Unique Ideas To Help Celebrate Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day - the day of celebrating love - is this weekend! Couples young and old will be spending the day together, while many schools, daycare and community centers will host Valentine's Day parties for the kids during the week leading up to the big day. Many families create special traditions to help celebrate the day together.

There are many traditional ways to show the people you love how much they mean to you. Cards, flowers, jewelry, fine dining and chocolates are timeless classic gifts that people young or old enjoy. But while many people tend to spend a lot of money on the traditional Valentine's Day gifts, you don't have to. There are many unique, personal and inexpensive ways to show someone how much you love them.

At Astro Jump of Chattanooga, we love celebrating Valentine's Day and enjoy helping our clients plan fun and memorable events to honor this "official day of love"! Whether you're a loving couple spending the day together or a family celebrating with their children, here are some ways that you can show your Valentine how much you love them.

Make A Personalized Flip Book

Flip books were fun inter-actives in the 1970's through the 1990's. They were a simple animation with a picture on each page of a book. Each image was slightly different than the previous one. When you flipped through the pages quickly, the images would blend together to show an animated image. Flip books are easy and fun to make. With the help of modern technology, snap a bunch of pictures of your special someone smiling or doing something that makes you happy, turn those pictures into a flip book and give it to them as a gift. Hearts will quickly melt with this touching, personalized gift.

Cook A Special Meal

There is nothing more touching and enjoyable than having a meal prepared for you. Whether it's children cooking a special dinner for their parents, parents and children cooking something together, or surprising your Valentine's Day sweetheart by preparing their favorite dish while dining under candlelight. Most people love it when someone cooks for them; it's personal, thoughtful and a great Valentine's gesture.

Have A Picnic

If the weather permits, don’t just prepare a beautiful dish for your loved one but go outside for a romantic picnic under the stars. If it's too cold to be outside, dim the lights and set the mood for a romantic picnic on the floor in a cozy room in your home.

Make A Snow Globe

Is there a special memory of an event that you share with your special love? Keep the memory alive by turning it into a snowglobe. With clear glycerine, water, heart-shaped tinfoil confetti, sealant, an empty & clean jar, ribbon and a waterproof object or a laminated picture or ticket from that special event or moment you can create a beautiful snow globe keepsake to immortalize that magical day or event. If you have kids, making snow globes together will make the keepsake even more precious.

Personalized Spa Day

Who doesn't like to be pampered?! Show your loved ones how much they mean to you by planning a special day of scented baths, massages, manicures, pedicures and facials for a day of complete, lavish relaxation. Whether you pamper each other in the privacy of your own home or go to a spa for a couples package, you will both enjoy indulging yourselves in this luxurious and soothing pamper therapy.

There are many non-traditional ways to show your loved ones how much you care for them on Valentine's Day. Whether you're celebrating as a couple or as a family, Valentine's Day is the day to celebrate the love you have for each other. At Astro Jump of Chattanooga, we wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
