Valentines Day Romantic Ideas for Couples in 2020
Bring on the mush; the most romantic month of the year is here! The sugar rush of Valentine's Day inevitably infects almost everything around; the waltz of red roses, the luscious seduction of chocolates and the overdose of heart-shaped knick-knacks doesn't escape anybody. Grand romantic dates and extravagant displays of puppy love have become the order of the day. But if you are one of those who would rather drown in muddy quicksand than fall for the over-the-top, tacky ideas sold by commercial wisdom as ideal Valentine's day, then this article is just for you!
1. Bury a time capsule
Before you start devising ways to build a time-travel machine, let me tell you that a time capsule is just a box full of your best romantic memories that could be in the form of small trinkets, cards, letters and curios that have special meaning to you as a couple. You could reminisce about those memories together as you put them in this private box that can be buried in your backyard, and dig out years later to revisit the happy memories.
2. Camping with your Love
You can escape the overload of commercial mush and the chaos of the city by camping under the stars and in the arms of wilderness for a night. Pack a portable tent, a few blankets and a bottle of your favorite champagne. Light up a bonfire and bring along your guitar or fill your mobile with Phil Collins numbers; this one promises to be a legendary night!

Plan to spend your Valentine's day indoors? How about putting a stamp of your love in your home?

Are you both the adventurous kind? How about going hiking together? Head out to the closest hill from the city and discover the romance of unadulterated air, birdsongs, and verdant pathways. Once you reach the top and have recovered from the awe-inspiring beauty of the view, you can lay out a small picnic-for-two and reminisce about simpler times.
6. Something fishy:
If sweating or panting aren't your ideas of an ideal Valentine's day, you can rent two fishing rods, pack a few cold beers and head to the closest lake for a peaceful day by the water with your lover. Whether you manage to draw a good catch or not, your Valentine's day is sure to turn out to be memorable.
