My husband and I were about to celebrate our 25th anniversary and anyone who knows my husband also knows that he is quite possibly the worst person in the world to buy for. He basically gets what he needs or wants and if he doesn’t buy it, it’s because he doesn’t want it or need it.\u00a0 I looooove Christmas and his birthday:-( (heavy dose of sarcasm.) I am big on researching. So, I started researching different creative gift sites and anything that I could get my hands on. I finally came across a site where they talked about doing creative Date Nights as a gift (Dating Divas<\/a>). So, I started researching different creative “Date ideas.” Now you have to understand our relationship. We have absolutely zero things in common. So usually dates are not something we do well. I love everything that is; outdoors, about animals, playing games, watching movies, the arts, etc,. He loves sports, politics, music, and hanging out with his friends (and me\u00a0when I\u00a0join in) at a pub or nice restaurant. He is very into foods and craft beers. This was a great undertaking. I painted a box silver, (for our 25th) and wrote a title for each date night but didn’t completely reveal what the date nights were. I created 12 different “Dates,” and wrote a month on the front of each envelope. The instructions read that he would open\u00a0the appropriate\u00a0envelope on the first day of each month, read the date title and schedule our time for that month. They are very detailed and take a great deal of preparation on my part. I tried to make these as inexpensive as possible, just like a real date would be. I will post a new “Date Night,” each month but I will post the “Dates,” we’ve already had.<\/div>\n

This is the Date Night box. I also purchased a scrapbook to keep all of the pictures in to have a year’s worth of memories. That’s the other silver wrapped item.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
