With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, do you have plans with your special someone this year? Perhaps you’re looking for something a little different this time around? Maybe, you want to remind your significant other that you’re a 1 in a million – a tad unique? If that’s the case, then we’ve got 5 great alternative Valentine’s Day activities for you to give a go.
Get trapped together
If you’ve yet to experience an escape room, then Valentine’s Day could be the perfect time to try one of these out. You’ll find these rooms are now all over the country and they come with a variety of themes and stories. There are those that are all about fun whilst others can get a little tense and stressed.
Not even sure what an escape room is? These rooms see you locked away and having to solve a series of clues to gain your freedom. The perfect bonding experience for this Valentine’s Day?
A night of retro video games
Do you remember as a teenager, or maybe even younger, idling away hours playing your favourite video games. There were games that you may have enjoyed alone, but there were plenty that were better with friends – we’re talking about the arrival of the Wii!
A date night for Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be serious. Why not have a laugh and revisit some of these classics like Rabid Rabbits? If you have that competitive streak with each other, there are the likes of Mario Kart to enjoy too.
A themed meal and film at home
Not wanting to venture out this Valentine’s Day? Why not snuggle down and enjoy a film together all while enjoying a home-cooked meal? You can go one step further, and add a touch of romance, by choosing a dish that perfectly accompanies your film.
Why not try Lady and the Tramp with homemade meatballs and spaghetti? How about the biggest burger you can put together along with a classic such as Pulp Fiction? No matter what your tastes, there are bound to be choices that work for you.
Let’s get physical
We’re talking about working out, obviously! It may be that one, or both of you, are already fans of hitting the gym or working out at home. Perhaps one of you has an exercise class that is a little more challenging than the norm? What better way to bond than to do it together?
Laughing together is said to bring couples closer. No doubt watching your other half fall flat as they attempt to pull off your usual routines will bring a laugh or two to you both.
Seeing what the future holds
A night that could cement your relationship for all eternity, or one that could send you running your separate ways. A night with a psychic could be great fun and it could also give you a great insight into where your relationship is heading.
Whether you fully immerse yourself in the experience or take it all with a pinch of salt, it is certainly an alternative Valentine’s Day experience.
