只要你提早计划，情人节可以简单，充满创意与乐趣。这是展示你爱和精打细算又不失品味的好机会。享受这个爱的日子吧。重要的不是你花多少钱在礼物上，重要的是那份爱意。
[b]制造一份经历[/b]
- 在家做一顿晚餐。制造一个浪漫的气氛。铺上一张漂亮的台布。拿出你最好的餐具，在花瓶上插上一支花。煮他/她最喜欢吃的菜。还做上一份特别的餐后甜点。你们可以一起做，后者邀请另一对夫妇加入。穿上你最好看的衣服…那些特别的。
- 来一个室内“野餐”。在你的客厅里弄出一个迷人的地方来，点上蜡烛，把光线调暗，在地板上铺一张毯子。食物可以是新鲜的面包，芝士，水果，甜点和你最爱的饮料。
- 去一家咖啡店尽情享受咖啡和精美的糕点。
- 全家一起过情人节。 让孩子们用绉纸，五彩碎纸和手制的爱心来布置房子。买一些甜饼面团，然后大家一起装饰小甜饼。
- 约会。选城外一个特别的地方过夜。探寻新的地方来个探险。带上点心。
- 过一个“香熏水疗之夜”。互相按摩，如果不知道怎样按摩可以租张DVD来参考。用特别的香油和乳液。把房间弄得既漂亮又温暖舒适。结束后，你们可以一起洗个泡泡浴，喝槽纹玻璃杯中的香槟或者苏打水。
- 在你喜欢的音乐中跳舞度过这个夜晚。
- 租一部爱情电影。例如《北非谍影》，《恋恋笔记本》《全民情敌》《附注：我爱你》《风月俏佳人》或者《英国病人》
- 浪漫地散步，在海边，河边，历史名城，公共花园或公园都行。可以停下来喝一杯热巧克力或其他饮料。
- 去一家书店，翻阅书籍来为对方选一本最爱的书。
