Are you looking for a fun present for your husband? One to inspire romance, and light the fires so to speak? Or maybe you don’t have much money but you want Valentine’s Day to be special. Then you need a year of dates to make this fun present for your husband.
A YEAR O’ DATES
Yes, that’s right. I planned out 12 dates for him. I went to Dating Divas, and chose some I thought we’d enjoy, and I came up with some of my own. I assembled as much of it as I could ahead of time.
Now, to preserve some of the mystery, all he has are pictures to give him clues what they might involve, but I wanted him to have to wonder a little. There’s a wide variety of ideas in here, some are more of the G/PG variety that you could take your kids along, some are more of the this is a good night for the kids to be elsewhere variety. But, I think they all sound fun, and I think Jeff will enjoy all of them.
Jeff loves this idea so much his comment was “This is so cool! You have to put it up on your blog.”
How’s that for a ringing endorsement of a successful present?
Update later on, this has been a super fun present for my husband, and I highly recommend taking the time to make this as a fun present for your husband.

Great gift idea and what a great site!
whahahahaha excellent….good job T!
LOL, love it!
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Success! I'm so glad he was so excited! 😀
Thats so cool. Thanks for sharing
That is awesome!! I will definitely have to this in the future!
Great idea! I wonder what my husband would think of this.
You are so creative girl!
What a fantastic idea! And we have our 10-year anniversary coming up in June…
I love it – how fun to also make it a big mysterious. I have to think about it as a birthday present.
I gave my hubby 12 cards for Christmas, each good for one date with me. I never thought about actually planning out the dates as well. I just figure we'll find something to do each month. 🙂 I love this idea.
I am so using this idea. Thanks!
I like the variety of G/PG…and kids elsewhere!
Can you tell me how to get an “invitation” to access the Love Actually blog so I can view the ideas? Thank you.
I don’t know. Until you commented I had not known it had gone private. It used to be public, so I will need to revise the post. I will need to think on a good substitute for ideas.
