1) Indoor Picnic & Board Games
Light a few candles and lay a blanket down on the floor. Get
your Spotify playlist on the go and lay out some cheap nibbles (your date will
be so bowled over by the romance that they won’t realise they’re eating chicken
nuggets and smiley faces). And for the evening’s activity; scrabble.
2) Get Outdoors!
Walking doesn’t cost a penny. Get online and look up a country
walk in your local area. Wandering through the countryside provides a great
opportunity to get to know your date away from distractions. And after all of
those endorphins from the (gentle) exercise you’ll both be in such a good mood
that you’ll forget all about money woes.
3) Bargain Hunt!
Visit a garage sale and play your very own version of Bargain Hunt! Extra bonus points for finding a piece of furniture that you guys can do-up together. A little project like that is really fun way of bonding and will provide you will lots to do without the price tag!
4) Moonlight Romance
Do you remember when Ross took Rachel to the Planetarium?
VERY romantic. Well get yourself outdoors and experience the real thing.
Snuggle up under a blanket and pack a flask of hot chocolate; spend the evening
gazing at the stars and trying to figure out the constellations. We live in a wonderful country where most museums and art galleries are free to the public. Make the most out of this! You can spend hours looking around these spaces and talking about the displays. It’s a nice first date idea too – taking the pressure off conversation and ensuring no awkward silences. Just pretend you’re deep in thought!
Perhaps not a first date option, but if you’ve been dating for a while a bubble bath is a lovely way to spend the evening. Lots of candles, a bottle of wine (of the discounted variety) and a vat load of bubbles. It’s super relaxing and intimate, so good it should be made a weekly deal!
7) Check out the Local Music Scene
There are hundreds of local bands out there looking for an
audience! So much so that often their gigs are either free or insanely cheap to
get into. Ok there’s a chance that it will be bloody awful, but you also might
stumble across an absolute gem of a band. Either way you and your date will
have plenty to talk about!
8) At Home Cinema Experience
Choose your favourite film and get cosy! For the full on
experience try making your own Popcorn and a few little snacks for the evening’s
entertainment. Keep it personal and choose a film that means a lot to you, so
that way the date’s not just about watching a film but also about learning a
little more about each other.
9) Pool & Darts
Ah the wonders of the local pub. Beer and inexpensive
activities. Find out about your date’s competitive side and challenge them to a
game of Pool & Darts over a pint or two.
10) Bake a Cake
With GBBO just around the corner, it’s time to start practising your baking skills. Get your date involved and enjoy a few hours of domesticity putting together your Showstopper.
