Lovely Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day at Home

Ahh Valentine’s Day... the flowers, heart shaped candies, fine jewelry, and a quiet evening together at expensive restaurant for dinner. These are all wonderful ways to express your love and affection toward your significant other, but Valentine’s Day is also a terrific holiday to remind the people around you how much you care about them, especially your family. Before you confirm your Valentine’s Day plans this year, consider some of these lovely ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the non-traditional way:

Exchange Valentines with your children at home. Remember those days when you were a kid in elementary school and you exchanged Valentine’s Day cards in the mailbox you made during art class? A great family-friendly activity for Valentine’s Day is to have your children write Valentines to each member of the family of what they love the most about them. Each of you can even create your own mailbox from a recycled shoe or cereal box.

Throw a party! A fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is to invite your friends over for a Valentine’s Day themed party. It doesn’t really matter if people are single or attached to anyone, Valentine’s Day is a great way to share the love with your friends, and it gives you the opportunity to possibly meet someone if you are single.

Have a heart. People aren’t the only ones who need love on Valentine’s Day, pets need affection too!. Talk with your family about supporting a local animal shelter or even adopting a pet who need a loving home.

Know anyone who recently had a baby? A really sweet thing you can do for a friend is to bring the couple a homemade Valentine’s Day themed dessert. Better yet, one of the best gifts you can offer is to babysit while they have a night out together.
