At-home date night ideas that are actually fun
Trust these LEGO® sets to give your quality time a creative spin
Candlelight dinner, a bottle of red and a pièce de résistance dessert is the usual Valentine’s Day checklist. As couples, both new and old swarm outdoors, headfirst into a tsunami of scarlet red you may be tempted to plan something offbeat. If you’re looking to celebrate only with your significant other instead of the whole world, we have a more intimate idea for you (wink.) Settle in with a pizza, a romantic playlist, and toys. Not the kind you’re thinking of, we’re talking about LEGO® sets. It won’t last as long as a five-course meal, but it allows you some quiet time to reconnect with your partner.
From a bouquet to a Corvette, you can use these cute sets as cues to plan a themed date night or simply dip into nostalgia as you build your own masterpiece together. You can match it to your individual interests or pick one that highlights a special moment in your relationship. Either way, your night in will hardly be ‘boring.’
