How to Have a Cozy Night In this Valentine’s Day

A Cozy Valentine’s Day

Like with most holidays lately, Valentine’s is likely to be a quiet affair. While I do enjoy going out for for dinner on holidays like this, it is also nice to have a quiet and cozy night in. For Valentine’s Day this year, I’m looking forward to making some good food (I’m thinking of trying this vegan parmesan gnocchi recipe), sipping on some nice wine or beer, and generally having a cozy night in with Brett and the kitties. I’m thinking of treating the kitties for Valentine’s Day, as well, with some of their favorite nip!

How to Have a Cozy Night In

While you can find some cute gift sets and a variety of tips out there for cozy nights in, I think that no cozy night in is complete without a lovely tea. I have this cute green Pinky Up kettle (it made an appearance here before). It makes the perfect amount of tea (20 ounces) and is easy to clean. Pair your tea (this is one of my go-to favorites) with some nice bath and an audiobook or podcast (I had to get the Baby Yoda speaker in here somehow!). Then, you’ll be the epitome of cozy.

Must-Have Cozy Night In Styles

I’ve started eyeing some replacement pieces for my hang-out clothesWhether it’s a cozy sweatshirt or sweater, a nap dress, or a cute and coordinated jogger and sweater set, find something that makes you feel good and go from there.

What to Do for a Cozy Night In

Movies and Netflix marathons are always a great idea for a cozy night in, as is answering this fun list of favorites with your partner. Watch something new and intriguing, catch up on a series (such as A Discovery of Witches), or go with a feel good favorite.

Puzzles have been incredibly popular since we all started staying home more, and Madewell has a number of great options. Brett and I have been loving backgammon lately (we have this set) — it’s a fun way to spend time together without staring at the TV all night.

Getting crafty is a great option, too! Try your hand at knitting with a colorful, guided We Are Knitters kit or pick up some crochet instructions from your local craft store.

Whatever you do, I hope you enjoy the opportunity to have a cozy night in!
