Ahh, it’s officially the month of love and Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Whether you’re spending it with your partner, family, or having your very own ‘Palentine’s Day’, we’ve created a guide to the sweetest night in (so you don’t have to).
Forget finding a babysitter and spending a fortune at expensive restaurants, our Valentine’s night-in means closing the curtains, shutting out the rest of the world, and focusing your full attention on your nearest and dearest.
…Let’s get stuck in!
Put Your Cooking Skills to the Test
First thing’s first, good food sets the mood. You don’t need to be a Jamie Oliver level chef to conjure up a three course meal that’s sure to impress.
We suggest opting for simple but impressive dishes to dazzle your loved one - even better if you decide to share the responsibility and get cooking together!
Here’s our super simple Valentine’s menu:
Starter
A creamy roasted red pepper soup with crispy croutons that could be prepared the day before and simply reheated.
Main
Sausage pasta bake that packs a punch. This is another dish that can be premade and bunged in the oven to warm through.
Dessert
Chocolate dipped strawberries. Self-explanatory and always a crowd-pleaser! You could also try this with oranges, apples and peaches.
Drink
Cranberry cocktails made with cranberry, vodka, raspberry and prosecco. A romantic fizz full of flavour!
Get Comfy for Movie Night
We all know the hardest part of movie night is agreeing on a movie. Take the choice away by using a random movie generator to avoid wasting an hour searching Netflix. Whatever comes up first, you watch. No ifs, buts, or maybes!
Once you know which movie you’re going to watch, it’s important to create an environment of pure comfort and calm. First thing’s first, a movie night calls for pyjamas. Our Warming Pyjama or Loungewear set are perfect for cosying up on the couch. Alternatively, our Mega Hoodies make the best wearable blanket.
Next, it’s time to mould yourself to the sofa and cover up with a soft blanket or two. Dim the lights, turn the volume up, oh, and don’t forget the popcorn!
Gift Giving - Here are our Top Ideas
Not everyone likes to exchange gifts on Valentine’s Day, maybe a simple card will do, but if you are looking to get a little bit of something for your Valentine, here are our top suggestions for a heartfelt gift that they’ll be sure to cherish.
A Homemade Scrapbook
Sentimental gifts make the best gifts - create a scrapbook of memories that you share together with pictures and trinkets.
An Arty Afternoon
Grab some art supplies: canvas, paints, air-dry clay, you name it, and spend the afternoon getting crafty with your Valentine. If you’re feeling daring, you could even paint a portrait of one another!
