Valentine's Day 2025: From handwritten letters to memory jars, 7 gesture-based ideas to show love

Love is in the air! Yes, it's Valentine's week 2025. Well, Valentine's Day isn't just any other date on the calendar; it's a special day for creating unforgettable memories with your partner.

Whether you are an experienced romantic person or one who is navigating the new romantic waters, every February 14th offers you an opportunity to express your love in a truly unforgettable way.

If you are bored of the same old Valentine's gifts and dates, then this year try out something unique and different with some gesture-based ideas that show love without the big price tag.

Here are some gesture-based ideas that don't have to cost a lot but are meaningful:

1. Handwritten letters or notes: In the era of social media and online texting, handwritten letters can revive your whole relationship and may blow fresh air into it.

For this, you can write a heartfelt letter or a series of small notes that highlight your favourite memories together and hide them around the house or in places your partner will find them throughout the day.

2. Cook a special dinner at home: This year skip the fancy restaurant dining; instead, prepare their favourite meal at home. Set the mood with candles and music for a romantic atmosphere.

3. Memory Jar: If you want to be a little more creative this time, you can get a jar filled with notes, each describing a special moment, why you love them, or things you are looking to do together.

4. DIY coupon book: Make a book of personalized coupons that include things like a movie night, breakfast in bed, or a foot massage.

5. Recreate your first date: Take a trip down memory lane by recreating your first date, whether it is the same restaurant or park or any other activity you did together.

6. Picnic in the park: It is already winter season, and nothing can be better than going for a picnic in the park with your partner and spending some time together.

7. Make a photo scrapbook: Put together a scrapbook or a digital collage of your favourite memories together and add a personal touch to it.
