Whether the thought of Valentines Day fills you with joy or with dread, don’t be fooled into thinking that February 14th has to cost a small fortune to be special.
The whole point of Valentines Day is to do something special with the one you love and show them that you care. If you are worried that the modern culture has spoilt the day with tacky cards and shop displays, take things back to basics and show your significant other how much they mean to you with a well thought out date.
- Plan a dream trip together.
Planning a holiday is always fun, whether it’s an elaborate, expensive holiday or a camping trip on the coast, make it as fun as possible by getting brochures from the travel agents or making a vision board. You’ll get to know lots about each other in the process.
- Get a couples massage
This could be heading to a spa, a Chinese masseuse at the market or even just getting out the coconut oil and spending some quality time together at home.
- Pack a picnic basket and head to the park.
Whether you make a day of it or take the candles and enjoy a twilight date. A picnic together is a great opportunity to enjoy each other’s company over a bottle of wine and your favourite foods. There are plenty of spots to take your pick from all over Brisbane.
- Sunset Lookout
Drive to a lookout point and watch the sun go down together. For extra romance points, have their favourite songs playing in the car
- A romantic meal at home
Surprise your loved one by lighting lots of candles, having some soft music playing in the background and cooking their favourite meal.
