Last Minute Ideas to Celebrate Valentines Day in
It’s officially the day for lovers and maybe you’ve neglected to make plans, or perhaps you want to stay in with your better half. But you know it’s important to make this day special for your loved one, so what in the heck can you do in Phoenix to show your sweetheart you care?
We’ve put together these last-minute ideas to make your sweetie’s day special… or to have a memorable night out with your pals.
Take in an Arizona sunset.
Anyone that has lived in Arizona for even the shortest amount of time will tell you that we have the most EPIC sunsets. With the weather a bit milder this time of year, it’s the perfect opportunity to pack a picnic and head out to catch one of nature’s best picture shows. Check out these best places to catch the Arizona sunset. Those beautiful pink hues with a bottle red will be just what your sweetheart ordered in the romance department!
Catch an epic swordfight.
Okay, okay. Stick with us on this one! If you’re single this Valentine’s Day or want a little excitement this holiday, head off to see the knights at the roundtable at Medieval Times Scottsdale. Celebrate “Galentine’s Day” watching bearded men fight for your honor as you cheer on the sidelines. For the single ladies, you’ll quickly forget that you’re solo on a couple’s holiday while you drink out of goblets and watch knights on horseback!
Do better than a bouquet.
Sure, you can get your sweetheart a bouquet of store-bought flowers, but why do that when you have some of the most beautiful colors and flower variations in your own Arizona backyard? Instead of bringing the flowers home to your better half, take him or her out to see the amazing wildflowers that Arizona has to offer. They start blooming as early as February, so take an afternoon drive to soak up the sights and smells of the flowers that will never die on your coffee table!
Make it a couple’s affair.
If you asked a handful of your best couple friends what they’re doing for Valentine’s Day, it’s likely they are trying to avoid the crowds and overpriced pre fixe menus too! Instead of heading out for an expensive meal, keep it local and have a happy hour or dinner party for all your couple friends. Make heart-shaped appetizers and play pin-the-arrow-on-the-cupid. After all, humor can be our partner’s most attractive quality.
No matter what you do this Valentine’s Day, remember that it’s a day to celebrate your love for the people in your life. Time well spent with them is the most important gift to give, so be creative this Valentine’s Day!
