Couples who regularly express their feelings for one another may run out of ideas when Valentine's Day arrives. Here are five unique ways to celebrate in 2025.

This may or may not already be a go-to for couples, but it remains a favorite. Breakfast in bed is a thoughtful way of showing your love by making a meal and allowing your partner to rest. 

Breakfast in Bed

Spice things up by adding a new item to their regular menu, perhaps one of their favorite foods. You could also share a handwritten note detailing your romantic plans for the night.

Sending flowers may be seen as common, but with the opportunity to create custom bouquets there are endless options to surprise your partner with.

Now that you're a couple, you may know your partner's favorite flower. If not, you know their favorite color or vibe and can work from there. Use memories that you share to inspire you as well. 

Something about that scene from Ghost screams romance to cinema lovers. Recreate this iconic movie moment with your special someone.

Making something with your significant other in mind is a sweet gesture. Take into consideration their likes and create a keepsake that'll last forever. 

Getting your significant other out of the house may prove difficult or easy. Either way, get creative in encouraging them to go for a walk or to the store and set the scene for a night of love. 

Set the Mood

You can create a little indoor picnic in the living room space, dress the floor with rose petals and set up candle areas throughout the room. Make the effort to amplify the intimacy. 

The romantic getaway may fall on or after Valentine's Day depending on your schedules. Regardless, a trip is still a trip – especially with the person you love. 

Plan a Romantic Getaway

Look for opportunities to surprise your mate like ordering room service, getting a massage together or booking their favorite activity. Take advantage time spent together, just the two of you.
