Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, but you’ve been super busy “revising” at your Liverpool student accommodation and completely forgot to arrange Valentine’s plans for you and your other half?
If this is you, we’ve got your back with some last-minute Valentine’s Day date activity ideas that are perfect for students.
Read on to see how the most romantic day of the year can be rescued!
Top last-minute Valentine’s Day ideas in Liverpool
Whether revision, deadlines, a part-time job, or a hectic social life have got in the way, you may feel you’ve let your partner down by failing to plan a romantic and fun date for Valentine’s Day.
But never fear, we’re here to let you know it’s never too late to sort out a cute date activity for your special one in Liverpool. Let’s take a look at everything you can plan while time isn’t on your side:
1. Plan a home-cooked dinner date
A good old-fashioned homemade dinner is the key to any heart as it shows care, thought and well, who doesn’t like being cooked for!?
Thankfully, your CARO student accommodation in Liverpool has all the kitchen appliances you need to prepare a tasty meal for two – all you need to buy is the ingredients.
You could play it simple with a student-friendly pasta dish and a romantic dessert to finish, such as chocolate-dipped strawberries. Don’t forget the drinks, too!
But, if you simply can’t cook to save your life and don’t want to serve an inedible dinner, you could always stretch to a dine-in for two from M&S or a similar deal from another supermarket.
2. Arrange a movie marathon night
Struggling big time for plans? A simple way to make the 14th special is with a cute film night at your student accommodation in Liverpool.
All you need is microwave popcorn, drinks and a selection of rom-coms you love to hate!
Take your pick between the classics, such as When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman and He’s Just Not That Into You. Or, check Netflix for their latest rom-com drops! Your gf or bf may even have an all-time favourite cheesy film, so be sure to add that to the list!
To create a romantic ambience, switch on any fairy lights or LED candles and turn off your phones to experience that real cinema feeling.
3. Head on down to a games room/arcade
While you may have left it a little too late to book an event like bowling (although you could always double-check), amusement centres such as Roxy Ballroom and Boom Battle Bar feature plenty of arcade games and activities that are pay-on-the-day.
Pool tables, skeeball and basketball arcade machines are just a few examples, among many more! You could even try to win your loved one a gift from the grab machine where many have failed!
4. Have a dessert date
Unlike restaurants, which tend to get fully booked on and around Valentine’s Day, you could always try your luck at a dessert cafe instead, such as Kaspa’s or Heavenly Desserts!
These places are bound to be busy on the day of love, but given customers aren’t waiting for three-course meals, tables tend to free up quickly.
So, even if it is a spontaneous outing, you and your partner should be able to enjoy the various sweet treats on offer, such as deluxe milkshakes, topped waffles and loaded crepes.
5. Check to see cinema availability
While it may seem like a long shot, you could check to see what cinema tickets are still available at the ODEON in Liverpool One.
The fourth film of the Bridget Jones’s Diary saga is released on Valentine’s Day, so it’s all the more reason to see if you could be in luck!
Don’t forget about the gift!
We can’t mention short-notice date night plans without reminding you to get a gift if you haven’t already! With Amazon Student, you can get a last-minute gift delivered straight to your student accommodation in Liverpool the next day, ready for when your other half arrives.
If you’re struggling for ideas, play it safe with cliches such as adorable teddy bears or tasty chocolate selections – but you know your partner better than anyone, so it’s your call!
