Whether you’re looking for fun things to do at home to reignite the romance or chasing some creative first date ideas, there are a variety of creative ways to spice up your week and reconnect with your special someone. 

Keen to share the love with these rainy day activities? We’ve pre-prepared some cute at home date ideas for you to sink your teeth into so you can wine and dine your love interest (and take all the credit). Ranging from cheap date night ideas to fun indoor activities for adults still figuring out if they’re keen on each other, we have creative virtual workshops, activities and gift experiences for couples to suit a huge range of interests.  

The ol’ dinner and a movie

When it comes to cheap date ideas, dinner and a movie is a classic for the ages. The Godfather of dates; if you will. But just because you’re not going out, doesn’t mean you can’t get creative. Perfect for impressing someone you’re in the process of “wooing,” invite them over to your house for a nice dinner and movie. 

Put a little bit of effort into decorating the house like a restaurant. Finesse the dining table with a clean tablecloth and some candles for mood lighting, and arrange the furniture in such a way that the dining table is the focal point. Now, this might already be the case, but by centering where you eat, you’ve placed an element of ‘occasion’ on dinner and given it a subtle level of importance that eating on the couch with the telly on just doesn’t hold. And let’s face it, cute date night ideas don’t include sitting on the couch. 

Before they arrive, it’s time to whip up one of the best meals for classic date ideas: Italian food. Your teacher can send you everything you need to learn how to make beautiful fluffy gnocchi or authentic Italian pizza and, if you’ve timed it right, your special someone should arrive just as you're finishing up. You know, covered in a bit of flour, stirring a pot; almost finished but not quite. This gives it a real “imperfectly perfect” vibe and helps you avoid eating cold food. 

Afterwards, you can watch a movie, but if you’ve nailed everything else that evening, you probably won’t finish it. This is one of the best cheap date night ideas available, and you don’t need to even leave the house for a good Italian feed. 

Date ideas that take a cheeseboard to the next level

Unleash your creativity with one of our best at home date ideas in Sydney: resin art! While this might require a bit of a budget, investing in a special date night experience can be truly rewarding. And trust us, this one is worth it! Get ready to add a splash of colour and fun to your time together with one of the best indoor activities for adults to enjoy.

If you’re looking for creative things to do at home, then have a go at making your own DIY resin serving boards all from your living room! Resin art is a free-flowing method of mixing colour and a unique and stylish way to decorate homewares. Obviously, this is a unique gift experience for couples but how does it fit into our top date ideas? Have you ever made art with someone? 

Creating art together is one of the best date night ideas because it can really enhance your connection with each other as a couple. Letting your creativity flow side by side can truly deepen your bond. And guess what? Unlike painting watercolours, this activity won't cause any trouble if you decide to eat off your masterpieces! It's a delightful mix of exploring your romantic chemistry through art and crafting something practical that you can enjoy using together. How lovely it would be to share these memories with each other!

Resin art cheeseboards are the perfect way to add a pop of colour and glitter to a plain wooden board and makes eating cheese all the more tastier. After all, cheese is an aphrodisiac (if served alongside one charming individual who is wining and dining successfully). Once you’ve learnt how to make one, you may even come back for more and keep making resin art with your partner as a new creative hobby at home!  

Romantic date ideas at home that’ll get the spark going

Now, this is one of the best things to do at home for couples. As far as indoor activities for adults go, this one is the pinnacle, but we highly recommend you are in an established relationship for this one because it’s a couple’s massage class. 

Couple massage classes are a surefire way to reconnect with each other both physically and emotionally, particularly during stressful periods, and make for one of the most sensual date ideas available. This is one of our most unique craft boxes, and the reason it functions so well as one of our stand-out date ideas is that unlike many of our other online classes, these Sydney workshops are pre-recorded and included in the box itself! 

This means that you can indulge each other without having the pressure of being on a live stream. The craft kit also contains an array of oils for you to work with, as well as two massage vouchers to use.

Light some candles, watch the videos, put on some music and treat each other. Oh, and turn your phones off. This is one of the most romantic at home date ideas available, but please don’t use this one as one of your first date ideas. 

From resin art to cooking to a self-care massage, these are just a small sample of some cute date ideas at home you can try together. If you’re willing to get a bit creative, there’s an array of fun things to do at home that’ll impress your significant other and get the romance blossoming all year long.
