Many associate Valentine's Day with kitsch, but it doesn't have to be a huge bouquet of flowers and the most expensive box of chocolates in the shape of a heart. Valentine's Day should be about spending time together, whether with your partner, friends or family.
For us, a romantic day starts with a leisurely breakfast together, of course! Especially in the morning, when you're in a rush to pack up all your things and almost rush out of the apartment, you should just stop and take it easy. We'll show you how to do it and how to have a cosy start to Valentine's Day with five tips.

Where does the custom come from and what is behind the name?
Saint Valentine of Terni
According to legend, Saint Valentine gave flowers from his garden to newly married couples. He is said to have married several couples in the third century despite the Emperor's ban. This is because marriages contracted under him were said to be under a special star. Today, Saint Valentine is considered the patron saint of lovers.
Valentine's Day today
Since then, it has become a custom on Valentine's Day to give your loved one little things like flowers or chocolate. But also to take him or her out for dinner or on a date.
We take Valentine's Day as an opportunity to simply spend a little more time together, preferably over breakfast, of course. That's why we want to show you how you can make your Valentine's breakfast even more romantic with 5 simple tips:
Five tips for your Valentine's breakfast
1. Take time for each other
The best gift is and remains time – spending quality time together and creating memories. That's why it's worth taking a little more time in the morning before you start work or fill your day with other tasks.
2. Be my VERIVALentine
A cosy breakfast for two with delicious food and good conversation – who wouldn't want that! Of course, it doesn't always have to be at the breakfast table. For a little variety, we suggest you have a picnic on the floor on a blanket, on the couch or (for a change) even in bed. Because you sit across from each other at the breakfast table almost every day, a picnic on the living room floor with a bowl of warm porridge, on the other hand, is something special. If you want your breakfast to be a little more extravagant, we recommend Verival Crunchy Love Slices with raspberry and beetroot cream. You can buy our granola in the shop. You can find the recipe below.

3. Reminisce
Do you have a song in common or did you go to an unforgettable concert together? Relive beautiful experiences with the right background music or by looking through old photo albums at brunch.
4. The most beautiful Valentine's gift
In our eyes, the best Valentine's gift is not material, but kind words, gestures, laughing together and having fun. But also little notes, nice messages and sweet letters. This is, of course, not only a nice gesture for Valentine's Day, but also throughout the rest of the year.
And if you do feel like surprising your partner with a little something, take a look at our porridge gift sets. 😉 Buy your porridge now at the Verival Shop. Nuts, cashews, hazelnuts are always a healthy and loving way to reach the heart.
5. Why wait for Valentine's Day?
As already mentioned, we think that small gestures and spending time together are important not only on Valentine's Day. You should show and tell your loved ones how much you care about them as often as you get the chance. ♥
