Our Favorite Last Minute Valentine's Day Ideas

Lets be honest, we’ve all been in that position where it’s the day before Valentine’s Day, and we are empty handed, scrambling for last minute gifts and date ideas. So, here’s  Our Favorite Last Minute Valentine’s Day Ideas including date and gift ideas, and crafts for your kids.

Last Minute Date Ideas 

• Reminisce over old photos. Grab your wedding album, Facebook albums and old photo stashes on your phone and relive old memories you’ve made as a couple. Plus, you can do this from the comfort of your couch and avoid the Valentine’s Day crowds.
• Cook A Romantic Dinner from Home. Most restaurants are almost unbearably crowded, and if you don’t have reservations you could be waiting for hours. Avoid the muss and fuss and cook a romantic dinner at home. You don’t have to tip and you’re not limited to a menu! Pair this with our previous idea and you’ll have a date the both of you will remember for years to come.
• Go out only for Dessert or Drinks. It can be just as romantic going out just for dessert or drinks. If you’re in the Boerne area, try going to Salvador DOBBS, a new cocktail bar on River Rd. For dessert, hit up the newly opened Bakery Lorraine at the Rim, which has delicious french pastries!
• Enjoy a Sunset Hike & Picnic. For those who like more active dates, plan a hike where you can watch the sunset. Bring along a blanket and some food to add a picnic dinner. Talk about romantic!

Last Minute Valentine’s for School

• Grab some applesauce and this printable to make a totally “awesomesace” Valentine your kids and their classmates are sure to love. Plus, it’s a healthy alternative to all that candy!

• What child doesn’t love a new box of Crayons? Print out the “You Color My World” Image and stick that on your Crayon Boxes for a super cute Valentine.

• This DIY Valentine is perfect for the little boys in your life! All you need is this printable, some Army men and some string, and you have the best Valentine for your child’s classmates.

Last Minute Gift Ideas 

• Date In a Box. Go buy a DVD that you and your significant other haven’t seen. Grab a small box and fill it with some microwave popcorn, sodas, and candy to make a fun date night in a box.
• Date Book. This one may take a little more thinking power, but grab some note cards and your brain to come up with 12 pre-planned date ideas. Once you have your ideas all written down on your notecards, grab a notecard ring to make a cute booklet. Your significant other is sure to appreciate the thought behind this gift. Plus, no more “I don’t know” when it’s time to figure out what to do for date night!

• Valentine’s Jenga. Grab a game of Jenga and write compliments or something you love about your significant other on the pieces. When you play the game your better half will love reading something nice about them on every piece the pull out.
• Love Coupons. We’ve all heard of, gifted or received Love Coupons. These are extra cute because they look like real coupons. Click here to buy the template for around 13 dollars. The great thing is once you buy them they are available for instant download so you can print them right away. Of course, you can always DIY these with some note cards and markers for a homemade gift.

The Boehm Team wishes you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
