Dates in a Jar (DIY)

My husband and I enjoy our date nights and try to make it a priority to spend quality time with each other. Our dates  have been nothing but fun thus far because of our carefree nature and random ideas. 

                              
Food tasting date :-) 
(no worries, we do make purchases before we leave!)

I've been seeing these date night jar ideas circulating the web and thought this would be a great idea to heighten the spontaneity we already take on our current dates, also eliminate the few indecisive moments.  It was important for us to be realistic with the ideas we placed in the jar and not be too vague.

Here's our date night jar: Rema's Edition!

This is such a good idea! I never thought about pricing each date out.
