Classic Dates

Progressive Dinner

Photo Scavenger Hunt

Cheap Shopping

A People-Watching Picnic

Explore the City

• Climb aboard a bus or train and explore your city. If you live in a city with areas that aren't safe, double-check to make sure you don't accidentally end up in one of them.
  
  

Ice Cream Art

• Sculpt an ice cream statue. Buy two tubs of ice cream, a variety of different toppings like chocolate sauce, sprinkles, peanuts, chocolate chips and candy. Use spoons and knives to carve your block into a work of art. It's very messy, but delicious.
  
  

Window Shopping

• Buy a smoothie, then go window shopping in the mall. Point out things you like and would love to own one day. You might even pick up a few new ideas for your date's birthday.
  
  

Cheap Movie Night

• Instead of going to the cinema, have a date night at home. Buy some popcorn, soft drink and rent a cheap weekly film from the local video store.
  
  

Build A Snowman
