Remake of your first date
This one is for the nostalgic ones who have been together for a long time and seek to go back in the past for the span of a night. While it may seem like a cheesy idea for a date, it is actually a thoughtful experience that you will go through with your partner. It is always nice to sit back and reflect on everything that has happened, and all the joy you had ever since the two of you got together. If the two of you met elsewhere, why not plan a trip back there to rewind great memories?
DIY gift, cook for your other person his/her favorite dish
Some people rather have a thoughtful gift than a very expensive one. Making a gift yourself has the advantage to foster your creativity and really aim for something that you will be sure (s)he enjoys. After all, it is always nice to see your lover make an effort and spend time on a gift that will truly be unique to your eyes.
If your other half is a foodie, you can also attempt to cook something that you know (s)he really likes to surprise and please your partner. For this to go well, do not hesitate to try your recipe a few days before to not take any risks!
Racing Date
Booking a high sensation experience for a valentine’s date can be a very fun and accelerating moment to share! Drive a few laps around a real circuit in a sports car for an intense and really unique feeling of speed. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and even F2 cars, pick the one you prefer to zoom on the circuit! This moment can be especially special if you know that your other half is passionate about cars or racing in general, and has never had the opportunity to race himself/herself.
