Worse, sometimes that one thing or another ends up being an event or holiday that you really wanted to make special\u2014Valentine\u2019s Day, for example. Now, if you\u2019re the type of person that has it together and can\u2019t relate to anything I\u2019m saying, kudos (also, you\u2019re probably not reading this right now). However, if it feels like I\u2019m speaking directly to you, yeah, you\u2019re human. Fortunately, even if you have accidentally put off making plans to the last minute, it\u2019s still entirely possible to pull something special together. All you need is a little inspiration and, guess what?&nbsp;We\u2019ve asked men\u2019s lifestyle and travel expert Joe Miragliotta from Joe\u2019s Daily to share his best suggestions when it comes to last-minute Valentine&#8217;s Day ideas.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">1. Learn something<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> Whether you\u2019ve been together for three months or three decades, every couple has a few things to gain from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Activities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">taking a class together<\/a>. First, and it admittedly goes without saying, introducing a new activity into a routine is perfect for shaking things up. Then there\u2019s the actual education part. What\u2019s nice about taking a class with someone else is, not only do you come away having learned a new skill, you also get to learn something new about one another. Maybe one of you is a surprisingly good cook, maybe the other has a natural knack for painting, or maybe you\u2019re both just really awesome at taking direction. As another little bonus, endeavors that require you to work together, like dancing, might even help you be more in synch in other areas, too. As for what classes to take, that\u2019s entirely up to you. For all of the interests and hobbies out there, there are classes to go with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">2. Speaking of cooking\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> Chances are if you\u2019re looking for a last-minute idea for Valentine\u2019s Day, the restaurants you love are already booked up. Not to worry. As it turns out, cooking with your significant other can actually be really gratifying. When the focus is more about spending quality time together and enjoying the fruits of your labor\u2014as opposed to rushing to make sure you get food on the table before 9 p.m.\u2014it makes for a completely enjoyable experience. If you\u2019re both amazing cooks, try something adventurous and indulgent that you\u2019ve never made before. For those where only one really knows what they\u2019re doing, never underestimate the helpfulness of chopping and relaying the next step in the recipe. If skills are basically nonexistent between you, one word: pasta. And, when it\u2019s just going to be a situation where you\u2019re burning water, maybe preparing dinner together comes after one of those classes I mentioned above (*cough* the cooking class *cough*).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29640\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29640\" class=\"wp-image-29640 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cooking-with-your-spouse.jpg\" alt=\"Cooking with your spouse\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cooking-with-your-spouse.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cooking-with-your-spouse-188x300.jpg 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29640\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cooking class on board Regent Seven Seas Cruises<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">3. No reservations required<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> Lucky for us, not everything there is to do on Valentine\u2019s Day or its associated weekend requires advance notice. No, you might not be able to score tickets to that Broadway show you\u2019ve been wanting to see, but there are still plenty of things to do in your city that stir up that same kind of amative feeling. If the weather\u2019s nice enough, consider taking a stroll around a local arboretum or botanical garden. If not, how about a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/los-angeles-natural-history-museum-tickets.a335418.activity-details?srp=true&amp;location=Los+Angeles,+California&amp;startDate=2019-02-14&amp;endDate=2019-02-21&amp;latLong=34.05072,-118.25477&amp;rid=178280&amp;pageNumber=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">museum<\/span><\/a> or art gallery? Of course, if your minds are of a more curious variety, there\u2019s nothing wrong with making it a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/1-hollywood-sign-hike-griffith-observatory-tour.a181779.activity-details?srp=true&amp;location=Los+Angeles,+California&amp;startDate=2019-02-14&amp;endDate=2019-02-21&amp;latLong=34.05072,-118.25477&amp;rid=178280&amp;pageNumber=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">science center <\/span><\/a>or something of that nature. The idea is to find a place that appeals to both of you and enjoying taking in the experience together. Also, you know, without a reservation required.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29642\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29642\" class=\"wp-image-29642 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/la-national-history-museum.jpg\" alt=\"Los Angeles Natural History Museum\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/la-national-history-museum.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/la-national-history-museum-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/la-national-history-museum-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/la-national-history-museum-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Los Angeles Natural History Museum<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">4. Get childish<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> But then, sometimes you just want to stay in. Like, <i>really<\/i> in. If you happen to be the kind of person that thinks building forts in the living room is weird beyond a certain age, this option is probably not for you. For those of you that fall on the other side of things, you\u2019re not alone. Building a fort (pillow or sheet, I\u2019m not here to tell you how to do things) is a fun way to create an even more intimate space within your already intimate space. Once you\u2019re inside, you\u2019re not distracted by looking around and thinking about how you need to vacuum or seeing mail stacked on the counter that needs to be taken care of. No, once you\u2019re in, it\u2019s much easier to stay focused on the reason the structure was created in the first place: spending time together. Just grab some building materials, maybe a deck of cards, a computer for streaming some movies, ideas for \u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d, and your S.O. and you are well on your way to a relaxing, romantic, and maybe a little nostalgic day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">5. Recreate a magic moment<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> If time is getting a little down to the wire and you\u2019re worried that the day won&#8217;t be quite special enough, why not pull something from a great memory you already share? While I would never suggest trying to recreate it fully (because let\u2019s be honest, that\u2019s going to be nearly impossible to do), choose an element or two that clearly remind you of it and go from there. Choices are going to be specific to every relationship but if you\u2019re in need of some ideas, the signature cocktail from your wedding, the fantastic dish from your first Valentine\u2019s Day, or even a diffuser with the same essential oil blend as the spa you visited on a favorite trip are ideal places to start. For extra points (did I not tell you that we\u2019re keeping score?) try to incorporate samples from several different meaningful times into the evening, maybe even accompanied by a corresponding photo album. The individual pieces might not be completely original, but bringing them all together definitely will be. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">6. Look to the future<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2837207\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">a study from 2010<\/span><\/a>, the uptick in happiness we get from going on vacation actually becomes measurable the moment the plans are made. While this might sound like common sense when you think about it, that\u2019s not stopping me from using this fact toward making my point for this option. That said, if you weren\u2019t able to plan out the most amazing Valentine\u2019s Day event ever this year, why not give yourselves the gift of happiness via anticipation by planning the perfect trip together? It could be down the road to a B&amp;B next month, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/heres-how-to-have-a-romantic-getaway-to-los-cabos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">all-inclusive getaway<\/span><\/a> for a birthday, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Hotel-Search?destination=Kyoto,+Japan&amp;latLong=35.011229,135.768125&amp;regionId=6131486&amp;startDate=02\/14\/2019&amp;endDate=02\/21\/2019&amp;rooms=1&amp;_xpid=11905%7C1&amp;adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">visit on the other side of the world<\/span><\/a> for your next big anniversary. I could keep going with ideas, but I think you\u2019ve got the gist. However, if you find you could use a little more inspiration, we\u2019ve got more than a few lying around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/gnational-gnomads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29643\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29643\" class=\"wp-image-29643 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/joe-sarah-in-greece.jpg\" alt=\"Joe and Sarah on vacation in Greece\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/joe-sarah-in-greece.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/joe-sarah-in-greece-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/joe-sarah-in-greece-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/joe-sarah-in-greece-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A romantic trip to Greece with my wife, Sarah.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">7. DIY a deux<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> While it may not seem like the most romantic thing to do, similar to cooking, taking a step back to enjoy what you\u2019ve created together is definitely something that can bring you closer. What\u2019s better than cooking, you get to remember your efforts together every time you stop to admire the completed project. Maybe it\u2019s something as simple as some antiquing followed by an upcycle, or maybe it\u2019s something a little more complicated like adding that backsplash the kitchen has been crying out for. Just make sure to keep a good part of the focus on the journey, otherwise, you might be recalling a tensely frustrating Valentine\u2019s Day instead of a happy accomplishment every time you look at it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">8. Have a drive and a picnic<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> True story, sometimes you want to be alone, but you also don\u2019t want to be cooped up inside. For these cases, I would recommend a scenic drive with a picnic. It could be in your own car or a convertible you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Cars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">rented<\/span><\/a> for the day, along with a favorite route or an unplanned one, with a home-packed lunch or the spoils of a random charcuterie challenge you set yourselves at a grocery store halfway through the day. So long as you have enough gas to get home and a few road games to play along the way, you\u2019re probably set to have a pretty amazing day.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29647\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29647\" class=\"wp-image-29647 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/romantic-valentines-day-picnic.jpg\" alt=\"Romantic Valentine's Day Picnic\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/romantic-valentines-day-picnic.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/romantic-valentines-day-picnic-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/romantic-valentines-day-picnic-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/romantic-valentines-day-picnic-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29647\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Take a road trip and have a picnic.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">9. Spa day<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> Now, if you are able to find a spa that has last-minute openings for couples treatments, that\u2019s amazing\u2014good for you. If you\u2019re not, however, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have a spa day with your partner right at home. True, it\u2019s not going to be a <i>completely<\/i> work-free day, but that doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t still be wonderfully relaxing. Just make a list of all the things you like (or would like) to have done when you go to the spa and a quick pop to the store later you\u2019re ready to go. Cold towel and amazing ambient smell? Oil diffuser and\u2026yeah, damp towels that have been thrown in the fridge. Facial? You definitely have various pre-packaged options basically anywhere you go. Massage? Grab a hand-held one and take turns or grab a couple that sit in your chair and enjoy together. Soak with champagne? You guessed it, grab some bath salts and champagne. It only takes a little imagination to simulate a relaxing day at the spa. Even better, It\u2019ll probably only be a fraction of the price.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29649 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spa-day-valentines-day.jpg\" alt=\"Spa day on Valentine's Day\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spa-day-valentines-day.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spa-day-valentines-day-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spa-day-valentines-day-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spa-day-valentines-day-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p><em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes life can get a little too busy for our bandwidth, and one thing or another ends up falling through the cracks.
