Easy Date Nights in a Jar

Do you have a Friday night free and want to do something with your husband or boyfriend but can’t come up with any ideas? That’s where the Date Night Jar comes in handy. This makes a great Valentine’s Day idea if you are looking for inexpensive gifts that have meaning. This is definitely the Valentine’s Day gift that you can both get some use out of! Create your very own with just a jar, some Popsicle sticks and some paint. Spray your Popsicle sticks with three different colours, I chose red, pink and white for romance. Each colour will represent a different type of date. Then fill in various dates you would like to do together onto the matching colour stick. Here are some ideas I came up, and of course you can add your own!
