Valentine’s Day Date & Gift Ideas

Posted on February 07, 2022

With Valentine’s Day looming around the corner, organizing the day and picking the right gift can be difficult. 

Not sure what to do for Valentine’s day? We’ve got great date ideas and gift options to make your loved one feel extra special this Valentine’s day.

Valentine’s day date ideas:

1. Schedule in a massage: Learn some massage techniques to give your loved one a back massage to melt away muscle tension and stress. Set the scene by adding candles, ambient lighting and a good quality massage oil.
2. Draw a hot bath: Treat your partner - and yourself - to a relaxing and soothing bath by filling with warm water, rose petals, extra essential oils and a bath salt. Light up some candles and play slow relaxing music for the right atmosphere. 
3. Have a homemade spa day: Create a few DIY face masks with your loved one for a nourishing self-care night in. Add ingredients like aloe vera and nourishing carrier oils. Set up a space for you to relax as you allow the face masks to work their magic. Rest your feet in a foot soak to give them a well deserved break. 
4. Have a rom-com movie marathon: Sit back and relax while you enjoy a selection of movies to complete the evening. Set the scene with comfy seating, candles and extra snacks alongside some face masks and a drink. 
5. Cook up a storm: Instead of going for dinner, get creative and whip up a menu for you and your partner to cook together at home. It can be a great activity to do together to spice up the date and enjoy homemade creations. 

Looking for the perfect gift for your Valentine’s date? Here are some indulgent ideas:

1. Sensual Massage Oil:

Nothing is more romantic than a muscle-soothing massage on Valentine’s Day. To complement your date idea, you can enhance your massage with the perfect massage oil companion for a decadent night-in. Choose a massage oil filled with cold-pressed ingredients and aromatic essential oils to melt into the muscles. Using a non-greasy, easily absorbable massage oil will also ensure there is no mess or residue left behind. In addition to accentuating the massage experience, the massage oil is filled with nutritious ingredients to hydrate and moisturize the skin when it needs some TLC.

2. Relaxing Bath Flakes:

Another brilliant tool for a spa night-in, magnesium bath flakes will dissolve in any warm bath to provide a luxurious solution to soak away any stress. Coupled with deep relaxing aromatherapy, the chamomile and clary sage oils will help uplift and calm the nervous system for a wind-down well deserved. The bath flakes also contain one of the most important minerals - magnesium - to support general wellbeing and calm the nerves and muscles. 

3. Magnesium Cream with Organic Cocoa Butter: 

Give the gift of a naturally decadent and luxurious magnesium cocoa butter this Valentine’s Day. Providing essential magnesium in a bed of cocoa butter and vitamin E, this cream is guaranteed to leave the skin feeling silky smooth - and smelling good enough to eat. Containing 10% transdermal magnesium and organic ingredients, there are no harsh or artificial chemicals to dry out the skin. This gift is great to be applied after a bath soak or shower to wind-down before bed. 

4. Aloe Vera:

A nourishing plant bursting with nutrients, aloe vera is the perfect gift for a skincare/bodycare/haircare fanatic. Aloe vera can easily be mixed into carrier oils and other natural ingredients to nourish the skin and hair when they need extra love. Always look for a natural aloe vera gel with the highest purity to ensure you are not adding harsh ingredients to the skin - which may be doing more harm than good.  

There are plenty of options and ideas to spice up your Valentine’s Day. It can be the perfect time to unwind and destress with your loved one, as well as showing each other appreciation. There are many natural products that you can use to give yourself and your partner a day filled with self-care. From bath flakes to sensual massage oils and DIY ingredients, there are plenty of tools to get creative with - and enjoy each other's company.
