Couples massage date

There’s something euphoric and calming about getting a massage by a professional masseuse. Oftentimes, receiving massages is considered a solo experience to indulge in. Sharing the relaxing and peaceful experience of getting a massage with one's partner (at the same time and in the same room) can help make a couple feel so much closer to each other.

Hotel staycation with room service

Since Valentine's Day happens to fall on a Monday in 2022, traveling out of town somewhere far away might not sound like a reasonable plan for everyone. This is where the idea of having a staycation comes into play! Renting out a nice hotel room in your own area will make you and your partner feel like you're somewhere far away, enjoying a relaxing trip –– even though you're still close to home.

Ice skating date

One of the nicest things about Valentine’s Day is the fact that it falls inside the winter season. Ice skating is usually an activity people think of during Christmas and New Year’s Eve … but that doesn’t mean it should be totally forgotten when Valentine’s Day rolls around.

There are still plenty of ice skating rinks open and ready for business when Valentine’s Day arrives. One detail about ice skating that makes it such a romantic activity is that couples who skate together tend to hold hands in order to stay in sync while gliding through the ice –– and to keep each other a little warmer.
