I found this idea on Pinterest awhile ago and have
been waiting to try it! Chris has been away on Mission Trip this week and I
thought it’d be a good project to do. I
found a package of 75 sticks at Michaels and figured I could split each color
up equally. As easy as you would think it would be, it’s really hard to come up
with over 75 date ideas! I duplicated a couple, especially in the $$$ range—and
added two HIS PICK and two HER PICK per category.
($) The WHITE sticks are
cheap and easy or at home dates:
- · HOMEMADE MEAL TOGETHER
- · NEW RELEASE MOVIE AND POPCORN
- · CLASSIC MOVIE AND HOMEMADE DESSERT
- · BOARD GAMES AND ICE CREAM SUNDAES
- · MASSAGES AND SPA NIGHT
- · YOU TUBE DATE NIGHT
- · MAKE HOMEMADE ICE CREAM
- · S’MORES AND TV MARATHON
- · HOMEMADE PIZZA
- · PICNIC AT PARK OR ON PATIO
- · STARGAZING BY THE LAKE
- · MOVIE MARATHON AND INDOOR CAMP OUT (FORT!)
- · TAKE A WALK AND FEED DUCKS AT THE LAKE
- · PUZZLE OR MODEL CAR
- · DEVOTIONAL TOGETHER
- · GO PARKING (XOXO)
- · THROWBACK NIGHT
- · TAKEOUT AND NINTENDO
- · WINDOW-SHOP FOR HOUSE
- · PLAY AT THE PARK
- · BREAKFAST IN BED AND CUDDLE
- · HIS PICK

($$) The PINK sticks require
a little bit of planning and cost a bit more:
- · CHOPPED CHALLENGE

We may not
do it every week, but it will certainly help with keeping us on track with our
weekly date nights. When things get a little boring, we can just pick an idea!
I can’t wait to start drawing our Dates In A Jar!
About the
jar… I couldn’t find one… so for now, it’s a basket. But a jar is coming!
