Today I’m sharing tips for at home date night via this sponsored post in partnership with Breyers Gelato Indulgences and the Mom It Forward Blogger Network.
Whenever I talk to my friends about date night, we all say the same thing… “who has time for that”? And although I totally agree, time alone with my husband is hard to come by, I also know that it is really important for us to find the time. I sat down and really tried to map out some nights where I could block out some time on our calendar to get dinner or see a movie. Unfortunately there really isn’t any time for at least the next couple months when our travel schedules slow down for the holidays.
Not wanting to let time slow me down, I did the next best thing. I planned a surprise date night for us that same night. The best part… we didn’t even have to leave our house. No need to get a babysitter. No need to make reservations and we could easily get other things done that we needed to do both right before and right after.
We had an impromptu Breyers Gelato Indulgences at home date night! Breyers Gelato Indulgences features a rich trio of textures: creamy gelato, luscious sauce, and gourmet toppings. That means I didn’t have to think about anything but which flavor to eat! It was awesome!
After this first date I learned a few tips for at home date nights that will help anyone with any amount of time (or lack thereof) plan an awesome night in!
Tip One: Work with whatever time and place you have. Only have half an hour? No problem! That’s good. Have two hours? Even better! Don’t sweat the amount of time you have. Enjoy whatever time you have!
Tip Two: Grab some good food. Nothing makes a date night better than something delicious to enjoy together. Pete and I had Breyers Gelato Indulgences on our at home date night. It was the perfect treat and there is a flavor for everyone!
Breyers Gelato Indulgences is available in eight deliciously indulgent flavors:
- Breyers Gelato Indulgences Vanilla Caramel features creamy vanilla gelato topped with luscious caramel sauce and gourmet caramelly curls
- Breyers Gelato Indulgences Raspberry Cheesecake features cheesecake gelato topped with luscious raspberry sauce and gourmet graham crumble
- Breyers Gelato Indulgences Tiramisu features mascarpone gelato topped with espresso sauce, ladyfinger cookie pieces and sprinkled with gourmet cocoa
- Breyers Gelato Indulgences Triple Chocolate features milk chocolate and dark chocolate gelatos topped with white chocolate sauce and chocolatey curls
- Breyers Gelato Indulgences Cappuccino features cappuccino gelato topped with a foamy cream swirl and gourmet chocolate chips
- Breyers Gelato Indulgences Strawberry Truffle features strawberry gelato topped with a rich fudge swirl and gourmet dark chocolatey truffles
- Breyers Gelato Indulgences Mint Chocolate features refreshing mint gelato topped with a rich fudge swirl and gourmet chocolate curls
- Breyers Gelato Indulgences Chocolate Caramel features chocolate gelato topped with luscious caramel sauce and gourmet chocolate curls
Pete’s favorite was the Chocolate Caramel and mine was the Mint Chocolate.
I love that they have toppings already in them so I just had to scoop them out and eat them! Since our date night was limited as far as time goes this was really helpful… and tasty!
Breyers Gelato Indulgences are the ultimate indulgence for the perfect date night at home. The combination of rich gelato, luscious sauce and gourmet toppings inspires and elevates the best moments of your day. Knowing that we were going to enjoy these made our night even more fun!
Tip Three: Watch a favorite movie or TV show. We had enough time to watch a movie, but we won’t always so watching a TV Show is just as good!
You are hungry now aren’t you? Thankfully Breyers Gelato Indulgences are available in grocery stores nationwide in a 28.5 oz clear tub, showcasing the gelato with its luscious sauce and gourmet toppings. They retail for a suggested prize of $4.49-$5.99. We bought four of them so that we could have a scoop of each. I highly recommend doing the same!
My husband and I love Breyer’s Gelato. We indulge all the time 😉
Breyer’s Gelato is our favorite. What a great idea to have on a date night.
Gelato is the best idea ever for date night. Actually… it’s the best idea for any night. Mmmmm. Gelato…
The Breyer’s Gelato sounds amazing. I almost bought some the other day when I saw these at Walmart. Now I need to go back and get some!
I’m thinking I’ll just take myself on a stay at home date next date night. I don’t want to share this! LOL
I love doing an at home date night! They are one of my favorite things to do! I have never tried Gelato, it looks awesome! We might use this for our next date night.
Fun! I did a post about indoor date nights too but none of them included the deliciousness of this gelato!!! Yum!
Oh my goodness! Breyers Gelato Indulgences look fabulous. I too am a big believer in date nights. Spending time alone is precious!
I love Breyers Gelato! I think it would be a great date night dessert, most definitely. Now to just to find time for a date night!
This looks like an amazing date night idea. I would love to try the strawberry gelato and the cappuccino flavors, it would be great to just relax with my husband and enjoy a sweet treat.
What a great idea for a date night. The hubs and I have not done this for quite a while. Popcorn and ice cream are his favorites.
When the kids were small, my husband and I had most of our date nights at home after the kids were in bed. These are all great tips and that gelato looks delicious.
Date night is sooo important. Even if it is at home and Gelato… hmm one of my favs.
I think my husband would be super disappointed in a date night with Gelato. I wouldn’t share it! 😉
I love gelato. These flavors all sound so delicious I can’t wait to try them all! We’re big into ice cream in our house and gelato is amazing.
After reading your post I am ready for a home date night! Those ice creams look delicious, I have to check them out, thanks! 😀
This stuff looks really awesome! I love gelato and really need to buy some!
OMG!! This is Ice cream looks to die for!! YUM!!! Date night with DH tends to be in the hot tub. We bought it for that reason!
I can’t tell you how many times we have done this for date night! We often can’t get a baby sitter every week. So a lot of the time we get a special treat like Breyers Gelato and watch a good movie or TV show after the kids go to bed.
At home dates are the best! No need to worry about driving. You can get comfy in your own home. What matter is the quality time right?
My hubby and I need to have more date nights. And those gelatos look like the perfect treat for us to have!
Those look really good! I have not had the gelato before. What a nice variety of flavors!
These gelatos flavors are so good. My boyfriend and I should really pick some up for a date night.
Well, we don’t have weekly date nights, but we try to take time to watch at least one program together every night. Then every couple of weeks, we take a night to ourselves. I love those Gelatos… so yummy
It is so hard to get a date night with y hubby! Thanks for the great tips!
That would be great for a movie night at home with your spouse. It’s been a while since hubby and I did this kind of thing so thanks for the inspiration.
I love Breyer’s ice cream! I just got back from a two month vacation in Italy so you can imagine how much gelato I ate, lol! When I’m back home, Breyer’s is one of my top choices!
That Gelato sounds so tasty. I love date nights at home.
There’s a not at home kind of date night? I’m kidding, of course, but it seems like this is what my wife and I do the most of. Partly it’s because we enjoy it, partly its out of necessity.
Any date night that involves Breyer’s is right up my alley! My husband and I both love ice cream and these new gelato indulgences sound so good.
I love Gelato. I will have to get Breyers Gelato Indulgences Tiramisu flavor first. It is a great treat for date night.
This looks so delicious. I would love to try the Breyers Gelato Indulgences Raspberry Cheesecake. Date nights are a great way to enjoy some time to yourselves.
These look heavenly and I would love to have them all right now. I am going to pick these up on my next shopping trip.
Breyers is one of my favorite brands! I need to try these Gelato flavors!
I love ice cream and this gelato is so delicious. I agree you don’t need to go out to have a date =)
We do at home date nights all the time! I love this gelato, I have never tried the Mint kind, yummy!
New line of Breyers ice-cream. Looks good.
Date nights are super important. I know that I need to set some time to have a date with my husband. It’s very important. Now about that Gelato, it looks so amazing. I need to try it.
Really love the idea of date night at home. It definitely saves money. Thanks for the suggestions and that Gelato looks delicious.
Sounds like a perfect date / movie night! We love ice cream and popcorn!
I would love to have a weekly date night! I haven’t had a date night in months!
Great suggestions! My hubby would love the Breyers Chocolate Caramel Gelato. We’d probably sit back, relax and catch up on movies we missed while indulging in delicious tubs of gelato!
A lot of times datenight for us involves going out to eat or getting take out and a redbox or netflix movie. We’re easy for sure. Gelato from Breyers would just top the night off right!
As a mother of four we have to sneak in every second we can!
Sometimes we just sit outside in the hot tub and share a glass of wine for 30 mintues be fore we have to race out the door again.
Truly awesome tips! Date night will become better with this.
You’re right, I’m really hungry now. I love Breyers Gelato Indulgences and my favorite flavor is Tiramisu. Yummy!
I’ve yet to try Breyer’s Gelato! That cappuccino one looks REALLY yum!!! I need to get some and indulge this weekend!
Unfortunately we don’t have weekly date nights since we so busy with work and now with baby arriving soon its getting harder. Definitely going to take your suggestion and plan something at home.
We used to have weekly date nights. It’s been w little crazy around my house the past 3 weeks so e haven’t. I would love to try this stuff I haven’t ever trie this gelato.
Oh, how scrumptious! I love, love gelato, so I will definitely look into these flavors. They would make the perfect addition for a at-home date night with my husband!
