Date Ideas at Home
Do a ‘Try Not To Laugh’ Challenge
Ever tried to keep a straight face while your partner does their best to crack you up? It’s harder than you think! Grab your phones, find some hilarious videos, and see who can hold out the longest without giggling. Loser has to do the dishes – or maybe something a bit more exciting?
DIY Cocktails
Time to channel your inner mixologist! Raid your liquor cabinet, grab some fruits and mixers, and get creative. Who knows? You might just invent the next big drink trend. Just don’t blame me if you end up with something that tastes like feet – that’s all part of the fun!
Sensual Massage with Warm Oils
Now we’re talking! Light some candles, put on some smooth tunes, and get ready to work out those knots. Pro tip: warm the oil first for extra relaxation. Just try not to fall asleep – unless that’s part of your plan!
Wine & Cheese
Feeling fancy? Transform your living room into a cozy bistro with a selection of wines and cheeses. Don’t worry if you can’t tell your brie from your camembert – it’s all about trying new things together. And hey, if the wine’s good, does it really matter what cheese you’re eating?
‘Learn it Together’ Date
Pick a skill you’ve both always wanted to try – maybe it’s origami, juggling, or even speaking pig Latin. Youtube’s your oyster! The best part? You get to laugh at each other’s hilarious attempts. Just don’t start with knife throwing, haha!
Blindfold Taste Test
Spice things up with a little sensory deprivation! Grab a blindfold and some random snacks from your kitchen. Will your partner be able to tell the difference between a pickle and a jalapeño? Only one way to find out! Maybe keep some milk handy, you know, just in case.
Bake-Off Challenge
Channel your inner Paul Hollywood and get ready to judge some soggy bottoms! Pick a recipe you’ve never tried before and compete to see who can make it best. The winner gets bragging rights, loser does the dishes. And hey, even if it’s a disaster, at least you’ll have a funny story to tell!
DIY Spa Night
Who needs expensive treatments when you’ve got each other? Whip up some face masks with stuff from your kitchen, give each other mani-pedis, and don’t forget the cucumber slices for your eyes. You’ll either end up feeling pampered or looking like you’ve been attacked by a mud monster. Either way, it’s a win!
Play ‘Two Truths and a Lie’
Think you know everything about your partner? Think again! Take turns telling two truths and one lie about yourself. It’s like a mini-detective game, but with more giggles and “No way!” moments. You might just discover your partner once wrestled an alligator… or did they?
Create Personal Memes
Time to unleash your inner memelord! Grab some silly photos of each other and slap on some hilarious captions. Who knows, you might just create the next viral sensation. Just don’t share that embarrassing bedhead pic of your partner without permission or I’ll be in trouble!
Strip Poker
Spice things up with a classic! But here’s a twist – use Uno cards if you don’t have a poker deck. Draw a +4? Uh-oh, time to lose that sock! Just remember to crank up the heat – nobody wants to catch a cold in their birthday suit!
Make Up Conspiracy Theories
Put on your tinfoil hats and let your imaginations run wild! Is your neighbor’s cat actually an alien spy? Does pineapple on pizza control the weather? The crazier, the better! Just don’t let it go to your head – we don’t need you joining any flat earth societies.
Weird Food Combinations Test
Peanut butter and pickles? Oreos and orange juice? It’s time to test those food combos you’ve always been curious about but too chicken to try. You might discover your new favorite snack – or end up ordering takeout. Either way, it’s an adventure!
Plant a Mini Garden
Get your hands dirty and create a little slice of nature together. Herbs, succulents, or even a bonsai tree – the choice is yours! Just don’t get too attached if you both have black thumbs. RIP, Steve the cactus, we hardly knew ye.

Grab some paper and pencils and get ready to question your partner’s artistic skills. Is that a dog or a potato with legs? Only time will tell! Pro tip: the worse you are at drawing, the more laughs you’ll get. It’s a win-win!
Create a Naughty ‘Bucket List’
Time to get those creative juices flowing! Write down all those spicy things you’ve always wanted to try. Maybe it’s skinny dipping or trying a new position? Just remember, what happens in the bucket list stays in the bucket list – unless you both decide otherwise!
Play ‘Guess the Sound I’m Making with My Face Expression’
This one’s hilarious and ridiculous in equal measure. Make a face, and have your partner guess the sound you’re trying to make just by your expression. Warning: may result in face cramps and uncontrollable laughter!
Roleplay
Who do you want to be tonight? A mysterious stranger at a bar? A famous celebrity? Let your imaginations run wild! Just don’t be surprised if your partner’s Sean Connery impression sounds more like a drunk pirate.
Cook a Meal Together with Only One Hand Each
Think cooking together is easy? Try it with one hand tied behind your back! Literally. It’s a recipe for disaster – and loads of fun. Just maybe avoid anything that requires a lot of chopping, lol!
Netflix & Chill
An oldie but a goodie. Pick a show you both love, or better yet, one you both hate-watch. Don’t forget the snacks! And if “chill” leads to less Netflix watching, well… that’s kind of the point, isn’t it?
Paint Each Other’s Portraits
Channel your inner Picasso and get ready to immortalize your partner on canvas. Or paper. Or a napkin. Whatever works! Just don’t be offended if your likeness ends up looking more like a potato with eyes.
DIY Sushi Night
Become sushi chefs for the night! Roll up your sleeves and get ready to roll… sushi. Pro tip: the messier it looks, the more “rustic” and “artisanal” it is. At least, that’s what we’re going with.

Invent Your Finger Language
Who needs words when you have fingers? Invent your own secret finger language. Come up with gestures and signals that only the two of you understand. Just don’t blame me if you end up accidentally insulting each other’s mothers in public.
Prank Call Your Friends
Relive your teenage years with some prank calls. Plan out your pranks, call up your friends, and record their reactions. Just keep it friendly – and maybe have an apology ready, just in case.
Play ‘Minute to Win It’ Games
