11 Date Ideas For A Night In With Your Significant Other

Having a date night with your significant other can become a bit difficult with the pandemic, especially with many places closed. This means couples will have to find new and safe date ideas that they can have in the comfort of their own home. Luckily, there are tons of ways you can have a fun and romantic date night with the things you have at home. You can dedicate your night to one activity, or you can do a couple of fun activities throughout the day. Here are some fun and easy date nights you can have right at home. 

Cook Yourselves Dinner

If you miss having a sit down meal at a restaurant, you can still do that with the food you make at home. You can prepare the ingredients for a more fancy or complicated meal, or you can make some simple comfort food from the ingredients that you have at home. Afterwards, you can set up a candlelit table with music and wine for a relaxing and romantic dinner in the comfort of your own home, also saving you a ton of money.

Movie Marathon

One of the most relaxing and effortless ways to spend a night with your partner is to simply put on a set of movies. You can pop some popcorn and get out some other snacks, blankets and pajamas to have a cozy night of your favorite movies. You can put on a series of movies from the same storyline or franchise or you can turn on a few of your favorites. Either way, you can’t go wrong with a good lineup of films, snacks and blankets. 

Spa Night

If you’re looking for a relaxing night, try making yourselves a spa at home. Bring home some face masks, oils, serums, and exfoliants to help give your skin some relaxing rejuvenation. You can turn on your essential oil diffuser, light some candles and turn your bathroom into a relaxing atmosphere. This can help you destress for a second, and give you and your partner the skin boost you might need.

Have A Baking Session

If you want to cook but don’t necessarily want to create an entire meal, or you have a bit of a sweet tooth craving, you can always bake a sweet treat. You can bake from scratch or you can bake from a mix and create something sweet for you and your partner to enjoy. You can go for something more simple, like a classic sugar or chocolate chip cookie, or a nice warm brownie, or you can experiment with a more creative or complicated recipe. Either way, you’ll end the night with a delicious dessert to enjoy with your partner. 

Game Night

There are so many fun ways you can spend a game night. You can play a few board games, such as Monopoly, The Game of Life, or Twister.

Whatever you decide to do on your game night, the friendly competition will surely bring some funny moments for you and your significant other.

Karaoke Night

If you and your partner want to have some fun and perhaps embarrass each other a bit, a karaoke night can be a fun way to spend your night. You can find karaoke videos YouTube and sing your favorite songs, or you can watch a musical or movie with some of your favorite songs and perform them as you watch. A karaoke night can be a fun way to let loose and be a bit goofy with your partner. 

Throw Yourselves A Dance Party

If you want another way to get goofy with your partner, throw on some music and just dance around. If you and your partner used to go out to clubs or bars on the weekends, this can be a great way to safely make up for those lost weekend nights of dancing.
