You never know what hidden wildlife you'll discover or get to hear stories from the past while spending quality time together. Whether it's your first time or you're an old hand at the trails, there will always be something new around the corner - things that aren't in any guidebook. Nature is free and so full of rich experiences, making it the perfect place to share memories with a special person in your life.
Whether our in nature or an urban hike, as long as you're together (and have good shoes!) you'll have an amazing day.

Make each other homemade Valentine's Day cards
If you want to find a meaningful way to celebrate Valentine's Day, consider making homemade cards for each other. Not only will this be a more personal gesture than buying a store-bought card, it'll also give your partner an extra special keepsake they can cherish forever. Have fun with it - pick out the brightest and most cheerful paper you can find then dig out that unused box of art supplies and get creative. Hand-drawn hearts, little love notes - it's up to you how you choose to express your affection. And if you're feeling really bold, nothing says love like a finger painting! Whichever method you choose, your partner is sure to feel the love in your heartfelt message.
Go stargazing together
Gaze up at the stars with your loved one and let nature's beauty take your breath away. Whether it's from a secluded beach, a mountaintop, or even your own backyard, it's sure to be a special moment that you both will never forget. Stargazing is also a great opportunity for conversation - share your dreams and fantasies, tell stories about when you were young, or just enjoy each other's presence under the night sky. Maybe even try to spot a few constellations or comets! However you choose to spend it, just remember that the universe is a reminder of how much beauty and mystery can be found in the world. And adding your special someone to this experience only makes it all the more magical.
From your backyard to the great outdoors, set up camp with a bottle of wine and relax in each others company.
What to wear? Petite star burst earrings available in gold, rose gold and sterling silver.
