If your heart’s set on taking your sweetheart out for a romantic Valentine’s dinner at one of DFW’s myriad fine-dining establishments, you likely made reservations months ago. Uh-oh, you didn’t? No worries. Lennar shows some love with 10 alternative ideas for February 14th.

On a roll: Lakeland Hills Skate Park, within 30 miles of Lennar’s Bridgewater Classic, a new community coming soon with new homes for sale in Princeton, TX, gets you and your sweetie ramped up to your hearts’ content.

Go natural: Within just 8 miles of Prairie Creek, where Lennar will soon offer new homes for sale in Dallas, TX, the Trinity River Audubon Center provides a perfect spot for a romantic and secluded getaway, where you can walk nature trails and see an array of wildlife.

Of course, chocolate: Billed as one of the 10 best romantic things to do in DFW, the Dallas By Chocolate Tour seems like a sweet no-brainer. You’ll also likely pass several of Lennar’s 81 communities with new homes for sale in Fort Worth, TX, Royse City, TX and beyond.

Make your hearts soar: Book a dinner-and-flight package to put some wind beneath your lover’s wings. The eatery that pilots these high-flying adventures lies just 30 minutes from a new Lennar community, Overland Grove, with new homes for sale in Forney, TX

Another way to fly: Jump into a balloon basket, complete with bubbly, for one of the sunrise-to-sunset rides available just 15 miles from Lennar’s Preserve at Honey Creek, a community coming soon with new homes for sale in McKinney, TX.

Art spells “heart”: Go a bit highbrow and take in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, where fairy lights decorate the lawn and Café Modern serves a romantic meal.

Pull the trigger: For Valentine’s Day Texas-style, try the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Valentine’s Shoot. Bring your own guns and ammo, or rent/buy some, and register for a chance to spend a weekend driving an Aston Martin—James Bond’s car. The event’s in Grapevine, just 32 miles from Fireside Park, a Lennar community with new homes for sale in Denton, TX.

Get butterflies: “Love Is in the Air” at Texas Discovery Gardens’ Butterfly House, where Valentine’s meal features chocolate-covered insects and a presentation about bug love.

Movie magic: The Dallas Arboretum screens Beauty and the Beast and offers live music on the lawn. Bring a blanket, a picnic and your romantic A-game.

Oh, the horror: Score major creativity points and get your hearts beating in entirely unexpected ways at Moxley Manor’s Valentine’s Day Haunted House.

We can’t help you if you forget your anniversary, but Lennar’s Everything’s Included® homes offer plenty of standard upgrades, including some new homes with The World’s First Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Design.

Cupid is fluttering just around the corner with his bow drawn, ready to inspire romance and the proclamation of love. Are you prepared to shower your friends, family, and significant other with sweet words, chocolate, and red rose petals this Valentine’s Day? Or are you still searching for a gift as unique as your love?

Below are ten unique Valentine’s Day gifts that will brighten the day and home of the special someone in your life:

1.Chocolate – We know, we know, chocolate isn’t exactly a groundbreaking revelation in the Valentine’s Day gift category – but there are ways to make this classic gift a bit more special.

2. Jewelry – No Valentine’s day gift-giving list would be complete without jewelry. We love this simple heart-shaped necklace perfect for those on a budget, this heart-shaped charm, and this Deco Cigar Band Ring for him.  

3. Pajamas – All in favor of gathering the family for an adorable Valentine’s Day morning-matching-pajama-selfie at home must check out Hanna Andersson’s “Hearts on Hearts” pajamas. These cozy, organic knit P.J.s come in a range of sizes and are currently on sale!

4. Edible Arrangement – If you and your loved ones can’t be together on Valentine’s Day, an Edible Arrangement is a fantastic gift to have delivered. Prices range to accommodate all budgets, and items vary from sweet to spicy, so you’ll have plenty of options for everyone on your Valentine’s Day list. These arrangements add so much festive cheer to the home.

5. Couple’s Massage – Reconnect and relax with the one you love by giving the gift of experience. A couple’s massage is a great way to unwind and share some time. To follow-up on your massages, indulge in a full-on spa day or retreat home for a nice meal and a glass of wine for a romantic Valentine’s Day with your partner.

6. Flowers – We know what you’re thinking as you roll your eyes… “flowers for Valentine’s Day? Never would have thought of that!” But hear us out. Yes, everyone gets their loved ones red roses for V-day, but what about stepping outside the classic dozen and opting for a flower with meaning? Magnolias, for instance, are incredibly romantic, unique and set the mood for true love. Or gift a potted orchid, which represents seduction, luxury, love, hope, and luck and will add beauty to the home for as long as it’s cared for. 

7. Candles – If you’re planning on showing some love to your co-workers or friends, candles are a fantastic way to do so. We love the D.W. Home candles because their quality scents can fill a room and last for hours without breaking the bank. You can find scents like Relaxing Lavender and Peony Petals online. 

8. Wine – Give your Galentine’s the gift of wine this year with either a custom labeled bottle or if you’re feeling extra generous – a wine subscription delivered right to their front door.

9. Personalized Star Map – This adorable gift is both a thoughtful and sentimental addition to your home’s decor. Companies like Under Lucky Stars map the way the night sky looked on a date significant to you and your S.O. You can choose whichever date is meaningful to you – your wedding anniversary, or the first time you said: “I love you.” Is there a better, more unique way to show your love than that?  

10. Homemade Cards – Finally, and perhaps most importantly, comes the card. We know it’s tempting to let Hallmark do the work, but this year we’re encouraging you to dig deep and find the words in your heart. Let yourself get mushy and open up this Valentine’s Day! You don’t have to be Shakespeare to tell someone how you feel! Just go for it, and when in doubt, sometimes “I love you,” is all you need to say.

We believe that home is where the heart is, so we hope you’re sharing the love in your new home and feeling the love within your community. Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Lennar!

Valentine’s Day is a time to love and be loved, and show that special someone in your life a little extra sweetness. Whether you’re celebrating at home or with a unique out-of-the-restaurant experience, Nashville has no shortage of interesting and exciting things to do. There are endless ways you can show that love is in the air without creating extravagant plans to show how much someone means to you.
