Valentine's Day: Romantic ideas to celebrate during the pandemic

This Valentine's Day, ditch the traditional outside dinner date and cook with your lover.

Discuss the menu beforehand and keep stock of groceries to avoid any last-minute runs to the stores.

If you are not in the mood for cooking, order from your favorite fancy restaurant.

For long-distance lovers, surprise your sweetheart by ordering their favorite food and indulging in a virtual date.

Relive your first date with your partner, but with the added constraint of being at home.

Try to mimic the same setting with props et al.

You can also go all out and wear the same clothes (if those fit you) and rehearse your lines (at least what you remember).

Brownie points if you compliment them the same way and get those butterflies fluttering.

Can't visit your favorite city for the holiday? Worry not, because you can theme up your home to feel the same.

Choose the country where you have been to or planned on visiting together.

Prepare a dish from their cuisine or order takeaway.

Decorate your home with decors in theme with the place.

Dress up accordingly and cozy up in La La Land!

If you have had a long week and just want to chill, do just that, by relaxing with a home-spa.

Get on the face mask, and try out a new skincare set (a few scented candles to set the mood won't hurt).

You can also indulge in bubble baths and oil massages. Who doesn't like to get pampered - Valentine's Day or not?
