Finally,
After all the whining I was doing about January taking long to end, it finally did “YEEEEEES”. Anyway, how are you all doing? I hope you are all fine and are having a nice end of the week. I am always happy when I do the last school run on Fridays, you would literally think I won the lottery (I wish) but don’t judge me, this kids do that to me. Okay now that I am done blaming my kids for my sleep deprivation, lets get to the matter at hand. Valentines is here and if you are not as forgetful as I am, then this is the post for you. Dates are always lovely but they don’t have to be expensive, here are 5 romantic valentines date ideas without breaking the bank.
1. SPA DATE
Who doesn’t like been pampered, a spa date is perfect for both you and your partner without having to leave the house, be it you planning or your partner this is a good idea because you are not paying to go somewhere but creating it right at home, all you need is candles, wine and whatever tickles your fancy and that will definitely be a date to remember.
2. SCAVENGER HUNT DATE
The best part about this date is that the scavenger hunt can either be sexy or fun, it’s up to you. You may start from the morning of or any other time of the day and make your other half follow clues and posts around like going down memory lane from the first time you met until finally ending up at home with you for either a dinner or a gift, it’s all in your imagination plus your not spending money for it but just making memories.
3. RECREATE FIRST DATE
I think this is very romantic, recreating your first date be it indoors or outdoors. You can either make it to be exactly how your first date was or close enough to be remembered. All you have to ensure is that your first date ended perfectly and not in a bad way.
4. BREAKFAST IN BED
Now this if for the ones who have time or no little ones waking you up in the early morning. Having a lovely full breakfast is always great but one in bed is even better. Make sure to make it even special by adding something more into it like after breakfast you get to spend the day together or something like that, either way it’s cheaper than being in a hotel for the weekend.
5. COSY NIGHT IN
With the weather being all cold and snowy, a cosy night in may just do the trick and be the best valentines date idea and it’s cheap too. Some snacks, chocolate, drinks and just spending the evening together in peace, that’s what I call perfect. Plus you can decide what you would like it to be either movie night, talking, reading all your choice. Just remember to have some nice cosy throws and pillows to make it even more intimate.

Although my husband and I always say that everyday should be valentine’s day for us (I know, we’re such a cheesy couple lol), this list is full with wonderful ideas for spending the special day! I love the idea of having a spa date, that sounds fun!
I like these ideas a lot! My favourite is the scavenger hunt date – what a clever idea!!
Thank you very much.
Who said that economic ideas are not the best? So far they come from the heart and make Valentine’s day special, that’s great!
Nice list! I tried the spa date idea with my wife a couple years ago (for our anniversary). Worked out well!
It always works.
A Spa date sounds so fun! I would have never thought about this! I need to tell my hubby!!
My budget friendly date is a pint of ice cream and two spoons. We then eat the ice cream in bed.
That’s nice.
I really love the idea of a scavenger hunt! I used to be much more creative with my ideas but as the years go on it seems like I am lucky if I even buy a card… I think I will have to give that a try this year!
I hope it works out.
These are great ideas, I’ve done a scavenger hunt in the past and it was a hit 🙂
Awesome ideas and great to see you got in early! This will come in very handy for V-day hehehe… hopefully MrsFrugalSamurai doesn’t see these 🙂
What a lovely list! We always love scavenger hunts in our family. So much fun! And, much less stress than a night out around valentines.
I definitely needed these ideas! This year is going to be a tough one so I want to be able to do something special for my husband.
cozy night in and spa day sound awesome!

I’m treating myself to a spa day this Valentine’s and I’ve gotten as much products as I need. Afterwards, I’ll have a cosy night indoors.
Recreating my husband and I first date would be so much fun! Although we do love a cosy night in! All great ideas!
Great ideas! I’ve always wanted to do a scavenger hunt!
Those are the sweet and cute ideas for that romantic day. We don’t know yet our plans, but I will pick one of these for sure. After all who doesn’t like to be comfortable at home
Oh wow this post came at the right time because i wasn’t even planning to have a deficit expenditure for the valentine. Thanks so much for this awesome ideas.
These are all great ideas. I think we will be having a cozy night in.
Nice ideas! Love the spa date and breakfast in bed. Definitely keeping this in mind for future use. THanks
I like the idea of re-creating our first date. We only watched a movie. We didn’t even have snacks. Just a movie. And that was the start. We have been together 20 years now. 😀
We always start from somewhere.
Those are such great ideas!! I’d love a spa date followed by a cozy night in!
Lovely post! Gonna be trying a few of these!/
I love these ideas! We’ll probably go out to lunch and then order pizza for dinner. It can be too crowded to go out on Valentine’s Day night.
Yes I totally agree! We don’t have to spend a fortune to have a special Valentines Day. Thumbs up for this suggestions!
Love the ideas! And it’s also nice that my bank account will be the same after Valentines 🙂
Lots of fun ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day, without breaking the bank. I especially like the idea of a “Cozy Night In”.
These are some really great ideas for Valentine’s! I’d really like to have a cosy night in or spa together with my Valentine … too bad I don’t have one! 😉
These are really great Valentine’s Day date ideas. I would love to recreate our first “date.” It involved him picking me up at the airport and then heading out for coffee. It might sound a little weird but it was so darn memorable. 🙂
Lovely ideas! I agree all you need for valentine’s is love and desire to have a romantic moment or two.
Awe these are some sweet ideas. Love this. Thanks for sharing these creative ideas
Breakfast in bed or spa day is something I want to do with my husband. I would be so relaxed after that 🙂
Awesome blog I have ever seen. Thanks for this Wonderful read. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
Cozy night in is my favourite, sounds like something my husband can easily achieve.
All of those sound very nice. I think the scavenger date would be the most fun. And maybe you could throw in the spa and the recreation of the first date as part of the scavenger hunt.
Breakfast in bed sounds good to me because then I do not have to get all dolled up for it. Also it’s is so comfortable and blissful
Very nice ideas! I just love spending time alone at home with my loved one. It’s all I need!
Scavenger Hunt for a Date sounds like fun! Definitely have to try this one out!
Love these ideas. Unfortunately, the place that we had our first date no longer exists. I guess we could recreate our second date though!
Oh no sorry to hear that but recreating it is definitely a great idea. Thank you for stopping by.
Some really great Valentine date ideas. I especially like the scavenger hunt, that sounds like it can be a lot of fun.
