Cook a pre-Thanksgiving Breakfast
On Thanksgiving morning you guys can make breakfast together or unless you guys aren’t really in the idea of cooking breakfast on Thanksgiving you can most definitely go on a Thanksgiving date! and its up to you both whether you want to invite your family or friends.
2. Connect with Nature
I don’t know about you but the thought of taking a stroll in the park sounds super romantic or even bike riding or using anything you have like rollerblades or skateboards. it can be anything ! And if you guys have pets you can bring them along and enjoy the special moments while creating core memories <3.
3. Remember Those Who Have Passed
Unfortunately things happen even when we least expect it. Although they are gone they will forever be remembered and alive with our memories . So take a moment with your loved one and remember about all the happy memories you had with those who passed away. It hurts but is better to remember them rather than forgetting them. Laugh about the silly moments and yes cry too. Trust me these moments will be a special moment with your partner.
4. Add new food to the Thanksgiving Menu
This is pretty self explanatory. Maybe you’re going to your partner’s Thanksgiving and you want to bring a dish or you guys are spending Thanksgiving with your family and you want to add a new dish with your partner. You guys can look up the type of dish you want to add and make it together. And once its time to eat you’ll be able to watch your family’s reaction to the new added dish….hopefully they like it. I’m rooting for you guys !!
5. Make Thanksgiving Dessert
This is another cooking suggestion but instead of adding a whole new dish you guys can take it easy and just make a dessert. it can be anything like Cake, Cupcakes, Flan, Tres Leches Cake, Brownies, Chocoflan, Cookies, Or Pies . and ofc it can even be from a pre-made box . Or if you want to you can also make it from scratch . It does matter. As long as you both are having fun making it and enjoying the delicious dessert afterwards.
6. Watch a Holiday Movie/Show’s
Time to get all warm and cozied up with your partner and watch a movie, show or an Anime if you guys are not really into movies/shows like that. And to be honest it can even be a horror movie, cuz idk about you but I love anything scary,paranormal,horror and sci-fi. So it depends on the genre you both are into. Prepare your popcorn or snacks and blankets. Invite your cousins or friends to watch it with you guys (if you want). Other than it can just be the two of you.
7.Photo Time !
YAY! Photo Timee!! Take a moment to pose and do cute things and get ready to take a picture that because you’ll always have that photo to look back and remember about that day. Grab your pets as well (if you have). And even better if you have a backdrop and prepared the cute little accessories.
8. Write why You’re Thankful
Grab a piece of paper, sit down and start writing your heart away. Write on why you’re thankful for each other and let them know how much they have made your life even better than it was before. And incase you need any ideas on what to write about here some topics you bring up in your letter:
what they have helped you with
the type of advices they give you
how much they make you happy/laugh
their amazing personality
how caring/loving they are
cute attributes that they have
how cool/amazing/nice their family is
talk about how good they are at the sport they play
or how good they are at with instrument
9. Play Some Games
It’s time for some fun, Play some Bingo, Thanksgiving Trivia, Charades, a Scavenger Hunt. Or some board games and card games if you’re into that . And even Chess or Checkers. If you’re that type of couple that likes to get a little competitive at times then this is perfect. Once they win the first round you’re going to want another match until you win . Just don’t let it get the best of you. I’ve been there … Just have fun with them and you’ll be good!
10. Intimate Thanksgiving
Mhmm that’s right, its time for some ALONE time. You guys can choose what you wanna do . It can be a nice warm bubble bath with some candles and music of your choice. To a good body massage with some oil, not just you but to do it for them as well..don’t be selfish now . It’ll feel so good you won’t want to get up but trust me I know but they’ll appreciate it a lot more if you do it too. Or you can do cuddling and have a deep conversation and talk about to dreams and goals that you have in life.
