date me!

"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
