Living Room Campout
Transform your living room into a cozy campsite for a night of indoor camping fun, filled with storytelling and stargazing.
- The date begins with both of you moving the furniture aside to create space in the middle of the living room. You lay down a large blanket to sit on and set up a small, indoor-friendly tent or fort using sheets, pillows, and fairy lights for a cozy, intimate ambiance.
- Once the campsite is ready, you both prepare some simple, campfire-style snacks together, such as s'mores made in the oven or microwave, hot dogs cooked on the stovetop, and popcorn. You arrange these on a picnic blanket inside your tent, along with a thermos of hot chocolate or your favorite drinks.
- After enjoying your snacks, you turn off all the lights except for the fairy lights and spend the rest of the evening sharing stories, playing card or board games, and maybe even projecting a movie on a blank wall to watch from the comfort of your tent. Before the night ends, you lay back to โstargazeโ under a makeshift sky of glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to the ceiling.
Preparation steps:
- First, you'll need to gather all the materials for your indoor campsite: sheets, pillows, fairy lights, and if available, a small tent. Donโt forget glow-in-the-dark stars for the ceiling to create your night sky indoors.
- Next, plan and prepare your campfire-style snacks. This could involve getting ingredients for s'mores, hot dogs, and popcorn. Make sure you have a thermos for hot chocolate or any other beverage you and your partner enjoy.
- Lastly, either pick out a few board games or prepare a playlist of movies that you can project onto a wall. Ensure all electronic devices are charged, and if you're going for a movie night, test your projector setup beforehand to avoid technical difficulties.

Some tips:
- To make the fort or tent more comfortable, add plenty of soft pillows and blankets. String the fairy lights around the entrance or inside the tent for extra coziness.
- Create a special playlist of songs that mean something to both of you or fit the camping theme to play in the background throughout the evening.
- To make the stargazing more realistic, in addition to the glow-in-the-dark stars, you can use a projector to display a night sky or simply enjoy the fairy lights as your stars.
