just cool outfits from everything in the closet. From the best photos you can make a collage or print them as decoration for your apartment.

7. Look for gifts

This is an interesting method that can be used generally everywhere: at home, on the street or in a shopping center, however, it will be more convenient at home. The bottom line is that you pre-harvest a card or leaflets with inscriptions by which your passion will look for your gift.

The game becomes interesting even at the thought-out stage: for instructions, you can use puzzles from your shared memories and incidents, for example, a photo next to the window will mean that the next clue is somewhere out there, and on the back you can write clarifications in the form of a riddle or verse - the scope for imagination is simply immense.

As a result, everyone will enjoy - the game itself will become a gift, and at the end of the quests a material gift will be waiting.

8. First date

Even remembering the bright start of the relationship is very nice that many do from time to time, but what about “relive it all again”? You can not just imagine, but play with your other half your first date or moment of acquaintance.

Take this seriously, and the sensations will be more than pleasant: the same phrases, perhaps the same clothes, you can even turn on the music that you were listening at that time - musical compositions perfectly retain memories.

9. Massage

If you cannot order a massage in the SPA-salon, you can do it yourself - it is very pleasant, relaxes and gives an indescribable feeling, even if you are not at all professional in this matter.

To diversify your technique a lot, you can watch videos on Youtube, for example, tricks classic massage   . Massage of the back, legs and feet, aromatic oils, relaxing music, candles: you can relieve stress for the whole month.

10. Think over the script and be ready for anything

From all of the above, you can make a good script for the holiday, filling it with sweet surprises and a feeling of mutual tenderness. Just do not delay the preparation until the last, because the necessary attributes may not be in the nearest store.

In addition, your ideal clear holiday plan may crumble due to the banal unwillingness of the partner to participate in something or lack of mood. The main thing to remember here is why you are organizing your holiday: to please your partner and yourself, strengthen relationships and again feel bright, strong emotions.

Do whatever pleases both of you and enjoy the evening.

For many lovers and non-lovers on the eve valentines day   the question arises, where and how to spend it? Celebrating this holiday at home is a great idea.

However, color selection   it also depends on age: if young people prefer bright, contrasting colors, then older people are more fond of pastel, muted tones.

The room can also be decorated heart shaped pillows   or prepare special decorations. If a party is planned, then the room can be made more playful, on the walls you can hang bright colorful posters with romantic slogans and rhymes, declarations of love and the names of all the couples present at the party.

Psychologist's opinion

Today   Valentine's Day   most associated with gifts, and this is not entirely correct. After all, gifts are just one of the elements of love. We are able to express our love in five “languages”: tenderness, that is, physical manifestations of love, encouragement, support, spending time together and gifts. And if you express your feelings in all these languages, the question is, how to spend lovers day   disappears altogether.

You can carry it out in many ways. It is not necessary to give some leaflets, you can just help your loved one, support him. You can make a pleasant surprise. It doesn’t have to be some kind of expensive gift, just do something do it yourself. The main thing is that the thing should be presented with love. To pleasantly surprise your soul mate, write a poem for her.

Interior decoration   crucial to create a holiday is not. Unless a person puts some special significance in one or another interior elements, their location. In fact, the effect of auto-suggestion is triggered. For us, only what matters to us matters.

Garlands are one of the easiest and most effective ways to decorate a home. On a holiday of dedicated love, it is customary to make them in the form of hearts from paper in different shades of pink. Check out these options for making garlands:
