Need a good idea for Valentine's Day that doesn't take a lot of effort (because it's 3 days away!)? Here are some at-home date nights that are sure to please your significant other, yourself and your budget!
Cook a Meal
I absolutely love cooking with my husband. It's a great way to have some good conversation, be productive and enjoy each other's company in a familiar space. This Buzzfeed article has some really delicious ideas for getting in the kitchen together and making some magic!
Video Game Marathon
Whether you're more into the classics like Mario Kart & Donkey Kong Country or you're into the Call of Duty games, this is a fun bonding activity! Compete against each other or work together, it's all fun.
Spa Night
For a more romantic night, nothing beats a massage & a bubble bath together. Throw in some chocolate truffles & a bottle of your favourite bubbly and you've got a down right sexy evening ahead of you!
Movie Night
Going to the theater is pricey! How about an at home movie night instead? Pop some corn, pour some yummy drinks (even and some alcohol if you're feeling it!), slide into your PJs & put in your favourite movie. Can't choose? Why not make it a marathon & watch two or three in a row! Just because it's Valentine's Day, doesn't mean it has to be a chick flick - anything goes.
Play a Game
Sure you could play Scrabble, Cards, etc., or you could play Would you Rather? / The Newlywed Game / any game that lets you get to know each other better! You could even go online & find some personality quizzes, take them & compare the results. Anything fun & personal is always a hit.
Bonus : A Themed Night
Choose a theme - could be a decade (50s/20s), a country (France/India) or something random (Kids Night/Chocolate/Dracula). Plan your dinner accordingly, choose a movie or two, some snacks that fit the bill, maybe even a cute decoration or outfit to match & have a blast!
Would you choose any of these dates? We're going to be trying a combination of these ideas for our Valentine's this year!
Cheers,
Kait
