Ideas for a cosy date night in

Thankfully you don't have to venture from home to have a date night. The beauty of a date night in is that once the kids are in bed you can enjoy quality time as a couple from the comfort of your own home. Whether you watch movies together on a Panasonic wireless home cinema system or enjoy a meal for two at home date nights in at home can be the ideal solution for couples with kids who struggle to make date nights out work for them.

To help keep the fires burning here are a few ideas for a Cosy date night in -

Takeaway | Fakeaway

Whilst having a meal together may be considered ordinary making the night that little bit more special than any other night with a takeaway or fakeaway can be a simple way of having a date night in together. Taking the time to eat together can also be a great setting for talking and listening to each other.

Having a takeaway can take the stress out of cooking and allows both people in the relationship to have a night away from slaving away in front of the oven.
