Stay in and cook an Italian feast

As far as cheap date night ideas go, it’s hard to look past a romantic Italian meal. Oh, the flavours, the colours; the passion Italians bring to cooking! Quite frankly, it’s one of the best Sydney date night ideas in history. But if a night out in the CBD seems too expensive and you want to stay in we can help you transform one of the best indoor activities into a stay-at-home classic.
First, see if you can find a way for your partner to leave the house. This isn’t crucial, but good date ideas tend to come with an element of surprise, so if you can usher them out the door to walk the dog or go for a jog or look at a tree, you’ll earn more brownie points. Even if they can’t leave, convince them to amuse themselves away from your kitchen/living room situation. If they don’t live with you, this is one of the best first date ideas on the more affordable side.
Now, this next part is crucial to making this one of the most memorable at home date ideas. Decorate your dining room in a creative, restaurant-centric way. For instance, add a fresh tablecloth to your table, dim the lights and organise some sort of candle situation on the table (if you want to make your own candles, check out our candle making classes). Add a bottle of red or a bottle of white - it all depends upon your appetite - and serve up some homemade, authentic Italian pizza!
Learn how to make traditional Italian pizza with a cooking kit that takes your average date ideas and turbocharges the romance! With a box full of fresh ingredients for you and your partner to sink their teeth into, you’ll be cooking up a storm in the kitchen in no time. A little bit of effort goes a long long way when chasing date night ideas at home.
Unleash creativity with artsy date night ideas
Truth be told, there are a wide variety of arts and craft kits that make for great gift experiences for couples in Sydney and fun things to do at home. You know your partner better than we do, so if one of our soap making workshops is the thing that’ll get you and your partner scrubbing up the affection, you go for it. If getting dirty with a kokedama workshop sounds like the ideal date idea for you and your human, go nuts. But if you’re chasing cute date night ideas that are a little bit more general, we can help too.
It’s no secret that our virtual paint and sip classes are one of our most popular romantic things to do in Sydney at night. Creating art with a glass of wine in hand alongside your partner has always been one of the most unique and effective date night ideas we’ve offered, and there are a few tips and tricks you can do to make that same experience one of the cutest at home date night ideas around.
Don’t worry too much about equipment; the craft box delivered directly to your door will see to that. Transforming a space into an art studio is a great way to add a touch of significance to the evening and if you’re stuck indoors for extended periods of time, this can help break up the aesthetic and help avoid going stir-crazy.
So get a nice bottle of bubbly, don your finest smock and even duck out and pick up a few cheap berets to truly complete the look (or, to really up your game, make your own and get reacquainted with your sewing machine here), and you’ll have yourself a fun and colourful artistic evening with your special someone!
Shake up your date night with a mixology class

One of the classic date nights is going out for a few cheeky cocktails. They take a while to drink, which gives you plenty of time to chat and talk and get to know each other, and we’ve got the perfect indoor activities for just such an occasion. Learn cocktail making with your local mixologists and receive all the ingredients to make drinks for you to savour at home!
You’ll get all the necessary cocktail equipment, and ingredients and with some classes, even the alcohol! So instead of resigning yourself to sharing another six-pack, get together and master easy cocktail recipes, shake up some tasty gin cocktails, or indulge in espresso martinis or mojitos for a delectable after-dinner treat.
This is one of the best date night ideas to enjoy at home because it takes an activity you’re already doing (drinking at home) and gives it a touch of flair. If you have a bit of a budget to work with, this is a wonderful opportunity to combine both the cocktail making and the pizza making, so you can make your at home date night ideas as immersive as possible.
No matter what your budget is, there’s always a way to make date night at home a special occasion. These online classes and DIY kits are some of our favourites for couples in Sydney who want to stay in and get creative with their date nights. So if you’re looking for something unique, fun, creative and romantic, we’ve got you covered!
