We hear about the usual date spots such as fancy restaurants or extravagant theatres, but why not consider something a little different this year? Mix it up and do something new. The opportunities for exciting, memorable Valentine's Day dates are endless. Put some fun and effort into your plans and you'll have a memorable Valentine's Day that you won't forget any time soon.
Here are 5 Unique Date Ideas for a memorable Valentine's Day:
1. Picnic outside with your favourite food & treats.
Make a date out of this by packing it all up and going somewhere new for the picnic. Picnics are so much fun, and they can be romantic if you do it right—even if it's just eating in the car on a cold winter night! The best part about this idea is that it doesn't have to cost much money at all. Pack up a basket full of delicious snacks and drinks, light some candles or put on some music before heading out into the great outdoors. You could even bring along some board games or cards if you want even more fun!

2. Explore your creative side with your partner, with an evening of painting.
Grab one or two of our paint by number kits and let your artistic sides shine! Not only will you both have fun and create something beautiful together, you'll be able to bond over your new artistic skills, and be left with a colourful memento of your special evening. Who knows, you two might be the next Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera in the making!
3. Get lost together on a day trip to somewhere neither of you have been before.
Whether it's exploring the city or going on an adventure in nature, this is a great way to get out there, see some sights, and spend quality time together in an unfamiliar space which can be really romantic! Pack a bag with snacks and drinks for the road, and head off with one simple goal - discover somewhere new! Bonus date - combine this with a picnic and you'll be sure to have a delightful time!
4. Create your own signature cocktail together.
If you're feeling adventurous and want to spice things up, why not try making your own signature cocktail? You'll learn a lot about each other as each person takes turns adding ingredients in the right order until they find their perfect drink. Might we add, our gold foil illustrated
glass tumblers make the perfect cocktail holder and REALLY set a romantic mood! Who knows, you could end up making the ultimate love potion!
5. Visit your local flower farm or market and assemble your own floral arrangement.
Try to head out early in the morning as this is the best time to get the freshest flowers before the sell out, markets can get quite busy after 8am! Once you and your partner choose your perfect bunch, then comes the creative part! Take them home and try styling them in vases, with clean water to keep them looking fresh for days after Valentine's Day has passed, and decorate your styled flower creations throughout your home! Then, each time you pass by them you'll be reminded of your Valentine, cute!
