With Valentine’s Day coming up soon, we’re all ready for a fun, relaxing weekend with our friends. But don’t forget these essential items to make your night perfect!

Streaming Services

Whether it’ s a movie night with the girls, a Netflix and chill session, or just a relaxing night by yourself, hop onto your favorite streaming service to find the perfect movie. Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video are all great options to scroll through endless cheesy rom-coms. Try a new favorite, like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and the sequel, P.S. I Still Love You, or choose a classic like Nicholas Sparks’s The Notebook.

Pillows & Blankets

Being comfy on Valentine’s Day is a necessity. Bundle up in your coziest PJs and surround yourself with all of the blankets and pillows available. Whether you are cuddling up with your significant other or friends, or just treating yourself to a night of self-care, pillows and blankets will make it 10x better. To top it off, throw in one of those life-size Teddy Bears that are basically just adorable body pillows. They make the best gifts!

Food & Drinks

You can’t have a comfy-cozy movie night without snacks! Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to stock up on all things chocolate, from chocolate chip cookies to chocolate-covered strawberries — two of my personal favorites. If you are 21 or over, a bottle of wine is sure to keep everyone in good spirits, and if you’re still under the legal drinking age, a nice sparkling juice or cider is sure to do the trick.

No matter who you are spending the holiday with, include these essentials to make it a memorable night! And don’t forget to give some love to the most important person this Valentine’s Day — you!
