Chris and I are always stuck for date night ideas. Most nights we tend to sit around at home eat dinner and watch a few episodes of our favourite shows. While that’s great and all, we definitely need to do something more. I know I personally get bored really easily. So to combat the boredom blues, I’ve created our own Date Night jar.
It didn’t take long actually, just a mason jar I had sitting around, a printer and paper…oh and date night ideas.
I came up with some date night ideas, typed them up on a word document, cut them out and put them in the jar. So now when Chris and I can’t think of what to do on Date Night, we just dip into our jar and whatever the slip says, we do. It’s always a surprise and so much fun!
Here are some of our date night ideas:
-Farmer’s market trip
