For some, February is a little bit ‘meh’.

The Month of Love can, at times, be a bit of downer. With shops painted head to toe in pink, hearts dotted everywhere you look, and even the humble meal deal boasting of a ‘romantic meal for two’, the countdown to Valentine’s Day can be a bit of a drag for some.

So, if the romantic feels aren’t sparking for you this year, we have an alternative, extra special date for you to pop in your planner.

February 13^th is Galentine’s Day – a worldwide celebration of those lovely ladies that light up your life. It’s a time to appreciate those who step up day in, day out, the ones who are always on the end of the phone to lift you after a long day.

Let’s set the scene.

Can you feel the love tonight? Why not hang Valentine’s inspired decorations around the room and share the love! Paper garlands and love heart confetti may be subtle, but they make a big difference when it comes to setting the scene. 

Everyone loves a trip out, but why get dressed up in your finest glad rags when you can have all the fun in the world in the comfort of your own home? A simple table runner can transform your everyday dining table to perfect setting for your girlie date day, making your night-in feel more like a night-out.

One for the gals.

Now’s the time to gather the gal pals because the season of sisterly love is officially upon us! And what better way to celebrate than with a cutesy, Sip & Paint session with your nearest and dearest?

The perfect combination of a girl’s night in with an artsy twist, Sip & Paint is the latest trend to sweep socials. With very little preparation needed, you can create a laid back, fun, affordable activity for you and your girls – simply pour the bubbles, grab an easel and paint brush, and let your creativity flow.

Vibrant lighting.

Every table needs a focal point, and our stylish blush pink lanterns are the perfect addition your evening. Complete with a soft flickering LED candle, these pastel pink metal lanterns are lightweight yet impactful and add an extra level of warmth to your setting. Why not move your girl’s night in outside to the garden? Simply pick up the lantern and take it with you to keep the romantic vibes flowing throughout the evening.

Incorporating levels is a great way to add depth to your tablescape, so we opted to pair these towering lanterns with simple battery-powered wooden heart fairy lights that rest above the table runner. This is a great way of adding additional details to all levels of the table, and your guests will always have something to admire. Conveniently battery powered and easy to move around, simply intertwine them through foliage or weave across the table to add something a bit different to your Galentine’s Day. 

Elegant candlelight.

Now you’ve set the scene, it’s time to set the mood.

Nothing says romance quite like candlelight, and our exclusive range of Ember Candles™ are the perfect companion to your Sip & Paint session.

Candles are a great addition to any tablescape, injecting an elegant yet toasty flare that will finish off your display with a feminine flourish. The ivory and white wax pairs perfectly with the splashes of pink throughout the table, and the combination of clear class with smooth wax adds another level of depth you may not have realised your setting needed. Set the candles to flicker, sit back and soak up every second of your Galentine’s Day celebrations together.
