Christmas Idea!

So I stole this from my sister. I thought it was super CUTE!

This gift is called "The Date Basket"





















The idea of it is to have pre-paid or easy to
pay for dates pre-packaged in envelopes,
then labeled for every month :)


So at the beginning of each month,
Nate will open the envelope for
that month then we will choose
a day for that date night.

Each envelope has a cute little card
explaining the date as well as the
gift cards to pay for the date :)

Here are my list of dates to give you
some ideas

January: "Go Big or Go Home"
Let's go to Dinner and a Movie
Your Pick :)

April: "Let's Play"
We think we've got it all figured out in the
game of "LIFE"
*Root Beer Floats
In the envelope: A Couple Cards From the Game of "LIFE"

May: "Let's Be Chefs Tonight and Have a Candle Light Dinner"
(something new we've never made. 3-course meal.)
We'll start at the grocery store and then come home
and cook a tasty meal
In the envelope: you can have recipes already printed out on what you guys
are going to make and a Grocery List of What you Need, and a Gift Card to
a Local Grocery Store
