Livin’ It Lufbra Series: Valentine’s Day
(This post has been updated for Valentine’s Day 2017)
In this Livin’ It Lufbra episode we’ll be helping you ‘get lucky’ this Valentine’s Day… With our list of events and activities to help you treat that special someone (or yourself), plus our usual monthly round-up of the hottest student deals.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Whether you’re completely loved up, or enjoying single life, Valentine’s Day has become one of the widest celebrated holidays — second only to Christmas!
Millions of pounds are spent every year on cards, gifts and flowers by couples wanting to treat their significant others, or indeed those looking to win over their crush, on this special day.
Love it or loathe it, it’s almost upon us, so we thought we’d give you a few ideas and money saving tips to help you celebrate this loved-up holiday!
Events & Activities To Celebrate Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day 3 Course Dinner At La Gondola
If you’re feeling the need to splash out a little bit and really treat your other half, why not book at table at La Gondola and take advantage of their Valentine’s Day set menu. At £28.95 a head it’s not the cheapest, but it’s certainly not the most expensive either!
Enjoy a fantastic 3-course meal in a wonderfully romantic setting — available Saturday 11th, Monday 13th & Tuesday 14th February. Sounds perfect, especially since St. Valentine himself was Italian too!
Staying In Is The New Going Out
If £28.95 per person is a little out of your budget, staying in and cooking for your Valentine is a sure fire way to rustle up a little romance on a budget!
You don’t have to be a culinary genius either, stick with something simple, add a few candles, romantic music and some flowers and you’re bound to impress – just make sure you boot any lairy housemates out for a few hours to avoid any party crashers!
Catch A Movie Together
So, this one may be pretty old school, but how many of us bother to go to the cinema anymore when we can just ‘Netflix and chill’?!
But Valentine’s day is a special occasion, so why not pull out all the stops for a proper date and treat your special someone to a night at the movies. There’s nothing quite like sharing a nice warm box of popcorn and watching something romantic on the big screen!
