Living with your partner and questioning what to do each day is a reality for most couples. Watching Netflix can get boring when done every day. If you want to brighten up your days or nights during a lockdown, check out the best lockdown date ideas in this article. They will be suitable even if you are on a budget or have little time for preparation. Consider these ideas to surprise your loved one and spend a wonderful time together.

Date ideas during lockdown if you are lucky to be with your partner

#1 Visit a zoo from home

Quarantine provides an excellent opportunity to gain new experiences without leaving home. Watch live cameras and see exotic animals without disturbing them. VR dating is a dating app trend that offers different experiences from ordinary zoom calls and chats. You can visit any place together or even meet people you could never meet in real life.

#2 Work out together

Trying a new, out-of-the-box workout together is a fun idea. With so many apps and courses for online fitness, you can choose whatever you want. From light yoga to intensive Crossfit workouts, you can pick the most suitable options for you both. It will also help you keep fit if you have to stay at home all day (too close to your fridge with yummy food). Different sports activities will help you see your partner from a different viewpoint and discover new things about your couple. It’s completely free if you decide to watch something on YouTube.

If you are not much into sports, you can go beyond and learn how to dance together. It is also an exciting and fat-burning way to spend time with your partner during quarantine. Turn on a special song you heard on your first date and spend a wonderful time dancing and remembering how you first met.

#3 Try cooking a new cuisine

Instead of ordering a take-in like usual, be more exquisite and add some freshness to your daily menu. Imagine that you are going on a date night to a new fancy restaurant. Discover new skills and learn more about different cultures. You can also improve on the recipes you cooked before and make them even tastier.

Pay attention to decorating your table if you want to have a fancier experience. Take your best tablecloth and cutlery to add more romance.

#4 Planning a holiday

When you feel overwhelmed by sitting in 4 walls for weeks, spice things up by planning your next trip together. Do some research on the chosen destinations and find out more about the places you would like to visit there. Explore the hotels and apartments in the area. Make a list of cities and sights you would like to see. Learn more about national cuisine and decide on what clothes to wear. You can go further and make a mood board for your future holiday. Hang it in a place you go past every day. This way, you both will be excited about your plans.

#5 Organize a SPA day

This is one of the most relaxing date night ideas in lockdown. This idea is lovely for women who are obsessed with body care. Grab your favorite lotion, scrub, and of course, bath foam, and spend a wonderful time with your partner. After a bath with all the stuff women like, give each other a massage with special scented oils. You can learn a few new massage techniques to pleasure your partner.

#6 A picnic (Indoors or outdoors)

If the idea of having a picnic in your apartment sounds hilarious, we will break down the myth that a good picnic can only be outdoors. Grab your blanket and put it on the floor. Make sandwiches, take some fruit and pour a glass of wine. Enjoy your meal together, savoring every moment.

#7 Try DIY activities

Crafts may not sound all that exciting, but don’t be so skeptical about it. Try making something together to liven up your interior. You can decorate or paint a vase, a pot, or a cup. Later, it will be a memory of these times you spent together. Painting pictures is also fun. If you are not sure about your painting skills, use a template. Search the Internet and buy special kits to craft anything you want.

#8 Make a photoshoot at home

You can even try remote photoshoots with photographers via Zoom. They tell you how to pose and then take a picture by making a screenshot. This is a good option for shy people. You can make vintage-style pictures if you have a special app with effects. Moreover, it is an excellent opportunity for women to dress up.

#9 Hosting a Zoom party

Missing your friends can be unbearable during quarantine. Remind people you want to see about the fun Fridays you had before the COVID-19 outbreak by inviting your friends to an online party. This is one of the funniest lockdown date ideas. Think of a dress code and online activities to do. Grab a bottle of wine and spend time joking and discussing the latest news.

#10 A hotel-like breakfast in bed

If earlier your breakfast was a cup of coffee and a sandwich in a rush, with the pandemic outbreak, it has gained an entirely new meaning. We no longer rush anywhere and have more time to dedicate to this meal. You can turn a special breakfast into your special ritual.

You can even turn it into a role-play and create a menu with hotel-style dishes to choose from. Let your partner choose a meal while still in bed. And then cook the dishes and serve them using nice plates and silverware. This idea will amaze even the most unromantic partner.

Enjoy your date ideas in lockdown

We hope that the ideas we listed will help rid you of boredom. Try them to bring more vividness to your daily life during a lockdown.
