Looking for creative Valentine’s Day ideas this year? Valentine’s Day 2021 will likely be different than previous years. With many people choosing to stay home, the usual Feb. 14 plans are off the date-night docket. But just because fancy dinner and a movie aren’t on the schedule, doesn’t mean your 2021 Valentine’s Day plans are canceled! Whether you’re spending it with your Valentine, with a few close friends, or going solo, here’s how to make the best Valentine’s Day plans at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being single on Valentine’s Day is the perfect chance to treat your #1 — you! Learning to love yourself can be a challenging and lifelong undertaking. If you don’t already practice self-love on a regular basis, now’s a great time to start. For self-love Valentine’s Day ideas, take a moment to appreciate all the amazing things you do for yourself, and how awesome you are! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Indulge in your favorite things.<\/strong> Whatever it is that truly makes you happy, do it! Whether it’s curling up with a good book, grabbing a sweaty gym session, or baking bread, you deserve to do it on Valentine’s Day. <\/li>
  2. Get crafty and creative.<\/strong> Engage your brain in a new way and do something creative on Valentine’s Day! For example, you can try your hand at a virtual wine and paint night, learn how to decorate a cake, or even DIY some decor. Remember, part of self-love is accepting that you’re not perfect at everything, so it’s ok to make mistakes and laugh at yourself if it’s a total fail. It’s all about enjoying yourself, after all!<\/li>
  3. Have a self-love spa day at home.<\/strong> Nothing says self-love quite like unplugging and pampering yourself for a day. Leave the laptop off, and get out your comfiest robe. Take a long, relaxing bath, sip on some DIY spa water, and play soothing music. Use candles or aromatherapy to set the mood and enhance your at-home spa vibes. Book a professional massage at home<\/a> with Soothe to really go all-out for yourself on Valentine’s Day!<\/li>
  4. Write love notes.<\/strong> No, not to your crush. A great way to manifest more gratitude<\/a> and self-love is to write it down. Writing love notes to yourself might feel weird, but we promise it works! Take time to focus on all the things you love about yourself and are thankful for in your life. If you’re feeling really inspired, thank-you notes also make a heartfelt Valentine’s Day gift for your friends and family!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
