In the spirit of Valentine’s Day which is right around the corner, here are five inexpensive but romantic date ideas that prove money can’t buy you love!
- Go to Starbucks for a drink and play an iPad or iPhone game together. Multiplayer gaming is pretty fun and super easy on a portable device. Using a play and pass style game gives you an excuse to get close and cuddle while sharing the screen. Easy listening jazz at no additional cost is always a plus and you may even be able to pick up a Starbuck’s Pick of the Week showcasing a cool new game or app the two of you can enjoy together!
- Pick up a movie or two from Redbox and a box of popcorn for a romantic movie night. Okay, so the movie doesn’t have to be romantic, but just the act of watching movies together and snacking on popcorn is romantic in and of itself. Whether your watching at your place or his, make sure to pile up the pillows and blankets and arrange yourselves a little love nest to cuddle in.
- Bundle up for a moonlit walk in the snow. Now this one requires a little planning ahead of time, but perhaps not if your from a warmer location where it just never snows (in that case, the snow is optional). If you are going to opt for the evening stroll in the snow, make sure to bundle up tight, wear some good snow boots and have some hot cocoa waiting for you back at home. It is infinitely romantic but incredibly inexpensive.
- Plan a picnic at home. Depending on how much you want to spend you can get as simple or creative as you would like. Arrange a picnic style meal, find a blanket and eat on the floor inside. The key to this one is ambiance, so you may want to play some old french music or a track of birds singing.
- Go stargazing. Grab some blankets, pillows and a few snacks and head outside to a clear area to watch the stars. Bonus points if you bring a telescope or some binoculars to give you a better view. And extra bonus points if you have or can borrow someones pick up truck to make a cozy bed in the back to gaze from.
