When you don’t want to deal with the stress of traffic, parking, and other people but still want to have a spectacular date with your sweetheart, it’s time for an awesome in-home date. Who says you have to leave the house for an awesome date night? Here are some of our favorite ideas for an exceptional date from the comfort of your own home.
1) Private Chefs~ Bring the Restaurant to You
Hiring a private chef for a date night at home is a delicious way to raise the bar without ever stepping out the door. When a professional chef comes into your space, they take care of everything like menu planning, ingredient shopping, cooking, serving and even clean up. You and your sweetheart can just relax and reconnect with each other instead of juggling grocery lists, struggling to get a reservation, or trying to figure out where the “whatever you want” restaurant is. The menu is crafted to your tastes, dietary needs, and the mood you’re going for. Our favorite private chefs in San Antonio are eatsatx, Executive Chef David, Lavish Cuisine, and Dinner Elf.
2) Mobile Massage~ Massage Away the Stress
Hiring a mobile massage therapist for a date night at home is a hands-down win when it comes to romance and relaxation. When the spa comes to you, you skip the hassle of traffic, parking, and scheduling which means more time just for the two of you. In the comfort of your own space you can set the mood exactly how you like with your favorite playlist, lighting, and scents. Plus, when you share the experience of simultaneous massage (or back-to-back) you’re not only decompressing physically but emotionally and studies show that shared relaxation can deepen connection, lower stress hormones, and boost bonding hormones. We recommend Elite Mobile Spa, Soothe, Arm’s Reach Mobile Massage, and Zeel.
3) Activities~ Fun Things to Do
A date at home doesn’t have to be boring. There are plenty of fun options to bring an activity date to your home. Clay Casa offers great ceramics painting packages that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own house. Let’s Roam provides couples with exciting scavenger hunts that you and your sweetheart can enjoy without leaving your house. Paint Palooza brings the paint party to you. Don’t let a date at home be boring when all these options exist!
Whether you’re dining on delicious fare from a private chef, melting into bliss with a mobile massage, or sparking laughter with a playful at-home activity, the heart of a date night isn’t about where you go, it’s about who you’re with and how you connect. So dim the lights, press pause on the world outside, and tune in to each other. Let your home be the setting for something memorable, effortless and uniquely yours. Because the best date night isn’t the one with the valet or the brightest marquee, it’s the one where two hearts get closer, right where they are.
