Creative Ways to Celebrate Valentine's & Galentine's Day at Home
There’s no rule stating you must leave your house to have a good time on V-Day. In fact, your day might be even better if you never step foot outside. Think about it: no traffic to deal with, no weather to worry about, no crowded restaurants who insist you never made a reservation even though you’re positive you did. Sounds dreamy, right?
Turn your V-Day anxiety into a thing of the past with these at-home Valentine’s Day ideas. These plans are perfect for anyone partnered, riding solo, or hosting a Galentine’s Day celebration (just don’t forget to invite us, lol). Let’s get planning.
At-Home Spa Date Night
If you’re hunting for romantic ideas for Valentine’s Day at home, this one takes the cake. Everyone loves a spa experience and everyone loves to be pampered by their loved one, so why not put both of those concepts together and create a custom at-home spa? It’s fun, it’s flirty, and it’s relaxing for everyone involved. Win, win, win.
Make it cute by designing a menu of the spa activities you have planned. Our fave spa-necessities are matching pairs of Undies, massages, mud masks, and sensory-enhancing meditations (just light some candles and close your eyes). Not only will your menu make an excellent scrapbook item later, it’ll showcase your creativity. Your date will have no choice but to fall deeper in love with you.
This idea also works well for a small or large group because, again, who doesn’t love a spa experience? Sheet masks for everyone!
Movie and Dessert Combo
It can feel daunting to be one half of a Valentine’s Day couple. Keep it low-key and stress-free by transforming your home into a luxury movie theater. Start by making a blanket fort in the middle of your living room using every pillow in your house. Next, prepare some top-tier snacks. Popcorn and candy are classics, but what if you served homemade tiramisu or a five-layer cake? Don’t put yourself in a box! You got this.
Bond through something scary or laugh your way into love with a comedy. Whatever you choose, make sure your date approves (they might have seen it already—disaster!). If you’re planning a Galentine’s Day bash, good luck on getting everyone to agree on something.
P.S. The best part of creating your own movie theater experience is being able to set your own dress code. Make it a pajama night, a theme night, or just an Undies night. The comfier, the better!
Game Night
Valentine’s Day at home doesn’t have to be romantic, relaxing, or even quiet. Invite the chaos by hosting a game night. If they’re a big Queen’s Gambit fan, try winning them over with a game of chess. Dating more of a wordsmith? Scrabble’s still cool. If you’re interested in something more tactile, giant Jenga is extremely fun!
Game night is a great group activity idea, unless you’re friends with a lot of cheaters. In that case, y’all should do the movie night (see: above). But for everyone else, games are a very fun and memorable way to spend Valentine’s
Day. Pro-tip: get an instant camera and plenty of film so everyone can go home with a super-cute keepsake.
Hiking Date
This idea will resonate with all the nature-lovers out there. Is there anything more romantic than appreciating mother nature with the one you love? All the people who claim to love hiking on their dating profiles don’t seem to think so!
Take your date on a sunset hike with dazzling views and prepare for passion to spark. You’ll both glow in the light of golden hour and your date will be impressed by your woodsy attitude. Bonus points: bring a picnic of their favorite foods. Just don’t forget the water.
Help your date get into the hiking spirit by giving them the gift of our Breathe Undies, Socks, and Bralettes. They’re quick-drying and anti-odor so any odd smells won’t get in the way of your new relationship. You’re welcome.
A V-Day hike would also be exciting to do with your gals and pals, because indubitably one of them will wander off trail and the rest of you will have to search for them for hours. Talk about memories!
Hopefully these ideas are making you excited for what’s sure to be the best Valentine’s Day of your life. Just remember this one piece of advice: have fun! We love you. XOXO.
