Hobby class to long drive, 10 unique date ideas to celebrate Valentine’s Day

If you want to plan a special date this Valentine's Day, and are looking for out-of-the-box ways to celebrate your bond, here are a few date ideas you can explore

Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day approaches, and couples are busy curating the perfect way to celebrate their bond on this day.

While going for a dinner date is a special way to bring in the day, if you want to move beyond that and are looking for unique experiences to make the celebration memorable, here are some ideas you can explore.

Attend a hobby class together: Whether it is dancing, cooking, pottery or something else, going for a workshop or a meaningful learning experience that reflects shared interests can make the day special.

Re-create your first date: What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than to take a trip down memory lane and celebrate the journey of your bond? Relive the magic of your first date by recreating that experience. You can also choose to recreate your most memorable date, instead of the first one.

Enjoy stargazing: Want to plan a simple and magical date? Stare into the sky together and experience tranquility amidst the stars. Lay out a blanket, prepare snacks and enjoy this romantic experience.

Go for a long drive: It is rightly said, “The journey is more special than the destination.” Head out for a long drive, play your favourite songs and cherish your bond through meaningful conversations.

Throw a small party: Who said Valentine’s Day is only reserved for intimate dates? If you want to expand the celebration, throw a small theme party and enjoy fun games with your partner, friends or family.

Plan a spa day: In the rush of everyday life, we often forget to take care of ourselves. Pamper yourself and your partner with a thoughtful spa day.

Go for adventure activities together: If both you and your partner are adventure enthusiasts, plan to participate in some thrilling activities like rock climbing and go carting, or games like laser tag and paintball.

Stay at home: Forget all fancy plans, and opt for meaningful experiences at home like cooking together, listening to your favourite music, playing a fun game, watching a movie, having conversations, crafting something together, etc.

Celebrate memories: If you want to build a more meaningful connection with your partner, you can plan a date wherein one person introduces the other to places that held special meaning to them as a child – school, markets, favourite restaurant, etc. (that is if you are in the same city you grew up in). Make a fun day out of it, and explore the city together in the process. 

Plan a staycation/vacation: Escape the hustle of everyday life with a romantic getaway. Pack your bags, explore your favourite places and in the process, learn more about each other.
