Cooking together is not only fun, but a great way to bond over something you both enjoy so if you're looking to try something new in the kitchen look no further. Pick a recipe neither of you has ever tried, and go all out with the flair and gastronomy. Bonus points if you plate it like you're competing on MasterChef.

The blind-deaf-mute cooking challenge is another fun activity you could try. Have one person be blind folded and the other muted and attempt to successfully bake a recipe. Let the blindfolded person do the cooking while the mute attempt to guide them through the recipe.

Try your hand at making some custom candles exactly how you like them. With a candle-making kit, you can make your own custom candles, choosing scents that remind you of each other or colours that match your vibe. Not only will you have a bunch of homemade candles to light up your future date nights, but it’s a relaxing and fun way to spend an evening.

When it’s time for a night in, nothing beats the fun of a classic game night. Forget about scrolling endlessly, grab a board game and get ready for some friendly competition! If you’re looking for something new, these are some of the games I personally recommend. For a fast-paced, strategy game, I highly recommend Quoridor. It’s a game where you need to think fast and plan your moves carefully while sabotaging at every chance you get, trust me, it’ll keep you both on your toes. For something a bit more quirky, Yikerz is my go-to, it’s all about finding the best way to screw your partner over with your magnet placement, but it’s full of laughs (and maybe some playful frustration). If you’re looking for something that’s more about connecting, the Conversation Starter game we offer is a great pick. It comes with 50 questions ranging from deep and meaningful to fun, creative, and playful questions that sparks conversation, helping you and your partner open up and learn more about each other. If you have a Nintendo Switch and like competitive quiz games, I recommend Papa's Quiz or Jackbox Party Pack. If you enjoy these recommendations, reach out to us on our socials for more recommendations, I have PLENTY!
