Staycation ideas for you and bae this Valentine's Day

Most couples love the romantic bliss of Valentine's Day. The atmosphere of the day allows you to forget about everything else and focus on the amazing love you share with your significant other.

As much as couples look forward to this special time of year, it can be hard to figure out what to plan. If it were possible, we would all choose to fly off to our dream destinations, but for now, we have to work with what we have.

And it's not as bad as you might think. Staycations give you the chance to explore options in your city without having to travel while saving money.

So don't stress, with these few ideas you can still have the best Valentine's staycation of your life:

Try a classic dinner date

Sometimes you don't have to think too hard about how to celebrate the day. Some couples just like to have a romantic dinner at a local restaurant, and it's a great idea because there are no distractions.

This year you can add a new twist by trying a new restaurant you've never been to before or going to the one you've always loved as a couple.

Spend the day with nature

• How to baby proof your home in Kenya
• Parental kissing: Should parents kiss their children on the mouth?
• The cost of mother shaming
• Fear of a 'toxic' label should not deter parents from disciplining their children

You may be looking for something to help you connect and relax for the day. There are so many ways to unwind together, but being in nature is one of the best options to try.

Imagine being in a peaceful place where you can relax and talk about fond memories as the birds chirp around you. So romantic.

This idea is easy on the wallet and probably doesn't require much planning.

Spice up a movie night

Watching a film together is nothing new for most couples. It's probably something that happens every week, but since it's Valentine's Day, you can make it extra special.

Try to do something fun like ordering cheesy, matching Valentine's Day outfits and preparing some snacks for you to enjoy.

You can even put up some crazy Valentine-themed decorations and order a special cake just for the two of you to add to the festive atmosphere at home.

Party with two

What could be better than celebrating with your best friend in the comfort of your own home?

This is a plan you can try out especially if you are on a tight budget but still want to celebrate your love for each other in a fun way.

You can buy some wine for the evening, put on your favourite playlist and dance the night away until the sun comes up.

If you are in a long-distance relationship, you can still have a virtual party.

Play naughty games for couples

Playing naughty games together on Valentine's Day can add a little humour and romance to your relationship.

There are many games to choose from, so take some time to research and explore some of the games you might enjoy as a couple.

This will also rejuvenate your sexual chemistry, so it is a way to keep the spark alive in the bedroom.
