Saucy Dates

Book: c/o Datevitation use code AUNIESAUCE for $10 off your order // Glasses: c/o Firmoo

I consider myself lucky... I'm married to a man who likes to do spontaneous things. Whether it's signing up for a swing dance class (we learned West Coast Swing), taking a helicopter ride over Boise or kayaking the Payette River—we're always doing fun things. Sometimes he thinks of the ideas, and sometimes I come up with them.

But for Valentine's Day (Daniel, if you're reading this, I apologize for the major spoiler alert), I got Daniel a little book of all his favorite date ideas, and he gets to tell me when to use them!

Coupon above inspired by my very first poem for Daniel, Bowling, in November, 2011

There are little coupons for golfing, skydiving (I've never been), dance lessons, a movie night, and a trip to the zoo (Daniel loves the zoo)! Making this creative book was more fun than anything. There were over 200 date ideas to choose from, and it was really hard narrowing it down to only 5! I actually found myself giggling while making the book, because of the funny (and some a little raunchy, read: saucy) dates you can come up with. 


If you're looking for something fun for your sweetie, your BFF, your mom—whoever—for a fun little gift, or even for the fast-approaching V-day, go have a look and have fun making an awesome book of adventures. Oh, and don't forget to use the code auniesauce for $10 off your order. With books starting as low as $20, if you use the coupon code, you can make yours for just a little over $10. Sah-weet.

And—BONUS—one person gets to win their very own book today (books ship to U.S. only). Enter below & good luck!

I love the movie night at home idea! My boyfriend and I are really good about it, but I would edit mine so it adds in that I would actually stay AWAKE through the movie ;)

AND I would have to say that the indoor shooting range is right up my husband's alley. :)

Maria Larsen said...

This is such a cute idea, and there are so many different ideas for date. I love that you get to personalize it yourself and make it really special.

Talk about spoiler alert! hehe.
This sounds like a great idea! I've made coupon books for my family before, but probably not as cute as this!

Miss Angie said...

I like the BookStore and Love Letter! So sweet!

Stephanie said...

So cute! I signed up for the e-dates. My favorite one is the beer pong, so me ;)

Boom Boom said...

I've made coupons before but these are even better. Awesome idea! My favorite at the moment is the Champagne and Strawberries.

Rachel Eff said...

The little cartoon with these ideas are super duper cute (and some are awfully funny!) Great post, Aunie!

gladley said...

Haha this is fun. This year is the first valentine's my husband and I will be together for since 2009 - he just realized he better make it extra special.

Unknown said...

lol mine is technology free too - something we don't focus on often enough as it is!

Jess said...

I love technology free day, too! We need to be better about putting the phones away and focus on the people(and pups) around us! =)

Savannah said...

I would totally love ANY of the "getaway" coupons. Love our vacation time :)

Rebecca said...

This is such a cute thing to do, if only they did it in the UK too.

Amanda said...

Technology free day sounds perfect to me!! :) :)

Betsy Transatlantically said...

Jon would want the "out of doghouse" or "win argument" card! haha :)

I like the first kiss one! Such a fun idea!

I'm pretty sure I love your cardigan as much as I love the date coupons! Both are super cute :)

My favorite date is the New Tradition. Then is lasts longer than just one date....

Jennifer M. said...

What an amazing idea! Takes the though of coupons for dates, etc, to a whole new level! I think it'd also be a great gift for a mom on Mother's Day, etc.

Patty said...

I ADORE this book! I sent it to my boyfriend so he can have something next time I get whiny about not going on enough dates :) Thanks girl!

Anonymous said...

Oh my GOSH!! I just customized mine for my Valentine. I used your discount code. I can't wait to see it when it arrives; and his reaction when he flips through all the dates.

Thank you girlie!!

Thanks!
