"What do you wanna do?" " I dunno, what do you wanna do?"
Sound familiar? I made this date jar for B as part of his v-day gift so we don't spend half our night trying to decide what to do for date night (I'm banking on him not reading this post until after v-day).
Here's what I did...
I bought extra wide, wooden sticks and color coordinated them by type of date.
I wrote out all of the dates on the sticks (some of them are double sided so we can choose based on the season i.e. water park/sledding or if they're super similar i.e. park city outlets/traverse outlets).
Then I decorated a mason jar to store all of our ideas.
Here are some of the date ideas I used...
Plain : a date we can do at home
- homemade ice cream - karaoke night - themed night - build a fort in the living room and watch movies - takeout & redbox - fondue night/BBQ - picnic at the park/living room - board games - face painting & bubble bath - make a bucket list - do a pintrest craft - play video games - bake treats for the neighbors - DIY spa date - puzzles and pizza - Netflix marathon & takeout - plan a getaway - high school music dance party - go through wedding/birth photos/videos - make a 4 course pintrest meal
Red : a date we can do with C
- just dessert out - dino museum - dinner at an old favorite - dinner at a new place - fashion place/south towne - temple square/city creek - tracey aviary - riverwoods - drive through the canyon - tourists in our own town - library/book store - drive in movie - build and fly a model rocket - house hunting - dinner north of here - dinner south of here - look at cars - batting cages - her favorites - his favorites - provo beach resort - decorate a room - animal shelter - visit an old dating spot - ikea - discovery gateway - hogle zoo - go on a hike - feed the ducks at the pond - watch the planes fly by at the airport - go to the park and fly planes - handball at the elementary school - water gun fight/snowball fight - 7peaks/sledding - trip to the aquarium - park city outlets/traverse mountain outlet
