Date Night Perfected .... with a Hot Tub

If you’re looking to warm up your partner, a nice jacket or robe could be an option…..but if you really want to turn up the heat, a hot tub could be YOUR gift that keeps on giving this year.

Our customers intend to use their Bullfrog Spas for hydrotherapy and health benefits, but also for a way to celebrate and connect, or reconnect, with cherished ones.  According to Bureau of Labor Statistic’s American Time Use Survey  adults spend less than one hour per day relaxing or socializing.   According to a survey by the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP), 79 percent of owners value the health benefits associated with their hot tubs.  Seventy-seven percent of owners point to their hot tub as one of the few things that takes them away from the day-to-day stresses of life and allows them to reconnect with their partner.   Many owners point to the ability to spend quality time with their partners as another significant benefit.

Having a date night away from home can be quite expensive.  When you think about how much you spend on fuel, paying a babysitter (if applicable), dining at a restaurant or picking up take-out, and then you add the movies, listening to live music or an ice skating date, the total you spend on a date night(s) monthly could easily be used for a hot tub.  And instead of one or two nights a month, imagine having a date night destination in your own backyard 365 days a year.

Dinner out can be a long wait until you're at your table, noisy, and you cannot control who dines around you...... or  if you go to watch a film you sit through it quietly and truly do not have the opportunity to communicate openly with your partner. If you want to have family time or have time for just the two of you, a hot tub is a way to have the best of both worlds.  Consistently dating and a splash of spontaneity are just the extra little oomph that relationships need.  Plan a romantic rendezvous in your own backyard.  Here's how to get started:

1. Invite!

Leave a clue near the door- a bathrobe, towels, maybe a handwritten note mentioning to meet you in the backyard.  Or you could phone your hot tub partner or send a text message with some type of invitation during the work day.

2. Plan Ahead!

If your invitation is accepted, it's time to do a quick walk-through and gather some items for a successful night.  Make sure the water is ready. Gather towels, swimsuits and slippers or flip flop's, and maybe include robes or spa wraps.  If she has long hair she probably wants a clip or ponytail holder to put her hair up.

3. Set the Mood!

Bring your favorite music (we’ve included a Bullfrog Spas of OKC playlist), your favorite beverages on ice (and extra) and if you like candles for ambiance, go ahead and light them.  If you really want to go the extra mile, a lit path from your back door to your hot tub creates a nice effect.

If you have Bullfrog Spa’s Cloud Control you can get your hot tub prepared for your date before stepping into the backyard, or if you’re away from your hot tub you can get the spa ready from your mobile device or tablet.

With just a few personal touches, a hot tub date night truly provides a memorable and magical evening.  But don't just take our word for it- let the survey results speak.  A Harrison Group study found the number one reason hot tub owners cite for considering a hot tub purchase is the time it provides to relax with a spouse or partner. Relieving sore and achy joints or muscles was the second most popular reason for buying a hot tub. The third reason listed is to spend quality time and connect with a spouse or partner.

Next time you're combing the paper or looking online for dinner reservations or trying to plan a surprise 3-day weekend, think about how easy, relaxing and enjoyable for many years owning a hot tub will be.  For a built-in date night activity we have many hot tubs to offer!  Just give us a call after you’ve designed your spa!  What are you waiting for?
