Deliver Valentine’s to a Nursing Home or Shelter

If you want to get out and give back with your family this year, creating your own Valentine’s and donating them to a nursing home or shelter is a great way to do so. Creating simple cards using colored construction paper, markers, stickers, and any other creative elements you can think of. To go the extra mile, you can include small treats taped to your cards for residents to enjoy.

Get Outside

Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be about staying inside all day. Get outside for a nature hike, or if it’s snowy, you can go sledding or ice skating. Not only will it get you outside for some exercise, but it’ll give you all an excuse to grab a cup of hot chocolate to warm up with.

Make it a Date

Who said date night couldn’t be with the entire family? Using Valentine’s day as an excuse to pick a new restaurant to go to and get dressed up can be a fun family date night that everyone will remember. You can take your kids somewhere new they’ll enjoy, or go somewhere they’re familiar with. After dinner, finish off the date with a movie everyone will enjoy.
