Top 5 Tips for a Romantic Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Tips

Whilst we all know to cherish those we love every day of the year, Valentine’s Day can be the perfect reason to go above and beyond. Though there can be a lot of pressure on Valentine’s day to show your romantic side and live up to your partner’s expectations. This post contains some top tips you could use to help this Valentine’s day feel the most romantic yet.

There are a lot of factors to consider. Whether you’re just a couple of months into a relationship, or in your golden years; planning the perfect Valentine’s can take time and might even mean stepping a little out of your comfort zone to pull off the perfect romantic day. Whether you’re struggling with the decision to go big and make bold plans, or go for a subtle night in, all aspects of valentine’s day can be challenging without a little guidance, so here are some of my favourites.

Start the Day with Something Special

It doesn’t get much more romantic than starting the day with breakfast in bed. This is a classic part of valentine’s day for a reason. It starts the day off in a unique way, and can be a great way to relax and enjoy spending time together.

You could take breakfast to the next level, and treat your partner to something you don’t usually eat. Maybe warm banana bread, pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, or attempt a perfect omelette. These four breakfast in bed options should give you great all-round breakfast ideas. To really enhance the romance, add a flower or love note on a tray, with a cup of fresh coffee of course!

Personalise the Small Things

Valentine’s day is all about showing your partner how much you love them. There’s no better way to start the day than by giving a Personalised Valentines Card with a meaningful photo and message. Although it can be an easy choice to get a card from the local store, your partner might really appreciate the time and thought behind this.

Plan in Advance

Many partners find the process of deciding on a Valentine’s gift difficult. But plan ahead and think about what they’d really appreciate. Whether it’s just their favourite bottle of wine waiting for them when they come home from work, or a treatment at one of the most luxurious spas in the country.

Many gifts for Valentines are easy to get, as long as you prepare them in advance, whether it’s a box of chocolates, a playlist with their favourite songs at dinner, or decorating the house with the little touches, such as petals or fizz.

Focus on Each Other

As much as it’s tempting to focus on the gifts on valentine’s day, spending quality time together is hugely important in keeping the romance throughout the day. Think about some activities that you both enjoy and spend time doing them together. If you’re looking to get out of the house, think about going to a museum, or perhaps replicate your first date at the cinema or your favourite bar.

Another way to increase the romance is to spend some time together in the kitchen. A fun way to relax is to bake something together like these Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake or Blueberry-Cardamom Donut Holes.

Thoughtful Gestures

A great way to elevate your valentine’s day is to show your love with gestures. Think about something that they’d really appreciate, perhaps take the dog for a walk or draw a bath with a candle and bath oils. Perhaps wake up early and do some chores you’ve been putting off about the house, replace the batteries in the remote, or unload the dishwasher.

Spend extra time asking about how your other half is feeling, and try to avoid using your phone, even if you’re just sat watching a movie together. All these little gestures will add up and show your partner they have your full attention throughout the day.

Embrace the Romance!

Whether you decide to splash out on Valentine’s day and take your partner out or decide on an intimate night in, using these tips throughout the day should help to take your romance to the next level. Remember to think about what your partner would appreciate the most and try to go above and use these tips beyond their expectations.

📍Snaps from our stay at @deadwoodcabins 🤠🇺🇸🌵 a dreamy Wild West inspired retreat in rural Lincolnshire with the cutest cabins, cosy log fires and the best neighbours Dolly and Doris 🐷 cannot recommend this place enough for a little glamping getaway 👌 it was so nice to have a bit of a digital detox - the cabins have games and a private BBQ (you can pre-order food for the BBQ which will be in your fridge when you arrive) so we spent the night cooking dinner and smores, playing scrabble and drinking mulled wine in front of the fire 🥰 there are three different cabins to choose from and all of them are filled with souvenirs and trinkets that make each one unique. There’s also a saloon if you want to go hang (BYOB or there’s an honesty box for beers from the fridge) and you can help yourself to fresh chicken eggs for breakfast too 🍳 thank you to @paarriiee for being such a lovely host, can’t wait to come back 🖤

‘Ndu Y’Olive Me? YES @nellspizza I do 🍕❤️ 
There’s some new menu items that have made it straight to the top of my faves list, including a chopped salad, moreish garlicky dough bites, and a pizza with nduja, olives, vodka sauce and basil 👌 ALSO the cocktails are SO underrated here - the margs are top tier and their new seasonal drinks are a must try. Will be back for the pistachio ice cream sandwich (so hard not to prioritise eating as much pizza as possible and save room for dessert but I will manage it one day) ✌️

NYC day 6 ✌️ 🖤 started with mimosas on our NYC day 6 ✌️
🖤 started with mimosas on our rooftop. Waking up to the nyc skyline is my fave.
🖤 we got the subway to @citifield to watch the @mets ⚾️🏟️ so much fun - would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting. The whole experience was one of my favourites of the trip.
🖤 A little wander and some vintage shops on the way back to the hotel before getting ready for dinner.
🖤 Dinner at @ivan_ramen 🍜👌 easily the best ramen I’ve ever had (thanks to @josgoncalves91 for the recommendation - SO glad I went here and would definitely recommend to anyone else. Watch the chefs table episode on Netflix.)
🖤 ended the eve with a couple of amazing cocktail bars - @superbuenonyc (no.2 in North America’s 50 best bars) and @attaboy134 (22 in the worlds 50 best bars)🍸 unsurprisingly both up there on my list of favourite cocktails. Also both really lovely atmospheres and would 10000% return. Attaboy have no menu but you just tell them what you like and what you’re in the mood for and they make you something incredible 👌 it’s also hidden behind a very normal looking door (last pic) so you gotta knock to get in.
Superbueno is Mexican-American, a really fun vibe and also serve food 🌮

Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 one my favourite evenings at one of my favourite spots, and the food is so so good. The menu is mostly small plates (with some biggies in there too) so it’s perfect for sharing with some bottles of wine ofc. 💕
My faves are the Tuna Crudo, BBQ Mackerel (the best mackerel I’ve ever eaten), the steak is 10/10 and honestly Evelyn’s is one of my fave places for the veggie dishes! Oh and the lamb. AND the dessert! Okay I’ll stop. If the fact that every dish on the menu being great isn’t enough to get you there, they also offer 50% off wine 5-7pm weekdays 🍷 which is surely one of the best happy hours in town?! 
20/10 always great and this menu might be the best yet!
