15 Date Night Registry Essentials

Ready for date night? No matter how long you've been married (two months, two years, or two decades) and regardless of what type of night you're after (do you prefer a cozy night in ordering takeout in your pajamas or having your favorite couples over a rousing evening of Pictionary and wine), there are some registry essentials you'll definitely want to have on hand. That's where we come in.

Cooking for your significant other? Make sure you have all the kitchen tools you need to make their favorite dish. For that game night with friends, you'll want to make sure you have a set of acrylic stemmed glassware on hand—something that looks fancy but can't be broken when the games get heated is absolutely essential.

Want to make that anniversary dinner special without leaving the comfort of your own home? Time to break out the delicate china (or at least the non-everyday plates), candlelight, and your best linens. Do you prefer the idea of snuggling on the couch while you binge watch on your favorite show du jour after a long week at work? You're going to need a bowl big enough for a jumbo serving of popcorn and a luxe throw blanket. Want to try cooking something new in the kitchen? We're all for registering for a pressure cooker or sous vide—something you haven't tried before and can master together.

Whatever your date night style might be, we've got the registry products you're going to want to put on your list to make it special. Click through for some of our favorites, and get ready for an epic date night in.
