A Parent’s Perfect Valentine’s Night In

Valentine’s Day as a parent? It’s all about getting creative and making the most of the little moments between the chaos. Forget the expensive babysitters and crowded restaurants—this year, let’s make it a romantic night in, where you can unwind, sip, and eat without any distractions (or at least fewer!).

Start with a glass of wine, because, let’s face it, you’ve earned it. Rewild Rose is your perfect sidekick—light, fruity, and just the thing for chilling out after a day of toddler tantrums or school runs. Or, if you’re feeling a little more fancy, pop open some Rewild Prosecco for that sparkling ‘parenting win’ feeling. You’ve survived the week, and you deserve it!

For something that’s good for the planet (and even better for your soul), try Tread Softly wines. These eco-friendly bottles will make you feel like you’re doing something extra kind for the Earth—plus, every six bottles sold, they plant a tree. So, every sip of their Pinot Noir or Rosé is essentially saving the planet, right?

Next, it’s time to cook up something that’ll make your kids jealous they’re in bed already. Humpty Doo Barramundi is the star of the show, because who needs oysters when you can have crispy, fresh Crumbed Barramundi Bites with sweet potato fries? You can even go all out with a BBQ Barramundi and smoky corn salsa—flavours that’ll have you feeling like you’re on a tropical getaway while your kids are tucked in bed (finally).

For dessert, keep it simple but show-stopping with Nutella Sponge Cake Crepes. Think crispy crepes with golden roasted apples and a swirl of Nutella®. It’s the kind of treat that says, “I may be a parent, but I’m still romantic, alright?”

Now, let’s talk glassware. If you’re serving these drinks in anything less than Luigi Bormioli 20’s Signature Cocktail Glasses, are you even having a Valentine’s Day? These stylish glasses will make every sip feel like a moment of glamour, even if the baby monitor is buzzing in the background.

For those of you planning a Galentine’s (because, really, your friends need a little love too!), you’ve got the drinks covered. Son of A Nun Zero Alcohol will give you all the flavours of a traditional lager, minus the hangover—because let’s be real, we need to keep it together. Or try NoSh Mango & Pineapple for that tropical vibe—perfect for sipping on while you share funny parenting stories.

And because no one’s too old for a cold beer (especially after a day of wiping snotty noses and negotiating bedtime), crack open a Yenda Pale Ale or Yenda Session Lager. It’s crisp, smooth, and will remind you that there are still small joys in life beyond the kids’ screen time.

So this Valentine’s Day, don’t sweat it—let’s toast to surviving the chaos of parenthood while enjoying great food, drinks, and the best company (even if that’s just you and your partner with a few quiet moments of peace). Here’s to love, laughter, and making it through another day of parenthood! 💕🍷
