Valentine’s Day ideas with 1001
If you have the kids at home and are not sure how to spend Valentine’s Day, here are some great ways to help you enjoy the special day:
- Make your breakfast Valentine’s Day themed! Simply drop a little pink food colouring into your pancake mix. Add strawberries and raspberries and other pink extras
- Cut the kids’ school sandwiches and your partner’s sandwiches into heart shapes
- Make love notes with heart-shaped paper and get the kids to write down positive phrases on them
- Create special heart-shaped bird feeders with the kids. Simply mix together lard with currants, breadcrumbs, cake crumbs, unsalted peanuts and then press into a heart-shaped mould. Add a string loop for hanging and cover over with more mix. Leave overnight in the fridge to set. Birds will love the tasty treat!
Valentine’s Day on a budget?
Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to spend some quality time together. But if your budget is limited, it doesn’t mean your day has to be any less special. Here are some great ways to celebrate the romantic day on a budget:
- Go for a movie night – this doesn’t have to be at the cinema, it can be at your own home! Buy some popcorn, choose the film and turn down the lights and turn off your phone so you won’t have any distractions. We recommend The Notebook – our favourite.
- Pack a picnic – if the weather’s on your side, pack up a simple picnic and take it to your favourite rural getaway spot. It can even be in your own backyard! Add some tealights for a romantic touch.
- Have a romantic meal – whether you’re going for your favourite takeaway or a homecooked meal, make it extra special by lighting some candles at the table.
- Hide secret notes around the home – finding handwritten love notes in unexpected places like your lunch bag, bed or make-up bag is the perfect way to give your loved one a little buzz.
Galentine’s Day ideas
If Valentine’s Day to you is all about spending it with your friends, then here are some ideas:
- Get the girls over for a pamper night – think facemasks, nail varnish and a bottle of fizz
- Go for a hike – not only will the fresh air and outdoors help you reconnect with nature; you’ll have fun doing it with friends. We find it usually helps when there’s a pub at the end of the walk for a well-deserved lunch!
- Schedule a call together – if you all live far away from each other, that doesn’t mean you can’t get together, albeit virtually!
Valentine’s Day for one
There’s nothing to say that Valentine’s Day can’t be all about you. Here’s how you can give yourself some well-deserved me-time:
- Order your favourite takeaway
- Buy yourself some flowers – they’ll brighten your mood and your home
- Treat yourself to a pamper – whether you head to the spa or have a pamper at home with a facemask, make sure to take some time for you
- Have a soak in the bath – light some candles, bring your favourite book and put your phone on silent…
