Going out for Valentine’s Day can be over-rated. Knowing that Valentine’s Day is the busiest night of the year for restaurants, why not stay home this year and keep the home-fire burning instead? After all, the cost is cheaper, the atmosphere is quieter, and the intimacy has no limits…well, unless you still have kids awake. In that case, just send them to bed early with a good book! Here are some at-home date night ideas to give you some inspiration.
Theater for 2
Get cozy in front of your TV and pick a movie that you’ve both been wanting to see or even one that has mutual significance in your relationship. It could be the movie you saw on your first date, maybe even the one you saw before he told you he loved you. Don’t forget the wine!
Add Candles
Anything by candlelight is immediately 10x’s more romantic than what you started with.
At-Home-Spa
A solid massage can erase away all your stress and worries. Treat your better half to the best at-home-spa money can’t buy. Start with a massage station and then maybe move the spa to the tub for a relaxing bubbling bath for two.
Heart Shaped Pizza
Nothing is really better than pizza, except a heart shaped pizza. Bake your own heart shaped pizza in the Magic Chef 12” Pizza Oven from Buydig.com. Bonus points if you make the pizza together.
Order-In the Good Stuff
Order in a sushi/sashimi feast for two or get those ribs you usually hesitate to order. There is no holding back here. It’s Valentine’s Day and the food is coming straight to the comfort of your own home so get wild! Use your own dishes instead of the plastic containers. This will elevate the mood.
Turn Your Living Room into a Ballroom
Move the furniture out of the way, turn on the music and dance like prom night all over again. Don’t know how to dance? Rent an instructional DVD from your local library and use the night to learn together!
Valentine’s Day Breakfast
3 words: heart-shaped-pancakes. Starting the day with a Valentine’s breakfast is the only way to start the day. Waking up to a fresh stack of pancakes, OJ and bacon is the key to anybody’s heart.
Mix Up a Cocktail
Have a special cocktail mixed using the Ninja Professional Style Blender from Buydig.com and ready for your partner when they get home. They will appreciate the thoughtful gesture and it will set the tone for a relaxing and love-filled night.
Make Dinner Together
Realistically, how often do you two make dinner together? Valentine’s Day is the night to share a romantic, candle-lit, handmade dinner with the one you love. You both will enjoy finally spending a moment together. Plus, cooking for your someone special is kind of sexy.
Use this day of love as a time to connect with each other outside of the public eye.
