    Thats a fab idea :T, Hope you dont mind if I use it?
    If you dont mind me asking, what sort of things did you put? :D

    goodness me no all good ideas should be copied and used:-)
    for the I Love you coupons I used this site and printed out the PDF sheet
    http://www.romancestuck.com/downloads/LoveCoupons.pdf

    they had sexy ones and all sorts also great ideas for anniversarys(OUR 1ST in feb)

    for the 50 reasons why I love you I just thought of things that mean so much to me once I got started it just flowed from the pen but looked at this site for inspiration
    http://www.inspiration4everyone.com/chris_sandy/sandy_pages/100_reasons_why_i_love_you.html

    for me the way he allows me to be myself with my silly voices and the faces I pull and for being my true soul mate
    I did get a bit soppy and ended up with nearer 60:-)
    It made him cry he was so touched by it:-)

    let me know how you get on:-)

    I used tic tacs in a small baby food jar, altho i should've made the sticker at the top a bit bigger, you can still see some of the purple!! :rotfl: It took about 8 boxes to fill it up, but you can get 4 boxes in tesco for 95p
