Too late to get a reservation at your favourite restaurant? No available babysitters? Or do you just prefer relax in the comfort of your own home this Valentine’s Day? Whatever it may be, here are our Top 5 At Home Date Night Ideas.

 

Airbnb Online Experiences

Whether you want to plan a trip to your next destination with a local expert, go on a virtual African safari, or learn to make pasta with an Italian Grandma, Airbnb has tons of great online experiences to offer that would make the perfect at home date night.

 

Levelled Up Movie Night

Level up your at home movie night by creating your very own home theatre. All you need is a simple projector (like these ones from amazon), a light coloured wall, or a sheet, and you’re set! Go grab some popcorn from your local theatre and your favourite treats, and your home theatre is complete. Best part is you can enjoy a glass of wine and wear your PJ’s!

 

Games Night

A little healthy competition is always good for couples! Check out Jackbox Games for some good natured fun. Test your trivia knowledge with “You Don’t Know Jack” or see who’s the best bluffer with “Fibbage”. Easy to get on any streaming or game device, and no need for controllers, just use your phone or tablet.

 

Go stargazing

Even if it's too cold to go stargazing or too cloudy to see anything, set up a star projector inside. Lay down some blankets and pillows and enjoy the view. If the skies are clear enough to see the stars, use an app like SkyView to help you identify stars, constellations and satellites.

 

Fine Dining at Home

One of the positives to come out of the past couple years, is that most restaurants, fine dining included, offer full dining experiences to enjoy at home. One of our local favourites, Tap Restaurant, offers incredible three course dinners to go. They even offer an expertly paired bottle of wine to go with it! Prefer something more casual? Consider getting a perfectly curated charcuterie plate. Our faves are The Graze Company and MIEL Snackplatters.
