Everyone loves being spoiled, so why not win over your significant other’s affections by catering to him or her for a night? Turning your living room into a spa and treating your date to massage oil and bubble bath not only shows thoughtfulness, but is blissfully romantic. Your date will love the attention and relaxation this date has in store. Much cheaper than sending one’s honey to the actual spa, an at-home relaxation session allows a couple to spend some one-on-one time together. Best of all, the offer can be reciprocated, as you two each take turns pampering each other.
The intimate nature of a date such as this allows a couple to bond not only physically, but emotionally. Massages, bubble baths, and foot rubs make this date sizzle. Aphrodisiacs such as chocolate-covered strawberries or wine are a great touch. He or she is sure to be moved by your selflessness and romantic side. By treating each other like royalty, a pair practices the “give-and-take” nature of relationships in an enjoyable way. It also can illustrate the fact that the two are always there to soothe or console each other when they are having rough days.
What materials does one need to make this dream date come true?
- Massage oil
- Bubble bath/Mud bath
- Candles (to create a peaceful atmosphere)
- Wine
- Chocolate-dipped strawberries

*Please note that these items are just suggestions and you can choose from many spa treatments to make this date unique such as manicures, pedicures, face masks, and mud baths.
Although idealistic, an at-home spa date is very practical. Not only is it inexpensive, but you don’t have to leave your home! This means you don’t have to spend extra money on gas or public transportation and that you and your mate get to enjoy this wonderful date indoors in a warm, dry environment. There could be no better place for a date in the winter in Toronto, when the temperatures hit the negatives and the snow is violently blowing about.
