Unique Ideas to Celebrate Valentine's Day:

Recreate your first date

Going back in time, reliving the moments you fell in love with each other, and reminiscing about how far you've come since that first night, can be one of the sweetest ways to celebrate the week of love. Visit the restaurant you first met and order the same dishes while talking about your first impressions and what you liked the most about each other can definitely rekindle romance.

Go on a double date

Adding another couple to the mix is a great way to take some pressure off the Valentine's Day dinner date ritual and share the love with some of your fave friends. You can even sign up for outdoor activities together, including picnics, rock climbing, go-karting, and more.

Enjoy a scenic bike ride

Grab your bikes or rent them for a day to enjoy a scenic bike ride around your city. You can even map out a scenic route to cover, pick a beautiful spot to end the bike ride, and then watch the sunset/sunrise together. You can also end the date with a picnic. So, pack a blanket, snacks, and drinks.

Book a class

If you and your partner have been thinking about taking a class together or sharing a hobby, then this is the time to indulge in it. However, if you are clueless about what to do, we have some ideas - you can go for pottery, cooking, knitting, resin art, dance, workout or a mixology class. It will allow you to do new things together and build fun memories.

Have an at-home spa night

Create a mini spa experience at your home during Valentine's Week with the promise of some goofy and romantic time together. You can slather each other with DIY masks, enjoy relaxing bath bombs, apply nail paint on each other, and end the spa session with a nourishing sheet mask. By the end of it, you will have great memories and soft, glowy skin.

Romantic stargazing date

Is there anything more romantic than looking at the stars together? So, book a stargazing night date with your partner on Valentine's Day or any day of Valentine's Week. Pack blankets, your favourite snacks, a thermos of your partner's favourite drink, and a bottle of wine to make it more romantic.

Do a puzzle or play a game together

If you two are home-bodies or just want to avoid the rush of couples stepping out on Valentine's Day, buy a puzzle or download a game to play together at home. You can solve a puzzle or play a video game while binging on your favourite snacks or listening to some good music. You can even take breaks in the middle to whip up dinner and a sweet dish to round off the date.
