Favorite Valentine's Date Ideas

Ahhh! Valentine’s Day, this is one of our favorites! The time to plan the perfect romantic night, with the perfect gift for your special someone….right?  Well yes, but not exactly the easiest to do when you are: 1.) Not super creative and 2.) Don’t have a ton of time to plan and prepare the perfect evening.  No worries, you can always count on Pinterest to give you a ton of great ideas! Just start by simply searching... and YES, you find a ton of cute ideas for the perfect creative date night. You will also find that some of these grand ideas require a lot of work!!! Who has time for all of that?  We all love our significant others and all, but come on, it would take days to put together some of that stuff!  This will make your life a heck of a lot easier! We selected our favorite fun date ideas that won't break the bank and it won’t cause you hours and hours of work to plan. Here are the favorites that we selected as our top choices!

1. Breakfast in Bed- Simple, easy, and who doesn’t enjoy getting treated to breakfast in bed!  Make their favorite breakfast, served with their go to morning beverage.  You can also be so kind to bring them their favorite magazine or newspaper (or the Ipad with the newspaper already pulled up).  If you want to spice it up a little bit…..well we will leave that up to you to decide.

2. Netflix Binge Date- Such a great idea for an at home no budget date!  Snuggle up on the couch with some drinks and popcorn to catch up on all your Netflix favorites.  Not sure what to watch?  Well…each write down your top 5 favorite movies or episodes on different slips of paper.  Put them in a bowl and draw out one at a time.

3. Set up camp inside- If it is honestly way too cold to camp outside like it is here in Minnesota, set up camp in your living room. Bring out your inner child and build a fort of your very own.  One that might include some candles, or Christmas lights, along with some drinks and snacks of your choice.  Be creative with the stuff you can find around the home to make it like you are camping outdoor.

4. Fondue night- Absolutely love fondue!  If you don’t have a fondue kit, you can usually find them just about anywhere and they are very reasonably priced.  Easy to prepare and fun to eat!  There are a ton of simple and easy fondue recipes online.  Fun for a dinner for two or to enjoy with family.

5. Selfie Date Night- Just admit it is fun to take selfies!  While you are having your date night take lots of selfies….have fun with it, be goofy!  After the night is over you will have lots of laughs and have captured some fun new memories.  If you need to make the leap and get a selfie stick, it might just be worth it!

6. Plan a game night- A little healthy competition is always fun!  Find some fun games that you can play as a couple and make up some prizes for the winner (again we will let you use your imagination).  You could always head to the gym and play a little one on one or go out bowling if you aren't into board games. 

7. Cook dinner together- I mean from start to finish.  Plan a three or four course meal together with all your favorites.  Go shopping and pick up the ingredients together, and prepare and cook together.  Put on some fun music and have a glass of wine while cooking.  Maybe even add in a little food fight….who knows?  Make it fun and memorable!

  

8. Rooftop Hot Tub-  This one just came across while searching Pinterest. Well this sounds fantastic!  However, never have seen or heard of one around these parts.  So improvise…..set up your own hot tub movie theater.  If you have a hot tub already then you are set, if you don’t well, just use your bath tub.  Set up your TV or laptop and enjoy!

Well whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a great date!  

Happy Valentine's Day!
