• Pick up a couple Nerf guns and, every so often, stop everything and sit down someplace that allows for enough room for you to sit in one another’s lap, or at least side-by-side, and help each other shoot random targets. Take a couple minutes of your 15 if you want, and tape up some bull's eyes. Every time you hit your marks, exchange a kiss, hug, rub noses affectionately, or ???.
  • Using your cell phone or tablet, film a faux-commercial on some random item in your house and then send it to two other couples in your inner circle. Invite them to do an impromptu 15-minute date along the same lines and send it to their friends, and to you too. It's kind-of like an informal chain letter, only better. You’ll actually be nurturing other people’s relationships, and who knows how much they may need that. Not to mention, you’ll give them a laugh or two.
  • Break some monotony and bring out your favorite love song to play for your love, only you join in the song by making some sort of musical instrument out of a kitchen utensil and playing it. Have something from the kitchen available for them to play as well, part way through, once their laughter and shock have worn off…
  • For most dates we recommend you ditch your cell phone, but for this one, you get to keep it within hand's reach. You’ll also need a deck of cards. The trick here is to build a house of cards ON TOP of your cell phone while it’s lying flat. You’ll need to set your phone to VIBRATE before you build. Now, once you’ve built the cards, walk away... The winner is the first person whose phone vibrates and topples the cards. That person gets their phone back PLUS a winner’s kiss! Loser gets a consolation kiss and has to pick up all the cards and put them away, AND THEN, they get their phone.
  • Toss Cards! Set a basket or bucket in the middle of the room, and toss away! Similarly, skip rocks, or even toss the Frisbee!
  • Solve a Sudoku Puzzle Together.
  • Silly String War! Silly String is typically about $1.00 at your local dollar store or pharmacy! Grab a few bottles, then set them aside until you have those fifteen spare minutes. Then enjoy an old-fashioned silly string war.
  • Slow Dance in the Shower! No water or you won’t have enough time. Its private, and no one but you knows what else you do while slow dancing…
  • Need to multitask at the same time as squeaking in those 15 precious moments? Clean out a drawer together while holding hands, so only one of your hands is free to sort. Sweep together while clinging to the other as if your bodies were glued together. Fold laundry while sitting in each other’s lap. Or fold clothes sitting on the floor, and wrap your legs around your partner while they’re in your lap. THAT’S your job, distract and nibble them from behind while they’re matching and folding those darn socks.
  • The Try-Something-New Challenge! Decide to try something new together. Choose something you can do in a short amount of time. Maybe it’s trying some light yoga, or learning a new language online, even if it’s just a couple new words each date. Pull up a 3-ingredient 60-second MUG CAKE list online, and maybe make more than one of them if you have the fixings on hand.
  • Pay It Forward. Jump in the car and hit the drive-thru for coffee (or milkshakes!). Pay for the person behind you!
  • Online Quizzes or Online Trivia. Doesn’t matter how adept you are at it; it’s just something fun to try, as long as both parties are playing and not competing…
  • Cloud-seekers. As long as the sky is cooperating for this, step outside and let the fresh air and company refresh you. Lie down or just stand there, and hunt for shapes together!
  • Toast S’Mores at home! The microwave or stove will do just fine! Use white chocolate or dark for added variety. Add a caramel, peanut butter cup, shredded coconut or peppermint pieces. Keep a stash hidden, just for these whimsical moments.
  • Re-create the first time you met. Dress in something similar to what you were wearing when you met. If you can’t physically go to the spot, go somewhere similar, or describe to your partner what you remember about that space, that day.
