How to Celebrate Valentine’s Day Solo (and Love It!)

How to Create the Coziest, Most Comfort-Filled Valentine’s Day for One

Who decided Valentine’s Day was strictly a two-person activity? If you ask us, February 14th is the perfect day to celebrate the most important person in your life: you. Yes, you! The fabulous human who remembers to feed the pets, holds the door open for strangers, and can fold a fitted sheet... or at least make peace with the fact that nobody really can.

We think solo Valentine’s Day celebrations deserve all the chocolate, all the coziness, and definitely all the pajamas. No reservations, no waiting for your partner to pick a restaurant, no “What are we?” conversations—just pure, uninterrupted self-love wrapped in 100% comfy cotton. So grab your favorite PJs, fluff your pillow fort, and prepare to have the most relaxing Valentine’s Day ever. Spoiler: You might never want to share it again.

Step 1: Dress for the Occasion

Sure, some people dress up on Valentine’s Day. But you get to dress down—way, way down. Step one of a successful solo celebration is slipping into pajamas that feel like a hug from a marshmallow. Whether you love silly prints, classic sleepwear, or a pair of fleece joggers that make you question why jeans even exist, Valentine’s Day is your chance to embrace peak coziness. Go for matching tops and bottoms. Or don’t. This holiday has no rules. (Except one: absolutely no hard pants.) We have plenty of cute Valentine’s Day pajamas to choose from!

Pro tip: If your PJs have a pun on them? Even better. Nothing says “romance” like a moose blowing a kiss.

Step 2: Build the Ultimate Cozy Zone

You know what’s better than a candlelit dinner? A living room that looks like a cloud factory exploded, in the best way possible. Gather your softest blanket, your second-softest blanket, and every pillow you own, with bonus points if you keep adding pillows until your couch becomes unrecognizable. Think of it as constructing your very own snuggle fortress. You’re the architect and the royalty living in it, and because it’s Valentine’s Day, you’re also the guest of honor. Light a candle if you want ambiance, or skip it and go full string-light aesthetic. Cozy rules apply.

Step 3: The Snack Situation

This is where your solo celebration becomes legendary. Valentine’s Day treats are traditionally meant for sharing, but not today, my friend. Go wild with heart-shaped cookies, fancy chocolates, popcorn covered in everything seasoning, or even a charcuterie board overflowing with cheese you don’t have to explain yourself to. You get to decide the menu, and there’s absolutely no need to pretend you’re “saving room for dessert,” because dessert is the meal. Bonus tip: ice cream straight from the container is not only acceptable, it’s encouraged.

Step 4: Pick Your Perfect Activity

Some people binge rom-coms, some people read books, and some people spend Valentine’s Day building a 400-piece puzzle of a woodland moose wearing a scarf (we don’t judge—we celebrate). You can dive into a movie marathon with your favorite comfort films, sink into a bubble bath deep enough to lose track of time, get creative with crafting or journaling, or dance around your living room like nobody’s watching, because nobody is! This is your day, and you can even nap… multiple times… back-to-back. A full nap marathon.

Step 5: Give Yourself a Gift

Who says gifts have to come from someone else? Treat yourself to something that makes you smile. Maybe it’s new pajamas, plush socks, a new book, or a plush toy that doubles as a cuddle buddy and a couch accent. A little self-spoiling never hurt anybody. And honestly? You deserve it.

Step 6: End the Night with a Cozy Ritual

Finish your perfect solo Valentine’s Day by tucking into bed with a warm drink and a routine that feels like a hug. Herbal tea? Hot cocoa? A mug the size of your face? All excellent choices. Slip into your favorite LazyOne pajamas, pull up the covers, and remind yourself that you turned what could’ve been just another day into a full-blown celebration of comfort, confidence, and coziness.

So… Is Solo Valentine’s Day Underrated?

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about couples or fancy dinners. It can be about slowing down, cozying up, and treating yourself with the same care you give everyone else all year long. Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, a pet, or just your fluffiest pair of jammies, one thing is always true: Love starts with feeling good—and nothing feels better than LazyOne.
