Maisie Janes Guide to girls’ night

Posted on : July 30th, 2024

There’s something magical about girl’s night, whether it’s a night out on the town or a cozy evening in with your closest friends. While going out to a nice restaurant and enjoying a glass of wine is always a treat, there’s a special charm to staying in, putting on your comfiest pajamas, and indulging in delicious food, delightful drinks, and great company. In this blog, we’ll share the best ways to elevate your girl’s night in, ensuring it’s an evening to remember! 

Delicious Eats for a Cozy Night In 

Food is undoubtedly the most important part of any girl’s night, and there are so many delicious options to choose from. If you’re a pasta lover, you’re in for a treat! We offer the most delectable pasta, made in Italy with traditional recipes. Our lemon and basil-flavored pasta is a standout, perfect for tossing with our favorite Triple Play Garlic Olive Oil. Sprinkle some Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomato Tuscan Rub on top for a burst of flavor. The best part? This pasta is light and traditional Italian, so you won’t have to worry about feeling bloated the next day! 

A girl’s night in isn’t complete without a charcuterie board. We have the perfect fixings to create a mouth-watering spread! Introducing our brand-new salami from Foustman’s, a family-owned business in San Juan Bautista. With unique styles and flavors like 5 Alarm Habanero, Cabernet Wine, and Fennel & Pepper, there’s something for everyone. Pair these with some smoky mozzarella or dry jack cheese from Rumiano’s, and sprinkle around some of Maisie Jane’s Herb and Garlic Almonds. Add fresh grapes or berries, and voilà—a simple yet elegant grazing board ready for the night! 

Perfect Pairings: Drinks to Complement Your Meal

No girl’s night is complete without the perfect drinks to complement your meal. For wine lovers, we have some exceptional local vineyards to choose from. Our Bertagna Son Kissed Vineyards Sangiovese is a Chianti-style red that’s smooth, supple, and easy to drink, with hints of cherry and vanilla. For white wine lovers, the Bertagna Son Kissed Vineyards Pinot Grigio is delightfully crisp with hints of green apple, citrus, and refreshing grapefruit accents, offering a balanced, dry, and fruity finish. 

Not into wine? No worries! We’ve got you covered with some fantastic local beer. Our local brewery, Rable West, offers the Ramble West Poppy’s Pale Ale, a sessionable Pale Ale bursting with flavor. This beer has a light toasted biscuit start that quickly gives way to grapefruit and floral notes, making it a refreshing choice for your girl’s night in. 

Fun Activities to Keep the Night Going 

After indulging in delicious food and drinks, it’s time for some fun activities! If you’re in the mood to go out, Chico has some fantastic options. One of the most exciting local businesses is Chico Escape Rooms. They offer a variety of themed rooms where you and your friends can work together to solve puzzles and escape. Whether you want to dress up or stay comfy in your pajamas, it’s a fun 60-minute brain puzzle that’s perfect for bonding with your friends. 

Prefer to stay in? No problem! A classic movie marathon is a great way to unwind. Think of iconic rom-coms and musicals that you and your friends can enjoy together. Grease is always a hit—who can resist singing along to “Tell me more, tell me more, like does he have a car?” Other classics like Pretty in Pink, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and Pretty Woman are perfect for a night of laughs and nostalgia. Grab some blankets, pop some popcorn, and get ready for a night of fun, laughter, and maybe even a few tears, depending on your movie choices. 

Making the Most of Your Girl’s Night 

A girl’s night in is the perfect opportunity to relax, indulge, and enjoy the company of your best friends. With delicious food, delightful drinks, and fun activities, you can create a memorable evening that’s all about comfort and connection. Whether you’re indulging in gourmet pasta and charcuterie, sipping on local wines and beers, solving puzzles at an escape room, or enjoying a cozy movie marathon, the most important thing is to have fun and cherish the time spent with your friends. 

At Maisie Jane’s, a woman-owned business, we’re proud to have an incredible team of women who share not just a workspace, but also beautiful friendships. As we celebrate National Friendship Day, we want to give a special shout-out to the amazing bonds our team members have formed with each other and with their friends outside of work. This girl’s night in is a perfect opportunity to honor and cherish those friendships, as there’s nothing more heartwarming than spending quality time with your best friends, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Here’s to the power of friendship and the joy it brings to our lives!

Cheers to great food, great drinks, and great friends!
