Do your Valentine’s Day plans consist of “staying in” this year? As these last few months were spent being cooped up inside, it can be difficult to think of your home as a romantic date destination. You’re in luck because your friends here at City Line, Trumbull’s best local florist, created a unique guide for staying in this Valentine’s Day. Whether you want some “me time,” ways to spread love and kindness, or sweet ideas for your honey, we have you covered. 

Seven Unique At-Home Date Ideas

Play Nostalgic Board Games

From “Twister” to “Chess,” board games are about to be the hit of your at-home Valentine’s Day. Blow the dust off timeless classics and allow yourselves to act like children together. You’ll both enjoy an old kind of fun as you let the games begin. 

Find “Your Movie”

Some couples have “their song,” so why can’t you have “your movie?” Have fun going back and forth watching your best-loved films. Then, agree on a final flick to end your great movie marathon. After a day of movie-watching, you’ll settle on one or two that you’ll always treasure as “your movie.”

Make a Loving Donation

A donation that comes from the heart and benefits your community is the greatest form of love. A loving donation can be made with your honey, for a generous Valentine’s Day activity, or all on your own. Spread love to people in need by delivering food, clothing, monetary donations, or even your time. After selecting an organization, one that might tug at your heart, everything will fall into place.

Admire Romantic Flowers

Add the finishing touch to your romantic candlelight dinner with a breathtaking flower arrangement. From appetizers to desserts, beautiful blooms are a must-have as you set the table. Choose from classic roses for a traditional Valentine’s Day, or something unique to brighten their mood, like our “Watermelon Sugar” bouquet.

Build a Jigsaw Puzzle

Settle in for a day of self-care and a heartwarming jigsaw. Piece by piece, you’ll enjoy putting together a puzzle and escaping reality for the day.  It’s a calming task with a beautiful reward that you can even frame if you wish. Choose a puzzle that makes you happy, like a favorite adventure, place, hobby, or movie. 

Pair Wine and Chocolate

Fill your home with sweetness and love as you plan your very own chocolate and wine pairing. From the comfort of your kitchen, purchase a mouth-watering assortment of chocolate and the finest wines you can find. Create different combinations with your Valentine as you taste something unique together. 

Take a Romantic Stroll

If you plan on spending all day in the house, make sure to set aside time to get some fresh air, too. Walk hand-in-hand with your sweetheart as you clutch a hot beverage in the other. Breathe in the romance as you stroll through your neighborhood or a nearby park, and simply talk without distractions.

Do what really matters to you this year. It’s okay to turn off your phone and unplug for the day. Be present as you practice self-love or share love, and make today special with a breathtaking ambiance. We know some people ready to help here at City Line.
