Doing a charitable act together has been proven to bring a relationship closer together. And what better way to get into the holiday spirit than to go shopping for a toy to donate!

Helping others as you volunteer will bring you and your love closer together.
Volunteer
Speaking of charitable acts, volunteer your time together as you help others. The South Buffalo Community Table is a great place to volunteer your time.

Build A Snowman
You don’t need to be in a meadow to make a snowman! Get creative as you go through old winter gear looking for the perfect accessories to accommodate your snowman. (or Snowwoman, after all it is 2018.) Tag @welcome716 in your snowman pics because we would really like to see them!!
Just think of all the “likes” your snowman is going to get you on Instagram!!
Liquid courage at Gypsy Parlor to get on the karaoke stage!
Karaoke a Holiday Song
We’d suggest “All I want for Christmas is You,” by Mariah Carey, but any holiday song will do. Doing something brave together will bring you and your love closer together. After all, being vulnerable in a relationship is where all the magic happens! The Gypsy Parlor has karaoke every Thursday at 9:00 PM. The Gypsy Parlor provides a non-judgemental atmosphere and delicious cocktails, two things that definitely help when it comes to mustering up the courage to karaoke.
Buy and Decorate a Tree
Erway’s Christmas Tree Adventure is a great place to pick out a tree. The smell of the pine trees is definitely a romantic scent! Get some decorations from Dave’s Christmas Wonderland to complete your festive tree. Don’t just stop at tree decorations! Dave’s Christmas Wonderland has all sorts of holiday cheer to decorate your house with. And Dave’s Christmas Wonderland has artificial trees if you want to invest in a tree that won’t make a mess and will be a part of your celebrations for years to come! Decorating with your significant other while you listen to holiday tunes is the perfect way to get into the spirit of the season.
You can find these decorations and much more at all of Dave’s Christmas Wonderland locations!
Here’s a pic of me ice skating on a date.
Ice Skating
As we’ve said several times now we love a skate date! Ice skating hand in hand with the one you love is the perfect way to spend a chilly day. Our favorite spots to skate downtown are Buffalo RiverWorks and Canalside. You can find other spots to ice skate in WNY here.
