10 Cheap Date Ideas
Finding time between both of your busy schedules can be tough, but date nights don’t have to be the activities that cost a lot or takes up too much time. Especially in long term relationships the term ‘date night’ or ‘date day’ gets watered down and sometime even forgotten about. Making sure you both create time to spend together is important, and you can do this even on a budget!
Coming up with fun ideas might be the last thing on your mind with how busy you both are and especially if you have little ones running around. We have got you covered, below is a list full of fun and cheap / free date night and date day ideas:
1. Go through old photos – Plan an evening where you can sit and go through all your old pictures, reminisce on some of the great memories you have created. Even turn it into a bit of a game, who can remember where the photo was taken and when? Even grab some vino and snacks.
2. Put together a puzzle – Great for team work and for both of you to take your minds off your day to day activities such as work. You will both feel like you have accomplished something together.
3. Get in the kitchen together – Some nights you may take it in turns to cook, who ever is in first makes dinner. But, why not get in the kitchen together and plan to make a special indulgent dinner.
