Feb 7– Rose Day:
Kickstart romance with blooms
Nothing says romance like flowers, and Rose Day is the perfect opportunity to start Valentine's week on a fragrant note. Surprise your partner with a bouquet of their favorite flowers.
Take it up a notch by leaving little notes attached to each bloom sharing reasons why you love them. {Bonus point: If you know their flower preference beyond just roses}
February 8– Propose Day:
Renew your love
Already taken? Great! use this day to relive your proposal or reaffirm your commitment. Plan a dream date night and surprise your partner with a heartfelt speech, or even a cute DIY promise ring.
If you're still in the dating phase, this could be the perfect moment to talk about taking things to the next level.
February 9– Chocolate Day:
Indulge together
Who needs an excuse to enjoy chocolate? Spend this day sampling decadent treats together. Try a chocolate-tasting session at home, make chocolate-covered strawberries, or surprise your partner with a customized chocolate box filled with their favorite.
Want to take it up a notch? Plan a fun baking date where you both make delicious desserts together. Bonus: the messier the baking, the more fun it gets!
February 10– Teddy Day:
Go cute and cuddly
Teddy Day may seem a bit cheesy, but who doesn't love a soft, comforting hug from a plus toy? Pick out a cuddly teddy for your partner, or go for something more personalized, like a stuffed toy that represents an inside joke between the two of you.
To make the day even more special, pair the teddy with a handwritten letter, a cute voice note, or a video message telling your partner why they mean so much to you.
February 11– Promise Day:
Strengthen your bond
Promises in relationships go beyond just words; they are a function of trust and love. Take this day to make meaningful promises–whether it's supporting each other's dreams, being more patient, or even just remembering to take out the trash without being asked.
Write them down and revisit them together throughout the year. If you want a lasting reminder, consider exchanging promise rings or creating a "relationship contract" with fun and romantic commitments to each other.
February 12– Hug Day:
The warmest celebration
Hugs have been scientifically proven to boost happiness and lower stress, so why not make the most of Hug Day? Surprise your partner with an unexpected warm embrace throughout the day, or plan a cozy, relaxed evening with lots of snuggles and deep conversations.
You can even turn it into a game–every time your partner says a certain word, they owe you a hug! The goal? Endless warm embraces all day long.
February 13– Kiss Day:
A day for sweet intimacy
Kiss Day is all about expressing affection most classically. Whether it's a spontaneous peck on the forehead or a slow dance under the stars with soft kisses, make this day one to remember.
Try writing love notes with little kiss marks as a cute keepsake, or revisit the place where you had your first kiss and relive the moment. If you're feeling playful, challenge each other to come up with creative, new ways to share a kiss throughout the day.
February 14– Valentine's Day:
The grand finale
This is it–the big day! While grant gestures are lovely, sometimes the best Valentine's Day celebrations are the ones that truly reflect your relationship. Plan a romantic dinner, take a mini getaway, or even just spend the whole day doing things you both love.
Want to make it unforgettable? Try something neither of you has done before–whether it's skydiving, a hot air balloon ride, or simply stargazing on a rooftop with wine and soft music. The key is to make it personal and meaningful.
"Love is not about how many days, months, or years you have been together. It’s about how much you love each other every single day."

So, there you have it—a fool-proof way to enjoy Valentine's 2025 as a couple! Whether you keep it simple or go all out, the most important thing is celebrating your love in a way that feels right for both of you.
