Possibly the sweetest thing I have ever done


Now, I am not what one would call sweet. I am many things, but that is not one of them.

Snotty might be a better term to describe me to be honest. Every once in awhile though, the mood strikes me and I do something out of character. Recently I did such a thing for the old manfriend because he is a pretty nice guy.

I made him a little coupon book of dates that I plan to give him as a stocking stuffer. I am pretty excited about it, mainly because the website I used Datevetation allows you to use your own photos in the book. Naturally I gave Jose and Afro, and my cartoon has a super sassy look on her face. I figured it was fitting.

yes that is an iPhone photo of my computer screen...I know I am so high tech!

Anyway, the website was super easy to use. They have all kinds of dates you can add as pages to your coupon book ranging from dinners to movies and all that jazz. And like I said you get to add your own face which is always awesome.

I really like the idea of a coupon book for just about anyone, I might go ahead and make some for my mom and sister too. Especially since they live in another state and I would probably never have to make good on my coupon promises.

I know Jose will redeem his seeing as we live together and all, especially the one for a trip to the zoo. And I hate the friggen zoo.

The site offers all kinds of fun date ideas in case you're like me and aren't good at coming up with romantical stuff.

look how happy you and your man or woman friend could be?

Check out the website for some more details on these little date books and if you decide to order one before December 13, use this promo code for $10 off plus free shipping: PARTYGIRLS10

Here is a little bit more info about the gift books and the company owners:

  • Datevitation.com is the web's first online platform to create a custom love coupon book. Unlike the pre-packaged love coupon books on the market, you pick the dates and can customize the text to your liking.  Once you are done customizing the text in your book, Datevitation will print it out and ship it to you.
  • Our library contains over 500 date ideas ranging from skydiving to stargazing to steamy adult-only activities. We also have over 100 book cover options to suit any occasion.
  • In addition to being the perfect romantic gift for your sweetie, Datevitation now has "boy" and "girl" characters with over 200 new activity illustrations specifically for kids and parents.  There’s also an exciting feature that allows you to add photos of your own faces to the illustrations!
  • Books normally start at just $25 so it makes for a thoughtful yet economical gift.  But as a special treat for my followers, you can use the code  ‘PARTYGIRLS10’  for $10 off your purchase plus free shipping (total value of $13.50)  That means you can get your loved one a one-of-a-kind gift for Christmas starting at just $15!  The order cut-off date for guaranteed delivery by Christmas is December 13 so make sure to get your order in before then!
  • Datevitation is a family business run by the husband-wife team of Alex and Olga Karpman.  You can get to know them on the Datevitation blog, where they offer video guides to date ideas and romantic gestures.   You can even watch Alex propose to Olga in a video they posted on Youtube as a Save The Date, and now has over 1.5 million views (you can view the video here)!

I was a sap once and bought one of these for Blake. He lost it I'm pretty sure and he never even used a coupon. No more nice things.

Once upon a time, I made a little something like this for my fiance.. Now every time he tries to 'redeem' a coupon, I figure out a way to get out of it ha. It's the thought that counts, right??

Amy @The Crazy Wise Woman said...

If I am ever not single again I will totally make one of those!

Miss Riss said...

Well isn't this presh. I should make one for myself, and then give it to my husband, to give to me, as a gift from him! ;)

I love those coupon books! Perfect for days when you struggle to come up with ideas!

Margaret said...

I did this for my husband for our first anniversary! I somehow missed where you could put in your own pictures though- thats hilarious!

SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph said...

I am not sweet or romantic. I'd be trying to angle the coupons to be things I want. hahahahaha I suck.

Stephanie said...

So cute :) I'm going to make John one for valentine's day. Using all XXX ones of course!

Bahahahah... I died at the part about not having to make good on your coupon promises! My boyfriend told me to make him a coupon book this year. But if it was illustrated it would be pornographic. I told him I'd rather just spend the money on actual gifts. :)

Tiffany Khyla said...
