Picnic Date Night in a Jar

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I am so looking forward to spring and warm weather. There’s nothing like getting outside and enjoying those perfect temperatures in the evenings with your special someone.

We’ve gone through quite a few of our weekly date night ideas in a jar that work indoors and we even came up with a fun movie night in a jar to get cuddly with a movie. But this picnic date night idea works both indoors and outside.

Let’s get started on this fun (and easy) picnic date night jar.

Tips to Make this Date Night in a Jar

• Make this the day you plan to go on your picnic date night. The flavors might mingle too much if you make it the day before.
• While you’re enjoying your picnic date night with you-know-who, you can use your jar as your trash collection, so no littering!
• No one says it has to be outside – we’ve done many picnics in our living room, under the overhang at a park, or even under an umbrella – this is Seattle, WA and we’re used to a bit of moisture.
• Be sure to include a favorite treat for your partner. I like a chocolate chaser myself.
• Don’t forget to get your picnic tag printable here to really add that finishing touch to your picnic date night in a jar.
