This past Christmas was super hectic due to the wedding and
all the planning that went along with it. Because Christmas is my absolute
favorite holiday, I didn't want to “skip it” because I had to think about so
much wedding stuff, so to ensure that that truly wouldn't happen, I was
determined to come up with a fabulous present for my future husband. I thought,
thought, and thought so more, but I didn't know what to get him that would be
super cute, on the cheaper side (because we are trying to save), and something
he would really like. At one point, I was so at a loss of things to think of,
that I even considered buying him a piece of workout equipment he really
wanted.
Hilariously enough, when I went to buy it on Amazon later that week, it said that he had already purchased it! Haha. I was kind of relieved because I wanted to get him something different, but kind of worried at the same time because I knew he would like that and was now fresh out of ideas.

After a few days, I remembered a blog post I had read quite
some time ago about how a girl planned out a date for each month of the year
for her husband’s Christmas present a few years back. I immediately got
excited, and thought that it would be a great idea if I could do something
similar for Felix, but of course, add my own flair! ;) I began to think of what
Felix likes to do and what would be fun for us as a freshly married couple.
Within minutes, I was as excited as a fat kid is when he eats ice-cream!
So, I
got to work….
I had to come up with 12 different dates for each calendar
month, so that was really fun, but challenging at the same time, because
although I wish all dates could be super luxurious, our budget would not allow
it. So, I had to creatively think of ways to have fun, but surprisingly enough,
it turned out really easy! You can do so many fun things WITHOUT money or for a
low cost! You just have to be creative! Now that I figured out which things
were cheaper and which I wanted to splurge on, I began to see with my designer
eyes. I didn’t want each date to just be on a white sheet of paper…These needed
to be cute! So, my designer mind, some glue, scissors, and scrapbook material
went at it. 5 hours later, I finally finished my date packages. I have never
been more excited to give a gift to Felix…
As of course Felix doesn't know what all of the dates will be
yet
(because he has to open them the 1st of every month), I can only give you the inside scoop after we complete each date!When Felix opened the gift, he was excited about what was to come, but now that he has opened some, he is so much more excited!

Here is the
first one I gave him to open on Christmas morning…
Marriage is all about constant growth, and I know with each day, I am falling, and will fall more in love with Felix.
With love ♥,
