Five Brilliant Valentine’s Date Ideas
From cosying up at home to Galentine’s nights out
Start planning your celebrations together for Valentine’s Day on Friday 14 February with our thoughtful and romantic guide.
Go stay-at-home cosy with matching pyjamas, prosecco and candles; hang out with your best friends for shopping, food and movies; do something totally different or simply get coffee (or bubble tea) on a winter’s afternoon.
Whatever your mood, Meadowhall has you covered…
1. Conjure up a romantic night in
Create your own at-home spa with Lush’s Love Letter bath bomb, £4 (a colour-changing bath bomb with hydrating coconut milk for a creamy gentle soak, rich in olibanum and geranium oil) and indulgent Posh Chocolate Shower Gel, £9.
Light up dreamy candles from Rituals’ new The Soulful Collection in Love, Space NK and Flannels (Diptyque Roses and Jo Malone’s Pomegranate Noir are perfect for creating a luxe and romantic atmosphere).
For pretty Instagram-friendly tablewares and decorations, Next has gorgeous cherry and heart decorated homewares.
Cosy up together in matching pyjamas (try Primark for you both or Victoria’s Secret for her) and dine in with Marks & Spencer’s incredible menu featuring starter, main, side, dessert and prosecco. Choose from pizzas, Gastropub x Tom Kerridge and slow-cooked ribs galore.
Build some added bonus points with breakfast in bed from Bakers & Baristas and morning coffee served in cute love heart mugs from Flying Tiger Copenhagen.
Most-wanted Valentine’s gift ideas for nights in
Flowers, Krispy Kreme and Hotel Chocolat gift boxes, jewellery especially necklaces and bracelets (see Pandora’s cute lobster charm too), velvet slippers, silk pillowcase, Ugg Scuff slippers for men, neck and back massagers and cashmere beanies.
Head to L’Occitane, Lindt, Lush, Pandora, Warren James, schuh, Breitling, Michael Kors, Swarovski, Argos and Frasers.
2. Plan the ultimate Galentine’s day or night out
Palentine’s or Galentine’s, it’s time to celebrate the most important loves of all: your friends. Come together for a brilliant time to remember… Start your day with manis and pedis at Townhouse (there’s special group offers for three or more people including prosecco) then head out for food on the go at Five Guys and Nandos.
For a proper sitdown feast together, go for pizza, pasta and dough balls at Pizza Express and Zizzi, Thai buffet and spicy margaritas at Thaikhun, sushi at Yo! and bottomless brunches and tapas at Las Iguanas. Or share burgers, fries or mezze at Frankie & Benny’s, TGI Fridays and The Real Greek.
Hit the shops together for £10 Secret Palentine’s gifts at Lush, Flying Tiger Copenhagen, Boots, Urban Outfitters, H&M and Next’s pick and mix beauty.
Finish off with a must-do trip to Vue to see Valentine’s biggest film releases: Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy and Captain America: Brave New World – both out on the 14 February.
3. Go for cocktails, prosecco and the food of love
Go elegant this Valentine’s with cocktails and champagne and delicious desserts. Sienna Kitchen & Bar (handily located in the ground floor of Flannels for LoveShackFancy dresses, Dora Larsen Lingerie, Moncler and Gucci gift shopping) select from the range of sweet treats including macarons, basque cheesecake and red velvet cake.
Caffe Massarella is the place for cocktails with delicious bellini, authentically Venetian Aperol spritzes and prosecco. Dive into antipasti to share, pasta, risotto, pollo alla milanese and more.
Caffe Rizzoli is famous for its carefully sourced prosecco from family-run vineyards in Italy with the finest Italian cheeses served with Sardinian flatbread, honey, grapes and figs; Tuscan poached salmon and the house beef burger.
Go gift shopping together at Space NK, Flannels, Apple, Fraser Hart, Frasers, Goldsmiths, Gucci Boutique, Mango, Omega and Tommy Hilfiger.
4. Keep it laid-back with an afternoon meet-up
Want to keep things chilled? Then meet up for sweet treats and bubble tea before going for a wander. Choose from bubble teas at Bubble Citea, craft coffee at Cawa, deep hot chocolates at Hotel Chocolat, gelato and sorbets at Snowflake Gelato and OTT shakes at The Shake Lab.
Pick up food to go at Jollibee, Krispy Kreme and Slim Chickens and take home some pick’n’mix from Sweet Tradition then have a wander round Urban Outfitters, Menkind (there’s plenty to play with) or head to Fun Station for arcade games, immersive VR and prizes.
Good gift ideas: Jellycat at It’s So Fluffy and Waterstones has a super-cute Valentine’s range while Hotel Chocolat’s A Dozen Dapper Dogs for £9.95 are adorable. Don’t miss Costa Coffee’s new iced gingerbread biscuits with the words ‘hug me’ and ‘love’.
5. Quirky date ideas for something different
Prefer to do something utterly original this Valentine’s? Then make it one to remember with a brilliantly fun date at Clubhouse (wings, cocktails, beers, mini golf, bowling and VR darts).
Go head to head at Fun Station to win prizes with dance offs and VR gaming or sign up for the open jump at Jump Inc which includes space for adults (plus they have discounts for students, Blue Light card holders and armed forces). Or go rock climbing together at Rock Up (Thursdays are lights out and music up).
Head out to one of Meadowhall’s restaurants for Valentine’s offers including Frankie & Benny’s: pre-book before 10 February and you’ll get a free Aperol or Hugo Spritz.
Looking for gifts to thrill active types? There’s Sweaty Betty, Castore and Dr Martens (which has a fun limited edition Valentine’s heart-shaped bags and pink trim platforms) or take home some Lego including their iconic Love statue and Botanicals Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet.
Finally – get the personal touch with presents from independent stores such as Jasmine Tree Gifts, Denby, Curated Makers and Castle Fine Art. Now that’s amore.
