VALENTINES DAY 2025 - BEST AND WORST DATE IDEAS

Hey it's me, Sam - the live chat girl. We are going to be talking about how you can either eattttt this Vday UP or throw it up. We will be unpacking the not-so-romantic dates and the hottest ideas EVA. Whilst we have completed our own research, please note we have absolutely put our own personal bias on these ideas & in no way are we Yucking anyone’s Yum, we are all just human with our own silly opinion, but as you all know we are always down for a yap, so if you disagree with us – please, shed some light.

WORST DATE IDEAS EVA:

The No date: yep, because they forgot its V day. Put them in the bin.

Topless bar/strippers: Please refrain from being hot in your jocks around me, especially if I am B cup. Also goes hand in hand with the strippers, why not pay me the same amount of dough for me to put on show? (upon reflection, this might be the best Valentine’s day gift ever, rain it in baby, rain. It. In)

Movies: hear me out, if I am in a long long long term relationship and I want some QT but I absolutely cannot be bothered with the chat – take me to the movies. But if I am in a fresh relo and this man takes me to the MOVIES for Valentines Day, I am questioning if you even like me. I am not spending my date communicating more with my internal monologue.

Ghost tour: Get that ghost radar out of my personal space and DO NOT squeal higher than me when you get scared. Tbh this experience would make me laugh, but I’ll be low key fighting for my life. Remember in sex in the city when Charlotte is with that guy Stephan and theres a mouse in the kitchen? Yeah IYKYK. Too many risks here, don’t need old mate Jimmy latching onto me when I leave the haunted mental asylum.

Airport lookout: if they take you to the airport lookout for your first Valentines day, second valentines day, or third (if you make it by then). Dump them. They are wearing dior sauvage and here for a good time, not a long time.

Sip & paint: Nothing hurts me more than an overpriced activity with a painting I will probably throw in the bin. Nothing against those who host, everything against me and my ability to paint and be craftsy. Respectfully where’s Simon Cowell’s X button, it’s a no from me.

THE HOTTTTTEST DATE IDEAS:

The most expensive restaurant: clearly joking here (am i haha), just take me out on a niceeeeeee date, with nice food, have a bouquet from HB in your hand, we can dress up, feel sexy and get hot in our jocks. That’s enough.

Botanical gardens: Get the cheese platter out, feed me grapes and let’s go for a walk afterwards. Hand in hand. Soooo romantic.

Dinner @ home: all jokes aside, this is the way to my heart. Nothing screams I LOVE YOU like a home cooked meal made from your partner, as much as we would love everything made from scratch, we can also appreciate a partner who also likes to save time. So, any at-home-dinner range is perfect – tbh, we have it here. In our V-day collection. Yes, that’s right – check it out.

Puzzle and wine (or just wine): Get drunk, be flirty and kiss lots. Nothing is more sentimental than spilling your love guts out over a bottle of red. Frank Sinatra playing in the background, specifically on vinyl – and just relax into your summer night with your lover. Love is in the AIR.

Run, walk, talk, HYROX: Personally, this one isn’t for me – HOWEVER- My hot boss loz can’t sit still, so this one is for her. Any form of exercising is right up this women’s alley, at this point – hyrox training would be her ideal, dream Valentines date. Someone must match this hotties freak.

Escape rooms: This is always fun, no matter the difficultly level – that was a lie. Freshies, if you guys want to test your relationship off the bat, then this one is for you. Long term lovers, if you both are strategic and good at problem solving, then this one is for you. This is fun, light-hearted, and adrenaline is sexy.

So, whether you’re setting the bar high with a dreamy date or keeping it chill with something a little more relaxed, the key is knowing what feels right for you and your partner. Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love, connection, and having a good time—so don’t stress if your date isn’t "perfect" by anyone else’s standards. Trust your vibe, and make it a day to remember for all the right reasons. Whatever you choose, just keep it real, and maybe save the ghost tours for another time!

Lots of love,
Samantha x
