I saw this this gift idea on Pinterest and thought it was a pretty fantastic, if not a possibly expensive thing to do.
12 pre-planned, pre-paid date nights
would be great for Valentines Day or a wedding gift
So, my mind is on Christmas just a wee bit. Like, I wrote out a list of who I need to shop for and some vague ideas so I can keep my eyes peeled when I’m out and about.
I decided I’m going to do a 12 Days of Christmas thing for my mom and the bf this year. Who the heck doesn’t like getting presents before the big day? These two are TERRIBLE about nagging for early presents so this way, they can have almost 2 weeks of fun little treats.
I think I’m going to have everything in little paper treat bags clothes-pinned to a ribbon, across my mom’s giant mirror in her bedroom and across our mantle.
Nothing major or too heavy for the gifts but still fun. Yesterday, I found those little $1.50 face mask packets by Freeman and got my mom one. That day, she’ll get a facial. Maybe a gift certificate for lunch one day, candy, hot chocolate mix, cute stuff.
This will be fun!

You could probably do the date night present with a little help from Groupon….still expensive though, I’d imagine.
I love the 12 days of Christmas idea. I would totally do that for my mom if I lived closer to her. I think that would be really fun to get 12 days of smaller, fun gifts.
I love that idea! I think spaced out over a year, tucking some money away here and there, it’s totally doable.

Both are such good ideas! You could always break the date months for a year down– like give part out at Christmas, part at V-Day, part on the birthday… some on the anniversary. It’d help break down the cost, too.

That’s a great idea to break the cost up! I need to think about doing that. We need more excuses to try new things and get out and about!
What a fantastic idea! The Minions deserve something awesome like that.
