6 Easy Ways to Spice Up Your Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, which means trying to figure out the best gift for your significant other. It can be so hard to pick the perfect way to celebrate.
Plus, you don’t want a dull hum and drum celebration. This is the one day of the year you must go all out to show your love. And it doesn’t have to be that hard to spice up your Valentine’s Day.
One of my favorite recollections is Claire and Phil from Modern Family, who try to spice up their Valentine’s Day every year. They try something exciting (which usually goes wrong) but have fun in the process.
And on that note, you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to show your love for your significant other on Valentine’s Day. Check out these six easy ways to spice up your Valentines Day this year and make it affordable.
1. Lovers Spa Kit
Everybody loves a good spa day, whether they’re young or old, male or female, or anywhere in between. We all enjoy being pampered and having someone cater to our needs.
Why not do that with your significant other? This Valentine’s Day, take turns being each other’s personal masseuse and catering to each other’s needs.
How can you present this to your partner? It could also be exciting to prepare a massage basket with little bits of hot oil, bath salts, and many other items you know would please them.
Or you could make it a full-day event and present them with a different spa treat each hour. That’s what’s a great idea,
You can go as big or as little as you want without breaking the bank. You could always purchase one if you genuinely can’t think of anything to put together for the lover’s spa kit. Of course, it will be a much more thoughtful gift if you put it together.
However, I do understand that it can be a lot of pressure to put that together, or you may just not have time. Well, you can always just purchase one. Amazon has a whole host of great lover’s spa kits, ranging from a traveler’s kit to a deluxe package.
The lovers’ spa kit includes edible passionfruit massage oil, a scented bubble bath, a coconut water scrub, and a handheld massager. You could make this a treat that solely focuses on them or a treat for the both of you. But I mean, it is called a lovers’ spa kit, so you could take it as far as you both want. That’ll definitely spice up your Valentine’s Day. *wink, wink*.
2. Steamy Date Ideas
Why stop at just one day of romance? Instead, you could gift them with a host of preplanned steamy dates. You could plan it out for the whole month of February or one a month for the entire year. Your first (or steamiest) date could occur on Valentine’s Day.
Doing this guarantees you will spice up your Valentine’s Day and the romance in your relationship. Each date could have just that unique extra spice to excite things. Your significant other will always be looking forward to the next date.
What could these steamy dates be, you ask? I would say cater to your partner’s fantasies or things they’ve always wanted to try. Or you may want to even cater it to how long the two of you have been together. If you have been together for many years, maybe try getting super dressed up and going to a nice restaurant and perhaps a hotel room for the night.
Or go out dancing for the evening. There truly is something erotic about being able to go out with your partner all dressed up and dancing the night away. If you want to take it up a notch, try something you have never done before, like skinny dipping or reading some erotica together. You can take an expected date and add that extra spice to it *wink wink* (just go ahead and expect a wink-wink at the end of each section).
3. Romantic Homemade Gifts
You can never go wrong with a homemade gift. People love receiving handmade gifts because it shows that you put that extra thought into them with the recipient in mind. I do not mention some little arts and crafts when I say homemade gifts. I’m saying create something that you know your significant other would appreciate.
You might think this sounds like a lame gift and could not possibly be a way to spice up your Valentine’s Day and I would maybe be skeptical as well. But stay with me here.
If I came home to my significant other building me a custom-made bookshelf, I would immediately strip their clothes off. Without hesitation. It shows that they have been listening to my needs and went out of their way to make it themselves.
Or picture that you’ve comehomee. Your partner and Ihhavea shoe rack for you or something you need. You can’t tell me you would not automatically be turned on. You may also be questioning if that is considered romantic.
What could be more romantic than creating your partner, something that you know they’ve been wanting or needing and will use? That’s the thing with Valentine’s Day. Everyone is purchasing gifts that will only last a few days. However, creating something like this will last them a lifetime and win you some brownie points later that night *wink wink*. Watch the video below for more.
If you can’t think of something they may have needed, you can still create a gift they will love and enjoy for days to come. Youtuber Lauren Jane made a video on DIY Valentine’s Day gift ideas you could give your significant other. So, if all else fails, give that a shot because you and a thoughtful gift still create it.
4. Hotel Room Date
Now, while speaking about spicing things up, there is no better spice than getting a hotel room. There is just something about staying in a place that is neutral territory for both of you, and it can be such a turn-on. It is also a definite plus that no matter how much of a mess you make, someone else will clean it up. That is exciting.
Getting a hotel room for the two of you can be a great way to spice up your Valentine’s Day. Having a room does not have to be the most exciting; you can also get some romantic decorations for hotel rooms.
Get some candles to set the mood, turn on romantic music, order room service, and see where the night takes you. You could even bring that lover’s spa kit to the room for you to enjoy.
One of the best parts is being able to relax without expectations of having to clean or anything. Now, you may be fearful of this idea because hotel rooms can be very expensive, and you are right.
If you look at Hotels.com, you can find a great hotel room for an affordable price. If you book up to 10 nights with Hotel.com, you get your 11th night free.
It gets better.
They always have great sales and send you secret prices if you sign up with Hotels.com Rewards. So you can be comforted by knowing that you’re saving money and giving your significant other a good time *wink wink* (there it is again).
5. Try Something New
Why not try something new with your partner while discussing hotel rooms and the excitement they can bring? You can spice up your Valentine’s Day by trying something new neither one of you has done. This can be something sexual or something out of the box. You could try a new position or go skydiving together.
Either way, trying something new is guaranteed to bring the two of you closer together. Plus, depending on the activity, it can be an adrenaline boost that releases endorphins and provides excitement for both of you.
The key to it is to try something neither of you has done. It lacks excitement if you have done it before and the other has not. This way, you are both stepping out of your comfort zone. Whether you choose something sexual or not, it’s so exciting because you and your partner are like explorers taking on some new frontier.
The best part?
If you’re not up for trying something new, doing something unexpected can have the same results. You are allowed to do Shakinshakingp, and breaking the norm will be a turn-on for both of you. Have sex on the kitchen table instead of the bedroom or go to the drive-in instead of the movie theater.
I just threw those two extremes at you, but that’s what you need: something extreme that breaks from routine. Trust me. You two will come to see how much you enjoy a change in routine now and then *wink wink*.
6. Game Night…with a Sexy Twist
Why not take something you usually do and a twist to it? You and your significant other have probably had a game night together, but why not give it a sexy spin?
Like in college, when you could turn any game into a drinking game, you can do the same with a game night. Make it strip Uno. Or maybe you would prefer a steamy truth or dare. There could even be sexual favors in Monopoly.
Just take one of your favorite games the two of you enjoy playing and add a sexy spin to it. This is a perfect way to spice up your Valentine’s Day if you cannot go out to celebrate or are on a really tight budget.
So, instead of spending money to spice up your Valentine’s Day, you can just take something you already have and make it hot for the two of you.
Here’s the deal, though.
If you want to take it a step up from your usual board games, you can create your own, using some pieces you may have around the house. One great one is Sexy Task Box, which the Huffington Post talks about and can take place over a longer amount of time than just a day.
Each person in the couple must write down 5-15 things they want to try. They fold the paper, throw it in a hat, and then schedule how often you try them (Huffington Post).
Suppose you want to try some games created explicitly with couples in mind. In that case, there are great ones, such as AmazAmazon Sex Game, which is a collection of a couple’s activities in the bedroom or outside of it and would be an excellent treat for the two of you to try out on Valentine’s Day.
So Go For It!
Let’s squash all of the boring past Valentine’s Day celebrations. You and your significant other will no longer have to have a hum and drum day again. Nor do you need to spend a fortune again on Valentine’s gifts that will only last a few days (if even that).
With these six ideas, you can create something that means more and will last much longer. You two will spice up your Valentine’s Day and make some memories to remember *wink wink* (the last one, I promise).
