22 At Home Date Night Ideas
Let's be honest. We all have a LOT of extra time on our hands lately. If you're at home with your significant other, finding things to do at night can be a task after you've just at at home with them all day long, I get it.
However, making date night/quality time with your significant other outside of working from home with them every single day, is important. These days will drag on longer than they already have unless you have something to look forward to a couple nights a week!
As much as Taylor and I like Netflix, I get bored easily and if the show we're watching doesn't suck me in within the first three minutes, I'm out. It becomes a me-scroll-my-phone-night while Taylor watches said Netflix show. It does us no good. And sitting in front of the TV after I've sat in front of my computer all day isn't necessarily my favorite thing to do.
Alas, I've tried to come up with a couple new and fun ideas that aren't all Netflix related, to keep you busy a couple of nights over the next few weeks! I tried to think of things that were budget friendly, and not totally out there. These are things anyone can do, that hopefully aren't too cheesy.
You guys sent in your ideas, and I compiled them into one big list with all of my ideas, so that hopefully one of them sparks the at home date night spark in all of you!
I would love to hear if you try any of them and enjoy them! And as always, if you have more suggestions, DM me and send them my way! I'll keep adding to our list.
