Bedroom Valentine's Makeover
Since the coronavirus prevents us from spending the day in a luxurious hotel room, why not bring the lavish hotel room vibe in your own love nest? The DIY project doesn't have to be a complete overhaul; a little retouch will do.
Start by changing the sheets and duvet, getting new fluffy pillows, and a few bedroom accessories. Create an ultimate romantic vibe by adding rose petals around the room and putting up string lights to create a stary night feel. You can also light a scented candle or spray your partner's favorite refreshing scent to set the mood.
Go the extra mile by adding a bottle of wine and chocolates to give your lover the ultimate luxury hotel experience.
Plant Flowers in the Garden

A bouquet of roses would undoubtedly make your girlfriend or wife feel loved on Valentine's Day, but giving her a full garden is something they could enjoy and treasure in the years to come. Instead of throwing thousands of bucks on a bouquet of roses, use it to buy plant essentials and grow your garden where you can easily pick flowers every date night.
Invest in Rocking Chair

Imagine spending a quiet Valentine's Day morning or watching the sunset in the afternoon while lounging on a quality couple rocking chair. Can you see yourself doing it with your partner for the rest of your life? If yes, then go ahead and shop for rocking chair sets that you can place on the porch, patio, or backyard for some quiet time with your boo. Rocking chairs are a lovely gift as you and your partner will enjoy them in the years to come.
Put an Outdoor Swing
If the rocking chair is not your thing, then go ahead and unleash the kid inside you by putting up an outdoor swing or hammock in the garden or backyard. It is another area where you can spend time together while sipping coffee and talking about the future.
