Not every one of us is a flower person. If you want to give a unique, personal, cute, and thoughtful gift this year, why not order a customized couple illustration from Karya Kita? You can get a 4R or 5R printed illustration with a message in a floating glass frame at a very reasonable price. A larger standard frame is also available. Orders take about a week to process, so make sure you order early!
Spend a relaxing painting session with your special someone with Bartega studio this year. They offer a painting class right on Valentine's day this year titled "Swan Lake." The class will be done online via Zoom, and the painting materials will be shipped to your home. It's an acrylic on canvas class for beginners, so don't worry, even if you don't feel like you're artistic at all! If you would rather paint without participating in a class, then check out their paint-by-the-numbers kits available for purchase. The painting will be a beautiful keepsake to remember the special day.
Activities like rock climbing release endorphins and require couples to lean on teamwork skills and trust one another. This year, why not celebrate Valentine's Day at Bremgra Indonesia. You can get your workout while spending time together. Located just a little outside Jakarta, Bremgra Indonesia offers space for wall climbing, go-kart, and rope activities. Contact them for the latest Covid-19 protocols before your visit.
Get intimate this season of romance at the familiar comfort of your home with long conversations over some cheese and chocolate fondue. Get gourmet cheeses with bread and crackers at the grocery store. Then, cut up some fruits and sweets, arrange them nicely on sticks to go along with your chocolate couverture in a fondue pot. Light up some candles and enjoy!
