Valentines Day Gift Ideas

Valentines Day Date Ideas


February 14, the romance capital of the year, and also the most loved and hated day of the year. Of course this day I'm speaking of is Valentines day (also known as single awareness day :) ). Loved by those who have someone to celebrate with and have their whole day planned out, and hated, or ignored, by the single people of the world and those who do have a love in their life, but don't have a clue as what to do. Here, we will try and give you what we believe to be some fun and awesome date ideas, we'll also through in some romantic gift ideas as well!



Well, if you fall into this last category, and have absolutely no idea what to do on valentines day, you have come to the right place. Here we will be listing a list of creative date ideas, along with some date ideas that cost little to nothing. And of course if you are one of the few, very few that is, that already has your day planned out, good for you. Hopefully this article will just give you some great ideas to make your day even better. So read on, and don't fear, your romantic hero is here!



Cheap, But Awesome, Date Ideas:

Date Idea #1 - Picnic At The Park
I know what your thinking. This time of year, it's too cold to be having dinner outside. So this idea is only for you people living in paradise, to me that is any place it doesn't snow :). But seriously, this can be great way to kick off a romantic evening, and it doesn't take a whole lot of planning or money, which makes it my kind of date. All you need, a blanket, a meal (home cooked or for those of you who have a hard time in the kitchen, you can pick up a nice home cooked meal from Boston Market for a reasonable price), maybe some candles to set the mood ;), and if there is a pond at your park, bring along some cheap bread and feed the ducks. After that, just go on a walk and whisper sweet nothings into his/her ear :) Just kidding with that sweet nothings bit, but a walk is always a good way to help your meal settle.

Date Idea #2 - Go on a romantic hike
What the heck is a romantic hike? Well, its a hike taken on valentines day :). Hikes are a good way to get outside and have fun at the same time, which makes for a great date idea. If you live in a warmer climate, or at least in a place where it doesn't get too cold at night, bring along a light blanket and some flashlights so you can stop at gaze at the stars. And remember, its not always about gifts and presents. This date idea is perfect if you cant come up with any romantic gift ideas. If you're someplace in the country, far enough from city lights, watching the stars can be very romantic. And if you're in a secluded enough area....

Date Idea #3 - Making a meal together, romantically
If you haven't figured it out by now, I consider any sort of date idea that you do on valentines day to be romantic. So, how do you put a romantic spin on something that is typically a chore? Well, spice it up of course. Try doing it naked....just kidding. Please do not try doing it this way, for the sake of your loved one :). Besides, you can save that part for later. I would suggest trying something new, in the kitchen. Taking on a new challenge together can be very unifying, and also leaves room for some good laughs. And who knows, maybe you'll end up learning something new. And remember, don't forget to leave room for dessert, if you know what I mean :)


These are just a few of some romantic date ideas that are good for valentines day. And quite frankly, good for any day.
