5 EASY STAY AT HOME DATE IDEAS FOR COUPLES IN QUARANTINE
Are you looking for simple stay-at-home date ideas for couples?
Even if most of us can't (or shouldn't) go out, it's still important to have fun and connect with your other half. Date nights can't come soon enough.
So, what should you do if you can't go out?
Now is the time to think outside the box for stay-at-home date night ideas!
Whatever stage you are in during this lockdown, it is critical to take time to turn off the news and de-stress with your spouse. Date nights at home may be less expensive, but they do not have to be any less enjoyable than a night out on the town.
Here are 5 unique date night at home ideas to try this weekend:
1. Play board/card games.
Do you have a collection of board games that are gathering dust on a shelf? It's time to put them on display. To have a game night, grab a game and turn on your favorite music. Eliminate cell phone use and focus solely on the game at hand.
Here are a few old favorites:
Uno
Chess Danger
Yahtzee
Jenga
Rummikub
Sequence
Scattergories
If you get bored with your current games, swap them with your neighbors. If you're in quarantine, simply leave games on the doorstep with a note. When you're ready, swap back.
2. Host a costume party.
If you enjoy dressing up and going out for a night on the town, you can do so at home as well. Dress up and take photos with your date before, during, and after your date night. You can have a candlelit dinner followed by a relaxing activity as a couple.
Here are some suggestions for a relaxing evening:
Bonfire
Dance
Party
Under the Stars
View your wedding video
Together, look through old photos.
Do you want to keep things interesting? Allow your partner to choose your outfit for the evening! If you like the idea, think about alternating who plans the activities for the evenings when you dress up but stay in. Keep it a secret.
3. Collaborate on a Puzzle Challenge
One weekend a month, try to complete a puzzle. But there are some ground rules. If you're a parent, don't bring up the subject of your children. Don't bring up work or worries. Change the topic of the conversation with each puzzle piece you put together.
Here are some topics for discussion:
What is your favorite dating memory of us?
What new hobby would you like to try?
What is it about you that would surprise me?
What is your most cherished childhood memory?
What is one goal you want to accomplish by the end of the year?
What do you recall most vividly about our wedding day?
4. Plan a Spa Night
When was the last time you truly unwinded? Consider transforming your home into a spa-like retreat for the evening. Light candles, turn on spa music, and create a relaxing environment for yourself.
To have the ultimate spa experience, do the following:
Put on your most comfortable robes.
Apply face masks (yes, all at once!)
Soak your toes
Provide foot or shoulder massages.
Pour yourself a glass of wine or beer.
If you have children, wait until they are in bed and completely settled. Then you'll be able to fully appreciate your peace and quiet, just like at a real spa. Consider taking selfies in your face masks with your date for a fun photo memory of your date night.
5. Arrange the Perfect Vacation
Vacation plans appear to be on hold indefinitely at this time. Expect life to return to normal in the near future. Assume your time off has already been approved. Consider the possibility of having no travel or financial constraints. What would your ideal vacation entail?
