Valentine’s is around the corner and I’m sure you would be planning it in your own special way. However, this year is quite not the same. With COVID hitting hard, it has forced us to think of alternatives for everything. This indeed affects the way we celebrate V-day just as all other special occasions. If you are looking for spending this Valentine’s Day in a special way while stuck at home; you’re in the right place.
12 Date Night Ideas for Lockdown
Here’re 12 romantic date night ideas to celebrate V-day during lockdown:
-
Love Potion
Celebrate this V-day by involving in some romantic activities at home. Make some yummy cocktails or mocktails and grab your chance to spend time together.
Take it up a notch and create some fun ice cubes with heart molds with some fresh fruit to add a little pizzazz to the drink.
-
Virtual trip
Go on a tour at your favorite place right from the comfort of your couch, thanks to Google StreetView. Isn’t it amazing to see the Eiffel tower without even leaving home?
Our favorite thing to do is pick out a place we’d like to go house hunting, and hop on Realtor.com or Zillow to search houses, then get on Google StreetView to see what it would actually look like if we visited there.
-
Games
Playing board games will make you relive your childhood and you can bring back all the silly fun that you had as a kid.
List out the games that you both loved playing as a child OR you can totally get lovey-dovey and choose from Lovehoney’s special collection of romantic games or Fog of love.
Also, it’s not about winning, just enjoy and cherish every single moment that you spend together.
-
Stargaze
Who doesn’t find it romantic holding the hands of your partner and witnessing the little twinkles in the dark sky?
If you are living in the city without much light pollution, this is indeed the perfect date night plan. Grab a big, fluffy blanket and lay down in your backyard while having a dreamy time with your partner gazing at the stars.
Hold the hands and talk about your dreams, share your deepest feelings and just be in the moment.
-
Masterclass
How about learning something new together?
Take a course on Masterclass that you both have been eyeing on. The idea here is to learn something that interests you both while having fun. Bring the high school geek back in!
-
Bubble bath
Take a nice, long hot bubble bath together.
Light some candles, play soft music, drop in some lavender hot bombs, bring in some wine and get super cozy.
This is hands down the best date night idea when you cannot go out anywhere.
-
Couple’s bucket list
You can sit together and write down everything you wish to do. If you are travel bugs, write down all the places you wish to travel together and start saving for the same.
Make two columns named ‘the places you wish to visit’ and ‘the expenses needed’. You can then create a plan and figure out how to proceed further.
On our travel list is a trip to Bali, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.
-
Love Underwater
There’re lots of zoos and aquariums that are doing live streams these days. Wouldn’t it be super fun to watch exotic wildlife right beside your partner? I bet you don’t want to skip this.
-
Karaoke competition
How about having some fun singing competition with your partner?
Your partner would totally love this idea of having a sing-along break from the hectic, busy life.
-
Love hunts
Plan a treasure hunt and hide some romantic things at places your partner would never notice. It will be super fun watching your partner solve love-riddles.
-
Dinner for two?
Cook a delicious meal for your partner and make them lick their fingers. You can also plan to cook it together and have a candlelight dinner on the terrace. As cliché it may sound; candlelight dinners are the best for bringing old romance back.
-
Binge-watch series
Find a show that you both love and start a series marathon. We always end up watching Big Bang theory on a spree!!
Grab a blanket, pull up the sofa, and binge-watch your favorite series.
That’s all from my side. Are you ready to spice things up this Valentine’s? Do let me know which of the above activities you enjoyed doing the most.
