Perfect Date Ideas if Killing a Man Sounds Like a Hot Date

A few weeks ago, we had our first shower. It was lovely, and Brian’s family is wonderful, and I love them. 

One of the activities at said shower was a Date Jar. It was super adorable and everyone seemed to really enjoy participating. So, of course, I thought it would be fun to read them all aloud. 

And I was right.

Lots of perfect date ideas ensued, including recreating our first date, heading…

Make Your Own Date Jar

A Quick And Easy DIY Valentine’s Day Gift! Even if you don’t need an idea for a sweet treat for your valentine, DIY date jars are a fun and easy project to do any time of year.  In our household we don’t make it more than a few days before we’re stuck on dinner plans or feeling antsy for something fun to do together. That’s why this year I finally made my own date jar, all set and ready to go…

My boyfriend and I have a date jar; each month we pick out a card (or 3!) and eventually settle on an activity to do together. For example, we’ve been to a new restaurant, made a collage of our relationship, attended a local ballroom dance class, written letters to each other that can only be opened in 10 years’ time, competed in our very own Come Dine With Me competition, and humoured each other’s interests by doing something that we don’t particularly like ourselves. However, although he may vehemently deny it, I know Francis loved the Coronation Street tour really!

This month’s activity is to take a photo of something that makes us smile each day; a task which will probably be pretty easy for my happy-go-lucky boyfriend. But for me, it’s going to be somewhat a challenge. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a miserable cow (…most of the time) and it’s not as though I never smile. But I do currently spend the majority of my days sat at home. And for some reason, I don’t think a particular section of the carpet or some random piece of furniture is suddenly going to crack a smile on my face.  

I was working on a gift for my boyfriend last night; a date jar. because we always seem stuck for ideas. I had three categories: free, under 50$ (for both of us) and over 50$.

i’m looking for ideas!

and anything specific to the hamilton/GTA would be great :D (Canada) thanks!!
