5 Ways to say 'I Love You' this Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. With it all over social media in addition to the endless flow of rom-com books movies and tv-shows that get churned out every year the bar can be set quite high. This is both fabulous and intimidating. On one hand you can hope someone organises some beautifully romantic gesture for you but on the other hand how will you then top that!?

Here at M&B we have listed five of our favourite ways to say ‘I Love You’ to help have a Valentine’s to remember!

1. The Classic Home Cooked Dinner

Ok hear me out, I know the pubs and restaurants have only just gone back to normal post covid but it’s likely you have also started going back to the office. You and your partner may be spending significantly less quality time together (and no, sitting in silence on your phones in the evening is not quality time!) So, instead of booking a table in your local surrounded by other couples, why not cook your partners favourite meal and put away the phones. Really talk and enjoy each other’s company! Pop open your favourite bottle of wine and enjoy all the benefits that come with an at home date night, for example No designated driver needed, you can change into your PJ’s half way through the night and the valentine’s day bonus of the bedroom being only down the hall!

2. The Perfect Gift

An obvious choice but we don’t mean just buying your partner that dress she wants or that watch he wants. On valentine’s day you should be celebrating your love so something a little more sentimental might be the way to go for example a beautifully framed picture of the two of you will be sure to melt their heart. Put together a soundtrack of your relationship on Spotify, include all the songs that mean something to you both, that bring up all your special memories however if you want something a little less lovey-dovey why not make them, a custom cocktail/mocktail named after them that you can drink together! Making each other new cocktails can be a really fun way to spend your time together.

5. The Self Love

Don’t think I forgot about all you singles out there! Whether you’re ready to mingle or content in your own company everyone needs a bit of self-love sometimes and Valentine’s day isn’t just for those who are in relationships! After all the most important relationship is the relationship you have with yourself! So buy yourself that T-bar bracelet or that Somas candle you’ve wanted for months. Maybe get that big purchase like a cosy snuggler to curl up with a good book and a glass on wine. You deserve it!
