The pandemic has kept many of us away from the movie theater, but there’s no reason you can’t create a similar experience to going to the movies right at home. Find fun ideas to take your family movie night to the next level below. We’ve also linked a cool ticket generator you can use to create custom tickets to make the experience feel that much more authentic.

Here are a few ideas:

  • Milkshakes
  • Soda
  • Candy
  • Popcorn (Serve it in these traditional red and white popcorn containers.)

😮 I'm finally starting to get my presents wrapp 😮 I'm finally starting to get my presents wrapped! This Christmas won't be the same as last year, but I'm trying to make it as special as possible. I'm wrapping up my gifts with this GORGEOUS paper from @minted. You will not see this paper anywhere else. This luxe, thick wrapping paper is designed by independent artists and is so beautiful it's almost part of the gift. You can even choose foil patterns for a little extra flair. (And, I have to say, photos just don't do it justice! It's that pretty.)  @minted has lots of terrific custom gift ideas too! I picked up one of their new custom photo puzzles--so cute! 😍  Visit the link in my bio (or mws.tips/minted1) to see all of Minted's custom photo gifts and beautiful wrapping papers for any occasion--you can even use them for crafting!
