13 Date Night Gift Basket Ideas

Sharing a collection of date night gift basket ideas. You can make them at home or buy ready-made ones.

Date nights are harder to come by, especially whenever kids come into the picture, or life just happens with busy schedules. So lately, we’ve had more date nights in than date nights out.

You can still make those nights extra special with these special date night ideas. We put together 13 date night gift basket ideas that include fun activity items like a fondue to a bubble bath.

Some of these you can purchase pre-packaged and some you assemble yourself! (And in that case, you can buy a basket, make your own or repurpose and recycle our Easter basket ideas for adults.) 

Either way, your partner will feel all the love with whichever date night gift basket you choose!
