Things for a Love(ly) Dinner

D's little brother just got engaged, so today I shopped a Love Dinner kit (with D's money and approval)! It was fun to think of what to get for a cool young couple and match it all. When I got home I proceeded to write a recipie containing all the things I got, a how-to for a lovely evening. I do hope they enjoy it! But keep it a secret, they haven't gotten the bag yet..


From top and then clockwise:

• A paper bag to put everything in (white dots on black with red ribbon).
• Fake flowers to decorate with.
• There can be no Love Dinner without candles!
• A paper wrap for Bag-in-box wines, with Elvis (how cool is that?).
• Paper napkins with Elvis (I'm leaving instructions for them to play the King this evening)
• A set of love poetry magnets for the fridge (to take turns making poetry with while cooking).
• And this I have no idea if they like or not, but I thought it fun - a set of two dice, one with action words and the other with 'where' words. I.e. Kiss + neck and so forth.. (for use after dinner while drinking the hot chocolate that's in the kit).
• The recipie!
• Minty chocolate powder (to use with hot milk.)
• Spiced salt, good with meat and fish (I'm proposing they buy a good quality meat to use this with, and then some readymade sauce and sallad. His kitchen is really small.)
• Heart shaped pasta.
• A card I made, containing a little message from us.
