Have an Indoor Picnic

Online Cooking Classes
If you’ve got a lot of free time, why not try doing an online cooking class together? There are thousands of cooking classes online. Talk about what dish you want to cook together and find the right cooking class for that.

Dress Up
Celebrating something? Take off those sweatpants and make a little effort. Wear your favorite dress, do your hair, and throw on some makeup. Have a date night at home. Even if you’re isolating separately and communicating over Facetime, it’s fun to dress up once in a while and pretend you’re both going out for a fun night.
Cook Dinner Together
Whip up a feast and make something from any of the ingredients in your pantry. Learn new recipes or cook your favorite meals together and just have fun. Once that’s done, set up a candlelit dinner and end your day with a romantic dance in the kitchen. Sounds pretty awesome, right?
Sing Karaoke
Whether you have the voice or not, singing karaoke is a great date idea. It’s even more fun when you’re both bad at it. By the end, you’ll both be crying with laughter.
You can step it up a notch by doing blind karaoke. Start by selecting a song and putting on your headphones so you’ll be the only one to hear it. Then, put on a blindfold. This is a great activity since you can’t see your partner’s reaction so feel free to sing your heart out! And the best part? You can’t hear yourself.
DIY Spa
Do you miss going to the spa? It will probably take a few more months before you can enjoy a luxurious spa experience again. So why not have a DIY spa at home and train your partner at providing at-home treatments.
