At Home Valentines Date Night Ideas

by | Feb 4, 2023

Don’t you just love love?! Valentines is one of my favourite holidays because for me, nothing is better than showing the people I care about most that I love them. Valentines can be one of the most commercial holidays and its easy to get overwhelmed by all the expectations and marketing.

I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be complicated and you can have an amazing and romantic night right at home! Skip the resos and the overpriced restaurant dinners with these fun and simple ideas.

1. Cook Together

I love cooking for Walt, but sometimes its even better to make an activity of it and cook together. One of the most fun and easy recipes you can make is a good old fashioned home made pizza. My flatbread recipe is quick and easy and can be made into a cute heart shape to set the mood. For an extra level of fun, prep ingredients like peperoni and sliced cheese in the shape of hearts too!

Of course you can’t forget dessert, and what could be better than fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate! This recipe is so fun to make together and you can decorate your creations with sprinkles, nuts, coconut, or whatever you want! Get creative!

2. Wine Tasting

Start our your night with a trip to your local liquor store and have fun picking out at least 3 bottles of wine that you haven’t tried before. Go for wines with fun names, cool bottles, or from regions you would love to travel to. If you know you are picky, ask a worker for recommendations or look up reviews on your phone. You may also want to get one “safe” wine you know you’ll like.

Once home, look up the vineyards and learn more about the origins of each of your choices. Take turns tasting each wine and documenting your reactions. If you are new to wine tasting check out my free Wine 101 Guide to learn about the types of wine and the elements of wine tasting.

To elevate the experience I always recommend using a decanter to let the wine breathe, you’ll taste the difference, believe me! These cute wine tasting glasses and the wine tasting journal also make the cutest gifts! You can also check out my Amazon Storefront for more wine related gift ideas!

3. Spa Night

Mix things up with some pampering, because Men need a little bit of luxury in their lives too! This can be such a fun thing to do together while watching a movie or sipping wine.

Put on robes or comfy clothes and do facemasks, soak your feet in warm water and do a foot treatment, and take turns giving each other massages! Check out these cute home spa items on my Amazon Storefront.

I hope these ideas make your Valentines magical! And remember – don’t wait until Valentines for romance!
