As the winter months begin to approach, we will all, unfortunately, be saying our goodbyes to beach dates, summer strolls in the park, and outdoor sporting adventures. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t be inventive with your dating and come up with fun and exciting ways to date indoors! Below we have listed our Top Five Ideas for Dates at Home which are easy, affordable, and enjoyable.
1. Have a Home Cinema Night.
This doesn’t mean just popping Netflix on and snuggling under a blanket. Have some fun and make an occasion of it by making up a huge bowl of popcorn, some pick and mix sweets, and your favourite fizzy drink in cinema-worthy portions.
You can even go one step further and set up your own cinema screen by investing in an affordable phone projector and having a white sheet on the wall. You’ll be able to watch your favourite cinema classic displayed on your wall and won’t have to worry about contending with sticky floors and giggling teenagers.
2. Put on An Indoor Picnic
Put on a summer spread in the middle of winter with all your favourite sarnies, tea cakes, and fruit salads that will help bring some sunny vibes into your room. So, get out the picnic basket, push the furniture to the edge of the room and settle back on some blankets and cushions, put on some summertime tunes, and treat yourselves to a laid-back evening.
3. Have a Weekly Book Club for Two!
If you are both readers, then why not set up your own private book club for two? Recommend your all-time favourite to each other or pick through the new releases which appeal to both of you. Then once a week settle down with some wine and snacks and have a cosy chat about what you thought. You’re bound to learn more about each other as the stories spark memories, debates, and your own tales which will last well into the night.
4. Have a Games Night
Take one evening to switch off all of your screens and enjoy some bonding time playing cards, solving a puzzle, or playing a board game. There are plenty of fun games on the market like the classics such as monopoly, clue, or battleships; or perhaps you could learn some new card games? Just make sure not to be too competitive, game nights should be about laughter and fun, not tantrums and arguments!
5. Have A Spa Night
If you are both feeling run down and overworked, why not treat yourselves to your very own spa night at home? Invest in some relaxing scented candles, put on some gentle music, and start off with a relaxing bath. You can give each other massages with scented oils, relax with cooling facemasks and indulge each other with a scalp massage. You’ll end the night feeling relaxed, calm, and at ease.
As it gets colder you might feel your motivation to go out in the evening starting to wane. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up on romance! Try our Top 5 Ideas for Dates for Homes and ensure you have fun all year round.
