Valentine’s Day Ideas from the Digital Link Team

Whether you love it, or hate it, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! For some, thinking of unique ways to say, “I love you,” or planning an enjoyable activity can be challenging.  

But don’t worry! We are here to help you show those you care that you are thinking of them on this day of love. 

The way to the heart is through the stomach 

Are you a foodie? Is your significant other a lover of delicious cuisine? (I mean who isn’t?!). If you want to show off your culinary abilities this Valentine’s Day, check out BigOven. Available for iOS and Android, this app features over 350,000 recipes; you are certain to find something that will impress. Turn the evening into a mini cooking class at home, preparing a new dish as a family! 

We know that not everyone is a chef. In that case, support local by ordering in from your favourite restaurant.  

Here are some of our top picks: 

• MEAT 
• Seitans 
• Tiffin 
• Rostizado (don’t get Bree started on their Seafood Molcajete, or their Cauliflower, or their Queso Verde…) 
• Cerdos Tacos and Tequila  
• Jack’s Burger Shack

Trying some new cocktails may be less intimidating. Cocktail Flow features a large array of recipes with step-by-step instructions. The Shirley Ginger from these Best Mocktail Recipes is a great non-alcoholic Valentine’s treat, with beautiful reds from the grenadine and maraschino cherries! 

Find something for your viewing pleasure 

From Netflix to Amazon Prime Video, there is no shortage of streaming options for you, your crush, or family! 

If you too find yourself adding to or browsing your Watch List more often than making a viewing decision, here are some recommendations from the Digital Link team to help you press play: 

• Ted Lasso (Apple TV) 
• Money Heist (Netflix) 
• Don’t Look Up (Netflix) 
• How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (Netflix) 
• The Great (Amazon Prime)

Get creative together 

Want to explore your artistic side? Whether you are a novice painter, or have never picked up a paintbrush, YouTube is an excellent resource to help plan your very own paint night at home. A quick trip your local craft supply store can provide creative fun with your friends, partner, or family on short notice! From a Stormy Seaside to Rainbow Sky Lovebirds, depending on what you like to paint, a quick search will give you a variety of videos to choose from.

Whatever you do to celebrate, we hope you enjoy quality time with the person, or people, you love most.
