Hello everyone!
I’m back and just in time to save my last-minute lovers ❤️😂.
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and here’s me ready to save the day/night.
I know some of you still don’t know what you’re doing, and your significant other is asking, so here are some cute ideas if you’re in Lagos!
1. Stay in your house dear.
Personally, this is my favourite suggestion, have you ever experienced Valentine’s Day traffic?
If you have I’m not sure how you still do it every year. Today is a great day for dinner & a movie ( Netflix and chill) in your house, get some fairy lights, some cute candles, and a sweet playlist to create a romantic vibe.
2. If you don’t have a house to stay in well then:
Dinner at a nice Restaurant will do, remember restaurants have hiked up prices and you might need to reserve a spot.
So to my last min.com friends have a look at the @Eat.Drink.Lagos Insta page to see a list of restaurants with Valentine’s Day specials. There’s a range of restaurant’s so hopefully, there’s something for everyone.
3. If you need to kill time before your dinner, be cliche and go and see a movie!
This is easy – pick a movie you’ll both enjoy and then see where the night takes you!
4. Couples massage: honestly this is not a last-minute man plan but it doesn’t hurt to try! Lucky for you it seems like there’s a spa at every turn in Lagos so pick one in your budget. This works better for Saturday. Good luck!
5. For something fun & romantic.
If your significant other has lots of energy then Upbeat is doing a special package that includes a meal, wine & jumping.
If anyone actually does this, please let me know how this goes. Try at your own risk.
6. If you’re being brave and finally asked someone out for Valentine’s Day, you might want to go for drinks and small bites, just in case it gets a bit awkward and you’re ready to leave!
My top two picks for really cute outdoor drink spots are:
1. The Light House
2. Bolivar Bar
7. For something romantic and a bit different –
Bubble is hosting an outdoor movie night on Saturday 15th at Lekki Special Events Centre. There will be Sip&paint, wine tasting, games & cupids den.
This is definitely something to surprise your significant other with, especially if on Friday you took my number 1 suggestion and stayed in your house! More details on their Instagram page – @bubblee_ng
8. One of my favourite spots – Bogobiri is hosting a Karaoke & Games night there’s also dinner for two! Head over to their Instagram page for more details @bogobirihouse
Remember it’s a day to show love, it’s supposed to be fun. So no matter what you do enjoy !
Happy Valentine’s Day!
– Fike
