In times of…. well, you know. Date night options have become limited, forcing us to think outside the box. You can only make a reservation so many times, and at this point, you and your lover’s favorite take-out has become redundant! So I have come up with 5 things you will need to set a romantic setting for two! Whether this be in your living room, in the city on your rooftop deck, or down by the ocean. Here is what you will need to create a special memory, that he or she will never forget!

1. Something to Sit On: This can be a Turkish towel or blanket, a 4x6 rug, or even a sheet!

2. 4-6 Pillows: Grab those cute fluffy pillows off of the guest bed that never get used.

3. A Small Table: Surely you have a cute foot stool or side table sitting some place around the house, or ooo! A pouf will work just fine too.

4. Romantic Lights: Lighting is everything. I suggest battery powered string lights (Amazon $12) and a few candles. This will really set the mood!

5. Sips & Bites: Do something different for heaven’s sake! Well…keep the champagne, but dress up whatever it is you’re snacking on with caviar… trust me. My favorite caviar is made by Petrossian Paris.
