A puzzle is the ultimate slow-date activity because it requires patience and collaboration. I picked a scenic landscape design because it’s visually soothing and doesn't feel like "work." It’s perfect for those deep, late-night conversations because ...

Instead of a big canvas, we tried painting postcards for each other. It’s less intimidating and feels more personal because you can write a message on the back when you're done. It’s a very cheap way to spark some creativity. Any Watercolor Paper and...
Watercolor Postcard Set
For a total throwback date, I got two of these cheap handheld consoles loaded with 400 games. We spent the whole night challenging each other to Mario and Contra. It’s high energy and brings out a really fun, competitive side of your partner. Any Sup...
Retro Handheld Game Console
We used this date to actually print out our phone photos and stick them in an old-school album. It’s so much more meaningful than just scrolling through an Instagram feed. We added stickers, wrote inside jokes, and laughed at our old hair styles. Any...
