We are determined to make 2025 a year filled with happiness, laughter and, most importantly, love. With Valentine’s Day creeping up on us and date night options remaining limited, we decided to compile our favorite at-home date ideas to get you started. Being stuck at home allows us to be more thoughtful and creative. And at the end of the day, all you need is your significant other or best gal pals in order to have a great Valentine’s Day. If you’re looking to spend Valentine's Day at home, this guide is for you. Check out four ways to celebrate the day of love at home below.
Indoor Fort Picnic Date
There’s nothing quite like being fun and silly with your best friend. Embrace your inner child and celebrate Valentine’s Day in a fort and set up an indoor picnic! Drape sheets and blankets around furniture in your living room to start. Get them to stay all day with chip clips or safety pins. Make the space as comfy as possible by stealing pillows and cushions from around the house! Finally, add string fairy lights or paper lanterns to brighten up the space and make your fort one of a kind. Now what? Have an indoor picnic! Instead of a fancy dinner, set up a little charcuterie board on Sprig & Vine dinnerware and say a toast with our gold stainless steel wine glasses. Also, don't forget a sweet treat to end the night! If you really want to create a romantic atmosphere, consider making chocolate covered strawberries for a fun and flirty dessert.
Future Vacation Planning
Now that it’s a new year, it’s time to start planning your summer holidays! So, it’s time to start looking forward to days of travelling again! Get excited for what’s ahead and use Valentine’s Day to plan an entire date around it. Create the itinerary of your dreams while munching on food from anywhere in the world. The Mini Luna Nesting Set is perfect for any spread. Here are some ideas to get you started: Egypt and hummus, Paris and macaroons or Cancún and a taco night!
DIY Wine Tasting
Wine tasting is a great date idea and especially easy to do from the comforts of your own home. Grab the red, white and rosé of your choice and three Tuscany Classics wine glasses each. Get into the tasting, sharing your thoughts on everything from clarity and brightness to intensity, body and scent. Not much of a wine drinker? Whip up a few fun cocktails in festive glassware like our Bottoms Up cocktail glasses to really celebrate the occasion. Snack while you sip or cook a romantic dinner that pairs well with your favorite of the three wines! To take it up a notch, create a lovely Valentine’s Day table setting to really elevate your dinner. This is a romantic date idea for your sweetheart or a fun activity to do with friends.
Virtual Galentine’s Party
Calling all single ladies! What would Beyoncé do if she was single on Valentine’s Day? Host the Galentine’s party of our dreams! If you want to make Valentine’s Day special but don’t have a partner, call all your friends and celebrate together. Your best friends are soulmates in a way. Choose a fun beverage like the Berry Happy Galentine’s Cocktail, gather the supplies ahead of time and mix them up together over Zoom. A virtual Galentine’s party is a fun way to celebrate at home with some of your favorite people.
At-Home Spa Day
An at-home spa day is a relaxing and luxurious way to spend Valentine’s Day, perfect for couples or even solo self-care. Transform your living room or bathroom into a spa retreat. Set up a cozy space with fluffy towels, a cozy blanket, and a scented candle. Scatter rose petals around the area for a touch of romance and play calming music or a romantic playlist to enhance the vibe.
Pamper yourselves with:
-
Face Masks: Use store-bought options or make a DIY mask with honey and oatmeal.
-
Foot Soak: Relax with a basin of warm water, Epsom salt, and essential oils.
-
Massage Time: Take turns giving back massages using aromatic oils.
End the romantic night with a glass of wine and a plate of chocolate for the ultimate relaxation. This special occasion is the perfect way to unwind together.
Baking Date Night
Get creative and enjoy a fun way to bond with a baking date night. This Valentine’s Day activity brings a playful energy to the kitchen and guarantees delicious results. Choose a festive recipe like heart-shaped cookies, red velvet cupcakes, or a chocolate fondue for dipping fruits. Gather all your ingredients and set up your workspace with decorative trays and candles for added charm. Don’t forget matching aprons for a cute photo opportunity. Showcase your treats on elegant platters like this two-tier French Perle Scallop White Server and enjoy a cozy moment together. Baking is a sweet treat in itself and a perfect way to spend the evening.
Celebrate Love, Your Way
Valentine’s Day at home can be just as magical as a night out—if not more so. With thoughtful planning, creativity, and a little extra love, you can make February 14th a day to remember, whether you’re spending it with your significant other, friends, or even enjoying some well-deserved self-care. From an indulgent romantic dinner and a cozy movie marathon to a relaxing spa day and creative baking date night, the possibilities are endless for crafting the perfect Valentine’s Day at home.
