1. Gift an experience
Gift your loved one with an experience – like a yoga class, photography course, or horseback ride. Researchers have found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things.
2. Valentine's Day walk
The UK is full of stunning scenery for your date. Top picks for a memorable stroll include: Moel Famau; North Wales, Tarn Hows; Lake District, Hadrian’s Wall; Northumberland, Lizard Peninsula Coastal Walk; Cornwall and Hampstead Heath; London.
Don't forget about your local area, there may be loads of lovely walks around your home too.
3. Romantic dinner
Can you bake a cake or cook your Valentine their favourite meal? Minimise your plastic-packaging at the supermarket and then get creative in the kitchen.
4. Night at the movies
It’s an old-time classic for date night, but still one of the best!
5. Send a personalised music playlist
This is easy to do using digital channels like Spotify and YouTube. It is thoughtful and will likely be appreciated more than a shop-bought CD!
