Date Night

Have you ever decided you want to go on a date night and then got stuck as to what to do? Well one night while mooching through Pinterest for ideas I came across this idea of a Date Night jar. It is a jar full of ideas for date nights!
Now being someone who is indecisive but also a very organised person I went for 5 different types of date; Dinner out, dinner in, activity with expense, activity free (or cheap), and daytime date. Both me and my man wrote a list of things that we love to do together and places that we like to go or would like to go and went for it.

We collected all the bits we needed:


You need Ice lolly sticks, paint (I used acrylic although I did do it a little too thick so maybe a different type would be better), paintbrush, marker pen, jar to fit all your sticks in, decorative bits. :)


I painted my sticks with five different colours for the five different types of date. I chose different reds, pinks and whites.


Then, when they were dry I wrote on my painted sticks with my marker pen. I wrote all the different date ideas that we had made and popped the sticks into the jar.


Then when all the sticks are in the jar pop the lid on. I then just made a fabric square and tied it onto the lid with some ribbon, but you could decorate it any way you would like! So cute. I think this will really help when you both can't decide what you want to do for a date night. I can't wait to try it out!! :)
