It’s Valentine’s Day at Havenwood! While going out for a fancy dinner or taking a trip can be a great option, staying in can also be just as fun and special. Here are some thrifty yet thrilling stay-at-home date ideas to make your Valentine’s Day celebration unforgettable.

Cook a fancy dinner together:

Cooking a delicious meal together can be a great way to spend quality time as a couple. Choose a dish that you both love or try something new. Set the table nicely and enjoy a candlelit dinner. There are tons of videos and blog posts that can help you get inspired.

Have a movie marathon:

Create a cozy atmosphere in your living room and snuggle up for a movie marathon. Choose a theme, such as romantic comedies or action movies, and enjoy the show. Don’t forget the option for a double or triple feature – and don’t forget the snacks!

Have a game night:

Play some of your favorite board games or card games together. You can also try new games and see who comes out on top! You could even offer prizes for the winner…and decide how sweet or spicy you’d like the prizes to be! 

Create an at-home spa day:

Treat yourselves to an at-home spa day. Take a relaxing bath, give each other massages, and apply face masks. This can be as spendy or as thrifty as you’d like – choose the department store OR the dollar store! If you’re feeling crafty, try some homemade options. 

Have a picnic in your living room:

Bring the outdoor experience inside and have a picnic in your living room. Spread out a blanket, prepare a basket of your favorite snacks, and enjoy each other’s company.

Plan a DIY project:

Work on a DIY project together. It could be anything from painting a room to building a piece of furniture. The process of creating something together can bring you closer and strengthen your bond. If you’re not typically a crafty couple, try something simple like Paint by Number.
