While Valentine's Day traditionally celebrates romantic love, we believe it's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all forms of love, especially within the family. Here's our guide to making this day special for everyone in your household.

Valentine's Day for the Whole Family

The beauty of family Valentine's Day celebrations lies in their ability to strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. We can transform this romantic holiday into an inclusive celebration that teaches children about expressing love and gratitude. Whether you're planning activities for young children or teenagers, there are countless ways to make the day meaningful for everyone.

Fun Family Valentine's Day Activities

Creating Valentine's Day traditions can become a cherished part of your family's calendar. Why not start a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt around the house, with sweet treats and loving messages hidden in various locations? Card-making sessions allow children to express their creativity while crafting heartfelt messages for family members and friends. These activities help children understand that love extends beyond romantic relationships.

First Valentine's Day with a Baby

Your first Valentine's Day as parents is truly special. While romantic dinners might be replaced with earlier mealtimes, you can create new traditions that include your little one. Consider taking special family photos, creating handprint or footprint art, or simply enjoying a cozy evening together with special treats from our Fruit Nut and Cookie Gift Basket, complete with delicious Folkington's juices and Lizzie's freshly baked cookies.

Delicious Valentine's Day Treats to Make Together

The kitchen often becomes the heart of family celebrations. Baking together creates both delicious treats and precious memories. Simple recipes like heart-shaped biscuits or chocolate-dipped strawberries are perfect for little helping hands. For those seeking a ready-made selection of sweets, our Chocolate Collection Gift Tower, featuring Lindt Lindor truffles and Lily O'Brien's chocolates, provides a luxurious treat for the whole family to share.

Creating a Cozy Valentine's Day at Home

Transform your living space into a haven of love and comfort. Create a family fort with blankets and pillows, perfect for storytelling or watching favourite films together. Dim the lights, light some child-safe LED candles, and enjoy sharing stories about what you love most about each other.

Spreading Love Beyond the Home

Valentine's Day offers an excellent opportunity to teach children about spreading kindness beyond immediate family. Encourage them to make cards for grandparents, create care packages for elderly neighbours, or participate in community acts of kindness. These activities help children understand the importance of showing love to others in their community.

Hampers for Celebrating Family on Valentine's Day

When selecting the perfect Valentine's Day gift for the family, consider a luxury hamper that everyone can enjoy together. Our carefully curated selection includes options suitable for all ages, from fresh fruit and cookies to decadent chocolates. We understand that sharing good food brings families together, which is why our hampers feature items that appeal to both young and old.

Remember, you can always personalise our hampers to suit your family's preferences, ensuring everyone's favourite treats are included in your celebration. Whether you're planning an elaborate day of activities or a simple evening of sharing treats and stories, the most important ingredient is spending quality time together.

This Valentine's Day, let's celebrate all forms of love and create memories that will last a lifetime. After all, family love is one of the most precious gifts we can share.
