Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples. Well, I mean it mostly is, but as far as I'm concerned, it's for anyone you love, whether that’s your soulmate or your secret-keeping bestie!
This year, why not skip the traditional flowers and chocolates and make the day truly unforgettable? Matching outfits, quirky date ideas, and a little creativity can turn your Valentine’s Day into something a whole lot more magical.
Here’s your ultimate guide to planning a Valentine’s Day full of laughter, adventure, and matching mischief.
10 Crazy, Silly, and Fun Valentine’s Day Date Ideas
1. Go Glamping with Your Bestie
Less hustle and bustle, more zen. Go for a glamorous camping experience. Think fairy lights, cozy bedding, and outdoor vibes without any roughing it. If you've got the gear, why not plan a fun adventure, and add the extra special little touches to take it to a magical new level.
And, if you don't have the skills, sites like Glamping Hub Australia offer unique spots. Don’t forget to pack your daily essentials in the Dynamic Duo Tote Bag!
2. Take a Dance Class
Get your groove on with a salsa, swing, or hip-hop dance class. Bonus points if neither of you can dance (like me!)—it just adds to the fun!
Check out Eventbrite Australia for local classes and other fun tickets. Show off your moves in matching outfits like the Besties Hoodie for extra flair, if the evenings are getting a little cool for you.
3. DIY Chocolate-making workshop
Nothing screams Valentine’s Day like chocolate! Craft your own delicious treats at a class like Chocolate Walking Tours in Melbourne. Pair the experience with the Double Scoop T-Shirt for a sweet-themed twist.
4. Retro Roller-Skating Date
Hit the rink and channel your inner disco diva. Many rinks, like Brisbane’s Skateaway Family Skate Centre, host themed nights for extra fun. Matching outfits? Yes, please (we've got plenty of those to help!).
5. Themed Escape Room Adventure
Solve puzzles and make your escape together. Whether it’s a haunted mansion or a spy mission, escape rooms are a great way to bond. Find options on Escape Room Australia.
6. Outdoor Movie Night
Grab a picnic blanket, some popcorn, and enjoy a classic flick under the stars. Check out Moonlight Cinema for locations in Australia. Bring the Dynamic Duo Tote Bag to carry your snacks and drinks.
7. Paint and Sip Workshop
Unleash your inner artist while enjoying a glass of wine. These workshops are hilarious and creative. If you're anything like me and TERRIBLE at all things drawing, sketching and painting, you'll give everyone a good laugh. Try Cork and Canvas for a fun-filled night.
8. Wildlife Park Adventure
Spend the day feeding kangaroos and cuddling koalas at a local wildlife park like Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane. A uniquely Australian way to celebrate, but pretty fun too. If you're looking for some more options, you also can't beat Australia Zoo.
9. High Tea with a Twist
Dress up and indulge in a decadent high tea at a venue like The Langham Melbourne. Bonus points for matching attire to complete the look.
10. Quirky Photoshoot
Head to a vintage photo studio or set up your own shoot at home. Use props, costumes, and of course, matching outfits like the Besties Hoodie or Double Scoop T-Shirt to capture the day’s silliness.
