For the last couple of years my husband and myself have come up with 12 different date night ideas. He figures out 6 of them and I’d come up with the other 6. Last year we had to get creative and we made them all Covid friendly, which meant at home during that time. To say we had fun would be an understatement. It was a great way for us to reconnect with each other after the kids went to bed. So if you’re needing some fun at home date ideas, we’ve got you! Here are 20 different at home dates you can easily pull together!
-
Movie & Popcorn – snag a Redbox or find a new movie on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Movies or anywhere else you have a subscription to and pop some of your favorite popcorn
-
Comedy Night – we found some hilarious comedy shows on YouTube.
-
Paint Night – set the table up for a little Bob Ross paint night (this was one of my favorites and I’m not a painter)
-
Music Night – put together a favorites playlist of songs that remind you of each other.
-
Read Together – simply snag your favorite book and sit down with a warm cup of hot chocolate
-
Listen to a Book Together – maybe you want to read a new book together, set up a date night to get you started
-
Board Games – we love pulling out board games and having a little friendly competition
-
Write a Letter – the art of writing to each other is not lost! Bring it back and exchange them over a bubble drink.

Make Your Own Ice Cream – simple and easy idea to pull together, you can even add your own favorite toppings.

Go on a Walk – a simple walk around the block is sometimes the perfect break I need to reconnect with my husband

Dance – turn on that song you danced to at your wedding and just sway back and forth
