5 Heartfelt Ways To Have The Best (Distanced) Valentine’s Day

IT’S VALEN-TIMES

Can you think of a better time to spread the love than February 2021? Everyone’s favorite heartfelt holiday may not look like wine, roses, and in-person get-togethers with your best Gal-entines this year…but we’ve assembled some sweet ideas to make it special from afar.

BAKE UP SOME LOVE

Heart Cookie

Valentine’s Day of yesteryear was all about buying heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and bottles of bubbly. These days, home-baked cookies – decorated with love – might be just the ticket to leave on a loved-one’s doorstep. A few amaze-balls recipes that will have you turning on the oven.

SHOW-YOU-CARE PACKAGES

Gifts wrapped for Valentine's Day

If your go-to Valentine move is dropping a love note in the mail, consider taking the gesture a step further by assembling a heart-filled package of goodness instead. With limited social contact on the horizon, receiving a surprise box of joi is more appreciated than ever. One crafty, pinada-esque package idea to try.
