Being treated to breakfast in bed is a luxury that many appreciate. To be allowed to stay in bed dreaming away while you hear the sounds coming from the kitchen and accompanied by the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Preparing a delicious breakfast tray for Valentine's Day at home with everything your sweetheart likes is both easy to prepare and sure to be appreciated, here you can also sneak in a small gift or some beautiful flowers to enhance that romantic feeling.

Up the romantic factor with your choice of porcelain and glasses to create a more luxurious feeling. It pays to spend a few minutes on the layout to make the whole thing a little more special.

Alternatively, you can also enjoy a wonderful breakfast at the kitchen table. In this case, a lovingly designed table decoration will ensure that the meal is something special. Choose the dishes carefully and surprise your guests with something out of the ordinary - far removed from the usual Sunday breakfast.

2. EXPRESS YOUR LOVE WITH A RELAXING HOME SPA

Surprise the light of your life with a relaxing home spa on Valentine's Day. A break from everyday life and all the must do’s is worth its weight in gold and so this is one of our top recommendations for a perfect Valentine’s Day at home. Run a warm bath, light some sumptuous candles and use diffuser sticks to spread a wonderful aroma around the room with inspiration from nature. Treat them to some luxurious new towels, a bath brush and maybe a lovely scrub or shower cream to create that cosy spa feeling. Then allow them to lay back and enjoy the silence, the warmth and the scents - either by alone or with the one you love the most.
