Under £50 Experiences
1. Dine in Style
Celebrate with a special meal that doesn’t break the bank. Enjoy a Three-Course Dining Experience for Two at Prezzo, or treat yourselves to a Pizza or Pasta with Wine for Two at Zizzi. These dining options combine delicious food with a romantic setting—perfect for Valentine’s Day.
2. Indulge in Afternoon Tea
Treat yourselves to a Traditional Afternoon Tea for Two at Patisserie Valerie. Finger sandwiches, cakes, and scones galore—what’s not to love? Perfect after a romantic stroll.
3. Laugh Together
Share some belly laughs with a Comedy Night with Pizza and Drinks for Two At Battersea Barge. A lighthearted evening can be just what you need to relax and connect.
4. Go on an Adventure
If your partner loves thrills, try an Indoor Skydiving experience or go for an exhilarating Segway Adventure for Two. You’ll bond over the excitement and leave with stories to tell.
5. Get Creative
Book an experimental Aromatherapy Candle Making Workshop. You’ll have fun getting hands-on and take home personalised candles to light up relaxing time.
6. Savour a Tasting Experience
How about a Gin Tasting Experience for Two at the famous Bombay Gin Distillery? Discover new flavours, learn about the distillation process, and toast to your love with delicious gin cocktails.
7. Pamper Yourselves
Relax with a luxurious Spa Day with 40-Minute Treatment for Two in London for a much-needed unwinding session. Enjoy the pool, sauna and a relaxing treatment together.
8. Capture the Moment
For something truly memorable, consider a Couple's Photo Shoot Experience. You’ll walk away with stunning pictures to treasure forever.
9. Make Sweet Treats
Sign up for a Truffle Chocolate Making Workshop. You’ll have a deliciously fun time and leave with handmade bites of happiness.
10. Enjoy Breathtaking Views
How about Two Tickets to The View from The Shard? Marvel at London’s skyline as the sun sets, and if you time it right, you might even catch that golden-hour glow for some Instagram-worthy snaps.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about grand gestures or hefty price tags. With a little thought and a sprinkling of creativity, you can plan a day that’s romantic, memorable, and budget-friendly. Whether you opt for a memorable day out, an adventurous experience, or a cosy night in, Buyagift’s under £50 experiences are here to help you celebrate love in style—without sacrificing your savings.
So, ditch the burden on your bank account and embrace the fun of planning something special. Because when it comes down to it, Valentine’s Day isn’t about how much you spend; it’s about showing the person you love just how much they mean to you. And if that involves laughter, chocolate, and a zombie apocalypse… well, even better.
Things to Do at Home
1. Cook Up Some Romance
Forget overpriced set menus and crowded restaurants. Turn your own lounge into a romantic dining destination. Recreate the dish you ordered on your first date or surprise your partner with their favourite meal. (Backup plan: takeaway.)
2. DIY Date Night
Create a cosy atmosphere with handmade decorations, a playlist of “your songs,” and a movie marathon. Just make sure to include a romantic comedy or two to balance out the thrillers.
3. Pamper Each Other
Turn your lounge into a makeshift spa. Light some candles, play relaxing music, and take turns giving each other massages. Bonus: face masks and fluffy robes.
4. Relive Your Love Story
Take a walk down memory lane by revisiting photos and mementos from your relationship. Create a mini scrapbook or digital album to document your favourite memories.
