I love this time of year, nights are starting to get draw in and its the perfect time to get all cozy and snuggled up at home. Arranging to go out can be hard work sometimes due to different work schedules, arranging child care or just having busy days and not really having the energy to get ready and go out. Spending quality time together is important so set aside some time for each other. Get the kids to bed early (if you have kids) and enjoy each others company. Date nights are a great way of switching off from social media, putting your phones down and spending quality time together. Before your date night make sure that you have everything you need in advance, if there are items you need to purchase. Here I have a list of 19 ideas for a romantic cozy night in with your partner.
Watch A Movie
Nothing beats settling down and cozying up together to watch a movie. It doesn’t even have to be a romantic movie just a movie of your choice. You could even go one step further and make some movie themed food, drinks or snacks such as watching My Big Fat Greek wedding and eating Greek food.
Cook A Nice Meal Together
Food is know as the language of love, so what could be more romantic than getting in the kitchen together and cooking a nice meal and a dessert that you can share. Have lots of fun working together, weighing out the ingredients and tasting the food as you go.
Host a pop quiz
Get snuggled up together and test each others music knowledge. You don’t need any fancy apps or loads of cd’s you can just use YouTube. Type in the genre or decade of music that you want and away you go. Test each other to guess the song and/or the artist of the music that you are playing.
Binge Watch A Tv Series
If you like watching tv series, then this could be the perfect opportunity to sit together and binge watch a whole series. Grab some drinks, some snacks get your pyjamas on, cuddle up together and you will be all set.
Games Night
Why not spend the evening playing a board game, this could be your favourite game or even a card game. Or if you are looking for something new to play then why not pop into a local charity shop and see if you can find a new game that you don’t have. Make your games night fun, make a nice cheese board and get some nice drinks to enjoy.
Order A Take Out
Have a night of cooking and order a takeaway. Takes this opportunity to order a take out from a food outlet you would not normally choose to make it more special. You can either make an effort and get dressed up and sit and eat at the table by candlelight, or you can pop on your pyjamas and get all cozy sat together on the sofa.
Wine Tasting
If you and your partner have a love of wine, then you could both purchase a couple of bottles of wine you have not tried before to do a blind wine tasting. Find some snacks that will go best with your wine like fruit, cheese or savoury snacks. Have fun seeing if you can guess the type of wine, you might even find your new favourite wine
Star Gazing
If you like looking at the stars then this could be the perfect date night for you. Get yourself wrapped up and cozy and head outside to look at the stars. This can be done on the porch or in the garden. Some warm blankets and hot chocolate will go down a treat to help keep you warm. You could also get in the car and head to a remote spot, also with your blankets and hot chocolate. Recline the car seats and enjoy looking at the stars, spending time together and chatting.
Self Care Spa Night
Bring the spa to your home. Find your fluffy dressing gowns, light some scented candles and pop on some relaxing music. Run a nice bath and spend time together talking, relaxing and giving each other massages. The ultimate bonus to this is that you are at home so you don’t have to go outside or drive the car when you are feeling totally relaxed and rejuvenated.
Make Cocktail
Why not get creative and have a go at making each other cocktails or even mocktails. You can find lots of inspiartion and recipes on line. You can make it great fun and have a great time together whilst sampling your creations.
Virtual Escape room
Why not have a go at a virtual escape room. Once you are signed up a host will guide you through the process and the escape room. You and partner just need to work together to solve the puzzles and escape in time.
Plan Your Next Travels
Why not sit with your partner and have a chat about places you would like to visit. Take time to research various places of interest. Youtube videos are also great to watch to learn more about the places you would like to visit, they might also help you create an itinerary of places to visit whilst you are there.
On Line Class
Sign you and your partner up to an online class. This could be something totally random such as painting, pottery, flower arranging or even dancing. Enjoy the class together and learn something new.
Candlelit Dinner
If you have decided to cook yourselves a nice meal or even opted for a take away then why not also enjoy a candle lit dinner. Choose some romantic music to play in the background, light some candles and enjoy a lovely candle lit meal together.
Have An Indoor Picnic
If the weather is cold or dark then why not have an indoor picnic. These can be just as much fun as an outdoor picnic. Layout a blanket and some cushions along with a nice selection of food and drink. Get sat together as you would if you was enjoying an outdoor picnic and enjoy your indoor picnic.
Make A Bucket List
Why not sit, talk and make a bucket list of all the places you would like to visit, all the things you would like to achieve, things you would like to learn or basically anything else you would like to do in life. Dream big whilst dreaming together of all the things you could do.
Do A Jigsaw
Why not dig out the jigsaws and try and complete the jigsaw together. This can be a great way to have a relaxing evening whilst allowing you both to talk. You could even pop a movie on in the background or play some music.
Tiktok or Instagram Challenge
If you take a look at Instagram or TikTok you will see all the crazy challenges that people are attempting. If you are feeling adventurous then why not have a go at some of the challenges.
Video Game Night
If you enjoy video games then why not have a video night, nothing beats a bit of healthy competition. Set up your favourite video game, snacks, drinks or splash out and order in a take away and get set for battle.
