Now that we’ve hit month nine of the pandemic, the typical at-home movie night date may have gotten a little old by now. While some restaurants and activities may be open, they aren’t always the safest option. Here are five innovative dates that are both safe and fun!

Grab a cozy blanket and some pillows and prepare your living room floor with an at-home picnic!
