Do you have a bit of money saved up and are looking for a different way to spend New Year's Eve? Rent a room and purchase some low-cost champagne, fruit and cube cheese for a romantic accompaniment to your evening. My husband and I enjoy doing this type of date once every six months to a year, depending on what our budget allows. It's a fun and sexy way to spend an evening and what better night to consider it than the night before the New Year dawns.

Keep the cost of your evening down by shopping around and visiting various discount travel sites before you book your hotel. The last room my husband and I booked had three different prices listed. One price was listed for $149, the next was listed for $139 and the final one, when we called the front desk, was listed at $114. That's a $35 difference between the first and last listing. You may receive an even lower rate at a hotel that needs to fill up rooms for the night.

The beauty of this date is that you can easily pull together this night at home if you can't afford to go out. Find a babysitter for the evening and adorn your bed with your best comforter or sheet set. Bring a few games to your hotel room or bedroom such as “Truth or Dare” and “Texas Hold'Em.” Light a couple of candles or scent the room using one you plug into the wall. Order some take out or make a dinner ahead of time to reheat for the two of you and settle in for a long and sexy night.
