94 Things To Do For Valentine's Day
94 Great ideas for what to do this Valentine’s Day.
February the 14th - Valentine’s Day. The one day to remind your partner why you love them, dress up in pinks and reds and do some cheesy lovey dovey stuff. But what will you be doing this Valentine’s Day?
Well, if you’re unsure then you’re in the right place. Here are 94 fantastic things to do for Valentines Day. From indoor camping and scavenger hunts, getting all loved up and cosy to getting Freaky deaky. It’s all here in one place.
Struggling to decide what to do from the list?
Scroll through, write down your favorite ideas, then send this to your partner and have them do the same. If you both pick the same thing. Do that.
You could also randomly pick a number between 1 and 94, scroll to that number and that’s what you’re doing. To make this really fun, right down the numbers 1 to 94, put them in a hat and pick 2 at random. Do those things.
1.Romantic Dinner Date
Cook a special meal together or reserve a table at a favorite restaurant. Going out seems to be the favored option, but let me tell you. A Valentine’s spent at home isn’t just a cheaper alternative to going out.
It can be so much more special. Especially if you make the whole dinner a romantic sceptical. I’m talking putting in the effort. Between you and your partner pick 1 course each. So one of you do the starter and dessert, the other does the drinks and main.
Check out this article for tips and tricks on perfecting your Valentine’s dinner. And if that wasn’t enough, here’s a great idea for serving unlimited prosecco and champagne cocktails which would go along with your Valentine’s dinner perfectly.
You also want to dress the part, so check out these guides;
2. Indoor Picnic
Much like the above but instead of dressing up fancy and sitting at a table, you’ll be going for the cute outfit look (this article is great for inspiration on that) and making the whole thing more casual/cutesy. Set up a cozy picnic with blankets and your favorite snacks indoors. Stick some music on in the background or a romcom.
Don’t forget to decorate. Follow this checklist of tips and tricks on Valentine’s decor.
3. Movie Night
Create a home movie marathon with your favorite films. But don’t just stick on your favorite film and lounge about. This is Valentine’s, make sure you decorate and dress up.
A great way to make this movie night more of an experience is by having a cocktail night and mixing up movie inspired cocktails to go a long with your favorite films.
4. Scavenger Hunt
Plan a scavenger hunt with clues leading to special locations or gifts. We’ve put together an ultimate Valentine’s day bundle that you can find here or below. Included in that is everything you could need for a Valentine’s day at home you won’t forget, one of which is the Scavenger hunt were you have to go get certain items of your partners.
There’s a male and female Scavenger hunt included. Here’s a taste of the Scavenger hunt for him.
5. DIY Spa Night
Pamper yourselves with face masks, bubble baths, and massages. Check out this article for all the tips and tricks on hosting your DIY at home spa night for couples.
6. Stargazing
Head to a quiet spot and enjoy the beauty of the night sky. Now this one only applies if it’s a cloud free night. But if it is, boy is it a romantic one!
7. Cocktail Class
Take a cocktail making class together. There’s loads you could go through. Just search cocktail making classes in your area on google, or if you want to do this at home, check out online ones. Smartblend is a great go to website for all things cocktails and the creator of that website has his own cocktail course which includes a special valentines add on.
You will also find a at home Valentine’s cocktail class in that bundle.
8. Wine Tasting
If cocktail’s aren’t for you, then how about wine? Around Valentine’s day there are usually quite a lot of wine tasting events, do some research into your area and you’ll be sure to find a few.
But once again, if you’re looking to spend Valentines at home. Just buy a few different bottles of wine and host your own. It doesn’t have to be “proper”. Just pop a few bottles, taste them and rank which your favorites are.
The beauty of this is when it’s Christmas and people are asking what you want, you’ll know your favorite type of wine.
9. Visit a Chocolate Factory
Take a tour and indulge in delicious chocolate treats. It might not be like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but chocolate is an aphrodisiac. So it’s perfect for a couples night in.
10. Ice Skating
Enjoy a classic winter activity at a local ice rink. When was the last time you watched a romcom that didn’t include ice skating? It’s about as romantic as an activity get’s short of love making.
11. Live Performance
Attend a live concert, play, or comedy show. There are bound to be loads on Valentine’s day and night. So dress up, pick your favourite, and go catch a show.
12. Create Love Letters
Write heartfelt letters expressing your love for each other. It’s totally cheesy and totally what Valentine’s is about. Once again, in that ultimate bundle of ours, we have a love letter and romantic poem challenge for couples. So do check that out.
13. Create A Customized Playlist
If whatever you’re doing involves staying in, then make a playlist of songs that hold special meaning for both of you. It’s something you can do together, then post Valentine’s day whenever you’re feeling lonely, or whenever you host date night, you can listen to the playlist.
14. Plan a Day Trip
Explore a nearby town or city and discover new places together. Then come back before night time to play some Valentine’s games with each other.
15. Hot Air Balloon Ride
This is a niche one, you have to be quite adventures but experience breath-taking views on a hot air balloon ride. You’ll never forget it. This one (as well as a few others on this list) comes straight from our couples bucket list. So if you want to spend the day ticking of as many bucket list items as possible, then head to that list.
16. Visit an Art Museum
Appreciate art and culture together. It’s a classy activity for classy folk. And you’ll be surprised how romantic this can be!
17. DIY Craft Night
Create handmade crafts or art projects together. The easiest and no experience required version of doing this I recommend is to pop some bottles of sparkling wine, and get painting.
You could paint each other, you could paint your favorite things, HECK, you could even paint ON each other. That’s both romantic and a little bit naughty. Naked body painting then perhaps a few photos of your master pieces before showering together to wash it all off? Talk about hot hot hot…
18. Go-Kart Racing
Have an exhilarating time racing each other. Perfect for the adrenalin seekers!
19. Attend a Dance Class
Learn a dance style like salsa or ballroom together. If you’re terrible at it, it’s a really funny activity to do, and if you’re great at it, then it’s really romantic. So it’s a win win for couples.
20. Visit a Botanical Garden
Enjoy the beauty of nature and exotic plants by visiting some pretty gardens together or taking a long nature walk chatting about sweet nothings and listening to your Valentine’s playlist.
21. Bike Ride

26. Virtual Cooking Date
Cook the same recipe together via video call. This ones great if your unfortunately not together for Valentine’s day.
