What to do on Valentine's Day

Just as there are a thousand ways to say "I love you", there are a thousand ways to celebrate February 14. Whether you want a romantic Valentine's Day or a naughty one, here you will find all the ideas to make this day a success.

Lover's Day or Commercial Party? If your darling says to you: "Valentine's Day, with you, it's every day", for him, it's rather the second option. But, if you find that February 14th is romantic, and you want to celebrate it, here are a few ideas.

Besides, while the love season is more in summer, why do we celebrate love in the middle of winter? Here's the real story of Valentine's Day. The origin of this festival dates back to the 14th century in England. At that time when sexuality still rhymed a lot with reproduction, February 14 was celebrated as a lovers' day because it was believed that birds were mating on this day.

A Catholic holiday until the middle of the 19th century, Saint Valentine then became the patron saint of lovers, and the latter had to renew their vows on that day. It became a commercial celebration in the United States in the 1950s, with the purchase of cards reminiscent of the small notes that lovers exchanged.

Over time, the cards gave way to gifts adorned with hearts, chocolates, flowers, and jewelry.

How to organize a successful February 14?

A successful Valentine's Day is first and foremost a Valentine's Day that looks like you. By you, we mean the two people who make up your couple of course. Would you rather plan a surprise or organize something together? Would you rather improvise a trip or do the classic restaurant date? Talk about it, at least to find out what each of you wants.

If you are planning a restaurant on Valentine's Day, book in advance, tables are popular that evening. Do you prefer to organize a house dinner this year? We love it too. Between each dish, nothing better than a break for a little game or sexy challenge.

What we also like are the personalized menus. A dish that recalls your first date, or a crucial event in your relationship, or an ingredient that he or she particularly loves can be good leads.

There are plenty of Valentine's Day date ideas to celebrate this special day.

There is no denying it, gifting is also still part of the program for many couples. Of the 64% of people who celebrate Valentine's Day, 52% offer a present to their better half. In gifts for women, cards, jewelry, flowers, perfume, make-up, and lingerie are popular.

If you are looking for a gift for men, look for a selection of perfumes for men, clothing, watches - or pick something according to his hobbies or things he likes - for example, pick a cute Valentine's Day gift for fans of Batman.

But there are also much more personal gifts. Queries to find a Valentine's Day poem increase by 250% the week before V-Day on Google. Some verses of your creation will also be welcome. You can also make your own gift. A playlist, a photo frame, or something even more artistic? DIY tutorials are here to serve you.
