I don’t know about you, but it seems like everyone is talking about Datevitation lately. Like for reals. I see them all over Twitter, friend’s blogs, Facebook- everywhere!
Datevitation is a database of over 200 romantic date ideas ranging from skydiving to spa night at home, where you create a custom love coupon book. It seems that now that Christmas is over, everyone is already jumping to the next holiday- Valentine’s.
I was so lucky to be asked by Datevitation to visit their website and make my own custom love coupon book! Their books start at $20 which I think is incredibly reasonable since they are made with good paper, color printed images, and a nice box for your recipient. I made my book late December and decided it would be fun give Mathew a surprise gift on New Years. I don’t normally give him New Years gifts, but I thought, “Why not start the new year out with something that’ll kick start our year?”

| Here’s a good look at the coupon. You can view more examples on Datevitation.com |
Once Mathew picked out his date, we spent the evening out to dinner (mainly because I didn’t want to cook) and then hit up the grocery store to get our sundae goods!
 |
| Our haul: bowls, butter pecan ice cream, chopped pecans, whipped cream, cherries, reese’s topping, and caramel (and a candle cuz you’ve gotta be fancy on dates haha) |
 |
| The end result! Can you tell whose is whose? It was delicious and such a fun date! I think other than eating it, the best part was shopping for the goodies together! |
We spent the night eating our yummy sundaes and watching Spartacus (it’s Mathew’s favorite movie- and since it was his date, I let him choose!) We had a blast and it was nice to splurge on some yummy treats and have a fun night at home. We have several other dates in our date book from Datevitation, so make sure you follow me on Twitter and Instagram to keep up with us!
I’ve been buying those coupons books for years now. Funny how people are just noticing them.
The river rafting is super cute!
I love the paintball one!
The gokart racing is too cute!
Such a great idea for couples!!
I love the skydiving! Always wanted to try it but I know my bf will NEVER do it!
I would love to go river-rafting….but realistically paintballing looks fun and we have never been. I like the indoor rock climbing and i know the go-kart racing would be a favorite!! Can you tell we are active? hahaha
I have never heard of this but what a cute idea! I may have to make one of these for Valentine’s Day.
This is so cute. My hubs would love all of these, especially paintballing!
I love this!
…oh and we would totally do the paintball one! Anything to let out a little aggretion and still have fun haha
Love the picture for Moroccan dinner
These look so fun!!! Personally I love the romantic ones.
What a cool idea! I love the “Sunset” picture.
I’ve definitely been out of the twitter loop, but how fun are these?! I think I need to get one to gift to hubby when he’s home for R&R! I don’t want to sound like the one weirdo, but I like the Adults Only section
Y’all’s sundae date sounds fun!
I really like the idea of breakfast in bed
I love Photo Fun!
I would love to win something like this for our anniversary in February!
Your blog is darling. Love anything vintage! Stopping by from our blissdom Facebook page. Erin
The camping one is one of my favorite illustrations
My favorite is the one for the motorcycle ride – it would be perfect for my hubby & I.
I love the skydiving one…not sure I’d be brave enough to actually do it though! haha.
