Inside: 53 Sweet Valentine Ideas for Teens + Tweens.
Not sure how to create a special Valentine’s Day for teens?
Holidays offer ideal opportunities to create traditions your kids will remember for life. Now that your kids are getting older and have hit those teen years, creating new traditions they are into can be difficult. But change that this year with these cool valentines ideas for teens.
From festive activities, sweet treats, and heartfelt gifts, these ideas are special for any age of teen.
Cute Valentine Ideas for Teens
1. Make a Special Breakfast: Chocolate chip pancakes are a good option. The meal doesn’t have to be elaborate to be special – just something that your kids like but don’t get very often.
2. A Movie: To be seen at the movies with one’s parents is not exactly a “cool” thing for a teenager to do. Provide your child and a few close friends with free movie tickets and popcorn. Take them to the movies while you go out to dinner or the mall. Spending the evening at home with your teen, renting some recent movies and ordering pizza might go over well.
3. Coupons: Having an argument with a teenager about household duties, curfews, or sleep patterns is something no parent wants to go through. Relax a bit by using a coupon booklet to redeem discounts. It’s up to you what the coupons say; examples include “Stay Out Late Night” and “No Chores Tonight.”
4. Pampering. Plan a spa day, hair appointment, or nail salon visit with your daughter for a special Mother-Daughter Valentine’s Day treat. After that, go out for a nice lunch and maybe some shopping.
5. A Party: Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a goofy party complete with tacky decorations, party favors, and refreshments. Guests are expected to dress in red and pink. Your teen and their guests may roll their eyes at first, but once it gets started, they will have a blast.
