  1. Step 1

    Make a list of things you know your partner would enjoy. Things like "give you a backrub," "make you a candlelight dinner," "wear that black lacey thing you like so much," etc.

  2. Step 2

    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."

  3. Step 3

    Type them all into a word processing program, in 14-point type, with the introduction, "Present this coupon and I will..." Leave six blank lines between each "coupon" so that you end up with four to a page.

  4. Step 4

    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.

  5. Step 5

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

  6. Step 6

    Print your coupons using the highest print quality.

  7. Step 7

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

  8. Step 8

    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.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have nice handwriting you can write out the coupons in calligraphy and then have them copied, cropped and bound. Don't use your originals because the ink might smear or run.
  • For fun you can add romantic stickers (like hearts and lip prints) to the cover and on the coupons.
