5 Things to do on Valentine's Day at Home


By Phoebe Griffiths

Stuck indoors on the most romantic day of the year? Don’t worry, because we have some of the most ridiculously romantic Valentine's gift experiences for couples to enjoy cosied up on the sofa this Valentine’s Day. And, we’re going to let you in on our top five - so, keep reading! 

Valentine’s Day is the day of the year where you let your partner, crush or long-suffering spouse know that they’re your favourite person. This year, we think you should let your lover know how much they mean to you by planning an extra special day filled with extra special gift experiences. We’re talking cute craft kits for a spot of pottery at home and boozy virtual experiences that give you private tours of gin distilleries! When it comes to gift experiences for couples, we know what we’re talking about. 

If you want to show your favourite human that you can still pull off the best Valentine's Day without even leaving the house, let us take you through our top five things to do on Valentine’s Day at home.

1. Cook up a romantic storm with a virtual cooking class

An overpriced Valentine’s Day meal at a fancy restaurant might not be on the cards this year. But, perhaps that’s for the best. This year, you could treat your perfect partner to a delicious home-cooked dish that’s worthy of a Michelin star, or two! With a cooking class online you and your partner can perfect your favourite cuisine, whether it’s Italian, Japanese, Chinese or even French. Or, if you skipped the box of chocolates this year, why not make your own handmade truffles? You’ll have the on-hand help of an expert chef who’ll guide you through each stage and if you choose, you can also enjoy a cooking kit complete with all the necessary ingredients! 

Not only are online cooking classes for beginners a great way to learn some important culinary skills, but they’re also super fun and a rather romantic indoor activity too. When it comes to isolation date ideas for foodies, cooking lessons online are a perfect blend of good food, laughter and romance! Just picture it, you and your loved one are chopping up some tasty ingredients whilst your own personal expert chef tells you which spices complement each other. Finally, it’s time to eat your carefully crafted dish and say bye to your foodie fanatic teacher. You turn the lights down low, light a few candles and enjoy a delicious meal you both enjoyed making together. Now that’s a romantic Valentine’s Day neither of you will forget! If a romantic dinner date at home sounds good to you, make sure you book a cooking class online before it’s too late.

2. Try some DIY pottery at home together  

When it comes to Valentine's Day ideas for couples who are simply potty about each other, you can’t go wrong with a romantic evening in with a pottery starter kit. Forget venturing out on a cold February night and opt instead for a creative indoor gift experience that will give you both an excuse to get all glammed up (with an apron) and stay cosy. 

With a pottery kit, you can make your own pots, plates and bowls without even leaving the house! Whether it’s stoneware for the kitchen or decorative pieces for your bedroom, a pottery at home virtual experience makes for some rather romantic DIY home decor for couples who are as crazy about each other as they are about design. Once you’ve got your hands dirty making something beautiful together, you’ll have some gorgeous homemade pottery to use for years to come. After all, there’s no better way to enjoy a well-cooked meal than with hand-crafted crockery! If you want to impress your partner this Valentine’s Day, book yourselves in and enjoy a romantic DIY date night that will leave your friends green with envy.

If you’re stuck apart at the moment and need some Zoom date night ideas, why not take an online pottery class together? With your DIY pottery kits delivered to wherever you are, you can share in a romantic and creative virtual experience, despite being worlds apart. Now that’s romantic.

3. Shake things up this Valentine’s Day with a DIY cocktails class

If you’re the type of couple that likes to party, a unique evening of DIY cocktails, is just what you need. Forget about doing the usual dinner and movie date this Valentine’s Day - instead, shake things up and enjoy some cocktail making at home. With a virtual cocktails gift experience for couples, you can show your special someone how much they mean to you in the best way possible; by serving them some of the most delicious cocktails in town! 

With our cocktail kits delivered right to your door, you can spend hours sipping on some of the finest drinks from around the world. From mojitos to margaritas and even martinis, there are plenty of delicious concoctions that will impress even the biggest cocktail connoisseurs this Valentine’s Day (and maybe persuade them to try something new too!). 

Perhaps you’re more sippers than you are shakers and would trade a night out on the town for an evening tasting artisanal gins and craft spirits? Well, why not take a virtual tour of a real-life gin distillery while sipping a gin selection box, or learn all about all different types of spirits with a spirit tasting virtual class and kit? If you’re looking for boozy things to do on Valentine’s Day, we have plenty of options for sippers, shakers, makers and tasters.

If you’re both looking for excuses to drink and unwind, then grab a bottle of wine for a stress-busting wine and paint class. With this gift experience for couples, you can enjoy an evening of painting while sipping on a glass of your favourite tipple. So if you and your partner are looking for something fun to do on Valentine’s Day but would rather not venture out into the cold, then book yourself in for a romantic paint and sip online class at home.

Why not kick back with a glass (or two) of vino whilst getting creative?
