Mark your calendars for Love Day
It's time to mark your calendar's for Love Day. This year, Valentine’s Day lands on a Saturday (woohoo!). Are you planning something on the day itself? Or do you have reservations in mind for the following weekend? How about a bit of both?
We’ve rounded up some great Valentine’s Day plans in and around Tehaleh to make sure your date night is meaningful and memorable.
Go beyond your comfort zone.
Ideas for date night can often seem hard to conjure up – either you’re still recovering from gift-giving for the holidays, or you might be stumped over what you can plan that’s not in your typical “date night” rotation. Something out of the ordinary can mark the holiday well.
Never too cool for school: Take up a class together.
No need to hand out Valentine’s cards for this one—just bring your creativity! Whether you stay in or venture out, a class can be a fun way to connect. One bonus about taking a class is that you don’t necessarily have to leave the house. Reserve private one on one lessons from some of the most talented chefs around… all from the comfort of your own home. Take a look at YouTube, Skillshare, or even find an Airbnb Online Experience to round it all out.
- Cooking or baking class: Love going out to get sushi but never tried to make your own? Try a guided class to bring those rolling skills up to par.
- Woodworking Basics: Sounds slightly intimidating if you don’t have your own table saw, yet there’s plenty you can make before building that immaculate oak dresser you’ve always dreamed of. Try spoon carving and get to know the basics of wood whittling. You’ll be on your front porch rocker letting time idle away in no time.
- Pottery Night: TikTok and Instagram have brought pottery back to life. Get your supplies at Michael’s or Ben Franklin for your at-home pottery date night. There was a Ghost joke here, but it disappeared.
- Glass making. Inspired by the Chihuly glass all around the Puget Sound? Check out the Puget Sound Mobile Glass Blowing class schedule and make a shared gift that’s uniquely yours.
You both deserve that extra self-care.
Winter calls for a little pampering. Make it a gift—or better yet, book that couple’s massage that you’ve been eyeing.
- Massage Time Spa in Puyallup offers 60, 90, and 120 minute massages for two. Book ahead as this is likely a popular Valentine’s Day activity.
- Get Hot Yoga Studio brings balance to the mind, body, and spirit. While there are yoga classes available, there’s also a 5-day trip to Greece in May if you want to astound everybody on the block. For a slightly more accessible $70 you can book a 2-person sauna appointment.
Start your date night right- close to home.
Before you head out, check our local events to see if there's anything exciting happening in the Neighborwoods.
