Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and whether you’re planning to keep it low-key or add a touch of romance, we’ve got you covered with casual and unique date night ideas that make love the main event. From cozy nights in to tips for getting date-night-ready, here’s how to make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable.
Date Night Ideas: Going Out or Staying In
1. Explore Your Town Like Tourists
Bundle up (this is northern Minnesota, after all!) and check out a local landmark, scenic trail, or hidden gem you’ve never visited together. Follow it up with coffee and pastries at your favorite café or split a sundae like you’re in an old-school rom-com.
2. Ice Skating Under the Stars
Channel your inner figure skater (or hockey pro) and hit a nearby outdoor rink. Nothing says romance like holding hands as you glide across the ice. Afterwards, warm up with hot chocolate and treats. Check out our article HERE about creating the Ultimate Hot Chocolate Bar.
3. Create Your Own Drive-In Movie
Weather permitting, set up your own mini drive-in with blankets, snacks, and a laptop in the back of the truck. Bonus: Bring along RONNINGS’ cozy throw blankets to keep you warm. For extra romance, add some fairy lights or lanterns for ambiance.
4. Cook (or Bake!) Together
Pick a new recipe and tackle it together in the kitchen. Whether it’s heart-shaped pizzas, wild rice soup, or chocolate-dipped strawberries, it’s all about teamwork. Pro tip: Check out our gourmet food items to add a unique twist to your menu. THIS COOKBOOK has a bunch of fun ideas for couples who love to bake.
5. DIY Spa Night
Treat yourselves to a relaxing evening with face masques, scented body sprays, and luxurious soaps from RONNINGS. Light some candles, soak your feet, and just unwind. Guys, this isn’t just for the ladies—our manly scented soaps and beard care products will have you feeling just as refreshed.
6. Movie Marathon & Chill
Build a fort (yes, seriously), load it up with pillows, and binge your favorite rom-coms, thrillers, or classics. Don’t forget the popcorn and candy—you’ll find plenty of treats in our store to complete the vibe.
7. Play "Table Topics: Date Night Conversations"
We carry this fun card game designed to spark laughter, deep talks, and even a little flirtation. It’s the perfect way to connect and learn something new about each other—even if you’ve been together for years.
Get Ready to Impress
The right prep can make any date night even better. Take some time to treat yourself before settling in for a cozy evening:
-
For Her: Indulge in a hydrating face masque, spritz on your favorite perfume, and give your hair a boost with our shine-enhancing sprays. Pair it all with a cozy-yet-stylish outfit from our Valentine’s Day collection—think soft sweaters and flattering jeans.
-
For Him: Start with a refreshing bar of Duke Cannon soap, tame the beard with some balm (check out our Beard & Brew Bundle), and finish with a spritz of cologne. Our casual button-downs and flannel shirts keep things polished but relaxed.
