“Spending uninterrupted time together is what matters to me. We could go for a run, followed by a nice massage, then dress up for a nice dinner – that would be a perfect Valentine’s Day for me.”

“I prefer staying in and making my partner a home-cooked meal – either steak or lasagna, his two favourites. Then we can make a pillow fort in our living room and watch a movie together for a fun and cosy date night.”

“We have a rule of putting our phones away for the day (no social media, no distractions, to fully enjoy each other’s company) and going on a trip. Anything from a short road trip or a good hike during the day, and ending the night with dinner out – we tend to do omakase every year!”

“I tend to stay in to avoid the crowds. Usually my husband puts on his chef’s hat and whips up something we call a “destination three-course meal”. One year we made Hawaiian short ribs, poke bowl and piña colada, and it really did feel like we were travelling to somewhere tropical!”

“We usually put some effort into creating memories. It can be visiting an art exhibition, taking a half-day escape from the city or re-creating any special dates we had previously. I recommend doing your research before going anywhere – there have been times we went somewhere that was so crowded it made our experience not so romantic after all!”
