5 fantastic products for a foodie-centric, at-home date night

Going to a local restaurant or bar for a dinner-date night or late night is a fun way to spend time with your S.O. However, sometimes, you may crave something a bit more intimate.

Move the restaurant, bar, and even beer-brewing process to your home. Cooking and making drinks together requires you to work as a team, strengthening your bond. Plus, it’s fun to toast to something with something you made yourselves. To step your home date-night games up, you’ll want to invest in some practical and fun products. These items will help you serve up a romantic and delicious evening with the one you love.

Create a meal that rivals anything with a Michelin star by investing in the right tools. This Thirteen Chefs commercial-grade cutting board brings a restaurant-quality surface to your kitchen. Slice and dice together without getting in each other’s way using the large 30 in. x 18 in. x .75 in. board. It’s thick, sturdy, and a cinch to clean when you’re done.
Love is sweet, and so is this versatile dough scraper and chopper. Use it to separate bread dough in perfect portions, make frosting or fondant look smooth or stylish, or cleanly cut pastry. You can even use it to cut through pizza dough or vegetables. It’s sharp and sturdy, helping you get the job done. When your date night ends, it’s simple to clean and store away.
An aperitif and digestif can help an at-home date feel like a sophisticated night out. This 15-piece craft bartender kit has all the tools you need to create your beverage of choice, whether you prefer it shaken or stirred. It includes a martini maker and mojito muddler. It also comes with recipe cards that will inspire your next creation and show you how to craft it.
Cocktails aren’t the only drinks you can DIY these days. Beer-making kits, soda streams, and even Kombucha fermenting sets are all the rage now. Practically, you need a place to store your beverage, though. These functional yet cute glass bottles have ceramic stoppers and stainless-steel closures that ensure your drink stays fresh and, if applicable, fizzy until you’re ready to say, “Bottoms up.”
When it comes to date nights at home, the devil is often in the details. A little ambiance can go a long way. Lighting candles ups the romance factor. These unique sphere-shaped candles add an element of subtle intrigue to your table. They are fragrance-free, making them ideal for people who get bothered easily by scents.

Moving date night to your kitchen and living room may sound boring at face value, but it presents endless ways to enhance your bond. Making a meal together can be memorable and delicious. You’ll work together as a team and aren’t limited to food prep. These days, you can even make your own drinks, including beer, soda, and cocktails. You’ll want to have bottles to put your beverage in and a bartender kit to craft specialty cocktails, such as the signature drink from your wedding. Make sure you have a study cutting board so you can slice and dice like a chef and tools to make sweet treats, like a pastry cutter. Finally, place some candles on the table to up the romance.
