Happy Valentines Day my loves!
It’s that time of year we all look forward to… PANCAKE DAY I mean Valentines!!
Now me and the husband Luke, aren’t die-hard valentines people and never have been! We should love our loved ones all year round (you know what I’m going to say)
BUT I do think it’s a great excuse to take a moment in our hectic lives to appreciate our partners.
Last year we stayed in and had a home-cooked dinner. We enjoyed each other’s company with no fancy trip out or gifts, it was lovely.
A couple of years before that I got my sapphire ring so there’s really no middle ground with us, I love it that we don’t expect anything, and there’s no major pressure. I’m all for being different. He knows never to buy me flowers on Valentine it’s to cliché for me! Any other day I would appreciate them so much more.
If you are someone who celebrates Valentine or likes us just enjoy making time for each other then I have some great gift and date night ideas for you!
A fancy meal in for two
Lots of supermarkets do a great meal deal for two where all the food is ready to cook. You can mix and match and they normally come with A starter, main, dessert and a bottle. These are a great idea if you don’t want to cook but also don’t want to just get a takeaway. It’s something you can just bung in the oven and relax with a drink while you wait! Set up some candles and it’s the perfect cosy night. Poundland and Home bargains have some lush little valentine style decorations and novelty bits so you can decorate your house.
Something personalised to you!
Photo prints from the perfect gift. I think they’re so romantic especially if its something a little private you can put in your room. I love a good canvas or a photo memory book.
A date night jar gift idea is perfect if you’re on a budget! Write down on paper or lollypop sticks lots of different ideas for the two of you to do together for date night quality time.
You could put things like:
Candlelit bath and massage, Games night, Movie Marathon
An IOU planned day trip is perfect if you’re on a budget! Maybe a little weekend away write make a cute voucher describing what it is you would like to do.
Now I’m going to let you in on one of my most favorite things to do with Luke. Going for late-night drives! We very rarely get time away from our boys as a couple. I love going for a long drive getting lost and talking about our future together. It’s peaceful and quiet, no distractions like the boys, mobile phones or the tv and we can just enjoy each other and have a good natter! Through in some snacks and personally, I think it’s perfect!
After all, valentines day is about your relationship so do something together the two of you.
Be sure to let me know what you get up to this Valentine’s Day!
