This winter, it can be really tempting to curl up with a good book by the fire. But at the same time, you might also want to meet up with friends and enjoy some company. A cosy night at home, whether it is a night to yourself or with friends can be a great way to wind down after a long day. Here are five ideas for a cosy night in.
- Plan a pamper night
There are plenty of ways to create a comfortable, relaxing spa-like evening at home without spending a lot of money. Start by lighting some candles and using calming scents such as lavender or chamomile. Choose relaxing music to accompany you throughout the night. To make sure you spend time on your own, switch off the phone and put your device down for an hour or two. Relax in a hot bath with your favourite bath salts and scented oils or enjoy a face mask. Have a warm drink, such as chamomile tea or hot chocolate, before you go to bed to help you relax and get to sleep faster.
- Host a dinner party or movie night
Invite your friends and family over for a night of great food and great entertainment. You can also turn this into a competition and have your friends bring dishes to eat and drink together. You could also host a movie night complete with popcorn and snacks or plan a viewing party for your favourite TV shows.

- Make hot chocolate with a homemade twist
There’s nothing quite like a warm mug of chocolate on a cold winter’s night. Top it off with marshmallows and whipped cream for the perfect winter treat.
- Host a wine and cheese tasting
Is there anything better than wine and cheese? Find out by hosting your own wine and cheese tasting party with your friends. You and your friends will be able to taste different wines and learn about what makes each wine unique.
- Stay warm with board games
There’s nothing like a good game of Monopoly or a board game with your family. Try some classic games or some new ones you have never explored before.
- Host a clothes swap party
Do you and your girlfriends have a lot of clothes, but don’t know what to do with them all? Are you sick of wearing the same things day in and day out? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then a clothes swap party is for you. Your party can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. Simply ask your friends to bring whatever clothes they want, but only items which are still in good condition. They have a rummage, you’re sure to find some unloved treasures. Provide some nibbles and refreshments and your guests will have a great time no matter what they find.
- Make a fort in the living room
This is one for the entire family and a great rainy-day activity too. Nothing says cosy quite like a good old fort. Set up blankets and pillows around your living room and make an indoor fort where you can snuggle up with your friends and watch your favourite movies. You could even enjoy a nice, cosy sleep! Finally, most importantly, make sure you have lots of blankets to keep you warm and comfy during your cosy night in.
