There are a few that I absolutely love and Echo North is one of them 😍 The first time I enjoyed this story, it was in audiobook form - so when I got the physical copy, I practically swooned over the cover and the interior 😱

I also love Strange the Dreamer and the Shades of Magic title pages! 📚

I was so desperate to read The Hunger Games in high school that I posted on Facebook asking if I could borrow them from anyone who owned them (since the library had ridiculous holds and, at the time, I couldn’t afford to buy) 🙈 An extended family member offered to ship me her set to borrow and when the box arrived, I realized she bought me my own box set! 😱 It was an awesome gift (and I thoroughly enjoyed the books, of course)! 🎁

Date Night Ideas on a Budget


20 Budget-Friendly Date Night Ideas

After being together for over three years, my man and I still haven’t run out of fun date night ideas, but believe me, it’s a lot of work!

I’m constantly browsing Pinterest for creative plans, and sometimes I even think up some good ones on my own! When this post was originally published (02/20/2017), I shared a video about how we decided to spice things up on a Friday night – quite literally – with a cooking challenge! You can view the goofy goodness right here. The concept: each of us needed to purchase four ingredients, separate from each other, and once we reconnected after leaving the grocery store, we had to put together a full meal using the total of eight ingredients that we bought.

Coming back to revamp this post reminded me of all the great, budget-friendly date ideas we’ve come up with over the years, and I wanted to share some of my favorites with you. With Valentine’s Day on the way, this guide will help you save money and still have a blast with your significant other.

Looking for a way to break from the routine of “dinner and a movie”?

20 Unique Date Night Ideas on a Budget

  1. Go to an arcade together and challenge each other to a rousing game of skeeball.
  2. Find somewhere to play mini golf.
  3. Find the nearest photobooth, and take cheesy photo-strip photos together.
  4. Visit all the rooftop bars in your city and find your new favorite drink (a little more of a splurge).
  5. Pack a sandwich lunch and some fruit and head to a local park for a picnic – or if it’s too chilly where you live, have a picnic indoors!
  6. Build a blanket fort inside on a rainy day and pull out your childhood favorite animated movies.
  7. Play a new board game together.
  8. See who can make the better grilled cheese sandwich (get creative with this one)!
  9. Grab a goofy fighting video game and see who’s the stronger fighter.
  10. Take a workout class together.
  11. Go to a local park and head straight for the jungle gym. See who can pump highest on the swings.
  12. Make a playlist together of all the songs that remind you of each other.
  13. Listen to your newly created playlist on a drive with no destination – windows must be down.
  14. Buy a variety of super sour candies and find out which is the most sour.
  15. Go to the mall and pick out an outfit for each other.
  16. Plan your dream vacation – down to the smallest details (hotel, restaurants, activities).
  17. Volunteer at a local animal shelter together for a day (don’t be surprised if you wind up with a new pet).
  18. Find the best place in the city to watch the sunset – and bring champagne.
  19. Go dog watching and pretend you’re judges at a dog show. Spot the fluffiest, smallest, ugliest, etc.
  20. Try my four ingredient cooking challenge!

    Awesome list of date ideas. The arcade is so fun. I haven’t done that in ages. Rooftop bars are especially fun when we leave the city because we love seeing different skylines (especially since LA has so much smog. womp womp).
    Some of our own favourites include spa resorts or couples massages, Day trips or hiking in new areas, Watching a live show/musical (which we just did this weekend), plan the next trip (which we kind of do every other week) and sometimes do a sporting activity together when we haven’t had enough workout time during the week. 🙂

    Awesome list of date ideas. The arcade is so fun. I haven’t done that in ages. Rooftop bars are especially fun when we leave the city because we love seeing different skylines (especially since LA has so much smog. womp womp).
    Some of our own favourites include spa resorts or couples massages, Day trips or hiking in new areas, Watching a live show/musical (which we just did this weekend), plan the next trip (which we kind of do every other week) and sometimes do a sporting activity together when we haven’t had enough workout time during the week. 🙂

They might not be your “omg favorite” books of the year, but they impacted your life or made you look at things differently and now you can’t stop thinking about them 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, some of those titles would be:

📖 The Midnight Library by @mattzhaig 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👑 You Should See Me in a Crown by @byleahjohnson 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🗣 The Poet X by @acevedowrites

What better way to wrap up the year than with (a v What better way to wrap up the year than with (a version of) the photo that started it all! 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had an almost identical shot that I shared on my feed when I launched in January and I never knew it would go viral on Pinterest or that this page would be the best thing to happen to me all year 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, I could get super mushy right now, but I really wanna say THANK YOU to all of you for making 2020 a better place 😘 There’s been a lot of tragedy and stress this year, but this little corner of the internet has been such a bright spot! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve wrapped up my TOP TEN BOOKS in a guide and posted my “one second a day” video to IGTV 😱 Who am I with all of this content in one day?! 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have a happy new year, everyone! 🤍

I hope you have the merriest Christmas, darlings! I hope you have the merriest Christmas, darlings! 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is my first Christmas on booksta and when I saw that @emilyintheweb tagged me in the #HolidayTag, I couldn't resist! ❤️(I know this is cutting it close since Xmas is TODAY buuuut if you wanna use the questions, feel free! 🙈)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎄 Earliest Christmas/holiday memory: I remember going to our close friends' home for carols around the piano on Christmas Eve (we did that every year for most of my life) 🎹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📖 Favorite holiday-themed book: I read Finding Christmas this year and that HAS to take the cake. It was beyond adorable ☃️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎬 Favorite holiday movie: 12 Dates of Christmas is my forever favorites, but I love SO MANY that I gotta admit it's hard to choose 🤭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎶 Favorite holiday song: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by the Glee Cast (specifically that version) but this is kinda like the movie question because I love so many 😹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎁 Favorite gift as a child: This is a toss-up between my piano and my American Girl doll - they were both insanely special to me 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Favorite quote from a holiday film: LITERALLY ALL OF While You Were Sleeping because it's all so quotable! But I guess specifically the entire dinner scene (if you know, you know 🥔)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎀 What's at the top of your wishlist: Books, books, and more books! Specifically, I'm hoping for The Bookish Life of Nina Hill and Echo North (update: I GOT THEM!) 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ Favorite way to spend Christmas Day: A slow morning with my mom's cranberry-orange scones and spiced mocha. Opening gifts with family and just savoring every special moment! 🥰
