Love is in the air! Couples all over the world are preparing for the most romantic day of the year and what better way to celebrate it than with an intimate night at home with your partner?

According to our in-house hopeless romantic, Jessica Pinker, โ€œMore than half of the UKโ€™s lovebirds are planning on spending Valentineโ€™s Day in the comfort of their home this year and while some may worry their partners will find it to be a dry way to celebrate the holiday, we here at LDV know exactly how to make it a night to remember.โ€

Try The 4 Course Meal Challenge But At Home

What says I love you better than takeaways and a little friendly competition? If you and your partner arenโ€™t in the mood to drive around or prep a homemade dish this Valentine’s Day then we highly recommend the viral 4 Course Meal Challenge but with a twist! This challenge consists of playing four rounds of rock, paper, scissors with your significant other and the winner of each round gets to pick either the drinks, appetisers, main course or dessert for the night. The twist is that you order the drinks or food from your go-to food delivery app. Need a recommendation? How about Uber Eats? The food delivery service allows you to order your favourite dishes from local restaurants all at the touch of a button! Plus they accept our Uber Eats promo codes! Take a break from cooking this Valentineโ€™s Day and celebrate with your favourite guilty pleasures.

Tip: To save on delivery fees, we recommend placing a single order with all four courses to one food delivery service.

Learn A New Dance

Believe it or not, dancing is actually a great way to build your bond and have a little fun (even if you have two left feet)! There are a wide variety of dances out there for you and your partner to try. Whether you decide to try out the feisty tango or your favourite Tiktok dance, putting together this date is as easy as finding a tutorial online and putting on some music! Youโ€™re guaranteed to have some laughs and just maybe a romantic moment in between if you sneak a slow dance in.

Set Up A Spotify Date

The perfect way to have a low-key date night and bond over your favourite songs! Break the ice by creating a playlist with both of your favourite songs and ease into the date by listening to them. Once youโ€™re warmed up, start giving each other prompts, like โ€œPlay a song that reminds you of our first dateโ€. According to Cosmopolitan, this is the โ€œbest way to get to know someone without directly asking them questions.โ€

If you have Spotify Premium you can take the date to the next level by setting up a Jam! Jam is a fairly new feature on the music app that allows listeners to line up their favourite songs and have a listening session with friends. The best part is you and your group will receive recommendations based on the songs youโ€™re queuing up so the session can last for as long as you need.

Tip: If moving to Spotify Premium is a little too expensive for your monthly budget, you can use a Spotify discount code to get a discount on your monthly fee.

Go For A Tarot Reading

What better way to really get to know each other than having your fortune read? Tarot readings can help you get insight into your relationship and help you figure out how to strengthen it. While there are some risks involved with fortune reading (such as not getting the answer you want), we think it would be a fun way to bond with your partner on Valentine’s Day. You can either have the reading done virtually or invest in a tarot deck if you and your partner would prefer to do the reading yourselves. If youโ€™d prefer the virtual route, Groupon offers a wide range of tarot reading experiences from as little as ยฃ15 for an online 15-minute session. Plus you can use a Groupon discount code to save even more on your purchase!

Have A Game Night

Nowadays everyone seems to be glued to their phone screens. Scrolling through social media has become a favourite pastime for many, but recent studies have found that it can hugely affect your relationship with your partner. To put it simply, screen time takes your attention away from your partner, causing less communication to occur between you two thus allowing you to drift away from one another. This Valentineโ€™s Day, put your devices away and let communication (and your competitive sides) flourish with an old-fashioned board game! There is a wide range of games for you to choose from, including classics like Monopoly, Uno and Scrabble! If youโ€™re looking for something more communication-based, we recommend something trivia-based, like The Ultimate Couples Game. Vogue states that โ€œwhether itโ€™s your second date or the 200th, you can always get to know your partner betterโ€ and this card game comes with hundreds of scenarios and questions you can ask your partner that will help you learn new things about each other. The best part is it’s available on Amazon for only ยฃ10 and you can use an Amazon promo code for further savings on your order!
