People spend a lot of money, time, and energy on Valentine’s Day, and here’s how you can take advantage by offering customers date night essentials.

According to The Balance, spending on Valentine’s Day hit record-breaking numbers in 2019. Customers spend $20.7 billion dollars on their loved ones last year. The biggest categories for spending included: cards, jewelry, and evenings out.

It’s a profitable holiday.

Now it’s that time again, Valentine’s night, and your customer is in charge of planning it. Last year, those customers spent $3.4 billion just on the night out.

If your customers don’t know where to start, Petra has a few ideas you can use to help them cover their date night essentials.

Help your customers plan a:

  1. Road Trip together
  2. DIY photo surprise
  3. At home date night
  4. Evening spa experience

Date Night Essentials:

4 Wheels, 2 Hearts

Even though getting lost together during a road trip is in almost every love song, what’s more romantic than a GPS to navigate the way back on the path? Customers will have no need to reschedule that fancy dinner as their GPS will get them back on track.

No dinner reservations? No problem! Pack up the car or RV for a short weekend getaway at a campsite! This idea helps customers show off their outdoorsy side along with creativity! Prepare customers with portable music and travel tumblers for entertainment and drinks on the go!

Love Is in the Air

Valentine’s Day is all about showing loved ones just how loved they are, but large amounts of money don’t need to be spent in order to do that. Might we suggest the Instax mini 9 Instant Camera. The idea behind this camera is to take some instant pictures, then attach them onto balloons to surprise loved ones. Their heart is sure to take flight after seeing such creative effort!

Those That at Home Date Night Together, Stay Together.

Sometimes, going out, getting all dressed up, making plans to have the night free just doesn’t happen. So, whether the babysitter canceled or fatigue sets in, stay home! Use an air fryer to cook up tasty snacks while watching some nostalgic movies. No one is ever too old for Disney films and food! Even pair some air-fried salty snacks and sweets with a cake pop maker!

Wine and paint are extremely trendy right now, and not a lot of experience or preparation is needed! Another fun at-home date night idea would be to have a video game marathon! Turn the romantic competitiveness up a notch with love always winning!

Rub-a-Dub-Love

Loving on someone else is as therapeutic as a massage or foot rub, so why not share an at-home hand or foot spa experience! Help customers imagine dimming the lights, setting a few candles, and cracking open a bottle of wine. They can even relax with a hot tub bath with a Jet Bath Spa.
