Valentines day: a day of romance.
unfortunately with romance comes price. Valentines day can be one of the most expensive days of the year for you and your significant other.
this year i want to celebrate without going over the top and spending money on all the commercialised BS. my boyfriend and i have decided to ditch the presents this year and focus on the true meaning of Valentines day.

so with that, i have been brainstorming date ideas for us that wont break the bank and thought i would also share them with you!

1.INDOOR PICNIC
throw down a blanket and throw up some fairy lights in your living room or bedroom and have a romantic picnic inside without the bugs and birds. get out the picnic basket and fill it with your favourite finger foods; sandwiches, dips and cheese, breads, cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries or whatever you fancy.

2. DESSERT DATE
skip dinner entirely and head straight to your favourite dessert place (preferably one with candle light) or make your favourite desserts at home.

3.GAMES NIGHT
head to your favourite arcade or bowling alley and have some friendly competition. these dates are always end in fun and laughter. plus, you can win your valentine a present (if that doesn't scream cute i don't know what does)

4. NETFLIX & TAKE OUT
order your favourite takeouts and stock up on some of your favourite snacks together and chuck on your favourite series or movie on netflix- your night is set (or for those who don't have netflix like me, harry potter will do). basically like going for dinner and to the movies but in the comfort of your own home in your pyjamas.

5. ICECREAM & STARGAZING
head to your nearest look out or even venture a little further with ice-cream or dessert in hand and look at the stars and the city lights.  guaranteed to be romantic!

6. MINI GOLF
mini golf is one of my favourite things to do with my boyfriend, it is always guaranteed to be fun! but if this is something you don't do all the time then research the BEST mini golf in your area and book it in.


i hope these ideas have given you some inspo (especially you bae if you are reading this).
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY LOVERS.
