Cheap and Creative Dates

We really like creative dates and we especially like when those dates are cheap or free.  What’s even better is when they inspire mushy-gushiness, romance and lots of kissing.

Enter my silly but mushy-gushy, romantic and kissy kissy Cheap Creative Date #1.

Supplies needed

1. m&ms or skittles

2. construction paper and scissors

3. pen or marker

Step 1.

Cut out two strips of paper for each color of m&ms or skittles.  Put in two piles.

Step 2.

Write silly mushy gushy discussion prompts on each strip of paper.  Things like: “Favorite memories together” or “Your favorite things about me” or “Things you admire most about me.”  Throw in some good action prompts like:

If same prompts are used for each pile, write them on different colored paper.

Step 3:

Get two bowls and put 55 m&ms (frozen if you want them to taste better!) or skittles in each one (that’s 1/4 cup, which is the serving size for m&ms.  It sounds like a lot- and maybe it is.  But they’re oh-so-good.)

Put your prompts in two separate bowls- one for each of you.

Now the game begins.

1. Decide who goes first.

2. First person chooses a color of m&ms or skittles and pulls all of that color out of the bowl to be counted.  Let’s say I pick red and have 12 red m&ms.

3. Then I pick the red prompt.  I do whatever it says or talk about whatever it tells me to talk about 12 times.  So I give 12 kisses on the lips or I list 12 things I admire about my husband.

4. Then I eat my 12 red m&ms. 

5. The game can be interrupted at any time for the cause of mushy gushyness, romance, or lots (more) kisses.
