So here we are again, with lockdown ruining all those romantic plans for valentine’s day… but do not fear! We have been doing our research and have found some amazing Valentine’s Day Ideas for all you gorgeous couples. So, grab your partner *hint hint* and a glass of something sparkling and enjoy the ideas we have found!
Let’s take a positive from this… at least you don’t have to endure a restaurant full of couples with an overpriced valentine’s day set menu… you can swap all this to celebrate in style in the comfort of your own home.
Valentine’s Day Ideas
1. Candle Lit Dinner
So, you can’t go out to your favourite restaurant but you also cant bear to spend another night sitting in front of the TV. So why not bring the restaurant to you? Set out your table with flowers and candles, your favourite bottle of wine and prepare your own 3 course meal and together, with your partner, cook up an absolute storm for you both to enjoy! Or.. for those who don’t want to spend the evening cooking, lots of restaurant are delivering straight to your door, including:
Sabai Sabai

They are AMAZING (trust us – we’ve tried!).
Victoria has now introduced a valentine’s day brownie and biscuit box, the perfect valentines gift!

3. Recreate your favourite memories
Why not make things a little more fun by recreating your favourite memories together?! Or… make a video of them!
What more could your partner wish for, an evening spent reminiscing on all your lovely memories, in the comfort of your own home. Then spend the rest of the evening by creating a themed evening based upon your favourite place in the world, have a cocktail night to remind you of your favourite holiday cocktail, or you dress up and play your favourite song on the speakers… the options are endless!
However, you may be spending your Valentine’s day, there are certainly so many ways to make it a special one. There is so much to celebrate, so much to be thankful for. So, cherish every single memory and spend the evening making even more!
See you soon lovely ladies
