Unique Date Ideas for the Loved-up Couple:

Are you planning on popping the question? Declaring your feelings? Celebrating an important anniversary, milestone or birthday? Unique date ideas for this sort of occasion will require some forethought and planning. How much money do you want to spend? Is there something your other half has always wanted to do? Who is their favourite artist, band, or musician? What are their favourite hobbies?

Less costly unique date ideas could include a walk or drive through memory lane, revisiting special places you have been to as a couple. Another great idea is a day or weekend at a winery. For the shopper, a weekend spent at a big city famed for retail therapy is an excellent venue. Organize for your date to meet/ see/ view any of their heroes or view any of their idol’s creations, for example, arrange to take them to a viewing of their favourite artist. This could involve as little as a trip to the local gallery or an airfare to Paris to see Monet’s garden in spring.

Extravagant unique date ideas could easily involve airfares and passports. Is there somewhere your other half would love to visit? Have they always wanted to swim with whales or surf in Hawaii? Have they always wanted to drive a Porsche? Are they into other cultures or archaeology?

Unique date ideas require extra planning and thought. Tick something off your other half’s wish list and give them a date they will never forget.
