Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to just be one day - it’s a wonderful opportunity to remind ourselves of the enjoyment and importance of time together.
Valentine’s Day is typically rung in with a raft of balloons, grand gestures and high expectations. All of which are beautiful, happy-making things that we all enjoy. However, if we look beyond all that, it’s also a wonderful opportunity to remind ourselves of the enjoyment and importance of time together, and to set intentions to do more of it moving forward. Here we look at a few ways to make that loving feeling last.
This year Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday, which is a good reminder that celebrations don't have to be limited to one day - in fact, on this occasion it could be a three-day getaway if you feel like it! Even if you’re going out for dinner, having a date night in together or doing something special on 14th February itself, a Valentine’s gift that gives you something to look forward to as well carries all the more meaning. Naturally, Spabreaks.com spa gift vouchers offer the ideal opportunity to do just that. Especially if you get the gift box variety, which gives you feel-good factor products to use now, as well as the chance to plan where to go and when for even more quality time together.
If you and your partner are quiet souls looking to escape the madding crowd, booking a romantic spa break a few days after the actual Valentine’s weekend can be a great way to have something to look forward to whilst avoiding the busier days of the month. Why not make plans to stay in on Valentine's Day itself, exchanging gifts with the promise of a special getaway the weekend before, after, or even in the middle of the week? You could even treat your other half to a surprise spa evening after work to add extra, unexpected feel-good factor to your time together.
While life has a habit of getting busy, and we all get caught up in the day to day minutiae, it's helpful to remember that time together isn’t just for Valentine’s Day. This day of hearts and Hallmark cards is a good reminder of how nice it feels to do something special with the person we love. So, why not use it as a chance to set a new intention to spend more quality time together?
Make plans large and small, for things to look forward to in the coming weeks and months. Maybe it’s booking that spa break so you can relax and unwind together without interruption. Maybe it’s organising a babysitter and staying home to watch a movie in peace and quiet. Or perhaps it’s going for a walk and simply having the chance to reconnect.
However you spend Valentine’s Day this year, make sure to make the time together last.
