The pandemic may have thrown a monkey wrench into your Valentine’s date night plans. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a memorable experience right at home! Hartz Homes has several cozy date ideas where you won’t have to leave your abode to have a wonderful time. Read on…
Netflix and Chill
“Netflix and chill” sometimes get a bad rap, but if planned correctly, a night in front of your favorite streaming service can be surprisingly romantic and fun. Before you surprise your partner with Netflix, make it special. Create a lineup of your honey’s favorite TV show episodes or re-watch that movie you saw on your third date. Whatever you do, don’t make it a typical old TV night—add something special and sentimental to show you care.
Create an at-Home Spa
With a few candles, massage oil and some facial masks (yes, fellas can get behind good skin care too), you can create a night of pampering for you and your sweetie. You can surprise your partner with a new foot spa and a few massage tricks you’ve picked up on YouTube.
Plan an Indoor Picnic
Unless you live in a warm climate, February isn’t typically considered an ideal month for picnicking. Instead of waiting for warmer months to roll around, pack up a picnic and head to your living room. Once you’ve had a picnic free from bugs and sticky grass, you may never go back to the real thing.
Plan a Board Game Night
When’s the last time you and your Valentine sat down and played a board game? Pull out those old chess boards and checkers pieces and challenge your partner to a board game duel. Pick games specifically made for two players (think Scrabble, chess, or card games) and spend Valentine’s Day brushing up on your favorite strategies.
Order in Your Favorite Meal
Who says Valentine’s Day has to be labor intensive? Give yourselves a night off and order in from their favorite restaurant. Make it extra special by ordering a few dishes from a few different places and setting up a smorgasbord of fun flavors.
Learn a Dance Together
If the last time you two danced was at your wedding, plan an at-home date night that centers around getting down. Look up step-by-steps on YouTube and spend the night learning the cha-cha or the foxtrot. You’ll end the night a little lighter on your feet and full of laughter.
Make a Valentine’s Day Breakfast
Making breakfast in bed may be an oldie, but it’s definitely a goodie. Wake up before your Valentine and surprise them with pancakes made from scratch. Who doesn’t love a date that doesn’t require getting out of bed?
Create a Scrapbook of Your Travels
How many times have you returned from a vacation only to never print out your memories? Cuddle up and spend this Valentine’s Day reminiscing about all the adventures you’ve taken together. Make a scrapbook of all of your memories so you can share them together for years to come.
