Ideas for a Special Date Night

Valentine's Day is almost here and I have teamed up with Turo to talk about some fun ideas for Date Night! Most of these ideas can be used at any time of year but are especially fun to share at a time when people are thinking of how to have a special Valentine's date night together.

Go on a Picnic

Though it might be a little cold for some of us right now, I'm always a fan of a good picnic. Jeremy and I packed a picnic on our first date together and it was such a great way to just sit and enjoy the other person's company. If you are down south, or have an unusually warm spell right now, plan a fun Valentine's Day Picnic!

What you need:

Cute Picnic Basket (Insulated Picnic Basket / Wicker Basket / Basket Set With Blanket) | Some Fun Picnic Recipes | A Blanket for the Ground | Fruit and Nuts | A Fancy Drink

Romantic Dinner at Home

It's fun to dress up and go out but if you don't have the time or the money for a fancy dinner out, try one at home! Stop by the grocery store and pick up some nibbles - crackers, cheese, olives, nuts, meats - and some flowers for the table. Pull out the wine glasses and cook up a few appetizers from the freezer section for added fun. Then, put on a little black dress and light some candles!

Celebrate for a Cause

I don't know about your town, but my town has many events throughout the year where you can do something fun while raising money for a good cause. This year, our local Johnnycake Center (a non-profit food pantry and thrift store) is doing a Chocolate March where you travel to 9 different restaurants in town to sample different chocolate-inspired food items! You can do something a little different while sampling good food and giving back to an organization that helps so many in the community. Look at the "Events in your area" on Facebook to find a way you can celebrate for a cause in your area!

Play Celebrity for a Day

Every once in awhile it's fun to just do something a little spectacular and out of the ordinary! Rent a fancy car for the day and take a drive through the countryside for a day trip! Turo is a peer-to-peer car rental company with classic and rare cars all over the country. Not only is it a great way to find an affordable rental for your next trip, but there are options for car pickup or delivery! Use Groupon to find a lodge within a few hours of your home, make a reservation for dinner or a spa date and pull up in a fancy red BMW!

Dress for Your Valentine's Date

Last year I put together a number of ideas for a special Valentine's Date Night. Find Valentine's Day Outfit Inspiration and Valentine's Day Outfits for School and Date Night, along with my Favorite Lipsticks (with Swatches!) to make the date extra-special.
