Spending Valentine’s Day at home

Take a look at our hot ideas to help you celebrate a cuddly, romantic Valentine's Day at home...

Cook a sumptuous meal

Stick to food that is easy to prepare and romantic to eat. You don't want to spend hours in the kitchen. Food that you can share is fun, so think of things like fondues and puddings with two spoons. Steer clear of the garlic for tonight! If you feel like splashing out, you could always employ the services of a caterer who will also take care of washing up and clearing away!

Create an intimate dining area

If you have a large dining table, don't sit at opposite ends! Sit together at one end of the table and cover the rest of the table with petals and candles. Alternatively, you could opt for a carpet picnic... canapés and strawberries with plenty of champagne.

Rent a romantic movie

It's the best excuse to snuggle up on the couch. There are so many films to choose from: Sleepless in Seattle, Love Actually, Breakfast at Tiffanys, Brief Encounter, Sliding Doors, Romeo and Juliet, When Harry Met Sally, Four Weddings and a Funeral...

Have a cocktail party for two

Cocktail parties don't just have to be for big groups! Grab a cocktail shaker, a couple of martini glasses and brush up on your mixology for a rocking night indoors.

Set the mood

Create the right atmosphere in your love pad. Petals, feathers, balloons, candles, chocolate nibbles... mix and match your props to create the desired effect.
