As we all know, Valentine's Day is approaching. One of the date factory's favorite days of the whole year, with the day of love starting on February 14 every year. However, you can quickly feel that there are expectations that you have planned what will happen this day. That is why we have collected 14 good ideas for Valentine's Day, big and small, so that you can make your Valentine's Day more special.

1. Save small notes on Valentine's Day

Often it's the little things that count. That's why Valentine's Day ideas like this hit just the right spot! Something as simple as writing cute little messages on a post it and stashing them in different places can mean so much to your partner.

For example, you can write a small message saying that you hope they have a good day and that you love them, and hide it in your jacket pocket or bag.

You can also write a compliment, such as that they look lovely or that you are looking forward to seeing them. You can write just what you want and save them where it suits. It is ONLY the imagination that sets the limits.

We have actually made 180 cute messages that your partner will love, and you can find them right HERE !

2. Take a walk around the capital and see The Copenhagen Light Festival

Valentine's Day ideas can be hard to come up with, but we think this one fits in super well with the beautiful day.

Copenhagen Light Festival is held every year, but this year it will be bigger than ever, as Copenhagen will become "The Capital of World Architecture".

Hold hands and go exploring in our lovely capital and see over 35 different light installations.

It is both really beautiful, cozy and also lovely to go for a walk under the open sky while Copenhagen lights up. Read more about the festival HERE . 

PS remember to wear clothes!

3. Make your partner's favorite meal

Everyone has a right to life or a right that they just adore. Shop for your partner's favorite meal and make it at home as a surprise.

You can possibly also shop for your partner's favorite snack.

Here it is not just about the execution, but the idea behind it. It's just SO sweet, and you also show that you know your partner.

4. Have a candlelit dinner

Nothing creates a more romantic atmosphere than candles. Turn off all the lights in the entire home and light all the candles you can find. You can possibly buy a lot of candles before Valentine's Day.

Order your favorite take away or make a dinner together and enjoy each other's company in the cozy lighting.

5. Surprise your partner with breakfast/brunch

What's better than breakfast in bed?

Here at the date factory, we believe that there is not much better than being woken up with breakfast.

Prepare a breakfast/brunch and spoil your partner with breakfast in bed or with a beautiful breakfast table with all their favorite breakfast items.

It just makes for the best start to the day, and it is said to be the most important meal of the day after all.

Ideas for the good brunch:

- Pancakes or waffles with syrup and berries are often a winner.

- There must of course be a good juice or a good glass of smoothie.

- What's a brunch without eggs and bacon?

6. Prepare the rest of the year's dates

Another one of those Valentine's Day ideas that we love is this one! Although it is not specifically something that you can do on Valentine's Day, it is the gesture behind the fact that you have prepared dates for the rest of the year.

Buy a small jar and fill it with good ideas that your partner can draw from when you lack inspiration for what you can do.

In this way, you also show commitment and that you have thought things through. Who wouldn't want such a cute partner?

7. Buy flowers

This is perhaps the most classic Valentine's idea. But classics can also be good.

Buy some flowers for your partner that they love, or some flowers that evoke memories of your relationship.

For example, it could be the kind of flowers you gave your partner the first time.

8. Go for a walk and experience the romance blossoming on Valentine's Day

This one may be a bit obvious, but if you don't get to do it on weekdays, it can easily create a lot of value for your relationship.

Take your partner out for a walk in nature, hold hands and enjoy each other's company.

You may want to prepare some questions, such as “what is your best memory of me?” or "what made you fall in love with me?" . In this way, you also get to have some conversations that you might not normally have on a daily basis.

9. Decide before Valentine's Day who will do what

Maybe not everyone has the time or energy to plan the wildest romantic day. Therefore, you can brainstorm your own Valentine's Day ideas and decide in advance who will be responsible for what.

For example, one can be responsible for starters and entertainment and the other for main course and dessert.

In this way, you also ensure that one does not feel pressured to manage everything themselves, and then it is also a bit exciting to find out what the other has planned.

10. Plan a home theater date

It might sound a little boring or a little too "normal" for a date. But maybe you have a movie you've been wanting to see for SO long, but just haven't gotten around to seeing it yet.

Choose one or more films to watch, put on cozy clothes and find the popcorn bowl. A good idea is also to buy your partner's favorite snacks and drinks.

Valentine's Day ideas don't have to be difficult or expensive!

Snacks, a good movie and the favorite person. There is hardly a better cocktail!

11. Pizza night on the floor

Who doesn't love pizza?

We will definitely do that!

Place rugs, pillows and duvets on the floor in the living room or wherever there is space. Create a cozy atmosphere with music and candles and order your favorite pizzas.

When you don't have to shop and cook, it just ensures that you really have time to enjoy each other.

Although it sounds simple, the setting just makes it a little more special, and you can really cuddle and lie close to the floor.

12. Cook together

Shop around to cook something together that neither of you have tried before.

It's challenging, but also cozy and fun to be away together for a bit.

It can, for example, be homemade ravioli, sushi or a whole third dish that you normally just buy ready-made.

When the home-cooked meal is ready, you can of course prepare for a romantic dinner and enjoy the good food. Bon appetit!

13. Make your partner a basket with all their favorite things

Mix up a basket for your partner with all their favorite things.

It can be edible, their favorite flower, favorite cream, etc. As long as it's just things your partner likes, they will probably be very happy with the basket. And maybe you get an extra kiss.

14. Buy a present before Valentine's Day

This one might go without saying, but it's always nice to get a gift. It can be a piece of jewellery, a shirt, concert tickets or something completely different.

Buy something for your partner that you know they have wanted for a long time. They may not have had the money or time to buy it themselves.

It's a sweet thought, and it's extra nice to get a gift that you didn't expect to get.
