Represent eras of your relationships
Let’s assume you’re dating for three years. During the first year, your partner used to take you to museum dates; during the second year, both of you went to the gym, and now you're really into a TV series and watch it every night. These shared experiences represent different phases of your relationship, and you can incorporate them into your Valentine’s Day. It’s simple: get a ticket to a local museum, a monthly gym plan to show you still care about staying healthy together, and merch with their favourite character from the show you’re into.
By using elements of your past and present, you create a meaningful gift that shows thoughtfulness. We’re sure that your partner will be touched by this Valentine’s Day idea.
Personalised playlist/Pinterest board/list of recommendations
Everyone loves it when others send them a song or a picture saying, "It made me think of you.” We suggest you upgrade this and prepare a whole playlist that you think gives off the vibes of your partner. You can change it to a Pinterest board or a movie list, but you get the main idea. It's one of the cheap Valentine's Day ideas that will be remembered for a long time. Save your money and impress — 2 in 1!
A surprise trip to the nearest city
Travelling together is always romantic, so it’s a perfect gift from every point of view. But since it’s a last-minute idea, going to another country is hardly possible. Instead, take advantage of your location and explore nearby places to go for Valentine’s Day. A trip to a charming city you haven’t seen before, a stay in a cosy house in the forest, or even a spontaneous camping trip can be a great way to celebrate. Search a little bit and enjoy the date night with your loved one.

Scavenger hunt
Create a quick scavenger hunt around your home, with little notes or gifts at each stop. It’s a fun date idea to make them feel special, especially if you don’t have much time!
You can hide candies, love letters, their favourite drinks — everything will count, because you put your affection and care into the presents. The little surprises along the way will bring excitement and joy, turning a simple evening into a treasure hunt of love. You could even make the hunt more personal by incorporating inside jokes or references to moments you've shared.
If they’re far away
Celebrating Valentine's Day is more complicated but not impossible for those in a long-distance relationship. Explore delivery options, ask your friends to help with the surprise or create a digital Valentine’s card.
One more way to make Valentine's Day special is to send fast and secure transfers with Profee. It will take several minutes, and the results will be excellent: your partner can treat themselves and organise a cute self-date.
