Gifts That Mean Something
Date Each Other Again
Because being together isn’t the same as dating each other. These are experiences, places and finds that help couples have fun, reconnect and intentionally enjoy each other again.
Forget the typical dinner date. I found this experience and immediately thought, this is something my husband and I need to try! Learning to forge something together sounds fun, different and gives us a chance to create a keepsake while making a new ...
Forge Something Together 🔥
There’s something special about creating side by side. Glassblowing gives us a chance to learn something new, laugh through the process, and walk away with a piece that has a story behind it. This is the kind of date that becomes a memory. ✨
Create Something in Glass Together
Now this is a date I can get into! We get to learn how to build a beautiful charcuterie board together, snack along the way, and see who really has the better eye for arranging all the good stuff. 😂 The best part? When the class is over, we get to e...
Build the Board, Then Eat the Evidence 🧀
Now THIS is my kind of date night! Level99 has challenge rooms filled with games, puzzles and physical challenges that put your teamwork and competitive side to the test. 😂 My husband and I can work together when we need to, but the minute they star...
So You Think You Can Beat Me?
Let’s Talk About It
Good relationships need good conversations. These are tools and resources that help us move beyond surface talk, understand each other better, communicate with intention and stay connected.
Sometimes we need a little help getting past “How was your day?” I love the idea of using these cards to slow down, put the phones away and ask each other questions that can lead to conversations we may not have otherwise had.
Put the Phones Down & Talk ❤️
Sometimes the hardest part of date night is deciding what to do. I like that this takes the planning out of it and adds a little surprise. Pick a challenge, do it together and let the experience give you something new to talk and laugh about.
When “What Do You Want to Do?” Gets Old
You’ve been together long enough to think you know each other… until this game starts asking questions. 😂 Answer separately, reveal your answers, and prepare for a few “EXCUSE ME?!” moments. You might discover you’re perfectly in sync, completely on...
Wait…You Really Think That?
Oh, you think you know your person? Let’s see! 😂 Write down your answers, reveal them at the same time, and find out just how much you’ve actually been paying attention. Be prepared for some “Awww, you remembered!” moments and a few “WHO have you be...
You Should Know This About Me!
Love at Home
Connection doesn’t always require reservations. These are some of my favorite finds and ideas for slowing down, staying in and making ordinary time at home feel a little more intentional.
Dinner at home doesn’t have to feel routine. A little fondue turns the table into part of the date. Pick your favorites, take your time, dip, talk and enjoy being together without having to go anywhere.
Dip, Talk & Stay Awhile
Who says date night has to mean going out? Set up your canvases, turn on some music, grab your favorite drinks and see what you create together. The masterpieces may be questionable, but the memories will be worth keeping. 😂❤️
Paint, Laugh & Make a Memory 🎨❤️
My husband knows how much I love flowers, but this time he got me flowers that never die. ❤️ Instead of just admiring them, we get to build them together. Put on some music, grab your favorite drinks and turn building this bouquet into the date. When...
Build Me Flowers That Never Die 🌷
Sometimes I don’t want to get dressed up, drive somewhere and wait for a table. Give me my husband, a good recipe, some music playing and a kitchen we can make a mess in together. Pick something neither of you has made before, cook it side by side an...
Tonight, We’re the Reservation 🍽️
Gifts That Mean Something
The best gifts say more than “I bought you something.” These are thoughtful finds for celebrating your person, your memories and the little things that make your relationship yours.
Sometimes the most meaningful gift isn’t something expensive, it’s hearing what you mean to the person you love. I like that this gives couples a fun way to put those thoughts into words and exchange little messages they can actually keep. ❤️
Say It in Writing ❤️
This is the kind of gift money can’t really measure. Fill the pages with the little things you love, the qualities you admire and the reasons you continue to choose your person. By the time you’re finished, you haven’t just given them a journal, you’...
100 Reasons I Choose You
Some memories deserve more than sitting in your camera roll. Fill this frame with the moments that make you smile, the trips you took, the celebrations, the ordinary days and all the little pieces of your story. Then keep adding to it as life happens...
Keep Us on Repeat
Some of the most meaningful pieces of a relationship aren’t expensive at all. They’re the handwritten note, the ticket from that trip, the card you couldn’t throw away or the picture that still makes you smile. I love the idea of giving those little ...
The Little Things That Tell Our Story
Some memories have a sound. Maybe it’s your wedding song, the song that takes you back to when you first fell in love, or simply your own voice saying something you never want them to forget. I love that this turns that sound into a keepsake they can...
