Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year, so staying in may not be considered socially acceptable. However, if your apartment is properly decorated and ready for the romance holiday, your friends and your partner won’t judge you. Here are eight ways that you can woo your friends and loved ones without putting in crazy effort.
1. Show your partner they’re the missing piece to your heart … with a puzzle
Get a customized couple puzzle for your coffee table this weekend. (WARNING: Not suggested for those who have been in relationships for less than a month.)
2. Bottle up your emotions with DIY Valentine’s Day jars
What says “I love you” more than a pink jar? Recycle your old mason jars and turn them into vases or fill them with Valentine’s Day candy to fill your apartment with “Kisses”. You don’t have to be a DIY connoisseur to know that painted mason jars can go a long way.
3. Personalize your wine glasses
Personalize your own wine glasses or find them on Etsy. When your date or Valentine’s Day party guests catch a glimpse of the witty phrases running across your wine glasses, they’ll be swooning in no time. And the wine probably won’t hurt either.
4. Be blunt with an “I <3 You” banner
Possibly the most forward way to tell your partner you love them is with a giant banner, reading, “I LOVE YOU” on the wall.
5. Create a makeshift cozy corner
Nothing says romance like a plethora of pillows and blankets stacked upon cushions. Cuddle your Valentine’s night away with your partner and your customized wine glasses.
6. Make your own mood with DIY lighting
Who needs a $500 dollar lamp when you can create a space utopia in your own apartment? Find one of these DIY galaxy night projectors for $12.99 here.
6. Engage your senses with aromatherapy
Nothing makes a beautifully decorated apartment better than a pleasant scent. Calm your nerves this Valentine’s Day with an aromatherapy corner. Make use of incense, candles, scent sticks and essential oils. Better yet? Make your own.
7. Take puppy love to a whole new level
There’s no better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with your soulmate. That’s right – we’re talking about your pet. Get your pup a Valentine’s Day-themed bed or play corner at DoggieVogue.
8. …and if you’re not feeling Valentine’s Day, show it
There’s nothing wrong with being single on Valentine’s Day. There’s also nothing wrong with being cynical about it Valentine’s Day. Decorate your apartment and have an Anti-Valentine’s Day celebration with your pals to celebrate your freedom.
