Usually around this time of year, most of us are enjoying reservations at our favorite restaurant for Valentine’s Day or getting together with friends and loved ones. With many places still not open and some of us not ready to go out just yet, there are still plenty of other ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home.

Night of Baking

Baking together on Valentine’s Day makes for a sweet and memorable night. Baketivity’s Cupcake Kit is the perfect go-to and comes with everything you need including sugar, flour, and baking powder, as well frosting, sprinkles, and candy—which all turn into the awesome Love Bug cupcakes. The best part is, after the fun adventure of baking together, you’ll be rewarded with delicious cupcakes that you can enjoy!

Art has the powerful ability to transport us to another time and place. While you may not be able to go to your favorite museum in person just yet, the next best thing is a virtual tour—which opens you up to so many possibilities. Travel+Leisure covers 12 virtual 3D tours of the top museums all over the world like The British Museum, Guggenheim, Musée d’Orsay, and so many other magical spots. Pair your virtual museum tour with a bottle of wine and you’re in for a fun night!

Wine Recommendation For The Evening: 

McBride Sisters’ Sauvignon Blanc is refreshing and refined, making it the perfect companion to go along with your virtual museum tour. 

A Romantic Picnic in Your Backyard

Create your own magical oasis by going on a picnic in your own backyard. All you need is a home charcuterie board with your favorite fixings (see recipe here), a comfy blanket, comfy pillows, and hang up some lights for extra ambiance. A picnic basket always makes for a nice touch as well!

How to Create the Perfect Charcuterie Board

If you’re feeling extra spicy, pop open your favorite bottle of champagne or wine. Having a picnic under the stars or a candlelit dinner in your backyard will add an extra element of romance to an already special evening!

Movie Night

While it probably feels like ages since you’ve been to an actual movie theater, you can create your own movie night at home. Set up a cozy spot in the living room with blankets and your favorite movie theater snacks or if you’re able to set up a projector in your backyard, you can watch a movie together under the stars! Another fun option if you want a little more adventure? Check out a drive-in movie theater.
