Valentine's Day Night-In Ideas

It’s official – staying in is the new going out. So, we’ve put together some date night (or date day) ideas to help you spend much-needed quality time with your favourite person. Read on to discover our top tips…

5 Valentine’s Day night-in ideas

1. Have a board game night

Tired of always looking at screens? Playing board games is a great way to reconnect with your partner, whether it’s stacking towers or a card game. If you fancy something a bit more unusual, you could even put your sleuthing skills to the test with an at-home escape room in an envelope.

2. Decorate your home

An easy way to upgrade date night is by filling your home with romantic touches. This could be some pillar candles to set the mood, a personalised pizza board to make them smile, beautiful bunting or simply a scatter of petals on your dining table.

3. Host a movie night

If you’re both film lovers, a movie night might just be the perfect February 14th activity. The key here is to go the extra mile and add some unique details so it feels even more special than your typical night in. Surprise them with a bespoke blanket with both your names on or a personalised popcorn bowl. Or plan for the future with a box of movie date night ideas.

4. Cook them a fancy meal

Another way to show them how much you care is by rustling them up a delicious meal. There are tons of make-your-own-kits available, from pretzel baking kits to everything you need to make paella. But, if you struggle in the kitchen, our small brands have got you covered with artisanal food and drink treats guaranteed to impress. Think gourmet marshmallow-toasting kits, cocktail sets and the ultimate cheese and charcuterie boards. You could even go all out with your feast and get an extra-large pork pie. Yum.

5. Get creative

Whether it’s icing your own biscuits, having a sip-and-paint session or making a memory scrapbook, getting crafty is a really meaningful way to unwind as a couple. You might even discover a creative side to them that you didn’t know they had.
