Whether you want to avoid the crowds at restaurants or you’re trying to save a little money, you can make Valentine’s Day at home romantic and fun.

When we think of Valentine’s Day, we think of food –– candy or a special dinner with your loved one. If you’re staying home this year, have no fear, Publix is here!

Here are some fun ideas for spending Valentine’s Day at home.

  • Enjoy some quality screen time. A night in front of your favorite streaming service can be surprisingly romantic and fun. Create a lineup of your honey’s favorite TV show episodes or re-watch that movie you watched on your first date.
  • Game on. Challenge your partner to a board game duel or video game marathon. Pick games specifically made for two players –– think Scrabble, checkers or classic video games –– and spend Valentine’s Day being playfully competitive.
  • Hit the floor. Having an indoor picnic will give your dinner a more adventurous feel. And if you have a fireplace, even better! Create a menu of finger foods and lay a blanket on the floor for a unique and romantic dining experience.
  • Make it picture perfect. Take some time to go through photo albums and memorabilia from your relationship. Relive those happy times you’ve spent together and be sure to snap pics from this day for new memories to have!
