7 Valentine’s Day Ideas For Couples That Totally Hate Valentine’s Day
There are two kinds of couples in the world.
Those that love Valentine’s Day – the surprise trips away, puppies, chocolates and more.
And those that dislike everything about it – the commercial aspect, the pressure to do something romantic and then the inevitable disappointment and whining if you don’t.
And if you are amongst the latter, this list is for you.
Here are 7 things for every couple who is looking for something less contrived and formulaic
1. Organise a cinema night
Make it a family affair or invite other couples – AND SINGLE FRIENDS – to a movie night.
Go for a classic rom-com you can find or go for an anti-Valentine’s day theme with a gory slasher.
Yknow, a date night for the masses.
2. Head out to a karaoke bar and let your hair down
Get on the mic!
3. Go skydiving (or something equally terrifying)
Free falling from the sky at a great distance doesn’t sound particularly romantic, but sharing a once-in-a-lifetime experience is pretty unique.
4. Spa day for extra brownie points
Maximum points, minimum effort.
5. Organise a BIG group meal with couples and singles
Try to organise a large dinner with all your friends including your single friends.
There’s no greater feeling for single friends to have awesome plans on Valentine’s Day, and other VD-hating couples can rejoice in a fun evening with no pressure.
6. Cook together
Instead of going out, how about spending quality time preparing a meal together?
Tiny gift, optional.
7. Get each other cards but like not the cheesy lovey-dovey kinds
If neither of you is into the cliched romantic stuff, find (or make) some really unusual and funny card.
