This long-distance date idea is perfect for couples who love online shopping, friendly competition, or finding the best deals.
For this date, you and your partner will play a reverse version of The Price Is Right. Instead of guessing the price of an item, you will already have the category and budget set, and your goal is to search online to find the best item that matches it. It’s a fun long-distance date idea that tests your speed, shopping skills, creativity, and who can find the best deal first. 🛍️
Instructions
Pick a time that works for both of you; use a time zone converter if needed.
Hop on a video call using Zoom, Google Meet, Discord, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, or Skype.
Choose a shopping category for the round.
Some category ideas:
• jewelry 💍
• furniture 🛋️
• home decor 🖼️
• outfits 👗
• shoes 👟
• bags or purses 👜
• perfume or cologne
• tech gadgets 🎧
• kitchen items 🍳
• travel items ✈️
• pet accessories 🐾
• gifts for each other 🎁
Set a budget or exact price for the round. For example:
• find a couch for $4,000
• find a necklace for $100
• find a lamp for $10
• find a blender for $350
• find the weirdest home decor item under $50
Once the category and price are set, both of you search separately. You can use Amazon, Etsy, Pinterest, Google Shopping, Wayfair, IKEA, Target, local stores, or anything online!
The goal is to find an item that matches the category and budget as quickly as possible.
Whoever finds it first sends a screenshot, photo, or link as proof. 📸
When the timer ends, reveal your finds to each other.
