While Valentine’s Day can induce feelings of romance and love, let’s be honest, many of us also feel the pressure to get it right! As much as we all want to be able to express our love to those that matter to us the most on the 14th February (or any other day really!) knowing how to do that is another story.
This year is the year to get it right and we’re here to help with some ideas to get you celebrating from sunset picnics to free manicures. And remember, Valentines isn’t just for those with partners, celebrate Galentines with your bestie or even take the opportunity to show yourself some love!
1. With Valentine’s day falling on a Friday this year, take a scenic drive through the local countryside and visit a winery or enjoy a relaxing dinner together. While you’re at it, make sure you stop and spend in the towns recovering from the effects of our recent bushfires. Checkout Road Trip for Good to help you plan!
2. Never get a minute alone normally? Take the opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet and treat yourself to a hot bubble bath with a lit candle and a glass of wine!
3. Make your partner or friend a homemade card and tell them why you love them! If you have time, even pop it in the post. Who doesn’t want to receive a happy surprise in their letterbox?
4. Busy day planned for Friday? That’s ok, get up early and treat your partner to breakfast in bed. Add some love notes to their morning toast and coffee and you'll help them start the day off right!
5. Spending time with your loved one is often the best Valentine’s gift you can give. Turn off your phones and spend some time together, watch a romantic movie, order some take-out or open a bottle of wine and enjoy each other’s company.
6. With beautiful weather predicted around Australia, pack a picnic and take your partner to a local beach or park to watch the sunset. Don’t forget the cheese!
7. Get your friends together and plan a spa day! What’s more fun than pedicures and face masks with your besties anyway?
8. Celebrate Galentines by joining us for a FREE manicure! In eight different locations around Australia, there is bound to be one near you. For all the details and to book your spot, click the link here.
