We know that Valentine\u2019s Day often means the stress of finding the perfect card, something that says \u2018I Love You\u2019 but not in a sickly sweet way. Finding the perfect <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/gift-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gift<\/a>, not too big, not too small and booking your favourite restaurant in advance, only to find that when you arrive on time you still have to wait half an hour to be seated. But, just because it\u2019s Valentine\u2019s day doesn\u2019t mean you have to go out. It\u2019s true! Why not try something different this year and stay in. With our simple hints and tips you can create the perfect, romantic night in with your partner this Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<h2>The Mood<\/h2>\n<p>Create the mood with lots (and we mean lots!) of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/candle-holders-and-lanterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">candles<\/a> both scented and unscented. You want to have a nice aroma but not so much that it\u2019s overpowering. Max Benjamin, Bog Standard and The Homemade Soap Company have a fantastic range of floral scents that are perfect for Valentine\u2019s. Dot some lanterns among the candles to add a bit of depth to the scene.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1976\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1976\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Max-Benjamin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1976\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Max-Benjamin-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Max Benjamin Persian Rose candle, \u20ac21.95\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Max-Benjamin-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Max-Benjamin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Max-Benjamin-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Max-Benjamin-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Max-Benjamin-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Max-Benjamin.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1976\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/homeware\/max-benjamin-persian-rose-candle\/\">Max Benjamin Persian Rose candle, \u20ac21.95<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1974\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1974\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pillar.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1974\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pillar-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Carson pillar holder \u2013 medium, \u20ac120\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pillar-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pillar-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pillar-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pillar.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1974\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/homeware\/carson-pillar-holder-medium\/\">Carson pillar holder \u2013 medium, \u20ac120<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cosy, soft d\u00e9cor is a must when creating your romantic Valentine\u2019s day haven in your home.
