9 Creative Ideas for Valentine’s Day

The Most Romantic Day of the Year – February 14 – is almost here. And so is the pressure to come up with something different than the usual flowers-and-candy route. Birkat Elyon has helped thousands of couples make Valentine’s Day unforgettable with high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry pieces. And we have some thoughts on creative ways to say, “I love you.”

SCAVENGER HUNT

Send your partner down Memory Lane by setting up a scavenger hunt either in your house or your neighborhood. For the clues, use favorite memories from your time together. [Bonus: throw in a special treat with a gorgeous piece of CZ jewelry from Birkat Elyon.]

DO A PUZZLE TOGETHER

OK, it may not sound romantic, but stay with us here: you can order up a custom jigsaw puzzle that use a favorite photo (or photos). Imagine sitting down together with a bottle of wine and recreating a beautiful or funny moment – literally!

LEARN A NEW DANCE TOGETHER

You’ve always wanted to go Salsa dancing. Only problem? You don’t know the first thing about how to actually do it. No worries; there are plenty of online classes and videos that will break it down. Then, set up a dance party in your living room!

RE-CREATE YOUR FIRST DATE

Remember where it all began and visit the same restaurant or movie theater, etc. If those places are no longer around, cook the same meal that you had and stream the movie that you saw.

DO A VIRTUAL MUSEUM VISIT

If you both enjoy history or art, check out the multitude of “virtual” tours offered by some of the top museums in the world.

PLAN A DREAM VACATION

Even if it’s not in the cards for right now celebrate Valentine’s Day by planning your ultimate trip together. Research the “must-see” sights and restaurants, create a file or Pinterest board as a home for all your ideas. Then, cook a dish inspired by your (eventual) destination. (Helpful hint: many seasoned globetrotters opt to wear high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry on their travels. It’s safer than bringing their expensive pieces along, and no one can tell the difference!)

BINGE ON ROMANTIC MOVIES

From classic love stories like “Casablanca” to lighthearted rom coms, there’s no shortage of great romantic movies. Grab the popcorn, snuggle up together and enjoy a silver screen feast.

CRAFT A COCKTAIL

From “Tom Collins” to “Bloody Mary,” there are signature cocktails that bear a person’s name. Why not create one for the two of you? Put your mixology skills to use and come up with a drink especially for this one special evening. Cheers!

DO SOME STARGAZING

Bundle up and head outside together to gaze up at the heavens. An app called “Night Sky” will help you identify constellations and more starry objects.

We hope these creative ideas will inspire your Valentine’s Day. Remember, Birkat Elyon can add a little extra excitement with its selection of high-quality CZ jewelry.
