Date nights are important in every relationship, whether you’re dating or have been married for five years with kids. It helps you spend quality time with your partner, and helps lower your stress levels. But if you find yourselves always heading for dinner or for a movie, and want to get out of the rut, we compiled a list of fun at-home date ideas. These activities will help you two connect and won’t deplete your bank account too.
Organise a Game Night
Show your competitive side with game night. Whether it is playing Scrabble or UNO – game night can be extremely fun. If you want something a little more grown-up, you can get your hands on a poker set or even set up a mini roulette table at home. Crack open a bottle of wine and start playing!
Whip up something together
It could be brunch, with waffles, pancakes and those tricky poached eggs. Else, look through the internet and find some decadent dinner ideas such as making pasta from scratch. All that measuring and rolling out pasta will not only make you bond, but also help strengthen you as a team.
Try your hand at painting
Things are stressful at the office? Looking to do something that’s fun and relaxes you? Try your hand at painting. Get an easel and few pots of paints and let those brushes do the talking. You can even get the artwork framed in your house.
Have a movie or show marathon
You can pick something that you both love – such as Game Of Thrones. Commit to watching a few hours of it. Perfect for a rainy day or when it is too hot outside.
Start a fitness journey together
You don’t need to sign up for a class to do yoga or aerobics. Instead plug a YouTube tutorial on your TV, clear the living room and do an hour of some physical activity. If you find this a little drab or have an unwilling partner, try Zumba.
Have a spa session
Is your man always borrowing your beauty products, treat him to some TLC by getting a manicure/pedicure session booked at home. You can book it via Urban Clap or you can slap on some sheet masks, play some soothing music and unwind.
