10 cheap and fun holiday date ideas!


1// bundle up and go for a walk in the snow, and then snuggle up on the couch with hot cider together.
2// bake holiday goodies together.
3// go to a local bookstore, and surprise each other with a new book. the fun part is picking a book for each other. it kind of shows how well you know one another.
4// invite another couple (or just other friends) over for adult hot cocoa.
5// play a board game. our personal favorite is bananagrams. thanks to the howell's for introducing us to this date night idea! (and for mailing us our very own bananagrams!)
6// have crepe night! it's such an easy recipe, and you can really mix things up with toppings. my favorite is nutella and bananas (big surprise there). luke's favorite is nutella in lesser amounts. he think i'm a little crazy. i'll pretend he thinks it's cute.
7// curl up on the couch, and read together. sometimes just being near each other is the best part. you could even read the books you got for each other. (see #3)
8// volunteer together. luke and i haven't done this recently, but it's something that i've definitely been looking into. local food drives, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters can always use the extra help. plus, it's a perfect way to remember the true christmas spirit.
9// hop in the car once the sun goes down (which these days is at 5 o'clock!) and drive around to look at the holiday lights! bring a thermos of your choice of hot drink OR even better egg nog (sans rum of course).
10// go sledding, have a snowball fight, or build a snowman. the two of you can reminisce about sledding as kids, while making new memories. yep...i'm a sap. :)

what are some of your favorite holiday/winter date night ideas?
