After months of being cooped up together at home, it can be hard to find new and exciting things to do with your significant other. Cuddling on the couch and watching Netflix is great, but sometimes you want more! So, if you are looking to spice up your date night or to avoid a bit of COVID-19 anxiety, we curated a list of ideas to help make your date night from home an ultimate romantic holiday to remember.
Order special takeout
Odds are that you and your significant other have either spent your quarantine cooking or ordering takeout from the same few local places. Try something new and romantic by grabbing takeout from Victor’s Italian Restaurant. Check out their delicious Valentine’s Day menu with dishes like pan-seared Chilean sea bass topped with caviar or take the more traditional route and order their famous spaghetti and meatballs. What’s more romantic than recreating the iconic “Lady and the Tramp'' spaghetti scene?
Set the scene
Creating an intimate atmosphere is crucial for getting into the spirit of Valentine’s Day. It’s not going to feel like much of a date night if your dining room table looks exactly how it does when the kids are doing their homework. Dim the lights and use this holiday as an excuse to splurge on a luxury candle from AK Interiors. Visit their location in downtown Lancaster or utilize their free local delivery option (within 10 miles)!
Take a virtual cooking class with Caputo Brothers Creamery
Picked up a love for cooking during quarantine or maybe you’re looking for a new activity to do with your partner? What’s more romantic than learning a new skill with your partner in the comfort of your own kitchen? Caputo Brothers now offer virtual cooking classes to learn how to make cheese in your own home! The virtual class includes a step-by-step video and homemade cheese curds to pull your own cheese shipped right to your door. Grab your favorite bottle of pinot noir and get to stretching!
Stay the night at a local B&B
After a long year spent at home, switching up your surroundings for the night may be the perfect way to escape with your valentine. Stay at the Olde Square Inn and wake up to a home-cooked three-course breakfast as you relax and unwind with that special someone. This restored mini-mansion is nestled in the heart of Mount Joy on Main Street and has 7 quaint rooms to make your own. The Olde Square Inn is great as is but add on one of their many packages to elevate this special day even more.
Dress to impress
One of the positives of the pandemic has been the newest trend of comfy chic fashion. Embrace this trend by wearing an adorable matching set perfect for lounging at home. Give yourself a little extra self-love this holiday and check out this matching set from Three Little Birds.
