Whether you are single, in a committed relationship, or somewhere in between, Valentine’s Day can be stressful. Between the pressure to have a Valentine and giving your significant other special treatment, it can be hard to know where to start. But Valentine’s Day can also be a super romantic and fun day to celebrate love of all kinds. Let us help you out with some tips for the holiday.

#1 light some candles

We’re not sure what it is, but there’s something about candles that just set the mood (whether you’re with a partner or on your own). They provide the perfect glow on the dinner table, around the bathtub, or in the bedroom. Try lavender or rose-scented candle to bring a sensual sense of smell into the bedroom.

#2 dine in for the night

Everyone knows restaurants are packed on Valentine’s Day. Why not stay in a cook a delicious meal? It’s practical and romantic.

#3 recreate your first date

What better way for you to celebrate your relationship than to go back to where it all began? Recreate your first date or another romantic moment, and take time to reminisce about how you first fell in love.

#4 don’t forget a gift!

Of course, you don’t need material items to show your love, but a well-thought-out gift is the perfect way to show your Valentine that you care. You could go classic (flowers, chocolates, romantic card) or spice it up this year with a plusOne sexual wellness product. We recommend the plusOne Vibrating Ring so you and your partner can both experience maximum pleasure.’

#5 it’s the small things that matter.

Sure, big romantic gestures are fun, but small acts of love can be just as romantic. Bring your Valentine coffee in bed, leave them a cute note, or compliment them for no reason

#6 take turns giving each other massages

Not only does it feel good, but it is also a great excuse to touch your partner and create a stronger bond between you two. While the tension in your muscles decreases, the sexual tension builds…

#7 have a night devoted to self-care

This is for those who are their own Valentines this year. Devote the night to some self-love. Put on some comfy pajamas, watch your favorite movie, and spend some time with your favorite vibrator.

#8 dress to impress

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to dress up. Going to a fancy restaurant? Impress your partner by dressing to the nines. Staying in? Try some new lingerie or wear your partner’s favorite underwear to get them in the mood.

#9 celebrate on a different day

Who says Valentine’s day needs to be on February 14th? Sometimes we can’t devote enough time to the holiday in the middle of the work week. Find a day that works for you and your partner so you both get the attention you deserve. Whether it’s the weekend before, the day after, or two months later, all you need is love to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

#10 don’t let distance stop you

If you have a long-distance Valentine this year, make sure you show them some extra love! When you have physical space separating you, it’s all the more reason to remind your significant other that you love them. Mail him or her a card, have flowers delivered, or have a date over video chat. Sync up a romantic movie and enjoy the night together from miles apart.

#11 take a dance class

Not only is dancing fun and good exercise, it’s the perfect excuse to hold your partner close. You get to try something new together while being romantic and intimate. The best part? You can show off your new dance moves at the next wedding or party you go to. It’s the perfect date all around.

#12 plan a short getaway

If you both have a few days free, plan a short getaway. Spend some time sight-seeing in a nearby city, head to a remote ski resort, or spend a few nights in a fancy hotel. You’ll both appreciate leaving your stressful routine behind. And don’t forget to pack your favorite plusOne product with you to spice things up when you get to the hotel. Try the plusOne vibrating bullet that’s small, discrete, and perfect for travel.

#13 celebrate Galentine’s Day

Girl power! One of our favorite days of the year, Galentine’s day is the perfect time to celebrate friendships. Get your gal pals together for brunch, happy hour, or whatever else you like to do together and celebrate the love you share.

#14 remember what Valentine’s Day is really about

Getting gifts and making plans can sometimes make Valentine’s Day a little stressful, but don’t let it ruin the night! Valentine’s day is about the love you share with your Valentine. Whether it’s new love, old love, or self-love, remember to celebrate it this Valentine’s Day!
