A night out with your girlfriends is fun, but it can get expensive and most certainly result in an unbearable hangover. If you're long overdue for a catch-up with your friends, why not invite them over for a girls' night in? From a chick-flick marathon to a spa night, there are many ways to make your night in just as fun as clubbing.
5. Watch a chick flick
Let's start with the girls' night in staple: the good old chick flick. Sure, these are not the most ambitious films ever made but did European arthouse cinema ever get you through a break-up? Thought so.
To spare you the frantic scrolling through Netflix, here are some film suggestions for all types of chick flick fans. If you're feeling nostalgic, watch the rom-com classics like When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and A Funeral, You've Got Mail, Bridget Jones's Diary, or 50 First Dates.
Looking for something more modern? Give new Netflix releases a try: To All the Boys I've Loved Before, Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, Isn't It Romantic, and Always Be My Maybe.
Pro-tip: If you picked a film just to realise it's not hosted on British Netflix, try a VPN. Short for Virtual Private Network, VPN lets you bypass geo-blocking and access the Netflix film directory in other countries.
4. Get crafty
Doing crafts together is a guaranteed way to have a good laugh and unleash your inner child. Does anyone in your group have a hidden talent? If you've got artsy friends, ask them to prepare a simple workshop for the group. You can even plan a few differently themed crafting nights and take turns to teach each other.
