Whether you’ve been together for two months or two decades, coming up with a great Valentine’s Day idea can be tricky! But there’s no need to stress. There are plenty of ways to make the day special – without costing you an arm and a leg.

With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of our top ten date ideas. All you have to do is slip on your best outfit, queue up the romantic tunes, and choose the perfect present.

Thoughtful Valentine’s Day Ideas

1. Arts & Crafts Workshop

For a fun-filled Valentine’s Day, pick up some art supplies and get crafty! Let your creative juices flow with fingerpainting, portraits or paper mache. You could even throw a couples event and get your besties involved.

2. Outdoor Cinema for Two

Why not hire a projector and organise a romantic outdoor cinema for two? Wrap up in your warmest gear, bust out a bottle of bubbly, and get cosy under the stars. Remember to carve out some time mid-movie for stargazing and snacks!

3. Pizza Cooking Competition

Pizza + competition = Valentine’s Day success. BYO pizza base (or if you’re feeling adventurous, you can make it from scratch) and go crazy with the toppings. Shape your dough into a love heart or write a romantic message in pepperoni, and may the best pizza win!

4. Create a Time Capsule

There’s no better way to reminisce on your relationship than with a couple’s time capsule. You can put in old photos, special souvenirs, and treasured memories from your time together. Include a note to your future selves, for when you find the box in years to come.

5. A Gift a Day

Feeling generous? Make every day a celebration of love with a present a day for a week or a month. Flowers are always a great option, but a beautiful house plant or an elegant vase are great alternatives. If you’re on a budget, then get creative with homemade presents and second-hand gifts.

6. Write a Love Letter

If you’ve never done it before, now’s the time to put pen to paper and show them how much you care. Remind them of their best qualities and how they make you feel. Even if you’re not the romantic type, give it a go – you might surprise yourself!

7. Random Road Trip

No destination? No problem! As long as you’ve got each other, that’s all that matters. Put a random postcode into the sat nav and see where it takes you! This fun-filled adventure is guaranteed to push you out of your comfort zone and bring you closer together.

8. Send Them on a Scavenger Hunt

Keep your Valentine guessing by sending them on a scavenger hunt. Write a list of items they need to find, places they need to visit, or a combo of the two that culminates in a sweet surprise.

9. The Date Scrapbook Challenge

We’ve given you our best date ideas for Valentine’s Day 2023. So if you’re feeling super inspired, we challenge you to do them all before the end of the year and document each date in a scrapbook. If that doesn’t impress your other half, we don’t know what will!
