This Frugal Date Friday is all about giving others the gift of dates! This a great idea for a wedding gift or even a gift for your spouse.
When planning the dates, be sure to take into consideration the interests, lifestyle, and time limitations of the couple. For example, if they have four kids, you probably don’t want to plan all dates that require a sitter.
Now, there are different ways to go about this:
1.) Put date ideas on Popsicle sticks or pieces of paper
2.) Include date ideas with the money needed to do them
3.) Plan one date idea per month for one year
Obviously including the money needed is the more pricey option, but it doesn’t have to be expensive dates. Here are 20 dates you can plan for $20.
Want to do one date per month? Go here to print fun printable cards. The dates are even already planned for you!
If you are going to make this gift from scratch, here are some date ideas:
-Go get Frosty Desserts at Wendy’s: $3
-Redbox Movie: $2
–$5 Spending Challenge: $10
-See A Movie At The Dollar Theater: $4
-Watch Funny YouTube Videos: FREE
