The Christmas jingles have barely stopped playing in the shops when they bust out the red hearts, boxes and boxes of chocolate and fluffy teddy bears. Yep, it’s that time of year, and whether you like it or not, you’ll be surrounded by everything mushy and cushy and lovey-dovey.

Want to do something special but you’re not exactly sure what you’re going to do for your significant other come 14 February? Have a look at these date night ideas for couples:

 

 

- Have a movie night in the living room or backyard and make it extra special by building a fort, putting up some fairy lights, etc.

 

 

- Take them out to a delicious dinner and a movie or show.

 

 

- Cook a romantic candlelit dinner you know they’ll love.

 

 

- Surprise them with breakfast in bed with a few flowers from the garden. Trust us, it’s always a winner.

 

 

- Have a picnic in a nearby park or even your own backyard. Bring some blankets and scatter a pillow or two to make it a cosy affair.

 

 

- Treat them to a day of doing something they love. We know you might not really like it, but you’re doing it for them.

 

 

- Grab an ice cream and drive to a special spot to watch the sunset.
