Valentine’s Day is nearly upon us, but rather than booking a meal for two at your favorite restaurant, there’s nothing more romantic than taking the time to cook for your loved one.

While I’ll leave you to decide on the meal plan, I can help you with creating an intimate mood with tableware. What’s more, everything I’ve picked is from IKEA, so you’ll have plenty left in your pocket to buy a Valentine’s gift. My top three choices out of the bunch have to be the dinnerware set, table runner and bread basket, but at these prices, you could sweep up the whole collection.
