If you're not up for that overpriced romantic dinner this Valentine’s Day, that doesn’t mean you should write off the holiday altogether. There are plenty of ways to celebrate at home!
Whether you and your beau are hoping for super intimate holiday convos or a less traditional evening solving murders, here are our top 5 favorite date-night-at-home ideas for February 14.
1. Stage an at-home paint night with a romantic theme
What’s more romantic than creating beautiful art with your beau? Just grab a bottle of your favorite wine and the Paint at Home Kit for two from Muse Paintbar, and you’ll have everything you need for a fun night in on Valentine’s Day.
The kit includes canvases, paint, brushes, and supplies for two paintings, along with a step-by-step video tutorial.
2. Do a fun baking project with your family
If you're looking for a hands-on project to tackle with your kids on Valentine's Day, Baketivity offers family-friendly baking kits that will help you whip up a delicious dessert in no time. We tried the Valentine’s Blondies Kit and loved how quick and easy it was to bake using the pre-measured ingredients. (You do have to supply perishable ingredients such as butter and eggs, though.)
The dessert came together in around 15 minutes, and the final results were delicious! Plus, it comes in a specially decorated box and has a Valentine’s Day craft ideas guide.
3. Play detective with a murder mystery box
Looking for an outside-the-box activity for Love Day? You and your date will have a blast unraveling a murder mystery with Hunt A Killer. This interactive subscription box lets you play detective, unraveling complex clues about a (fictional) murder and hunting down the perpetrator.
The mystery plays out over the course of six boxes, and each one provides around 90 minutes of activity—perfect for an unconventional date night!
4. Make sweet holiday cards with your children
Celebrating V-Day with your whole family? Kids will love being able to create festive cards with the help of the KiwiCo Valentine’s Day Card Kit, which includes supplies to make up to 27 cards (perfect if they want to mail some to friends and family) and is recommended for kids 6 and up.
All they have to do is add one of the adorable pop-up shapes to a blank card, and then they can go to town decorating it with markers, stick-on jewels, and even wiggle eyes.
5. Enjoy deep conversation thanks to these unique prompts
Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met? If you could only have one app on your phone, what would it be? These are just a few of the interesting conversation prompts included the Hygge Conversation Game, which offers 330 thought-provoking questions to get you and your partner talking.
It’s a great way to keep things fresh and share memorable moments on Valentine’s Day, and you’ll be able to pull the game out on future date nights, too.
