Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and if you and your honey still have no idea what to do for the big weekend, I understand. It’s hard to come up with something other than dinner and a movie. In honor of this adorable holiday, I’ve complied a list of some of my favorite date night ideas that would serve as the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
Ice Skating or Snowshoeing
Skate or snowshoe together, hand-in-hand, at one of the local ice rinks or winter trails. My favorite ice rink is at Hagemeister Park on their back patio and my favorite place to snowshoe is at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. After you are done, enjoy a yummy hot chocolate and snuggle together to warm up.
Couple’s Crafting
Whether you found something on Pinterest you want to try or you are heading over to Hello Lemon Studio to be inspired, creating something together is so much fun! Plus you’ll have a great piece you can display in your home to remember this Valentine’s Day for years to come.
At-Home Movie Marathon
Instead of fighting the crowds at a movie theater, rent a few of your favorite movies and enjoy them right from your own couch! Each person pick a favorite movie the other hasn’t seen then throw in a random one and let the fun begin! Add some yummy snacks like popcorn and candy to make your living room feel like a theater!
Weekend Trip to Door County
Even though it’s winter, there are still a few hotels open in beautiful Door County. Take a drive up there for the weekend and stay in one of their adorable hotels. Stop at Door 44 (they’re open!) and pick up some wine for your trip. Spend your weekend enjoying the whirlpool tub and completely relaxing.
Wine Tasting or Brewery Tour
Plan a tour at a winery or a brewery you’ve always wanted to check out. No matter where you go, you are sure to have a fun time, learn a lot, and enjoy some delicious beverages! Here’s a list of brewery tours and wine tastings in Wisconsin.
Volunteer Together
If you and your beau want to spend your day helping others and making the world a better place, there are so many amazing volunteer opportunities. You could help out at an animal shelter, collect toys and clothes for those in need, donate blood, visit a nursing home, serve a meal at the homeless shelter, pick up litter at your local parks – the possibilities are endless! (Here’s just a few – Volunteer in Green Bay.)
Plan a Picnic
If you want to brave the cold, planning a winter picnic is a beautiful idea. Maybe you can make a fire and roast marshmallows and drink hot cocoa. Or you can plan an indoor picnic right in your home! Lay a blanket in the middle of the living room, fill the room with candlelight, snack on yummy cheese, and drink delicious wine. Either way, a picnic is always a good idea.
