How to Do Lockdown Valentine’s Date Night In
Staying in this Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a bad thing. These 10 products will make for a memorable and romantic date night in.
Everything you need for a romantic night in
Valentine’s Day 2021 is going to be different. There’s no going out to romantic restaurants or watching romcoms at the cinema. It’s going to be behind closed doors… but, when we put it like that, it doesn’t sound bad at all.
Spending time indoors doesn’t have to kill the romance like socks in bed. In fact, it’s a great opportunity to plan the perfect night in. Start out with making a delicious meal together and having a few drinks, then play some games and top it all off with a movie.
Only problem is, where will you get everything you need to pull off this romantic night? Oh, that’s right, directly under this!
1. Make Your Own Mojito
Want to set the mood with a tasty cocktail? This Make Your Own Mojito mix is the perfect way to do it. It has all the flavouring and ingredients you need already in the bottle. Just add some rum and mixer, shake it, and you’ve got an instant mojito!
2. Diamond Glasses – 2 Pack
Diamonds used to just be a girl’s best friend. Now they’re adored by rappers and, well, everyone else in the world. So, you can’t go wrong serving a special Valentine’s drink in a couple of glass tumblers shaped to look like diamonds. Made from borosilicate glass and holding 350 ml each, these glasses are sure to add a touch of class to your evening.
3. Punjabi Curry Kit
If you want to spice up your Valentine’s Day, you can’t go wrong with this Punjabi Curry Kit. Perfect for bringing Punjabi cooking into your kitchen, this kit makes 12 delicious dishes in six different styles. It contains the ingredients and recipes you need and even has tips for gluten-free cooking.
4. Maki Master
If you prefer your eastern cuisine a little less on the spicy side, a bit of sushi would work a treat. The Maki Master is a perfect way to make sushi quickly and easily. Simply fill it with rice, press a groove down the centre of the rice, fill it with your favourite ingredients, push out the tube, slice it, and serve!
5. Football Style Table Air Hockey
After dinner it’s time for some fun. And, no, that’s not lifted from a Tinder bio. We’re talking about this football-themed table air hockey kit, which you don’t need a whole machine to play.
The football-style electronic puck hovers on any flat surface and comes with some football goals, so you can work in a little comment about you two being a perfect (football) match. Romance tip: jokes about trying to score might not go down as well as you hope.
6. Portable Indoor Curling Table-top Game
Games based on ice don’t have to kill the heat. Bring out this game of mini curling after dinner for some excitement. We’re sure you can think of ways to spice up the ice and get things steamy.
7. Mini Basketball Game
If you and your partner are games fans who usually like a Valentine’s Day in the arcade, you’re in luck. This game brings arcade basketball to your home, using its sound effects and light-up scoreboard to complete the arcade feel.
If you really want to up the romance, play around with the idea of basketball courtship. And, maybe keep the jokes about rebounds to a minimum.
8. Now That's What I Call Music Board Game
Now That's What I Call Music Board Game
Fun for a pair of music lovers (see what we did there?), this game is based on music from the ‘80s, ‘90’s, and 21st century. It’s about music trivia… and a whole lot more. Yes, you’ll have to guess songs, but you’ll also have to mime song titles and sing covers.
9. Incohearent Party Game
How good are you at deciphering slurred speech? If you’re a pro, then you’ll be great at Incohearent. In this game, you have to make sense out of what seems like a bunch of random syllables. If the drinks have been flowing all night, this will be a particularly hilarious game to play!
10. Smartphone Projector 2.0 in Black – Only at Menkind
Since you can’t go the movies this Valentine’s Day, bring the movies to your home! This smartphone projector delivers the classic movie style projection using only your mobile phone. Simply play a movie on your phone, pop it in the projector, and it’ll display it on your wall!
One thing to note, if you like foreign cinema with subtitles, is that the projector flips the image. So, subtitles and other text will display backwards.
