Whatever the reason for staying at home, there are lovely and exciting activities that you can do in the comfort of your own home. Romance is created by making the other person feel loved and appreciated, so how do you bring the romance into your Valentine’s Day at home?
Get creative and make your date night fun with these ideas to try for a stay-at-home date night:
The Show Must Go On
As a couple, it could be so romantic to spend time with your favorite musical classics to set the stage for a perfect night. You can also prepare flowers like red roses for Valentine’s day to make it more romantic.
Music could bring out many different emotions in people, and playing your favorites together could be a music lover’s dream. You don’t have to opt for the sweet and sappy television romance songs. These could be any music you would enjoy together as a couple.
Some couples would prefer a more classical twist to the music evening, and there are many options for them too! Search online to see some ideas for a fun night together.
The Way To A Man’s Heart
Although this saying mainly focuses on men, ladies could be equally flattered by some good cooking and company.
Spend a romantic evening together in the kitchen cooking each other’s favorite meals, or choose a dish you both love and prepare it together. The quality time will bring you closer together, but eating food makes the night so much happier, literally!
Food releases some feel-good hormones in our bodies, especially when you share a delicious meal with someone you love. It’s like getting a double dose of feel-good.
Playing The Game
The romance game may get tough sometimes. Lighten the mood with some fun games to get your giggle on.
From more seductive board games for adults to the hilariously funny kids’ games would make for an evening of lovely laughter. Beating each other with an electronic game in front of the computer or television could be a good option for more competitive couples.
Limited space? Not a problem! Claim the apartment complex’s hallway as your playground for the night and create some fun moments with a casual bowling game. A ball made from recycled plastic wrap and tin foil with empty plastic bottles would bring a smile to anyone’s face. Even the other tenants will most likely wonder what the commotion in the hall is all about.
Never Have I Ever…
Find out what makes your partner tick by getting personal information from them. A good way to get a clearer picture of your loved one is to complete some quizzes together.
Make it a game of choice where each one chooses a quiz and separately completes the quiz to compare after. There are quick, fun quizzes online on probing each other to spill the tea. The game ‘Never Have I Ever…’ is a good way to get started.
Classic trivia games can also be a great conversation starter, with one party usually ending up saying: ‘I didn’t know you knew that!’. Other favorites among couples are taking personality, love languages, and other fun quizzes. Get to know the deeper aspects of your partner’s personality and you may just be pleasantly surprised.
Hobbies, Crafts, And Home Improvements
Something to tickle the creative spirit in your partner? Tackle a hobby, craft, or home improvement you’ve been putting off together.
Finishing a project brings a sense of accomplishment, and doing it together amplifies this feeling. Find an activity that would excite you both so you can share in the joy of completing it. Something as simple as building a puzzle could be made romantic with a glass of wine and your favorite tunes playing in the background.
To celebrate your success, take a staycation and spend the night in the newly done spare bedroom, eat your dinner at the freshly painted dinner table, or have a nightcap on the renovated patio.
Tying It Together
Spending time together should always be considered by its quality over quantity. Make the best of the evening and fill it with romance and cheer. Exquisite and lavish Valentine’s Day dates are so last season. Rather create your own that’s tailormade for your needs as a couple.
Love and romance don’t have to wait for a special occasion; you can make one!
