Valentine’s Day is a day to share with the ones that you love. Many people feel the pressure of coming up with Valentine's Day date ideas that will keep their partner happy.
Remember, you don't have to do something extreme to make the day memorable! Simply putting a classic twist on traditional ideas could be all it takes. Here are five top Valentine's Day date ideas to get you started.
1) Restaurant Date
Going out for a meal in a nice restaurant is one of the most classic Valentine's Day date ideas. If you're trying to come up with something extra creative, then it may seem a little too easy, but you can still make a romantic meal something more unique. You may want to take your partner to a restaurant outside of town, or visit a place with live music. In short, going to the kind of place you don't normally go can be enough in itself to make the date special.2) Stay Home
Another one of the most popular Valentine's Day date ideas is simply to stay home. This may sound boring at first, but there are many ways in which you can make this a special evening (even if you don't have much money to spend).For example, you could buy small gifts and create a Valentine's treasure hunt around the home, or decorate the place with love notes. Then watch a Romantic Movie
open a bottle of wine and relax . Some of the best movies to use for this special evening are the old romantic movies that you can get on DVD. Plan a movie marathon based around one of your favorite actors to make the evening last even longer.Slow dance with your Valentine after the movie is over. This is a traditional way to celebrate Valentine’s Day that is often forgotten. You do not need to be out in a fancy restaurant to be able to slow dance with the one that you love. Place a couple of slow romantic CD’s on repeat so that you do not have to end your special slow dance.
3) Attend A Show
Going out to a show can be an excellent date idea, as it's something you don't generally do every day like ballet or opera . You could, of course, go to the movies. But if you're the kind of people who do this regularly, you'll want to put a special "Valentine's spin" on what you do.
4) Valentine's Picnic
This is another date idea that's simple, cheap, yet extremely thoughtful. Lay out a blanket on the floor of your living room near fireplace to make it a special picnic desert for Valentine’s Day. Light candles around your living room to set the mood in the room for your special desert. You want the lighting to be dim, if you can do this with your lights that will work too. Place some pillows around the edges of the blanket that you laid out to give you something to lean on.
You could create a romantic atmosphere in the room with rose petals, candles and a basket full of chocolates and champagne. In many ways, a date like this shows just how much effort you've put in to show you care.
You can also turn on soft romantic music to keep the theme of romance going.
5) A Little Pampering
If you're stuck on what to do for Valentine's Day, then a surprise gift idea could be a spa break. Most of us are so busy in our lives that we rarely get to sit down and take time out for ourselves. This is why a day of pampering can be the perfect gift for both men and women!
Many men choose a spa break for their partner without considering the fact that they could attend too! Similarly, if you're trying to buy for your husband, why not buy a package you can enjoy together? Men may not be as keen on the idea, at first, but they'll soon come around when they realize just how relaxing the spa really is!Most spas put together special packages for couples looking at what to do for Valentine's Day. They make it as easy as possible for you, picking out some of their most popular treatments and allowing you to go through them all together. This way, you'll get to enjoy the day together without having to put in any effort!
