Love in Lockdown: Celebrating Valentine’s Day 2021

If there is one thing we all deserve this year, it is to celebrate whenever and however we can. No holiday should pass without the clink of champagne glasses from the comfort of our lounge or the heartfelt ‘I love you’ over a skype call. Whether you’re an avid Valentine’s Day celebrator or someone who usually let’s this holiday of romance slide, this year a COVID-19-safe Valentines celebration is certain to lift your spirits. Oh, and a few sparkly gifts might help with that too!

We have put together some of our favorite ‘love in lockdown’ inspiration, alongside a specially curated gift guide to keep the fires of love burning for Valentine’s 2021.

Romantic riddles, puzzling post-its and perhaps some picture clues…a treasure hunt is a great way to shake up the day, even when you’re confined to your home. Take your partner through the journey of your relationship with clues and prizes to spark passion. The pièce de resistance? Perhaps an exquisite, pavé pendant featuring dazzling rows of our A CUT ABOVE® diamonds. A treasure truly worth searching for.

You may have already realized the power of music during lockdown and its incredible ability to transport us. A Valentine’s Day powered by music is sure to allow for some much-needed escapism. A waltz by candlelight? A bargain disco ball and some glow sticks for a ‘stay at home’ rave? Whatever tunes get you going, take to the floor and dance the night away. Our ‘one heart for two’ diamond pendant is the perfect embodiment of harmony, partnership and passion – the perfect gift for a lover in sync with the beat of your heart.

Breakfast in bed is a tried and tested classic for kicking off a special Valentine’s Day. Perhaps the small joy of lockdown is that you can choose to stay there all day if you wish! Fresh pastries and mimosas are a favorite and big blooms of roses – a must. But we all know the best things come in small packages, and a jewelry box lovingly nestled on the edge of a breakfast tray is the stuff dreams are made of. The simple elegance of our ‘Essence’ necklace with its delicate diamond detail is sure to start the day off right, and to make this Valentine’s Day truly memorable.

Creating an idyllic spa experience from the comfort of your home may sound like a stretch, but with a little imagination you can bring the much-needed R&R right to your door. Scented candles, white linen sheets, fluffy robes and some decadent massage oils will come together to create your own little pocket of zen. Forgo extravagant spa prices in favor of timeless, classic diamond studs. Even the Waldorf doesn’t end their massages with diamonds…this year, she really can have it all!

Perhaps you will impress your amore with your kitchen skills, or maybe you’ll opt for your favorite takeaway – however you choose to dine at home this Valentine’s day, we can help you add a little sparkle. Think that a ring in a fortune cookie is reserved for proposals? Think again! Get creative with presenting your gift over a romantic meal together – we think this gorgeous diamond and pink sapphire ring is just perfect for delighting her over dinner.

Travel is off the table, but if you’re blessed with the right weather a home-grown glamping session is the perfect Valentine’s Day treat. Transform your garden into an out-door paradise with cosy blankets and lighting and sit beneath the stars together. Complete the evening with a gorgeous Tacori promise bracelet with a delicate chain and key to lock up your love.

A safe celebration needn’t lose an ounce of magic and Whiteflash is here to help you find the perfect gift for your beloved. Browse our beautiful collection of diamond jewelry and contact us for friendly assistance at any time. Make this Valentine’s Day one to remember for all the right reasons.
