You might have had several Valentine’s Days before this one or it might be your first as a couple, either way you’re going to want to do something special. You may want to go all out with a helicopter ride tour of the city or do something cosy like chick-flicks and dinner at home. Whichever person you are and whatever your budget, there are special things you can do this Valentines.

Discover some unique Valentines date ideas so by the time the 14th comes, you are ready to surprise your loved one.

 Pick their favourite romantic movies
There’s no time quite like Valentine’s Day to watch chick flicks and order take-out. Pop open the red wine and snuggle up together for this special evening. It’s lower key but can still feel special with small finishing touches.

Go back to your first date
If you want to do something different this year, why not try recreating your first date. As far as unique ideas go, it can’t get more personal than this. Depending on how long you have been together, it may require you going back a bit. The effort you make though will be well worth it when you see the look on your loved one’s face.

Go camping in a quiet spot surrounded by nature
Valentine weekend can also be a good excuse to explore and get away from the normal nine to five. Breaking routine and doing something spontaneous can be so romantic in itself. So why not choose to surprise your partner with this unique gift and take them somewhere you know they’ll love.

Do something action-packed
This can certainly be a little different but it’s good to mix things up every once in a while. Something like going to a shooting range for the day, quad biking or paint balling will be a fun way to celebrate this year.

Drive around the city and check out new spots
Simple enough but may require a bit of planning on the map, this is a lovely idea that enables you to experience new things together. Check out quirky cafes or museums you might have missed on your excursion.

Ice skating
Don’t you just love it when you see couples go by holding hands and giggling on the ice rink? It’s a beautiful way to spend Valentines and do something you wouldn’t usually do.

Enjoy sunset together
Grab some chocolates, wine and maybe a picnic then choose a romantic spot on a hill somewhere.  Staring at the sunset together can offer a beautiful moment and be something simple yet meaningful.

Choosing one of these unique ideas will set your Valentine’s Day off to a great start. So, keep things sweet and enjoy the time you spend with your loved one this Valentine’s Day.
