Picnic: With the weather warming up, now is the perfect time to take your significant other on a Pinterest-worthy picnic in the great outdoors. What could be more romantic than sitting side-by-side with your significant other, snacking on delectable delicacies, and admiring the sunrise or sunset while playing board games? If going out is not an option, transform your living room or bedroom into a picnic spot by constructing a tent out of bed sheets, eating snacks, and watching a movie.
Jalebi Baby: Valentine’s Day cafe dates are overdone and packed. Instead, we recommend taking your significant other to your favourite sweet shop and devouring delicious Jalebis and Samosa, exactly as our parents did in the past. You can channel your inner Siddharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani by riding rickshaws through the byways of your galli.
A purrfect-pawsome date: Pets can detect the goodness in humans better than humans can, so why not bring your pet along? Switch things up with a pet-friendly restaurant/café or, even better, a dog park – nothing will put your relationship through the ringer like a pack of rowdy canines. These are also wonderful options if you or your bae don’t want to leave their animal best friend at home on V- Day. Your pet may also find a furry companion. After all, why should hoomans have all the fun?
Handcrafted with love: Handmade gifts are one-of-a-kind, and who doesn’t appreciate a specially curated, one-of-a-kind item? For your next date, we recommend attending a pottery class, where you may mark the occasion with a beautiful handmade bowl, dish, planter, or anything else you like. You will leave with dirty hands and a one-of-a-kind souvenir that will always recall you of this memorable day.
Create a playlist as a group: There is no better way to show your love than through music. For this date idea, we shall recall our school days when we created mix tapes. Thanks to music streaming sites, creating a playlist is now as simple as clicking a button. You may effortlessly locate some of the most beautiful love songs and put them to a customised playlist for your significant other. Surprise them on a romantic drive by playing their favourite songs that remind you of your love story.
Food trip with your culinary partner: It is said that the road to a person’s heart is through their stomach; thus, put this theory to the test by taking them on the ultimate cuisine tour of your city. Why limit yourself to one restaurant when you can sample so many? By the end of the evening, you will undoubtedly be walking home with a whole heart and stomach and probably a favourite place for your next date.
