Celebrate your love for your husband on Valentine's Day by trying your best to make it perfect. The perfect Valentine's Day celebration doesn't have to be expensive or complicated, but it can be realized with careful planning and attention to every detail that matters to your husband.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Planning a Special Date
Step 1. Eat
Dinner at the restaurant is a classic Valentine's Day tradition. As a result, however, most restaurants may be overbooked or overpriced. So, if you want to take your husband out to eat, order ahead of time. Or, make plans to eat together at home, or have a picnic if weather conditions allow.
- Hire a professional chef or your friend with a cooking talent to whip up a romantic dinner at home.
- If either of you both work on Valentine's Day, consider meeting up for a bit and having lunch together. While it may be too short to make it the main event on Valentine's Day, making time for lunch together is a romantic act.
- Preparing breakfast in bed is another romantic act. If your partner doesn't like eating in bed, get up before he wakes up, and serve breakfast right when he wakes to show your love.
- If your husband loves to cook, show him your appreciation as a gift. Tell him that you really want to eat home cooked food, and ask him to cook something if possible. Then, sit back and watch him cook.
- Cooking together is also a romantic activity. If you like, buy a pair apron.
- If you're brave, consider cooking in just an apron.
- Time is everything. If you are planning on having a heavy meal at home or at a restaurant, eat it in the evening. Spend some romantic time together before leaving the house because after a heavy meal you both may be too full and sleepy to enjoy time together.
Step 2. Drink like royalty
If you and your partner drink alcohol, drink something tastier than usual. Purchase a bottle of wine, or purchase growler beer from a local liquor store. Purchase the ingredients to prepare your favorite cocktail, and serve it as a surprise.
- Make a new cocktail. If you are creative, make a special cocktail with a taste that your husband likes. If you plan a week in advance, you can even prepare a special drink to make it.
- Give the drink a special name, or tell your husband that it is an aphrodisiac.
- Beer doesn't have to be plain or boring. Look for specialty beers with a high alcohol content, and serve them in champagne or wine glasses.
- Red wine is considered a classic romantic drink for a special reason. Alcohol of any kind can be considered arousing, but the effect of red wine is even stronger.
Step 3. Get active
Valentine's Day doesn't always have to be spent having dinner together and cuddling. If you and your husband enjoy spending time outdoors, consider hiking, rock climbing at the gym, or exploring by boat. If you like to dance together, go dance.
- Enroll in a dance class, and learn a new type of dance for couples.
- If you're already a dance pro, consider other romantic activities together like AcroYoga or a fitness class for couples.
- Hike to a beautiful place and enjoy a picnic together.
- If you live in a snowy area during February, try ice skating or visiting a ski area.
Step 4. Travel
Being in a new place will make your special day even more special. Plan a weekend trip to a nearby city or find a cheap flight ticket to a completely unfamiliar place. Make traveling a part of Valentine's Day celebrations. Prepare an event that you can enjoy together, and stop for a moment in interesting places.
- Consider getting home by train rather than by plane or car. That way, you can watch romantic movies together with headphones and enjoy the delicious food you prepare.
- Sleep in the hotel. Even if you don't have the budget to go out of town, consider booking a hotel room for one night instead. Not going anywhere doesn't mean you have to go about your usual routine.
- Enjoy activities together. Book a day's worth of treatments at the spa, or camp near the natural hot springs.
Method 2 of 3: Creating Atmosphere
Step 1. Wear the right clothes
No matter what type of date you're planning, wearing a new outfit, or something your husband likes will make the day special. If you're wearing a dress, try a body-shaped dress or skirt. If you're wearing a suit, choose a suit that fits perfectly and a shirt with an open collar. Choose clothes that are comfortable to the touch, such as silk or velvet. If you want your clothes to match the theme of the restaurant decor, choose red.
- Consider her underwear. Lingerie under a chic outfit will make every stage of getting dressed and taking it off a part of Valentine's Day activities. Consider wearing light underpants or boxers, thigh-high stockings, strap stockings, thongs or bustiers.
- Let your husband dress up too. If your husband likes to dress up, respect that. Buy him the clothes he wants, or the clothes that make him look sexy to you.
- What applies to you also applies to him. You can buy him clothes to make him look dashing, or something more personal to wear when he's with you. If you're going hiking on Valentine's Day, buy her some fun workout clothes, like cycling shorts or a sleeveless t-shirt.
- If your husband prefers to plan his outfit in detail, prepare ahead of time. Tell him you're going to buy him something special, and search the internet together until you find something that's right for him.
Step 2. Decorate the house or go to a beautiful place
The place you go to spend time together should be beautiful. You might be able to go to a good restaurant, hike up the hill to enjoy the sunrise, or walk by the beach at sunset. Depending on your tastes, you or your husband might also like to stroll in the nearby gardens, visit an art-deco movie theater, or walk along a graffiti wall.
- If you plan to decorate your house, install a dark or warm colored tablecloth. Light a few candles in a candle holder or wine bottle, or prepare a candle to float.
- Cleaning up. A messy house looks so depressing and looks like you didn't make an effort. If you are going to celebrate Valentine's Day at home, tidy up the house and display everything you have prepared.
- Put the flowers in a vase and place a few flower crowns on a tablecloth or bowl of water filled with candles.
- The smell of food may already be giving you what you need, but buying flowers with a pleasant aroma or lighting fragrant incense sticks will add to the atmosphere.
Step 3. Give off a food-like scent
Certain scents can increase male sex drive. Surprisingly, most of the smell comes from the food. The combination of pumpkin pie and lavender scent is known to be very effective, followed by the combination of donut / black liquorice aroma. Aromas of citrus fruit, lavender, cola, lily of the valley, buttered popcorn, vanilla, and musk are some other powerful stimulants.
- Spray perfume with lavender, citrus, musk, or lily of the valley scents.
- Bake a pie or pumpkin pie with butter and lavender batter. Take the pie out right before dinner so that its aroma fills the entire house.
- Make a drink of rum and cola, then enjoy it with a black liquorice straw.
Step 4. Turn on the music to a lively beat
While it may be tempting to turn on some classical music on Valentine's Day, research shows that music with upbeat rhythms has a positive effect on a man's arousal. Meanwhile, music that triggers a negative mood has the opposite effect. So, play jazz, classical, or hip hop music in a positive rhythm.
Turn down the music so you can still talk to your husband
Step 5. Together
If you and your husband have children, find a nanny and go alone. If you want to spend time at home, ask other family members to babysit or organize a sleepover for the kids. If you live with another person or family member, and can't get them out of the house to spend time alone, set up an in-room date instead.
Method 3 of 3: Setting Up Something Personal
Step 1. Determine the type of gift that is meaningful to your husband
When you give someone a gift, you are conveying something to them. What would you like to express to your husband with that Valentine's Day gift? "I love you" is easy to say. However, "I love you and support your commitment to running every weekend", will be conveyed clearly through the new sneakers.
- Think about what he likes best, whether it's a public declaration of love, a loving home gift, or a gift that conveys your admiration for him.
- Don't forget the traditional gifts on Valentine's Day. Does your husband like chocolate, flowers, red wine, champagne ? Seduce him with classic gifts.
Step 2. Fulfill the dream
Remember something you want to try, but haven't had the chance to do yet. Ask your husband's imagination. If he's embarrassed or says he doesn't have it, don't give up. Tell him your fantasy and let him know that you want to hear his imagination. You can try this step a few weeks before Valentine's Day, or talk about it on Valentine's Day.
- Be prepared to hear delusions that may be disgusting or boring. Listen to the story without judging, also don't react too quickly.
- You don't have to fulfill his fantasy just because you already know it. However, this talk lets you consider it.
- If you decide to fulfill someone's imagination, talk about it first. Don't surprise him with a plan without his approval!
- Set a safety word when trying new lovemaking techniques. If you or he feels uncomfortable at some point, say the word!
Step 3. Prepare a plan, but include surprises in it
A week or two before Valentine's Day, let him know that you are planning Valentine's Day celebrations so he can spend some time. If your husband also has an idea, work with him. You two can both be involved in planning the celebration.
- Just don't tell me all the steps in your plan. Leave a few things inside, like gifts, special desserts, etc., as a surprise.
- Surprises are more stimulating than planned pleasures.
