Whether you’re planning a relaxing day at home with your partner or are looking for virtual date ideas, these last-minute ideas are sure to make February 14th extra special.

Valentine’s Day lockdown ideas for couples living together

If you and your partner find yourselves confined to the same four walls this Valentine’s Day, we’ve put together some of our favourite ideas to help make your day as romantic as possible!

Enjoy breakfast in bed

One of the benefits of this lockdown is without a doubt those lazy mornings spent in bed! Take a breather this Valentine’s Day and relax a little – you’ve earned it! You and your partner could enjoy your favourite breakfast in bed, whether you decide to cook it yourself or order in from a local takeaway! Pancakes, anyone? 

Recreate your favourite spa day

If you can’t head to the spa, why not bring the spa to you? For a completely chilled Valentine’s Day, we’d recommend taking a bubble bath, putting on a face mask and enjoying an evening of pure relaxation with your other half.

Go for a walk

If sitting around the house isn’t really your thing, why not head out for a romantic walk in your local area with your partner? Enjoying each other’s company surrounded by nature is a stress-free way to enjoy Valentine’s Day in lockdown.

Create your own cocktails

Hosting your own cocktail making masterclass is one of our favourite ideas for Valentine’s Day in lockdown! You could try recreating some of your favourite cocktails, from a traditional mint Mojito to a fruity Pornstar Martini. If you’re feeling brave, you could even have a go at making your own concoctions!
