Let's talk Valentine's Day. A day we associate with heart-shaped chocolates, red roses and candlelit dinners. At least, that's what commercialism says. Where does the concept of Valentine's Day even come from? Well, unbeknownst to many - Valentine's Day originated as a Christian feast day honouring a martyr named Valentine, a figure of sacrificial love in its truest form. Over the centuries, it has also developed into a celebration of romance and love in many regions worldwide. It occurs on February 14th, a day that quickly follows the New Year's festivities, and as such, it is often forgotten or overlooked. Whether or not you partake in the traditional meaning of Valentine's Day, many have latched on to the concept as an opportunity to spend quality time with a loved one. Valentine's Day isn't recognised as a public holiday in New Zealand, but that's no excuse not to celebrate! That's where we come in. We're here with 2025 recommendations of where to take your lover (or pal) this Valentine's Day. Not only this, but you will also receive quick-fire suggestions for floral alternatives, gift ideas, and activities! Without further ado - this is our 2025 Guide to Valentine's Day
