Valentine’s Day Spa-tacular: 10 Tips for Having a Spa Day At Home

February 3, 2015

Valentine’s Day 2015 is on a Saturday – make it a romantic celebration-in with these at-home spa tips!

If you’re looking to make this a weekend celebration, check out our ideas on how to celebrate a Valentine’s Day weekend! Pick up a spa basket filled with all of the essentials – keep in mind when choosing the perfect spa assortment to try and choose a scent you will both enjoy. Here are several tips for a spa day at home – while this is a great activity for a romantic night, in a spa day can also work for ladies night!

Spa gift basket with lavenderStart by selecting the spa scent. When choosing your spa assortment, try to choose a scent that the both of you will enjoy. If you’re unsure, a safe option is always a “clean, fresh” scent such as with the Apres Rain Spa Basket.

Create a spill-proof zone. Neither one of you is going to want to jump and grab the paper towels when you’re mid-relaxation with a face scrub on. Rather, take some time beforehand to cover floors and surfaces in old newspapers or similar so any accidental drips or spills can be addressed after the relaxation time is over.

Keep the menu light. Starting with breakfast and throughout the entire day, choose meals that won’t leave you feeling heavy or bloated.

Skip the 3pm coffee. If coffee or tea are part of your daily routine, be sure to indulge in the morning, pre-spa activities. The reason for this is any muscles that caffeine can actually cause muscles that have relaxed during the spa-tacular itinerary to tense up.

Light candles. Set the scene with dim lights and lit candles. If your spa supplies are scented, opt with unscented candles as to avoid overwhelming the senses. Celebrations.com shared an easy tutorial on turning using sheet music to create your own “musical” candles for Valentine’s Day, which brings us to our next tip…

Prepare a playlist. For a romantic spa day, pick your favorite love-inspired songs. If you the two of you have a special song, be sure to throw it in the mix.

Prepare warm towels. If possible, do a laundry load of towels and dry them morning of. Store them in an sealed bag to keep the warmth in. That way, you have warm towels to use during your spa day!

Prepare conversation cards. As much as you may know about the other person, there is always more to learn! Prepare conversation cards with random questions such as, “what’s your favorite 80s song” or “what’s your dream vacation” or similar questions that you may not know the answers to. Alternatively, you can prepare topics to discuss for a deeper conversation. These will come in handy during downtime such as waiting for a face mask to harden!

Cool down with refreshing sips and snacks. You’re guaranteed to be spending a lot of time in hot steam during this day, so be sure to stay hydrated and refreshed with cool drinks or snacks (like mini wine popsicles – yum!).

Experiment with essential oils. As mentioned above, spa and steam go hand in hand. Take advantage of this by adding a dash of essential oils to the mix! Choose essential oils known for their benefits, such as sage, eucalyptus, or clarysage.

How to Plan the Perfect Valentine’s Day Weekend

January 22, 2014

Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year. Rather than making reservations at your go-to spot, whisk your special someone to a romantic getaway – all from the comfort of your own home!

We’ve put together some of our favorite romantic gift baskets, so you can have the staycation of your dreams without all the prep work.

Friday
valentine-spa-basketAfter a long day of work, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as kicking off your shoes and cozying up to your special someone. Surprise your sweetie with a romantic dinner for two, complete with their favorite bottle of wine and savory cheese pairings.

After a light dinner, treat your sweetie to a spa treatment at home. Set the mood with elegant candles, while treating your Valentine to a well-deserved massage with one of our romance-ready spa baskets.

Did you know that February is also Creative Romance Month?! With the weekend ahead of you, here’s the time to put a fun spin on your time spent together. Skip the Netflix marathon and plan a romantic celebration you can still do within the comfort of your home!

Plan a picnic at home
It may be a bit too chilly to do the traditional picnic in the park, so why not turn your living or dining room into the picnic area of your dreams?! Dazzle your date by filling the room with fresh flowers and a prepared picnic basket for two. Light a candle or two – you’re not outdoors so there’s no risk of forest fires!

fannie-may-chocolate-covered-strawberries-valentines-dayDancing and Dinner
Create your very own romantic scene with some dim lighting and bubbly for a one-of-a-kind date night at home. Don’t go out, rather order in and leave the rest of the world at the door as you focus on falling in love with your sweetie all over again. Before finishing up with dessert, take your sweetie out on your own personal dance floor and dance as fast or slow as you’d like. Prepare you playlist beforehand with some of her favorites as well as a few of the classics. Finish your meal off by indulging in decadent chocolate strawberries paired with a champagne toast to the two of you.

valentine-breakfast-basketSunday
Sunday, lazy Sunday.

Wake your Valentine up to the smell of buttery pancakes and maple syrup with a savory breakfast (or brunch) for two. Spend today lounging around and day dreaming with your significant other. Get to know each other all over again. Ask how work is going and really take the time to listen. Make today not just about romance, but also about friendship. After all, she is your best friend!
