Chef’s Kiss

Rather than having food delivered, why not play some romantic music, pour yourselves a drink and spend time creating a delicious meal together. If a cute food fight happens to break out in the process, well that’s even better. 

Create an at-home cinema experience

Let’s be honest, there’s no need to venture outside to catch a blockbuster these days, so queue up your watch list, get plenty of blankets to snuggle under and remember to stock up on cinema snacks that you both love. And don’t forget, since mood lighting equals instant romance, switch off your lamps and enjoy the gentle flickers of your favourite scented candles.

Forget your phones

Remember the nights you used to stay up chatting until 3am without even realizing the time? This Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to put your phones on silent, switch off the tv and make time to talk to your partner. Tell them about your day and listen to them speak about theirs.

Plan a vacay with your Valentine

Whether it’s a two-week-long adventure in another county or an overnight stay at a local B&B, planning a romantic trip together can be a perfect way to spend your evening ­– especially by candlelight with your favourite drinks in hand. 

Go for a games night

No matter if you prefer board, card or video games, spending the evening playing together is a sure-fire recipe for romance. Just remember it’s all for fun and that on 14th February, everyone’s a winner in the game of love. 

Plan an indoor picnic

If your culinary skills leave a lot to be desired or you want to spend your time canoodling instead of cooking, an indoor picnic is the perfect Valentine’s date idea. Lay a blanket and plenty of pillows on the floor, light a candle or two and stock up on all the best picnic foods for a stress-free feast.
