It’s the season of love, romance and passion.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, now is the perfect time to find some inspiration on how to impress your special someone and show them just how much you adore them.

From grand gestures to small acts of affection, there are plenty of ways in which you can show your love and make your partner swoon.

Keep reading for some ideas and inspiration!

Cook From the Heart

If the way to your partner’s heart is through their belly, then this idea is for you!

Surprise your valentine with breakfast in bed and treat them to a home cooked breakfast dish or bakery treat. Waking them up with the delicious scent of their favourite coffee and some tasty food is a thoughtful way to show that you care.

Why stop at breakfast when you can whip up some romance at dinnertime? Show off your cooking skills with your best mouth-watering recipe and make your partner feel special with a dish made just for them, with love.

Staying at home for Valentine’s Day and cooking for your special someone in an intimate setting gives you the opportunity to talk and get closer, sharing a bottle of wine while basking in each other’s presence.

Homemade With Love

If cooking isn’t your forte, there are plenty of other ways to conjure up a thoughtful gift for your valentine.

Bring back the mixtape! For a simple and financially friendly way of demonstrating your feelings, creating a personalised playlist shows that you have put thought, time and care into compiling a list of meaningful songs that your partner will love.

Another great gesture can be using your skills to create something meaningful and personal. Painting a picture, writing a song, crafting something, etc. – whatever your hobbies are, try getting creative with your talents and design something personal that is homemade with love.

For those who are unsure where to turn, framed photos and personalised gifts can go a long way. Choose your favourite photo of you and your valentine and place it in a nice frame or personalise a trinket with a heartfelt message.

It's a Date!

It’s not all about the gifts! Spending quality time with your valentine and doing something special together is an important way to deepen your bond and reignite the spark.

For those who want to go the extra mile, why not plan a date night, activity or getaway that will allow you and your partner to spend some quality time together and fan the flames of love.

Whether it’s a romantic meal in a restaurant, a fun activity to get you both laughing and smiling, or a weekend away from routine and responsibilities, be sure to schedule in a special activity that will enable you both to fully enjoy each other and make memories that will last forever.

A Sensual Spa Session

For those who can’t get away or who prefer a cosy and intimate night in, treat your valentine to a home spa evening filled with luxurious scents, sights and sounds. Pampering your partner is a great way to help them relax, de-stress and feel good about themselves.

Get the hot water running for a nice bubble bath and infuse it with plenty of oils, salts and soaks. For that extra serving of romance, sprinkle some flower petals across the surface and accompany with candles and a bottle of wine.

Why not follow up with a one-to-one massage? Aside from relaxing your partner, this is a great way to enhance your intimacy through physical contact.

Don't Mess with the Classics

Making any kind of effort for the one you love will go a long way and sometimes, simple is best. After all, it’s the thought that counts!

Keep it classic with a meaningful card filled with a heart-warming message to your valentine. Pair your swoon worthy card with a small token of love such as a beautiful bunch of flowers, bottle of bubbly or a box of chocolates (or all the above) to really spoil them.

Surprising your partner with a meaningful message or token will make them feel special and adored, so show them you care with a small or large token of your love!
