Sweeten Your Week with a ThursDate

Sweeten Your Week with a ThursDate

(BPT) – The way we interact and socialize with others in our everyday lives has changed – and so have special dates, whether with a romantic partner, an activity with your children or grandchildren, or a lunch date with a friend. One solution to spending more time with our loved ones: set aside a special day during the week, like Thursday, for a date night or date day. Scheduling a weekly ThursDate can show the ones you love just how much you care and appreciate them. Treat your friends, family or colleagues with a day or night filled with laughter, love, food, drinks and fun. If you are an AARP member, you can plan a memorable ThursDate while taking advantage of discounts on flowers, food, gourmet desserts and more.

Romantic dinner for two from your favorite local spots

Family movie night just got more delicious

Opt for an outdoor day date activity

Spend some time out of the house by creating a day date experience with your partner. A remote walk along a trail or a visit to a park for a picnic lunch is a great way to reconnect, and exploring nature is good for the soul. Update your athletic wear for the occasion by visiting Tanger Outlets to pick out a new jacket, sneakers or weather-appropriate outfit.
