2. Organise a romantic picnic

Adelaide is full of stunning parks and gardens perfect for a romantic picnic. Pack up a basket with your partner’s favourite snacks, throw in a bottle of wine, and head to the Adelaide Botanic Garden or Semaphore Beach for a sunset view. For that extra touch of romance, add some fresh blooms to your picnic setup.

9. Plan a camping trip

If you and your partner have big adventures, why not surprise them by planning a camping trip for your anniversary. Pack the car with all the essentials like a tent, torch, blankets, marshmallows (an obvious essential!) and enjoy the outdoors. You could even plan a hike somewhere in the Adelaide Hills and watch the sunset.

10. Write them a special card

Sometimes, the simplest gestures are the most meaningful. Take the time to write a heartfelt letter or card to your partner for your anniversary, telling them exactly how much they mean to you. Pair it with some beautiful bright-coloured flowers for that extra touch of love.

11. Cook something together

Another simple but special surprise anniversary idea is to have a little cooking date together. You could print out a recipe, purchase all the ingredients before and surprise them with it all laid out, ready to tackle the dish together. This is a great way to spend some quality time with your partner and enjoy a home cooked dish.

12. Have a paint and sip night

Unleash your inner artist with a fun paint and sip night! You can join a class at one of Adelaide’s trendy studios or set up your own at home with some wine and canvases. Bonus: You’ll have a one-of-a-kind masterpiece to remember the night, how sweet!

13. Plan a vacation

A great surprise anniversary idea is to take your partner on a mini planned vacation to one of Adelaide’s beautiful nearby destinations, like the McLaren Vale wine region or Kangaroo Island. A romantic getaway is the perfect way to celebrate!

14. Order takeout and have a quiet movie night

If your vibe is more cosy and chill, order your favourite takeout, grab a blanket, light some candles and have a relaxed movie night at home. Sometimes, all you need is each other and a comfy couch to make the night special.

15. Plan a photoshoot

Capture your love with a romantic couple’s photoshoot! Adelaide’s scenic spots like Henley Beach offer gorgeous backdrops to make your photos really stand out.

Perfect to look back on next anniversary or post on the gram and showcase your romantic achievements!

16. Couples games night

Time to get competitive! A great anniversary surprise idea is to get the board/card games out and get cheeky with a challenge. Whether it’s Go Fish, Poker or Monopoly, grab yourself a glass of wine and giggle the night away with a fun night at home of board games.

17. Make romantic bouquets with flower arranging classes

Ever wanted to try your hand at creating your own flower bouquet? Sign up for a flower arranging workshop in Adelaide and learn to make your very own romantic masterpiece together. This would be such a unique experience for you and your partner to enjoy and bonus! You get a personalised bouquet to give to them at the end.

18. Make a time capsule

A real special anniversary surprise idea is to create a time capsule filled with memories of your relationship so far - photos, little notes, and mementos and bury it somewhere special. Plan to open it on a future anniversary! This is a great way to show your partner that you’re really serious about your relationship and maybe aren’t far from popping the question!

19. Surprise them with a personalised art piece

Celebrate your unique love story with a custom piece of art! Whether it’s a hand-drawn sketch of a portrait of you both or where you had your first date or a vibrant painting capturing a memory only you both share, this surprise will feel deeply personal. It’s thoughtful, creative, and will make their heart double in size! What could be better than turning your love story into art?

20. Make flower-pressed art
