Forget movies, tv series and documentaries, it's all about you

Screen date nights are so "covid times", and we say it's time to shake things up a bit.

Whether it’s not having a baby sitter, or just not having the energy to go out after a long work day, going out for date night can sometimes be a challenge.

With a rather tenuous link to World Peace Day on September 21, we think a date night you can both agree on is probably the best way to go.

Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world and the UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace.

So let's go, plump for one of these options and no arguing over which one.

Date night food box

Indoors on date night, a date night box is the perfect way to go.

In a nutshell a date night food box is a mix of goodies from Choithrams.com and you guys have to work out what to do with them. Think Ready, Steady, Cook for the home!

So, a day before your date, take it in turns to order random ingredients and then see what shows up the next day. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make something remotely edible from what arrives on your doorstep.

Tasting party

One of our favourite staying in date night ideas is to have a tasting party.

Pick any theme: pizza, ice cream, cookies, chocolate, and lay out a few different options. To make it extra fun, create “tasting stations” with everything needed for the tasting party laid out and a sheet of paper to take “tasting notes”.

The sky’s the limit with the kinds of tasting parties you can have for your at home date night. We even say try a smoothie party.

Travel inspired meal

This idea so great for at home dates and can be customised is so many different ways.

Pick a country you’ve been wanting to travel to, or somewhere you loved going and cook dinner together inspired by that country. It's also an amazing way to curb the wanderlust when you aren't able to travel.
