It’s no secret that Valentine’s Day is stressful. Don’t get me wrong, I love splurging on a good date night, but honestly going out on Valentine’s Day can be tough to do. Date nights at home can be simple and yet, a really intimate and special way to celebrate. Whether you’ll be spending Valentine’s Day with your boo or celebrating Galantine’s Day with the girls, I wanted to share a few fun ways to celebrate at home this Valentine’s Day.
Fondue Party
The perfect casual at-home date night or winter get-together with friends is best spent around a fondue pot. If you need some ideas for recipes, check out some great ones from The Spruce.
At-Home Spa
With a few candles, massage oil, and some facial masks (yes, fellas can get behind good skin care too), you can create a night of pampering with an at-home spa. This curated box is perfect for supporting small, and, Naples Soap has so many more cute gift boxes that include V-day essentials like bath bombs, body oil, and candles!
S’More’s Night
If you’re counting down the days till summer, pick up some chocolate and marshmallows and channel your inner child with an indoor s’mores station. If you have a gas range, you can toast marshmallows over your stove. Otherwise, bake a sheet of s’mores and enjoy over Netflix and wine.
Make a Valentine’s Day Breakfast
Breakfast in bed might be cliche, but there’s a reason it’s still around. Wake up before your Valentine and surprise them with heart-shaped waffles or french toast in bed. Who doesn’t love a date that doesn’t require getting out of bed?
Host a Board Game Party
Pull out your favorite board games (think games made for two- Scrabble, Spouseology, chess, or card games) and challenge your partner to a duel, or have your friends bring over their favorite games and have a game night playing everyone’s fave.
Taco Night
Break the routine and plan an adventurous and interactive dinner this Valentine’s Day with a nacho bar. It’s a great way to bond with your boo and break from the traditional. This make-your-own tortilla maker is perfect if you want to start from scratch! If nachos aren’t your thing, try a build-your-own pizza station or a mashed potato bar. Interactive dinners will make Valentine’s Day feel special and can become a new tradition.
