Valentine's Day is also increasingly celebrated in the Netherlands. How about you? Do you surprise your partner on The Day of Love † Or do you think it is no longer a surprise at all? Then you may not be approaching it original enough. Do you always come with a bunch of flowers on Valentine's Day? Then our Valentine's Day ideas might be something for you. With these tips for fun Valentine's Day ideas, you can play the Casanova for a while without too much effort.
Love is… free 😉
Do you see Valentine's Day more as the day of commerce than the day of love? That's okay, I secretly do too. But unless your partner is a gold digger, you can of course also surprise him or her with things that are completely no price tag depends on. At least as romantic!
A bed full of rose petals doesn't have to cost a lot, does it? With a bit of luck you can easily get them from the neighbor's garden – haha, no, unfortunately, too bad Valentine's Day falls in February. Or hang your house full of photos of you, give your sweetheart a wonderful massage, or attach a romantic note to the dog's collar. Happiness and being surprised is in the small things. Do you have any original Valentine's Day ideas to give your sweetheart the Valentine's Day of his or her life? We'd love to hear them!

As mentioned, great ideas for February 14 do not necessarily have to cost a lot of money. The Valentine's Day ideas below are useful if you're short on cash -and original-.
Love, as Theo Maassen said:“They should write a song about that!”. Do you have a song together? Or maybe a lot? Then make an old-fashioned CD or modern playlist with your songs for your Valentine. Then even the most inveterate Valentine-hater will probably sing a little lower. It's nice to have a separate playlist of 'your' songs, isn't it? If you really want to take a romantic approach, you can of course also write a song or poem yourself. Isn't that one of your talents? Then below are some fantastic tips for you.
First of all… do you have children? Try to house them with grandparents, a dear friend or a family member. Does this not work? Don't worry, even then it can still be fun .
This budget tip requires a little preparation. You have to make sure that your sweetheart has the day off on February 14th. Of course without him knowing 😉 , you arrange a day off for him (and of course also for yourself).
On the day itself, you simply let the alarm go off in the morning. Only when he wants to get out of bed do you stop him and tell him that you want to binge-watch together all day in bed. Of course your sweetie calls that he wants that too, but that work has to be done and then you surprise him with your present. Get tasty things for the whole day in advance and start the morning with a delicious breakfast as indicated below. TV on and you are ready to go!
This day can't go wrong!
Now I hear you think… yes nice then! Wouldn't you give budget tips for fun Valentine's Day ideas that are free? I'll tell you… so is this one! Even if you don't have a jacuzzi in your backyard (we don't have either), you can still relax for an afternoon for free in one or more jacuzzis.
The secret: check at which companies you can try jacuzzis. Many companies that sell jacuzzis offer the opportunity to try out the jacuzzi in their showroom - in a remote spot. Free and for nothing!
All you have to do is pretend you want to buy a jacuzzi, hold in your laughter and enjoy. Is still exciting too 😉 . And that champagne? Well, you just have to think about that.
It sounds like something that happened a long time ago. And if you've been living together for a while, then maybe that's the case. Sex in the car is usually more for young adults, but hey… then it has two advantages:
Bet you won't be able to think of much else for the next two months once you get in the car together!
Are you not a huge romantic or do you find the above ideas a bit too exciting or special? Then you will have to make do with the number 5 of our Valentine's Day ideas:a romantic Valentine breakfast † Although we don't think this one is really original, it is of course a great start to the day. Can your darling stay for a while while you arrange everything:isn't that a gift in itself? Although… it is of course nice to add some small special things!
Get all the favorites of your loved one for breakfast. Fortunately, you can simply hide it in your garden or on your balcony in February. This keeps the fridge 'surprisingly' empty. Add eggs, strawberries, maybe a croissant? Although love goes through the stomach, the eye wants something too! For example, put some romantic candles on the table or on the tray as a Valentine's gift. Very useful if you are not so good with words.
Especially if you want to surprise your partner with our Valentine's Day ideas, it is smart to also look at the details! Playing your own playlist softly in the background… you can't miss that, can you? To top it off, serve breakfast on a personalized tray with a romantic photo of you. Can that breakfast also be served in bed!
Would you rather keep your bunch of flowers in it as a gift? There's nothing wrong with that, of course! To be honest… I would be very happy with a bunch of flowers, but that is probably because my partner is not a die-hard romantic 😉 . Go for something extra with your bunch of flowers this year and score this beautiful vase for the breakfast table. A lasting memory that you can use again next year.
