Secret Agent Love Mission

Today’s idea comes straight from my husband’s creative mind—seriously, you know you’ve got a keeper when he does fun little things like this.


He did this during the day of our anniversary, while I was at work. I had a time limit to find all the clues and they ultimately led me to a set of gift cards to stores that I love! You could also highlight ONE letter in each clue (make it really obvious) so that in the end, when all of the clues have been found, they will have to do a little word scramble to find the location of the gift….

Here's what you'll need:
1. Envelope with "Agent Name" typed on it
2. The Mission document: download here and adjust as necessary
3. Their favorite treat (my husband gave me Lindor Truffles (my favorite!) in a bag along with the Mission document. (if you don't use those, be sure to change the text where it says "highly gluconated truffles")
4. Red Dots ("homing beacons" to help them find the clue)
5. Small clue cards (I recommend 5-8 clues)
6. The gift(s) or description of gift

My husband's clues and envelope looked like this:

{Yes, you're reading that right. We always thought "sweetheart" was too mushy of a name, so adapted and adopted "sourtart" and "bittertart" -- call me crazy, but it works for us!!}


Here are some examples of clues that they'll have to "decode" in order to find the location of the next clue. I'm sure you can think of many more that would suit your house better.

1. You spice up my life…it would be bland without you! (leads to spice rack or cupboard)
2. We’ve tread a million miles together and I’ve loved every minute of it (leads to treadmill)
3. I know we’ve had our ups and downs, but the ride has been great (elevator or stairs)
4. Our love only gets better with time (leads to a clock).
5. You're the only one who holds the key to my heart (leads to key rack/holder).
6. You rock my world…(leads to rocking chair or any rocks you may have in the house)
7. I’m head over heels in love with you. (leads to shoe closet)
8. You’re hot! (leads to stove)

IMPORTANT: If you choose to use my “Mission” document download, be sure to put the first clue in the back of their cell phone. {Hopefully they will figure this out) And, don’t forget to insert the right information on the blank lines…and delete the words in parentheses, duh!)

As always, have fun! And please let me know if you have questions...or comments!
