It’s that time—Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I come bearing good news: you don’t have to break the bank to impress your hubby. Today, I’m sharing 5 romantic and creative Valentine’s Day date night and gift ideas that will help you fall even more in love. You ready? Let’s go.

Dress up For Him
This is my favorite one. I love the look I get from Elvis when I come out of our room to reveal my OOTN. Dressing up for our partner conveys a simple, yet powerful message to him: you matter. I want to stay hot for you. Even though we've been together 20 years, I still carry passion for you and love your eyes on me.

Take (and print) Pics For Him
When I married Elvis 17 years ago, I gave him printed photos of me in a brand new brown leather wallet that were just for him. He kept it so long it's completely worn down. Why not give your guy pics of you he loves that he can admire while he's at work when you are apart? I dared my closest friends to do this for their hubby's birthday and trust me when I tell you their men were grateful to say the least 😂

Take a Bubble Bath Together
Get the babies to bed, run some hot water, add some epsom salts and bubble bath, and enjoy a soak with your boo. We love playing music too to add to the ambience.

Cook His Favorite Meal
Elvis is an award winning chef so this tip used to make me sweat a bit. But after lots of practice I've learned what he likes and how. Study your man to learn his favorite meals and surprise him with you presenting it with tip #1!

Write A Love Letter
Another one of my favorites--I don't really like buying celebratory cards at the store--I prefer to make them myself so I can say things as authentically as possible. Grab some paper, pen and write down what you genuinely love, cherish, admire, and respect about your partner. Don't hold back here!

Valentine’s Day isn’t about how much you spend—it’s about how intentional you are. Whether you choose one idea or try them all, remember this: connection is the real gift. Here’s to romance that feels fun, meaningful, and totally you. Happy Valentine’s Day 💕
