101 Date Ideas - Night & Day Dates to Make You Feel the Love

1. Have a garden picnic If the weather is set to be pleasant and you have a free afternoon, fill a hamper with goodies, lay down a rug and grab something lovely to drink. You’ll only need an hour and you could even sneak some time out of working from home on your lunch break. 2. Set up some candles and listen to your songs Create some romantic, atmospheric lighting and play your fave playlist together. Make sure to include your song.

3. Have a board game night Rustle up your fave board games and some snacks, switch off the TV and find your inner competitor for some fun and games. 4. Fire up the BBQ/Pizza Oven A spot of alfresco cooking is a nice way to shake up mealtimes. It can be fun and interactive cooking together or one of you can take the lead and let your other half relax.

5. Watch a movie An oldie but goodie. Rent a film, grab the popcorn and cosy up ready for movie date night. 6. Bake together or have a bake-off Love a spot of The Great British Bake Off or just have a sweet tooth? Why not head to the kitchen and bake up a storm together? 7. Hire a hot tub as a treat Quite an indulgent treat, but did you know you can hire hot tubs?

It would be a lovely way to celebrate a special anniversary or Valentine’s Day in your own garden. 8. Get dressed up and dance in your kitchen Grab your disco ball, dress up to the nines and have a good old fashioned boogie. Maybe you met dancing, or perhaps it’s something you only feel comfortable doing privately. Dancing can be a lovely way of bringing out your fun side.

9. Play computer games Find your controllers and set up a two-player computer game date. It may bring back some nostalgia, or just ignite some fun conversation. 10. Cook a romantic meal It’s a classic, but it’s a classic date idea for a reason. Set the right mood and cook something special to surprise your love.

11. Get a couples massage in your living room If not a couples massage, then any other treatment of your choice by hiring a beautician to come to you. You’ll have space to chat and be left feeling relaxed. 12. Order a takeaway Treat yourselves to take out and have a night off of cooking… and washing up!

13. Firepit and s’mores night Sit out and toast some marshmallows together, there’s always something romantic and cosy about being close to a campfire. 14. Reenact your first date or how you met You could always try to recreate your first date or how you met at home. It may be a giggle as you try and set up a restaurant or cinema, a park or a workplace. But it’ll also bring you close together as you relive those memories.

15. Duvet day date with breakfast in bed Snuggle up in your bed and have a special breakfast together – dates don’t always have to be in the evening. 16. Share a bubble bath or steamy shower Jump in the hot water together and have some intimate, relaxing time. 17. Watch the stars A spot of stargazing can be very peaceful, calming and connecting.

The perfect date idea – and it’s free! 18. Pamper each other If your budget is tight, why not pamper one another? Grab some facemasks, nail polish and massage oil, then treat one another to a well-desrvied treatment. 19. Share a special drink and toast to your future plans Crack open that special bottle of something you’ve been saving

and have a conversation about your future dreams. Don’t forget to raise a toast. 20. Look at your photos/videos together How often do we actually sit and look back through our photo albums or camera roll? Make an afternoon date out of relaxing and reminiscing. 21. Feed each other chocolate or fruit Feeding each other treats is an intimate and fun date activity,

which also helps you to make eye contact. Be prepared for food fights if you get silly. 22. Netflix and chill No explanation is needed here. I will leave you to your own imaginations. 23. Complete a craft project together If you love crafting and making, why not buy yourselves a craft kit to complete together at home. A simple, but sweet date idea with a memento to keep afterwards.

24. Plan your dream holiday Take some time together to do some travel research, whether that be with brochures or on the internet. This is a fun one for those of you who are engaged and planning a honeymoon. 25. Organise a treasure hunt Surprise your partner by organising a fun treasure/scavenger hunt in your home or garden. You could use insider jokes or private references to make it super personal too.

Your partner will love the thought and effort put into it. 26. Do some home renovations or gardening as a couple Sometimes painting together or gardening can make for some fun memories. Put on some upbeat tunes and work next to each other for some one-to-one time. 27. Make a scrapbook together How about spending some time together creating a memory book, adding photos, tickets, quotes,

flowers or any other treasured keepsakes to look back on and show the grandkids. 28. Hire a private chef to cook for you Be totally decadent and hire a chef to cook you a luxe meal. No babysitter needed, no need to even dress up, or wash up after! YES. 29. Create a playlist together Grab some time to make a playlist that you can use on your next date, on a roadtrip

or even at your wedding for those engaged couples. Wedding songs are always best when they come from the heart and have meaning. 30. Write a poem/love letter Write a love note, letter or poem to make your love laugh or cry (in a good way of course) and then make a date to read them together. Cue all the emotions.

Pet animals at a local farm Trips to a local farm centre can be lovely, cute animals, feeding time, plus usually a cafe for lunch. This is an especially lovely day date for Spring when it’s lambing season. Top tip, try to go inside of term time to avoid it being super busy.

33. Visit a country home & gardens Having a walk around stately homes and gardens is always relaxing. Also, it’s great if you are a National Trust or English Heritage member to make the most of your membership.

and get in the drinks as you go head to head bowling. 37. Have a day out at the zoo Visit a safari park or zoo to take in all the sights and sounds of the animals.

Be ready to feel refreshed and revived. 42. Hit the dance floor or have dance lessons Why not go dancing at a club or you could book in some dance lessons if you fancy yourself a spot of Strictly Come Dancing?

Dance lessons are also a great way to build confidence if you’re engaged and looking to up-level your first dance. 42. Book a photoshoot Ever feel like your photos are a bit, well, rubbish? Why not book in a professional photographer for a special couples shoot? It can be super low key and a great photographer will bring the giggles and romance, so much so you won’t notice they are there. Plus you’ll get cute snaps to keep forever. Win win.

43. Take a camping trip If you love the outdoors then why not plan a camp out for the night?

Hire a pedalo or rowing boat Head to your local lake or river for an afternoon of rowing. A slow-paced and quiet date where it really is just the two of you.

62. Visit a sealife centre There are lots of sea life centres in the UK which can make for a special date idea which is just that little bit different too. 63. Go to a brewery/distillery If you love a tipple, you could head to your favourite brewery or distillery for a tour. Plus you may even get some samples. Yum! 64. Watch a sporting event together Snag some tickets to a sporting event and make a date out of it.
