Here are our top 6 Valentine’s Day ideas to show them what they really mean to you.
1. Give them a romantic experience they’ll treasure
Whisk your loved one away for a relaxing and romantic getaway at Moose Bottom Cottage. Private and secluded, the cottage lies nestled on 36 acres ideal for an intimate night to reconnect with each other.
Cuddle up next to the fireplace with wine and a charcuterie board, or take a stroll through the snow-covered property. The cottage is wheelchair friendly and the location provides easy access to Valentine’s Day date ideas in the mountains, Calgary, and Cochrane to really round out your stay.
2. Prepare them for their next big adventure
Show your favourite adventure partner you’re ready to “take it outside” with GhostekNorth. Their Cochrane-created apparel offers technical Valentine’s Day gifts for outdoor lovers, including hats and T-shirts for steamy summer fun, and buffs and toques for walkin’ in a winter wonderland together.
Make sure they’re ready for a summer splash with a Naish Standup Paddle Board. When the time comes, you’ll both love getting out on the water together and taking a scenic cruise on the board.
3. Howl at the moon together
If furry friends are their love language, take a walk on the wild side with your love at Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary. The tours and educational programs will give them plenty of photo opportunities with these stunning creatures, as well as uncover the secrets of wild wolves. Discover the intricacies of wolf pack relationships, and the responsible stewardship and ownership of wolfdogs.
Whether you are looking for the perfect gift for your special person, want an activity to enjoy with a loved one, or looking to give the wolfdogs a little bit of extra affection, the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary has a variety of Valentine’s themed activities February 2nd to February 13th as part of their “Wolf You Be Mine?”
