How to Create a Coupon Book for Your Significant Other August 27, 2008

Your dearest will be thrilled with this little coupon book that gives them their heart’s desire!

Step 1

Make a list of things you know your partner would enjoy. Things like “a backrub,” “a candlelight dinner,” “a black number you like so much,” etc.

 

Step2

Consider helpful and practical things you can do for your significant other. Examples include “cooking dinner for the kids” or “picking up the dry cleaning.”

 

Step3

Type them all into a word processing program, in 14-point type, with the introduction, “Good For…” Leave six blank lines between each “coupon” so that you end up with four to a page.

 

Step4

Select your text and arrange it in two columns, so that the text lines up evenly in both columns and you end up with eight coupons per page. Center all the text.

 

Step5

Type “GIFT COUPON BOOK” in bold 24-point type on a separate page. This will be the cover of the book.

 

Step6

Print your coupons using the highest print quality.

 

Step7

Draw crop marks evenly between each section of text using a ruler.

 

Step8

Take the pages to a copy shop and have them copied onto bright-colored paper. Have the cover text printed on a heavier stock, and then have all the pages cropped along the crop marks and spiral-bound into a little booklet.

 

And voila! A lovely personalised custom-made coupon book that will make your darling feel like the most special person on the planet. And a slight change in text will work GREAT for kids, too!

Wishing you a romantic crafty time,
