Unforgettable things to do on Valentines Day

Valentine's Day is make or heartbreak. Sure, you’ve got the chocolates and roses. But guess what? So does everybody else. When special has become expected, your ideas for Valentine’s Day must be extraordinary. 

Relax. There’s no need to call for Cupid. We’ve got your romantic plans covered with this list. There’s a homemade fort, a wine bar crawl, and outdoor dates for nature lovers. And those ideas are only the beginning. Keep reading for more surprisingly intimate ideas. 

Like Cupid with his arrow that fills you with love, Blossom Costumes have outfits that fill you with confidence. 

1. Build a love fort at home

Grab every blanket and pillow available and build an epic fort together. It takes ‘Netflix and chill’ to a whole new level.

How to make your fort unforgettable:

• • Fill it with pink balloons. 
• • Play two truths and a lie and share each others’ deepest secrets. 
• • Pack an indoor picnic for your fort. You can cosy up all night. 
• • Make it a gaming night, run a rom-com marathon, or fill your time with some other activity. 

2. Wine bar crawl to a burlesque show

A fancy night out is a Valentine's day cliche for a reason. Drinks, dinner, and a show make it a night you won’t ever forget—even if the wine bar crawl makes it difficult to remember. 

Where to go to make your night special?

• • Go to a Burlesque show. Afterwards, you can put on a burlesque show at home. 
• • Forget the beer crawl. It’s the wine bar crawl that’s perfect for Valentines Day. After all, you need a rosé to go with your Valentines Day rose.  
• • Treat yourself to some fine-dining. 
• • And if you’re feeling a little worse for wear the next day, take a spa day together. 

3. Play dress-ups

If love is blind, why are sexy costumes so popular on Valentines Day? Of course, it’s all innocent fun. But why not find out for yourself?

Here’re saucy costume ideas for Valentines Day:

• • Nurse and doctor.
• • Flight attendant and pilot. 
• • Womens police outfit and prisoner.
• • Warrior queen and gladiator.
• • Cowgirl and cowboy.   

4. Be creative and get messy together

If you’ve seen the movie Ghost, you’ll remember the scene where Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze make pottery together. With the right creative activity, that’s how your Valentine’s Day can be. 

Pottery too messy? Here’re some creative Valentines’ ideas:

• • Cook a meal together. There’s nothing better than a sexy chef. 
• • Make some unique cocktails to go with your delicious dinner.
• • Skip dessert and test your creativity with some body painting. 

5. Outdoor dates for nature lovers

The outdoors are filled with natural beauty, just like your partner (feel free to write that on a card). From walks on the beach to sleeping under the stars, nature is even more romantic than a Hugh Grant movie. 

What are the most romantic outdoor dates for Valentines Day?

• • Go hiking. You’ll fall more in love every step. 
• • If you’ll be in the city for Valentines Day, go indoor rock climbing or on a bike ride. 
• • a picnic to your nearest botanical garden. 
• • Go ‘glamping’—luxury camping. It’s the best of both worlds. 
• • Plan a scavenger hunt outdoors. It’s the best way to give a Valentines’ Day present.
• • Science has found that experiences filled with adrenaline increases the love between couples. So go skydiving. 

6. Make a romantic (cheesy) music video together

Making a cheesy music video together is easy to do. All you need is your favourite couples song, uninhibited acting and dancing, and an editing app. It may not be something you want to share with the world, but it’s something you’ll treasure forever. 

Like the music idea but don’t want to make a video? Here’re three alternatives:

• • Make a playlist of all your favourite couple songs. 
• • Head out dancing. It doesn’t matter if it’s swing, salsa, jazz, or ballroom. The music and your partner will get your hips moving.
• • Write some poetry together. Or a rap if you want to get jiggy with it. 

7. Recreate your first date

Did you go to the movies? Dinner? Hiking? Of course, it’s not where you went that mattered, but who you went with. So recreating your first date will bring back the excitement of getting to know each other for the very first time—and the passion born from it.  

Want to make it extra special? These ideas for Valentines Day will help:

• • Write down the things you remember liking about your partner on your first date. They’ll melt when you tell them. 
• • Wear the same outfit. It’ll make the night even more nostalgic. 
• • Find the music you were listening to at the time. Music often reawakens forgotten memories.
