Drive-In Movie

Upgrade your regular dinner and a movie - think popcorn, choc-tops and comfy clothes! When deciding between date ideas for V Day, the drive-in movie is a classic for a reason. A combination of romantic and relaxed, pack your car with pillows and blankets for a cosy evening watching the latest rom-com!

  You should wear something warm and comfortable to the drive-ins. The Khoko Collection Teddy Quarter Zip Soft Pink or the Lotto Men's Urban French Terry Sweat are perfect for this date night.

Day Hike

Head to your local hiking track or make a day of it and drive somewhere more remote. Add a little romance by waking up early to watch the sun as it rises over the treetops!

• What to wear?

  For simple Valentine's Day outfits, activewear is your best friend! Try the LMA Active Women's Core Blockout 7/8 Leggings Black or the Slatters Trek Suede Lace Up Hiking Boots Grey.

Breakfast in Bed

Time poor this Valentine's Day but still want to think of cute Valentine's date ideas? Don't sleep on the simple, yet extremely sweet breakfast in bed. Stay in your pjs under the covers and enjoy scrambled eggs, pancakes and freshly squeezed orange juice!

• What to wear?

  For this cosy date, why not treat yourself to a new pair of pyjamas, such as the Sash & Rose Bamboo Short PJ Set Blue or the Nic Morris Men's Knit Crew Tee & Short Pyjama Set Blue Check.

Picnic in the Park

If the weather allows, then a picnic in the park is one of many fun Valentine's date ideas. Pack a picnic blanket, a charcuterie board and your favourite dips. End the day renting bikes and riding through your favourite part of town.

• What to wear?

  Choose a dreamy summer outfit, such as the Jane Lamerton Print Poplin Midi Skirt Mono Ikat Print paired with the Just Bee Women's Casini Lace Up With Metallic Detail Black, or even a stylish pair of jeans, like the Jeans Ltd Men's Slim Fit Stretch Stonewash Denim Jeans Stone.

Winery

When deciding on date ideas for Valentine's Day, it might be time to splurge on yourselves and head out to a winery - or perhaps a brewery depending on your tastes! You can organise a sample tasting menu or even a lunch out in the sun. Make a weekend of it and stay in a local bed and breakfast too.

• What to wear?

  Accessorise your winery look and wear the Khoko Collection Essential Ribbon Hat Black, the Khoko Collection Women's Wrapped Pearl Headband or the Bronson Men's Fedora Stone.

Dinner at Home

There's nothing quite like a romantic evening together at home, enjoying a meal and even a cheeky cocktail. Get creative with your cooking - you could try to recreate some of your restaurant favourites or even the meal you ate on your first date!

• What to wear?

  A night in at home doesn't mean you can't choose cute outfits for Valentine's Day. The Leona Edmiston Ruby Women's Wrap Front Spot Dress Spot Print offers a flattering silhouette, while the Bronson Casual Men's Balmain Cotton Jersey Short Sleeve Polo White is cut to accentuate your shape.

Paint and Sip

Casual and a lot of fun, get your hands dirty with a painting class. Perfect for any experience level, paint the night away with your partner while you enjoy a glass of bubbly.

• What to wear?

  If you've chosen classy Valentine's Day outfits, perhaps painting might be a bit intimidating - be prepared with the S&N By Miguel Maestre Chef Apron!
