After 18 years together date nights get rather tricky, and it has nothing to do with love. It simply happens because you’ve officially run out of interesting things to talk about. So you become desperate - until you realise you can have a fun date night for under N$ 50.
The concept is simple. Pick up a cheap pack of kids modeling clay from PNA or Waltons for less than N$ 50 and BOOM you’re prepared for a very interesting night. It’s affordable, messy, and tends to soothe your inner child.
We ventured over to Ireland for our drinks, and spiked our coffees with Monkey Shoulder Whiskey - which, to be fair, was my husband’s bright idea. Did the alcohol help with the creativity, I doubt it - but it surely did make the process a lot funnier.
We created our interpretation of a Minion and Teletubby, and while we had a couple of hours of belly laughs - the clay figures looked like something from the latest SAW movie.
If you’re looking for a unique, budget-friendly date night idea, skip the expensive Windhoek restaurants, buy some clay, and see what horrifying things your hands construct.
