Celebrating Love in Lockdown | Valentine's Day with Moonpig
Disclaimer: Although we've bought lots of cards and gifts from Moonpig over the years; I was sent a selection of Valentine's gifts and a gift voucher to help create this post. The review words and opinions are my own. All photos are copyright property of Me Becoming Mum.
Date night ideas
Get outdoors
Just remember, during this lockdown it can only be once for exercise at the moment. Lockdown puts a lot of pressure on all of us, and getting out for exercise and fresh air is good for everyone's mental health. Walk hand in hand and breath in the crisp winter's air before heading home to snuggle up together and warm up (because let's be honest, it's freezing at this time of year.) I'll be honest, this may sound more romantic than in reality, especially if you have to share it with loud and lively children who need your supervision. However we'll roll with it!
Cook their favourite meal
Especially if they usually cook
Champagne and canapés
Staying in is the new going out
Sweet scents and hot soaks
P.S. These slabs come as part of a gift set from Moonpig and and the perfect pamper kit for your lover. Plus they’re vegan friendly!
Have an early night
I know this is easier said than done for those of us with children, but it is worth a try! It can be easy to just chill in front of the TV in the evening, exhausted from a day of homeschooling, loud, boisterous (slightly feral) children, housework and more but instead, why not head to bed with your other half? If you're feeling a little adventurous you can even check out Moonpig's 18+ gifts from novelty sweets to books to give you a helping hand.
Don't forget a gift (or two)
You can't go wrong with flowers
Chocolates are always a winner
Or a sweet treat, anyway!
Is there really a better gift than one which you can eat? I think you'll all agree with me when I say that lockdown is not a time to be stingy with the treats… if anything it's a time to allow yourself to indulge. We have to enjoy something, right? From chocolates and fudge to sweets and even shortbread Moonpig has you covered when it comes to satisfying that sweet tooth for a Valentine's Day in lockdown.
If you live apart
Order gifts straight to their door
Lockdown has made it harder than ever for those in a relationship who live apart. From those with partners in the forces, to the many who are in the early stages of dating. Trying to keep the spark alive when you're apart from the one you love is no easy task, so why not send a reminder of your love straight to their door? Moonpig have a wide variety of gifts from alcohol and chocolates to flowers and soft toys which can be sent to you or another address, all you have to do is choose where to send it and input the details!
Don't forget the card
You can choose a design to suit you and your partner. From the loved-up soppy ones to the downright cheeky, there is a card design to suit every couple.
You can choose the size too. Whether you just want a budget friendly small card, or upgrade to a giant, in-your-face, totally extra card Moonpig have you covered.
You can personalised the card. From adding your own photos, to writing a soppy message to your loved one inside these cards can be adapted to your preferences.
You can get it delivered direct to them. Just the same as with their gifts, Moonpig allow you to select where to send the card you choose, either to you or directly to your lover.
Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day, or choose to use these ideas just to have a date night I hope I've inspired you with a few ways to keep the spark alive during lockdown.
