Fun Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is not just for lovers! Everyone can get in on the spirit of love and appreciation this holiday. Now more than ever, it is a great time to share the love with others and find ways to celebrate the small things.

Get Creative with Paper Valentines

Make paper hearts and other decorations to decorate your windows for Valentine’s Day. Ten Trails is giving away construction paper for residents to use to make their homes more festive. Go the old-fashioned route and use the paper to make valentines to give to neighbors, friends, or family members to show your love and appreciation this holiday.

We will randomly select five winners at the beginning of March and announce them on our Facebook page.

Organize a Virtual Chocolate Tasting

Many gourmet chocolate companies are offering virtual chocolate tasting classes! You can opt for a public class or organize your friends, family, or coworkers to join for a private group class. These fun tasting parties are a great way to connect with others during the pandemic and provide a fun alternative to traditional Valentine’s Day activities. Keep the fun local by finding a class through Seattle chocolatier, Theo Chocolate.

Rom-Com Virtual Watch Party with Friends 

Many streaming services like Netflix or Sling have options to organize virtual watch parties with other subscribers. Gather up friends and family from around the world and watch some of your favorite sappy romantic comedies together to mark the holiday.

Get Tickets to a Virtual Show

Many concerts, ballets, operas, and more live entertainment shows have virtual viewings available for the Valentine’s Day holiday. Couples or families can also find virtual classes for just about every topic imaginable this month including virtual flower-arranging classes and virtual cheeseboard creation. If you opt to attend an event virtually with a loved one this holiday, make it extra special by dressing up as if you were attending in person! Don’t forget to take photos to remember this unique holiday time.

Self-Care this Valentine’s Day

Finally, Valentine’s Day is the holiday of love but that does not mean you are excluded if you are not currently in a relationship. Self-love is just as, if not more, important! Schedule some self-care by getting a massage, going out for some time in nature, or ordering food from your favorite fancy restaurant. 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com
