18 slips for a date night jar
Stay in
- Build a snack board from what you already have.
- Make breakfast for dinner and pick each other's toppings.
- Watch two short films and give each one an award.
- Draw the same object without looking at your paper.
- Read each other a favorite paragraph over a hot drink.
- Put three familiar snacks in unmarked bowls and guess them.
Go out
- Pick a pastry for each other at a bakery.
- Take a photo walk with one color as your theme.
- Choose one book for each other at a library or bookshop.
- Pick a bench with a view and bring two hot drinks.
- Find three things you've never noticed on your usual walk.
- Visit a free gallery and choose one piece to talk about.
Save for later
- Take a class in something neither of you has tried.
- Find a matinee and stop for dessert afterward.
- Take the train to a nearby town for lunch.
- Visit a market and build a picnic from three stalls.
- Spend an hour in a museum, then share your favorite find.
- Recreate one part of a date you still talk about.
Build a jar you will actually use
- Print or copy the slips and cut between the lines. Put them in three envelopes or label the backs so you can draw from the right group.
- Before drawing, agree on a time window and any spending limit. Keep the Save for later slips for days when you can book ahead.
- Let each person pass once. Write the date on the back of a used slip and keep your favorites for another round.
