If you haven’t checked the date recently, you may not have realized that Valentine’s Day is approaching fast. Fear not, the Serendipity staff is here to help with a few suggestions on how to show your spouse you love them on Valentine’s Day. Don’t feel like you need to pick only one. Maybe pick several and create a whole day of loving gestures.

1.  Try something new

Trying something new can be just the spark your celebration needs. Parasailing, paddleboarding around sunset or a sunset cruise. Whatever that something is, just make it new and something both of you can enjoy.

2.  Plan a couples spa day

 A couples massage, manicures, pedicures, facials…the list can go on. Both of you enjoying some personal pampering during the day can set the mood for the rest of the night.

3.  A staycation

Even if you’re not going out of town, a change of scenery could be just the ticket. Contact us to see if one of our luxury rentals is available.

4.  Make a mixtape

Ok, it probably won’t be an actual cassette, but it could be a CD or a playlist. No matter the medium, cultivating a list of songs that your spouse loves or expresses how much you love them can still be a fun throwback.

5.  Start early

What about getting up early and making a few of your spouse’s favorite things for a surprise breakfast, in or out of bed? Just be sure not to leave them with a mess to clean up afterward.

6.  Give quality time

One of the most valuable things in your day is your time. Gifting that to your spouse can also be valuable. Uninterrupted time without distractions, phone notifications or text messages can be priceless to some people, perhaps your spouse is one of them.

7.  Share a bottle of wine

 A good bottle of wine can be the start to a very romantic evening. Time Saver Wine and Spirits here on the island has a large selection of wines that can take that quality time from idea 6 to the next level.

8.  Plan a romantic dinner

There are many restaurants here on Anna Maria Island that can host your romantic Valentine’s Day dinner. We’ve put together a short list of some of our favorites for you.

9.   Flowers

Flowers are a time-tested way of expressing love. Whether it is a full professional arrangement delivered from Blooms by the Beach or a bouquet of your spouse’s favorites delivered by you, the expression of love will be evident.

10.  Romantic scavenger hunt

What’s love if we can’t have some fun with it? A romantic scavenger hunt could be just the ticket. You can make up your own clues or use some already written ones for inspiration. What the trail leads to at the end is only limited by your imagination.

We hope some of these suggestions help you and your spouse enjoy your celebration. If you would like to discuss planning a stay for the two of you in one of our luxury rentals on Anna Maria Island, we are here for you.
