Blanket fort
Build a fort of blankets and pillows, switch off the big light and have dinner inside by fairy lights.Winter date ideas
Dumplings from scratch
Make dumplings from scratch together, each of you inventing a secret filling. At the table, guess whose is whose.
Home cinema with tickets
Draw tickets, make popcorn and pick the film in turns: one of you chooses the genre, the other the title.
Home spa
Face masks, warm socks, calm music and hand massages in turns. Phones stay in the other room.
🔗 Handy: Breathe togetherThree-game tournament
Three games, three rounds and a prize for the winner agreed in advance. For example Ludo, Categories and a deck of cards.
🔗 Handy: CategoriesPicnic on the floor
Lay a blanket in the middle of the room, make sandwiches and fruit, and play forest sounds in the background.
Baking almost without a recipe
Bake a cake or cookies and look at the recipe only once. Intuition and laughter do the rest.
A puzzle and a podcast
Spread out a 500-piece puzzle and play a podcast or audiobook in the background. The conversation comes by itself.
Pilot night
Pick a series neither of you has seen and watch only the first episode. Then vote: do we keep going?
Screen-free evening
Switch off every screen and the big light for the evening. Candles, board games and talking stay.
Massage night
Oil, a towel and one rule: each of you gets fifteen minutes of massage, unhurried and with no talk about work.
Bubble bath and a playlist
Hot water, lots of bubbles, a favourite playlist and a mug of something warm. The rest of the world can wait.
Gingerbread portraits
Bake gingerbread and decorate it with icing portraits of each other. The artist eats the ugliest one.
Cocoa and plans for next year
A mug of cocoa and one sheet of paper: three things you want to do together next year. The sheet goes on the fridge.
One-director marathon
Pick a director and watch three of their films in a row, with breaks for food and for rankings.
Ice rink and hot chocolate
Laps on the ice, holding hands for safety and hot chocolate to warm up.
A Christmas market
A Christmas market, mulled wine or hot cider in a mug and one ornament that will remind you of this evening every year.
Hot springs in midwinter
Thermal baths or a pool with a hot tub while it is freezing outside. Warm water, steam and cold air all around.
Sledding like kids
Find a hill, borrow a sled and ride until your noses freeze. Then hot tea with raspberry syrup.
A snowman with character
Build a snowman that looks like one of you. A photo is mandatory, and so is a caption.
The sea off-season
In winter the beach is empty and beautiful. A walk along the shore, fish from a place that is still open and a talk by the sound of the waves.
A walk in the first snow
Go out as soon as the first snow falls. Footprints on an empty pavement, a snow angel and back home for hot tea.
A first ski lesson
If neither of you skis, book one lesson together. Falls are guaranteed, and so is laughter.
A few tips
- Always have an indoor plan B. Winter likes to change the forecast at the last minute.
- A thermos of tea turns any walk into a date. Add raspberry syrup or ginger.
- Short days mean more evenings. Use them for things there is no time for in summer.
What to do on a winter date?
Outside: an ice rink, sledding, a snowman, a Christmas market or a walk in the first snow. Inside: hot springs, gingerbread, puzzles, a home spa and a film under a blanket.
What is a good idea for a winter evening date?
Cocoa and plans for next year, a blanket fort or gingerbread portraits. Warm, close and no going out into the cold.
A date is just the start
In Liskove a game, a question and a small ritual wait for every evening. After the date there is your shared fox, which grows with every moment together.
