Post a Favorite Date Idea & Win a Date Night Gift Basket for Two

For a fun and inexpensive date night, take your honey and yourself out to as many of the local "spots" and see how many pictures you can take of yourselves kissing in front of these locations! It'll get ur brains and hearts pumping trying to come up with as many new places as possible and hurrying to get to them. For a bonus, post them on Facebook as you go. Ur friends and family will get a laugh out of it and it will horrify ur kids...lol...Just make sure ur final destination of the night is a great little spot so you both can relax and review ur pictures.

Beginning the evening by cooking a meal together is the perfect date.

Although it may sound cliche or corny, yesterday we were able to have a picnic on the beach. We have a real picnic basket with the little checkered blanket and all so it was wonderful. And on top of that, it was a surprise! A surprise like that is always nice. However, knowing not everyone is close to water or warm weather with it being the end of October, we also made a trip to a local store to people watch and roam the aisles. As simple as it sounds, it can be really entertaining. If it's a new relationship, it's a fun way to learn about the things the other person likes or doesnt like, if it's a long term relationship or marriage, its fun to get out and be silly and just be together!

Cuddle up by the fire with a romantic movie and a bottle of wine and finger foods.

It doesn't matter what we do as long as we spend time with each other. I love to go for a bike ride together with my husband, I love to go to a movie theater to see a new film, I love to do photoshoots with him, go for a nice long walk, holding hands and talking or nice restaurant. Everyone needs to take time to nurture the relationship! :)

My idea of a pretty perfect date is taking a stroll around a lake, river or any moving water. It is peaceful. Stop along the way & eat some snacks, talk to each other, looking into one another's eyes! With our busy lives, too many of us just don't take the time to really show how we care for the other. And the best part is LISTEN to your loved one, don't interrupt, let them pour out their heart to you.

Lately our dates have been simple and wonderful! I bought a long cable so that we could bring a tv outside near the outdoor fireplace and watch my husbands favorite team in the baseball playoffs, while enjoying a little wine and fire. Other nites we put on music and make homemade pizzas on the grill. Life is good!

In our one income home, I cook most of the meals. Going to a restaurant once a week is a treat for us, and it makes a fabulous date night. I love to catch up on his business, tell him funny stories about our kids, and just RELAX! Skip the movie and just spend time reconnecting.

Date night can be exhausting after a long day at work. Make plans, get re-dressed, get a babysitter, etc. One of our favorite "date nights" consists of nothing more than putting the kids down early and heading outside with a glass of wine and a fire in the firepit. The conversation flows freely and we are able to unwind and reconnect without the extra stress. Plus, our backyard is always waiting so no preplanning is required!

We love to build a fire in the firepit and have a galss of wine just talking and enjoying our backyard .

Money is almost always tight, so my husband and I take some time together and "dream" while walking around the home improvement stores. He often has to get something for a job or return something, so we go together and check out the bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, light fixtures. Sometimes we are getting ideas for a current project, but usually we are "planning" bathroom or kitchen remodel that may or may not happen any time soon! But it's fun to share those ideas!

Take a cooking class together or dinner and a movie is always a good choice!

My favorite date is to grab a picnic basket filled with meats, cheeses, fruit, etc. and a blanket and head out to our local winery. Our winery has live music on weekends. Depending on the weather we can stay from afternoon into evening. As it gets dark outside and the temperature drops we move closer together. Many fall evenings we have stayed until closing time. We rush home and warm up with a bottle of wine we've purchased there!

My I deal of a perfect date is in a log cabin in the woods snuggled up by the fire haveing a glass of wine looking at the stars and just talking and relaxing.

Go to the drive in Drive ins are often old and run down but that's a lot of the fun! Make sure you bring a truck or a big SUV (cars just aren't as fun) and a lot of pillow/blankets. You can buy pizza or food and drinks elsewhere and bring it in to avoid using the snackbar (expensive, too). These are the cheapest movies around
