No matter how old you get, you can never be too old for playing board games. It’s time to take out those old board games and have a cozy game-night with your significant other. Make sure to select games that are specially made for two players, like chess, scrabble, or the good old tic-tac-toe. Challenge your partner for a game and have the best-ever low-key Valentine’s Day. 

4. Watch Your Favorite Sitcoms Together 

The best way to spend any special occasion is by smiling and laughing with the people you love the most, and what can make you laugh more than the good old sitcoms? whether you like it or not, you can ever get enough of a classic comedy! So, light up some candles in your living room, bring out your blanket, toss some cheesy popcorn, snuggle together on the couch, and laugh your heart out with your partner while watching some good-old episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S, the Office, How I Met Your Mother or any other sitcom you both enjoy.

5. Have An Indoor Picnic 

An indoor picnic can be the best option to make your unique stay-at-home Valentine’s Day extra special. Spread out a blanket on the living room floor, get your favorite bottle of wine, add different delicacies to your picnic basket, and enjoy your cozy at-home picnic with your Valentine.

6. Decorate And Light Up Your Home 

I know that Christmas is over but who doesn’t like another reason to decorate and light up their homes? The warm, cozy, and romantic feeling those bright and beautiful lights give is just perfect for your date night. So this Valentine’s Day, light up your home with all the gorgeous fairy lights , or cafe lights and make your day even more special and memorable.

7. Plan A Cocktail Party 

A cocktail party for just two people sounds great, right? You can have your own little cocktail party this Valentine’s Day. The best part is you don’t even have to get dressed! You can attend the party in your cute Valentine’s Day PJs!

8. Make Dinner Together 

Cooking together with your loved one is one of the most romantic things ever. It makes your bond even stronger.  This year, as you don’t get to dine at your favorite restaurant, preparing a simple meal together can be just as perfect.

9. Plan A Movie Marathon 

Who needs just one movie when you can have a full movie marathon?
Going to a movie date on Valentine’s Day is quite common, but a whole day of snuggling in your blanket and watching your favorite movies back to back with your sweet can be a great way to celebrate your unique Valentine’s Day this year. You can make it even more meaningful by selecting the movies you watched during your initial dating days. How fun is that !!! Perhaps some romantic movies 🙂

10. Have A Valentine’s Day Photoshoot 

Valentine’s Day photoshoots have been trending in the last couple of years. However, because you cannot go out and get a professional photoshoot done this year, organizing a small and simple photo session in the backyard of your house, your living room or even your bedroom can be a great option.
If you like getting all dressed up for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day, this can be the perfect opportunity for it. Set up your camera or phone in the backyard, or in the living room. Search for some great photoshoot ideas on the internet, wear your best outfit, and get all dolled up for your stay-at-home Valentine’s Day photoshoot. This will not only add a unique touch to your special day, but will also give you lots of happy memories to look back and smile at.

These are some of my romantic ideas that can make your stay-at-home Valentine’s Day extra sweet and memorable.
Happy Planning !!!
