A lot of things have been turned upside down in recent months, haven't they? While several regions are catching their breath, most Quebecers will have to be imaginative and creative to celebrate the day of love, Valentine's Day. How to make this holiday even more special when the curfew undermines our enthusiasm a bit? Here are 3 ideas for activities and gifts to enjoy in the comfort of your home.
A virtual mixology class
Discovering a new passion while having a good time with your loved one? Heavenly! Whether you hire a certified mixology teacher or let yourself be guided by the easy-to-find tutorials on YouTube, creating cocktails can easily energize an evening spent at home. Be sure to stock up on spirits, syrups and all the ingredients and try to make a thunderous cocktail, like the one you would have ordered on this very special evening.
Not convinced you have what it takes to transform into a mixologist for an evening? No problem, many neighborhood restaurants now offer delivery of good bottles and interesting and rare grape varieties. In addition, your tasting will help restaurateurs who need a good pat on the back.
Rethinking your love nest
Since we're spending more time than ever in our homes, why not plan the next room makeover together? Let's get comfortable around a good meal, a pad of paper in hand, and brainstorm! Whether you're thinking of redoing the basement to make a home theater or turning the office into a baby room, Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to build a common project.
Not the artistic type? Several interior design apps can lend a hand and help you organize your ideas.
A feel-good gift
Out of ideas to spoil your loved one? While the reflex is often to have beautiful flowers or small treats delivered to your loved one, why not trade the traditional bouquet for a bit of greenery? It's proven that adding a few green plants to a decor makes it more zen and beautifies the space. In addition, plants have a longer life expectancy than a bouquet that will lose its luster after a few days. Visit your local florist for recommendations on plants to add to your decor.
