Let's Go On A Date & A Giveaway

Happy Friday! 

In celebration of the weekend and for those in the US, the preparation for Thanksgiving, I thought I'd share with you a fun little gift idea for those you love to spend time with.

Datevitation.com is the web's first online platform to create a custom love coupon book. Unlike the pre-packaged love coupon books on the market, you pick the dates and can customize the text to your liking. They have pages and pages and pages of customizable "dates". 

They have a library that contains over 500 date ideas ranging from skydiving to stargazing to steamy adult-only activities. They also have over 100 book cover options to suit any occasion.

If you are single, like me, this is a great gift to give to your best friend, nieces or nephews or even your immediate family members. I created mine for my sweet best friend and roommate. I thought it would be a great little gift for us to do some new things together. 

There’s also an exciting feature that allows you to add photos of your own faces to the illustrations! At first I thought the generic ones were better but once I  added our faces, I was pretty excited. It added even more of a personal touch.



I loved turning some of the pictures into motivational events for us, like making me go to the gym without complaint! 

Once you are done customizing the text in your book, Datevitation will print it out and ship it to you. 

I wasn't sure what I thought about it at first. It seemed a little too cheesy especially for romantic dates but as I got into it, I got excited about how I could give back to the most generous person I know! I loved finding events or date ideas that fit us perfectly.



Books normally start at just $25 so it makes for a thoughtful yet economical gift. But as a special treat for my followers, you can use the code ‘SINGLEDOUBT’ for $10 off your purchase plus free shipping (total value of $13.50) That means you can get your loved one a one-of-a-kind gift for the holidays starting at just $15! The order cut-off date for guaranteed delivery by Christmas is December 13 so make sure to get your order in before then!

Datevitation is also giving away one free book to one of my followers! The giveaway is live and ends on December 6! 

Make sure you check out datevitation this holiday season! Its a very creative idea!  If you are a creative type, like me, this will be a perfect gift to give to your loved ones!

Honey, I'm Home

Hello Friends!  Man its been a long time since i posted... If anyone even noticed! Its ok.  We can be honest with each other.  Although I missed posting, its been a nice break.  I really didn't feel bad at all and even felt relieved that there was no expectation to post. But recently I've been thinking about getting back online and seeing what happens.  I've had ideas and thought maybe you'd want to hear about them!  And by you, i mean the 5 people i know read this from time to time [wink, wink]

First, I thought I'd share with you some of the things I have been up to.

FALL ADVENTURE DAY

My roommate and I try and get away from the city every fall, just for the day.  We rent or borrow a car and then drive upstate. This year we stopped off at Mohonk Mountain Preserve and did a little hiking.  We also were lucky enough to find the old abandoned house that we found on our first Fall Adventure day in 2009.  

PHOTOGRAPHY FUN

I hadn't made my photography a huge priority over the last two years but when one of my closest friends, Kristina, from Big Apple Mami, asked me to take their family portraits, I jumped at the chance.  She has the best little family!

MY LITTLE SHOP

I have an etsy shop, City Girl Creations 98.  One of my favorite things to do is to find new things to create and even to try things on my own.  My latest adventures have been these coffee cozies as well as slouch hats.  I've also tried my hand at fun kids hats. Those pictures will come later, but they are super cute.  Keep an eye out at my shop for sales, discount codes and new creations.  Some of the things I create haven't made it to etsy but you can see some of those items on Facebook Page or my Instagram Page. Feel free to email me or message me for custom orders!

That's what I have been up to.  More exciting things will come later.  I even have a review and giveaway happening later this week!  

Have a lovely week!
