Love is in the air! Valentine’s Day is only one week away, and we are so EXCITED! This is one of our favorite holidays. Whether you’re single or have a special someone to celebrate with, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate love...and if we’ve learned one thing since this time last year, it’s that what the world needs more of is love!
Of course, that being said, the world is an awful lot different than it was a year ago. That’s no reason not to celebrate, though. Dickinson Jewelers has great ideas to help you celebrate safely...and naturally, we’ve got all kinds of great deals to help you find the perfect gift for your sweetie.
In store, we will be offering a gift with purchase for Valentine’s Day from February 2 through 13.
If a guest spends:
+$199, they get a gift box of goodies worth over $20
+$399, they get a gift box of goodies worth over $40
+$599, they get a gift box of goodies worth over $60.
That’s a pretty excellent deal! We’ve even put together a special collection of gifts to help you start thinking.
Once you’ve gotten your gifts handled, it’s time to start planning your special day. Here are just a few suggestions for ways to spend time together safely at home without losing an ounce of romance.
Cook dinner together
We love this idea because it has so many variations. If you love to cook, why not order some special treats from Bowen’s or Nick’s and whip up a three course meal together? If you’re feeling more adventurous, make the evening your own reality show. You could play Chopped and make dishes only using ingredients you already have, or you could compete against each other to see who can come up with a more interesting dish.
Not a very experienced cook? Sign up for any one of the internet’s many virtual cooking classes! Airbnb has a really cool experiences section. Sign up for a class and you could learn how to make pasta from an Italian in Rome or sushi from a Tokyo chef.
There are truly endless twists on this: whip up some fondue for a romantic dish, or have a living room picnic by putting a blanket on the floor. Make a build-your-own-sundae bar and eat dessert first. Whatever suits your personality best!
Go stargazing
Is there anything more romantic than looking at the stars together? Whether you have a big fancy telescope or not, there are still plenty of gorgeous stars to observe. You should even be able to see Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus at various points in the night!
Not a celestial genius? Believe us when we say we understand! Downloading an app like SkyView or Night Sky is an easy way to fix the problem. All you have to do is aim your phone at the star you’re looking at, and it will identify it for you.
Take a “trip” without your passport
One silver lining of the pandemic is the creativity it has allowed the world to showcase. We love the idea of taking a trip without leaving home. Here’s how it works.
You and your partner pick a location — let’s say, because it’s the city of love, Paris. Theme your night around it: wear Parisian outfits. Decide on a menu (charcuterie, anyone?) and eat a romantic dinner together; feel free to add in any beverages special to the region. Then, find a movie that takes place in Paris to watch together. Voila!
Recreate a special event
This one is for our sentimental types! Find a way to recreate one of your most memorable dates or events. If you’re willing to go whole hog, it’s fun to see who remembers which details and try to recreate every action and line. If that sounds a little daunting, play a fun game: pick an event together, and each partner brings three items that represent that event in their mind. It’s fun to see what details stick out to each partner!
No matter what date idea you choose, we know you’ll hit a home run when you get your present from us. We have gifts to suit every taste, and with our AMAZING promotion, you’re guaranteed to have a memorable holiday!
