Take them on one of these fun hikes that are not just good exercise but will be fun for their soul. Who knows what adventures you two will get up to?
8. DATE IDEA:
The weather for Valentine’s Day is looking warm and sunny so there is no better time than to plan a traditional Colorado outing: A hike! Weird Hikes Colorado is a collection of bizarre, funny, and absolutely true stories to get you in the spirit. Then buy surprise your soulmate with their favorite backpack from Jax and get ready to make memories! Perhaps by the time you reach the trailhead at the end of the hike, you’ll have a story of your own to submit to Weird Hikes for their next volume!
9. DATE IDEA:
Movie nights are amazing and can rarely be improved upon but leave it to Jax to do just that! Surprise your bunny-butt with an awesome movie, pop some popcorn, and sprinkle on buttery jalapeno, creamy ranch, or bacon popcorn seasoning and get to snacking. For the last hour or so of the movie, surprise them with a desert of –you guessed it—more popcorn. But this time, sprinkle on some chocolate chip cookie dough, salted caramel cocoa, or some French toast popcorn seasoning. It’s a date they are sure to never forget!
10. DATE IDEA:
This one is for those of you who bonded over Hot One’s on your first date or if you just can’t say no to a little spice in your life! First you are going to want to print out some questions cards. For example: “What was my favorite thing we did last year” or “What was my favorite trip that we took since last valentine’s day?”. Then select 5-15 hot sauces from Jax’s extensive collection, all progressively hotter on the hot-intensity scale. As you and your bugger-boo ask each other questions from the cards, you’ll eat a chicken wing or tofu with the hot sauce. As you both answer the questions correctly, you’ll progress through the hot sauce. The first question will be mildest hot sauce and the last question will be hottest sauce. The goal of the game is to get as many cards right as you can and be the first one to scarf down the hottest hot sauce. Not only will this be a fun bonding experience but a great way to take a trip down memory lane!
11. Race Entry to the Fall or Spring Equinox Races ($Varies)
There is nothing better than training and racing with your person for miles of together time! Or if there is only one runner in the relationship, showing your support is a sure way to their heart! Buy that race entry, make the homemade sign, and be there at the finish line to celebrate their amazing victory!
