Videos

Moonlit Beach

If you have a small snack or folding table, move it in front of the TV, place a folded white tablecloth over it with 2 candles. Make an amazing homemade meal or buy favorite takeout and have a private dinner on the beach by moonlight. You can also lay down on a soft blanket together for more waves when you’re finished eating. 

Magic Carpet Ride

Experience a whole new world of relaxation and romance among the clouds with a magic carpet ride. The best method is to use an air mattress or pull your mattress off your bed in front of the TV on the floor. (Obviously the air mattress is much easier to set up.) Throw a sheet or blanket over it to complete the set up. The air mattress will give slightly as you sit on it which will give the illusion of movement. It’s also a comfortable bed instead of a hard floor. You can spend the night there also to have a little change from the bedroom. 

Snowy Cabin

Use the excuse that you’re snowed in for the night in a cozy cabin to sit down and talk about the things you are usually too busy during the week to talk about. Share some hopes, goals, or dreams with your partner so you can both be on the same page instead of zipping by each other doing all the things that need to be done around the house. 

Eiffel Tower Picnic

In advance buy some French bread, 2 types of her favorite cheese and paper plates. Cut the bread into small pieces and slice in half. Wrap aluminum foil around a paper plate and place the cut bread stacked on top to make it look nicer. Move the furniture and lay out a tablecloth or blanket in front of your TV. Place the cheese and a butter knife on a cutting board or plate. Some wine or sparkling apple cider in wine glasses would be the final touch for a night picnic in Paris with the Eiffel Tower lit up in the background.

Jungle Waterfall

Spread a soft blanket on the floor and prepare a picnic lunch with some chicken fingers or other favorite simple small foods and snacks.  Have some fruity drinks ready and enjoy the sounds and visuals of a jungle waterfall together. Use paper plates so there is no clean up or dirty dishes to worry about after. This is also a perfect time to present a small gift or play a simple game together.  

NYC Rooftop

In advance buy some New York cheesecake to share on a NYC rooftop in the rain. This is a great way to close the evening with something creative if you went out on a basic movie, shopping, or dinner date. Just let your beloved know you have a surprise for dessert after your date out. Wind down at home to the soothing sound of rainfall and see how the night ends. 

Crackling Fireplace

Move the furniture, lay out a blanket on the floor in front of your TV, turn off the lights, make some hot chocolate, and let the fire warm you both up in more ways than one. Add an extra blanket to cover you both in addition to the one you are laying on. Make sure to check the volume of the video as the fire crackling can get pretty loud and annoying after a while. If you have a small space heater, place it on the floor near your feet so it feels like a real fireplace. 

Venice Gondola

In advance make or buy Italian food, place candles on the coffee table in front of the TV, turn off the lights, choose this gondola ride scene and pause it. Invite your loved one to the prepared meal, tell her you'd like to take her on a special ride for dinner and press play. You can also get some mini cannoli’s for dessert to keep the Italy theme. 

Sleeping Train Car

Place an inflatable mattress in front of your TV with some favorite late night snacks and enjoy the sleep train car ride together into the night. This is a great time to just sit and have a conversation until it’s time for bed. Make a full breakfast for your partner in the morning. 

Private Spa

Your very own private spa at home is the perfect place to give your partner a relaxing massage. Click the link for more details. Find out what really relaxes you both. A few candles placed around the room will add to the moment with a soft glow and a pleasant aroma. 

Northern Lights

Watching the northern lights dancing in the sky is very magical. Lay out a few thick blankets on the floor. Learn some basic magic tricks to impress your partner for laughs. Make sure it is a really dark night out before you begin for the best effect. All the light should be coming from the screen and dancing around the room. 

Sunset Pool

Get dressed in your bathing suits and grab a few towels for a private sunset pool. Lay the towels on the floor and turn the heat up so it’s really warm. Make some fruity drinks in a blender together along with the little umbrellas in the glass. If you have any beach chairs or loungers, bring those inside and clean them off. See how the night finishes with no one around.
