Now, here are a few tips on how to make them and how to give them to your partner:
You can make your own coupon book by printing the templates right from this page. If you want to create the coupons from scratch, grab some red or pink cardstock sheets, scissors, a hole punch, glue stick and ribbon. Write your offers on the cardstock and cut them out. Decorate them with ribbons!
You don't have to give your lover all of the coupons at once. Tear them out, one by one, and hide them in various places. You could put one under the pillow. You could sneak one in his/her briefcase. Slip one inside of the book that he/she is reading. You can fill a Christmas stocking up with a handful of coupons.
Be sure to create coupons of things that you'll enjoy doing yourself. After all, they are promises from you to your lover. If you really don't want to do them, you might end up letting him/her down. The idea is to create coupons for activities that you will both enjoy.

Whenever he/she wants to redeem one of the coupons, be sure to keep your promise! If the coupon is for a romantic picnic, don't make any other plans for that afternoon. If it's for being a sex slave for a day, don't try to get out of it. Love coupons are a way for the two of you to get out of the norm and try some fun, exciting things. However, you must be serious about them. Don't try to get out of doing any of them.
