Romantic Ideas For Couples

Whether it is your first Valentine’s Day together as a couple or you’ve been together for years, spending the night on the town can be on the pricey side. There’s making the reservations, braving the crowds, flowers, wine, and anything else a night out might bring.

Instead of going out, consider a night in for Valentine’s. You’ll skip the annoying crowds and madness for a quiet, sentimental evening alone. Stop by your Goodwill to find supplies to set the romantic mood at home.  Goodwill carries a range of Valentine’s Day décor from candles to plates and other housewares.

Fill your dining room with by decorating with mason cards to hold lit candles for a soft glow. Buy matching champagne flutes to toast to your special someone in style. You might even find that one of a kind gift like an oversized teddy bear or silver locket. Start shopping at your Goodwill now to find the best items before they are gone.

While enjoying a quiet evening at home, February 14th is a perfect time to spend quality time bonding. While you’re at the Goodwill, stop by the movie section to find an old childhood classic or a big-hit romantic movie to watch together. If you and your sweetheart have a competitive side, find a board game like Monopoly or Scrabble to keep the night exciting.

No matter what you do, remember to relax and cherish this special time with your sweetheart.
