February is a wonderful time to slow down and enjoy the small moments that make life special. Whether it’s finding ways to connect with loved ones, enjoying a favorite activity, or exploring something new, there are so many ways to add a little joy to your days this month.
Here are some ideas to brighten your February with a local Austin twist:
- Plan a Special Meal Together
Cooking or enjoying a meal together is a great way to create meaningful moments. Why not incorporate some local Austin flavors? Consider ordering takeout from Franklin Barbecue, Home Slice Pizza, or Kerbey Lane Café and enjoying it together at home. Don’t forget to add a sweet treat—Lammes Candies’ famous Texas pralines are a delightful dessert! - Explore Local Favorites (Virtually or In Person)
If you or your loved one are up for an outing, consider visiting the Zilker Botanical Garden or taking a relaxing stroll at the Lady Bird Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail. For those who prefer to stay home, virtual tours of the Blanton Museum of Art or the Bullock Texas State History Museum are fantastic ways to explore Austin’s treasures without leaving your couch. - Make Valentine’s Day Extra Special
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be fancy to be meaningful. Write a heartfelt note or card for a loved one, or spend the day reminiscing about special memories. If you’re looking for a unique gift, Austin’s own Blue Genie Art Bazaar offers a range of handmade, one-of-a-kind items. - Enjoy a Favorite Movie or Music
February is a great time to revisit classics. Share a favorite movie or music playlist with your loved one. For a true Austin experience, consider listening to music from local legends like Willie Nelson or Gary Clark Jr.—you can find playlists on Spotify or YouTube. - Capture the Moments
Start a memory journal or scrapbook to celebrate your time together. Include photos, notes, or even ticket stubs from past adventures. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to reflect on shared experiences.
