Let it snow with these indoor date ideas
During the winter months, it can be tempting to just hunker down and stay home. We know that feeling! But if you want to stay in and still enjoy a unique and fun date night, we have some ideas. So, light a fire and grab your loved one for an amazing night in.
Cook a meal together
A home-cooked meal is always a safe bet when it comes to date night. Not only is it a delicious way to spend the evening, but it's also a great opportunity to bond with your partner. After all, there's nothing like a little teamwork to bring a couple closer together. Plus, cooking together gives you a chance to show off your culinary skills (or lack thereof). Whether you're whipping up a gourmet feast or torching the grilled cheese, you're sure to have a good time. Looking for some inspiration? Incorporate some of these recipes. aphrodisiac foods .
Play a game
They say love is a game. If you want to have a game night with your partner, you'll have plenty of fun options. Choose your favorite childhood board game. Get creative and organize a scavenger hunt that ends in the bedroom. Get hot with a card game for date night that will have you asking exciting questions. Up the ante by having the loser give the winner a massage at the end of the night. There's nothing like a little healthy competition to liven up a date.
Turn your home into a spa
Relax and unwind with your partner... and save money while you do it! Set the mood with some candles, play soothing music, and scatter rose petals on the bed. You decide the schedule. Start by taking turns massaging with a massage oil made to ignite feelings of passion. If your hands tire easily or you're looking for a more penetrating massage, add a vibrating massager . Clean yourself with a bubble bath warm with your favorite scent so you can add a little aromatherapy to the evening.
Try a “yes or no” date
Is one partner more likely to plan a date night than the other? Are you always undecided about what you want to do? Give one partner the reins and ask what they'd like to do with yes-or-no questions like:
- Do you want to watch a movie?
- Want to order our favorite Chinese food?
- Do you want to try a new toy in the bedroom?
This will take some of the pressure off planning the evening and give some control to someone who isn't used to making decisions.
Have a dance party
There's nothing more romantic than dancing with your partner. Why do you think they add sexy dance numbers to romantic movies? Rekindle the flame by hosting your own dance party. Move the furniture around and dim the lights to create your own club. Then, choose a sexy playlist. Perfect for setting the mood. If you're feeling more playful, you can even add some accessories (like scarves or glow sticks) to really get things moving. Whether you're grooving or just laughing at each other's moves, a dance party at home will be a memorable night.
Prepare cocktails at home
Become a mixologist for a night and make cocktails with your partner. Start simple and then work your way up to a masterpiece. This is also a great situation to try role-playing . Have one person pretend to be a bartender and then act as the flirtatious customer. Once you've learned the basics, the sky's the limit when it comes to creative concoctions.
Have a picnic indoors
It may be cold outside, but you can control the temperature of your living room. Turn an everyday space into a romantic picnic getaway! Lay down a nice blanket, bring out a charcuterie board with your favorite meat, cheese, and fruit, and enjoy each other's company. Make the room feel like a night sky by stringing up some twinkling lights and turning off the overhead lights. You can also add some ambiance with music or nature sounds. Turn off your phones and TV and spend some time alone without leaving the comfort of your home!
Watch a movie
A movie theater may be ideal for a first date, but if you want to avoid the hassle of paying for tickets and buying overpriced snacks, make your home a movie theater. There's a reason "Netflix and chill" became a trend. Make sure you have all the movie essentials: popcorn, drinks, and hot chocolate to keep you fueled throughout the movie. As for which movie to watch, we've got you covered with a list of romantic movies that are sure to entertain.
Turn your home into a winter wonderland
If you love the snow but don't want to deal with the cold, bring the Christmas magic into your home! You and your partner can decorate together. Make paper snowflakes, hang lights, and bring out the wreaths and garlands. Now's the perfect time to put on some Christmas music and belt out Mariah Carey. Once you're done decorating, head to the kitchen and make your favorite Christmas cookies. Then, at the end of the night, relax and warm up in front of the fire while using a heat massager.
If you're ready to hibernate this winter, these date ideas will allow you to stay in your comfort zone while keeping the romance alive. So stay home and have fun!
