Home Is Where The Heart Is
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about going out – why not celebrate the love from the comfort of your own home, with our top 5 date ideas for a fun-filled evening in. Whether you’re spending it with your other half or with friends, get inspired with themed activities everyone is guaranteed to enjoy.
Romantic movie night
For the perfect low-maintenance date night in, curl up on the sofa with your nearest and dearest and pop on your favourite romantic film, or maybe a feel-good rom-com. Create a cosy romantic setting with plush soft furnishings and Valentine’s inspired décor, plus plenty of popcorn and tasty treats to snack on whilst you watch.
Ambient spa evening
Create a serene spa experience from the comfort of your home, with pamper picks that set the scene for love. Light up the room with ambient scented candles and add some elegant touches with a blossoming floral display. Slip into a luxurious fluffy bathrobe and reach for aromatic bath salts, rejuvenating face masks or an indulgent foot spa, to truly relax and unwind with your loved one.
Wine tasting charcuterie
Raise a glass to romance, with a sophisticated evening of wine and charcuterie. Select a range of wines to sample from different regions – think fruit-filled shiraz, classic citrusy pinot grigio and deep smokey malbec – poured into elegant glassware. For a delicious wine pairing, serve up a platter of delicious cold meats, cheese and fruits on aesthetic Valentine’s inspired dinnerware, for the perfect boozy evening treat.
Cocktail making soirée
If you’re planning a fun Galantine’s activity or looking to learn some new skills to impress your partner, why not host a cocktail making night? Whether you get creative and mix your own cocktails and mocktails or prefer to play it safe with a pre-made cocktail, there’s something to suit everyone. Opt for a professional crystal cocktail shaker, serve up your favourite drinks in stylish glassware and toast to lasting love.
The Great Valentine’s Bake Off
There’s nothing like a bit of healthy competition to keep the spark alive – why not challenge your partner or friends to a bake off-themed Valentine’s evening. Grab all your ingredients and reach for a trusty baking set with all the mixing bowls and utensils you need to cook up a storm. Why not commit to the theme of love, with a heart shaped cake tin or patterned oven gloves, add the finishing touches with decorative icing and display your baked creations on a perfectly pink tablescape.
