Valentine's Day for singles: how to make it a loving day for yourself

Valentine's Day. For some, it's a day filled with roses, a romantic dinner, gifts, or perhaps even (anonymous) declarations of love. But what if you're single on Valentine's Day? Then it seems like this day is about everyone except you. Let's turn that around. Valentine's Day is all about love—and there's nothing more important than a healthy dose of self-love. So, this one is all about you. That's why we have some tips for pampering yourself this Valentine's Day. Have fun!

1. Take yourself on a date

Do you love dining out, but only do it when someone else is coming along? Why? Wear something you feel fantastic in and reserve a table for one. Still too exciting? Turn it into a mini restaurant at home: candles lit, your favorite dish, and no obligation to chat if you don't feel like it.

Tip: Just like during a dinner for two, put your phone away.

2. Dress nicely

Dress to impress! Definitely yourself. Often, when you wear something nice, you'll feel better about yourself. So, get out of those sweatpants and put on something you feel good in. Is that sexy lingerie? Go for it! Is that a three-piece suit? Yes, yes, yes!

Tip: Don't forget to admire yourself in the mirror.

3. Give yourself a Valentine's Day gift

It might not be a surprise anymore to get something for yourself, but it's certainly nice. Treat yourself to something you've always wanted. Or a typical Valentine's Day gift like chocolate, flowers, a scented candle... or something that helps you connect more with your own body and pleasure. In LieLei 's single toys collection, you'll find toys specifically designed for personal pleasure. Because what's a better Valentine's Day gift than giving yourself an orgasm?

4. Consciously take time for yourself

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be big or busy. Make it a day of pampering:

• Take a warm bath or long shower
• Wear a face mask
• Write down what you are grateful for
• Meditate or listen to a nice podcast

Do what you feel like doing, be kind to yourself and above all, take it easy.

5. Self-love also means sex with yourself

Let's be honest: masturbation is one of the most direct forms of self-love. And yet, it's often overlooked or considered awkward. We think that's nonsense, of course. Because why should romance only be something you share with someone else? Discover what you enjoy, without rushing, without expectations. With your hands, your imagination, or a toy that helps you truly relax and enjoy.

Solo sex is:

• healthy
• stress-reducing
• empowering
• and completely yours

A vibrator can be a good addition – not as a replacement for a partner, but as an extension of your own pleasure.

6. Change the story: single ≠ alone

Sometimes it seems like having a partner is the norm, making being single seem incomplete or something else negative. It's absolutely not. But being single doesn't mean you're lacking anything. It means you have space. For yourself. For growth. For fun. So, enjoy yourself. Even if you do have a partner ;-).

Be your own Valentine

Whether you're dining out, treating yourself, discovering a toy, or simply doing nothing: Valentine's Day is what you make it. You deserve to be celebrated – today and every day.
