Date Night Box

If you find yourself indoors, a date night box is the perfect way to keep yourselves entertained!

Basically, a date night box is an interesting box of goodies delivered to your door including various fun games for couples, challenges and activities for you and your partner to enjoy around the table in the comfort of your own house!

It may sound a little boring but some date night boxes are super creative and fun (some sexy date night games for married couples and some PG rated games for new couples). Plus it takes all the hard work out for you (which I love!!).

Some of the best date night boxes include:

• Unbox Love Date Night Box
• Love Drop Date Night Box

Pizza and Wine

Don’t feel like cooking but want a fun, romantic date night in?

Order a pizza from a pizzeria or pick one up at the store that you just pop in the oven.

Another romantic idea might be to make a pizza together. Now how fun would that be!

After all, homemade pizza is the MOST delicious. Here is a great homemade pizza recipe if you choose that option.

Break out some wine. Turn the lights down low, and put on some smooth music.

Pizza and wine is one of the can’t fail recipes for a special night. One of the best late night date ideas when you are starving!

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR PIZZA AND WINE DATE NIGHT:

• A great recipe + ingredients, frozen pizza or pizza delivery number 😉
• Wine
• Our favourite pizza making utensils for couples

Mmm, that pizza is making me hungry!

Fun Date Night Games

Poker, slap jack, black jack, go fish, speed, or double speed…whatever “suits” your fancy. Choose one or play all these games for date night!

Our personal favorite card games are Hearts or UNO. One of our first dates together was playing cards so it feels a bit nostalgic.

It is always good to keep it fresh and interesting with a new card game. The old family favourites can get boring after a while.

We love this new Fun & Romantic Card Game for Couples for example.

Throw in some cold drinks and snacks and you got a fun home date night on your hands (great for a unique valentine gift which you can use year-round).

HOW TO PREPARE:

• Fun & Romantic Card Game for Couples or another card game that takes your fancy!
• Cold drinks

Read aloud together

Pick a couple of your favourite books to read together. I mean how romantic is that on a night around home?

My favorites are Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jane Austen, Francine Rivers, and Cliff Graham for a romantic date night.

If you don’t know which books are just right, ask your librarian to help you. Reading is one of the best date night at home ideas!

Choose a genre you’re both interested in and chances are she/he can probably help you find some really great options. They always know just the right books to pick.

A romantic genre is always a good option for a date!

Have you ever heard of the idea of Love Languages? Neither had we until just recently.

Basically, there are 5 Love Languages (ways that people express love). It is cool to find out what is you and your partner’s love language. 

The 5 Love Languages book would make fun reading together on a date!

One of our favourite romantic date night ideas in your own home for her for sure. And hey, he might just enjoy it too!

HOW TO PREPARE:

• A good book such as Love Languages
• A hot cuppa or coffee
• Snacks

Board games (with or without the family)

Family favs like Catan, Monopoly, Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, Life, Twister, Chess, Checkers, Would you Rather…, Brainiac, or other board games are also fun for two. One of the best nerdy date ideas if you ask me!

As with the card games, it is always good to keep it fresh and interesting. We love mixing up our date nights with new and interesting board games. If you have heard of a new one recently let us know in the comments below!

Not exactly a board game but we recently came across these cool thought provoking conversation starters.

There is nothing more snuggly and romantic than a couple in robes right – and it’s perfect for valentine’s day.

Blind Taste Testing

Each make a few mini meals for the other to try. One of the best and most fun ideas for home.

A cool idea is to have a rating card where you can both rate the food out of 10. Be nice or this night not turn out to the quite the date you hoped for.

Pick some hard flavours and get each other to pick the food or dish! Super fun and well a little frustrating!

Find something unusual to buy together online

Do you want to adopt a new pet or perhaps buy something new and nice for your house.

Prepare some nibbles, your favourite drink and have fun searching the web for new products to buy!

Movie night (WHAT WE SAID ANYTHING BUT?)

Does that of the 50 + above dates sound rubbish to you?

Okay we can go back to a movie, I guess…

Who doesn’t love gettin’ cozy on the couch with some popcorn, drinks, and candy and having a movie night in your living room? Turn the volume up, and put your chairs front and center.

No fighting for good seats, no missing any parts of the movie because you have to pee, and you can even subtitle it if you want!

Cheap Dates @ Home

We know from experience that it is hard when you are low on money planning a fun date night.

Staying home on your date night may be a necessity when times are tough.

Although it may feel like it at the time, we have learnt over the years money does not buy a good date – it definitely comes down to the attitude of both parties and whether you are open and willing to have a fun, low cost date night at home!

Trust me, it still will be AWESOME if you go into the date with a positive mindset.

Our favourite low cost date night ideas in are definitely an indoor picnic, a spa date or a movie marathon with all the extras.

If you are feeling like getting a bit more creative, a blanket fort is a really fun cheap plan. Remember this as a kid? It was SO fun!

Create the best fort/cubby house together with sheets, blankets and pillows, set some mood lighting and snuggle up together for a movie and snacks. 

If you are more into romance than cutesy fun, we would suggest having a candle lit bubble bath together. Put a cheap scented bath bomb in to make it smell delicious and inviting!
