The celebration of Valentine's Day is a wonderful way to show those we care about how much they mean to us. For your senior loved one, there are plenty of budget-friendly activities that can make it an extra special holiday. Most importantly staying safe and keeping social distancing practices in place while celebrating is key this year.
Valentine's Day Ideas for Your Senior Loved One on a Budget
There are plenty of ways to enjoy Valentine's Day without breaking the bank. As a start, here are some budget-friendly activity ideas that your senior loved one can do this Valentine's season:
A Special Meal at Home
A great way to celebrate Valentine's Day is by having a special dinner in the comfort of your home. Your senior loved one can purchase ingredients and create a romantic dinner at an affordable cost. This makes it easy for nearly any budget, while still adding that extra special something to share with a loved one or close friend.
Have a Movie Marathon
There's nothing like a good movie night. Whether it's snuggled up on the couch or with friends, your senior loved one can watch their favorite Valentine's movies for an inexpensive but enjoyable evening. They can break out some of their classic collections at home or search for affordable streaming options online.
Go for a Nature Walk
Take a scenic and adventurous stroll through the beautiful outdoors for some fresh air and a change of scenery. From Kailua Beach to Hawaii Kai's Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve there are plenty of picturesque spots all around Oahu that offer amazing views without spending a dime.
Plan a Game Day
This one is ideal for seniors who have access to larger outdoor spaces like a backyard. Games will keep the conversation flowing and offer plenty of laughter as everyone competes for the win. Mini golf or timeless classic yard games, such as croquet, horseshoes, bocce ball, and badminton are some great budget-friendly alternatives without having to leave the house.
Take a Virtual Tour
It's the perfect way to explore and find new places in Oahu from anywhere. Whether it's a virtual tour of Honolulu Zoo or checking out Downtown Maunakea Street via Street View, there are plenty of amazing sites to discover without spending anything extra.
Host a Virtual Party
Maybe not the same as throwing a real one, but with all the modern technology it's easy to plan a virtual gathering and keep everyone connected. Your senior loved one can have everyone join through video chat or hold a group online game tournament to make an extra special Valentine's Day party.
Work on a Craft
Bring out the craft supplies and let your senior loved one show off their creativity by making special Valentine's Day cards for loved ones. It's a touch of thoughtfulness that won't cost much money but will be cherished. Decoration supplies like colorful papers, glitter, stickers, or markers make it easy to create something meaningful.
