Looking for a Couples Date Night Gift Idea? Or just a fun and unique gift card presentation idea? This one's for you.
When I got married my husband's oldest brother gave us a really generous gift. It meant so much to us as we were young and just starting out. When my little brother was getting married I knew I wanted to pay it forward and this is what I came up with.
Gift Card Presentation Idea
I decided to make a "things to look forward to book" full of gift cards and date night ideas. I knew I couldn't fill all the spaces with the gift cards, so I got the ones I wanted and then filled the rest of the spots with fun and unique date night ideas. They loved it.

If you have a Cricut cutting machine here is how you print the tags. If not, you could easily write them on cards or print them using a computer. I'll list the date night ideas down below.
Cricut Instructions
Top Left - Click here to find the design space file. Click make it, then click continue. Load your machine and press go.
Top Right - Once the machine has finished writing proceed to cut.
Bottom Left - Weed the excess paper and then use a scrapper tool to help you peel the date night ideas off the mat.
