Valentine's Day family activity ideas
If you have young children, then a romantic, quiet and relaxing Valentine’s Day may not be an option for you. Here are our top Valentine's Day activity ideas for all the family to create some very special memories together this year.
get crafty with DIY Valentine's Day cards
Why not have a go at making Valentine's Day cards as a family this year?
Raid the craft box for as many pink, red and white items as you can find - create hearts, flowers, get crazy with creativity! Simply fold a piece of card in half and decorate as you each see fit.
This is a great opportunity to reuse and upcycle old bits of card, tissue paper or remnants of Christmas wrapping. Cut, glue, colour and have fun in getting stuck-in and a bit messy! Then, it’s time to write your cards. Fill them with an all-important message, reminding those special people in your life just how much you love and appreciate them this Valentine's Day.
If you haven't got such a way with words, then be sure to check our blog post about Valentine’s Day card messages to inspire what to write.
enjoy dining out (whilst staying in!)
A posh meal out may not be an option with younger children, but that’s not to say you can’t recreate the experience at home. So why not take this opportunity to get the kids involved in recreating a restaurant meal out, from the comforts of your very own home?
Help your children set up their own exclusive restaurant, with a beautifully decorated table, neatly folded linen and gourmet delights to top it all off. Whether they want to play the role of maitre d', head chef, or discerning guest, they'll love being part of the Valentine's Day fun!
For the ultimate easy night in, with minimal prep and washing up (sounds like a dream, we know), take a look at our range of gourmet hampers, perfect for a Valentine's date night treat. Explore our luxury themed hampers, like our Spanish Tapas Food & Wine Hamper featuring a plethora of gourmet Spanish treats, from a mild chorizo horseshoe and chorizo sticks to Torres' indulgent black truffle crisps, creamy alioli, and delectable rosemary & sea salt crackers.
With everything ready to serve, take your seats and let your children be the waiters and/or waitresses – taking your ‘orders’ and serving your meal. And for afters, we highly recommend some strong coffee and indulgent chocolates. After all, it is Valentine's Day; it'd be rude not to...
enjoy an afternoon tea in the park
If your loved ones are partial to a slice (or two) of cake, fruity scones laden with thick clotted cream and sweet strawberry jam and buttery biscuits perfect for dunking into a strong brew, then we have just the answer to your Valentine's Day plans.
Take a trip to the local park with one of our wonderful Luxury Afternoon Tea With Prosecco Hamper. Already packed up in a beautiful wicker basket and ready to go, this wonderful Valentine's Day hamper is full of sweet treats and sparkling fizz for you and the family to enjoy.
With handmade fudge, millionaire's caramel shortbread, lemon drizzle flapjack and a bottle of something extra special, there's something for both the adults and the children to cherish.
cosy up for a family film night
This Valentine's Day, it’s time to snuggle up on the sofa for your favourite family movie. If going out is going to be difficult this year, why not bring the essence of a cinema trip with some special sweet treats? Make it even more luxurious and exclusive with gourmet popcorn and retro sweets in innovative flavours.
We love our Decadent Hot Chocolate Gift Hamper and think it's the perfect addition to a Valentine's Day film night for all the family. Winter might be coming to an end, but the nights are still dark and cold. So, wrap your fingers around a warm mug of hot cocoa, piled high with whipped cream and gooey vanilla bean marshmallows as the fire warms your toes and your favourite film plays out.
