I Know You Better Than Yourself

INDOOR / OUTDOOR · COST: $$$ · FOOD: NO · DRINKS: NO

I feel like I'm a pretty good judge of character. You might too. But, regardless of if you are or not, you'll get the opportunity to show your date just how much you (think) you know about them!
Together, you'll stroll through the aisles of a department store (you can even let them know what their favorite store should bepersonal shopper for your foxy-flame.


The Overview

WHAT You Need

Picking Out The Perfect Items

In order to show your date just how intuitive and perceptive you are, you'll be choosing items for them that you know they would have chosen... as well as the reason why (this is the fun part).

    Choose For Your Date:
  • outfit or item of clothing
  • favorite snack
  • sunglasses
  • hat or other type of headware
  • a beauty item
  • children's toy
  • a vitamin or supplement
  • an item they need from the automotive section
  • something outdoorsy or survival themed
  • their favorite beverage
Again, whatever item you choose, you need to give the justification of WHY you chose it for them.

WHEN to do it

Morning, Noon, or Night!

Since this date is better suited for larger "one stop shopping" type stores (Wal-Mart, Target, Fred Meyer, Costco, etc.), you should settle on a location and then check their store hours. Pretty straight forward and I sound like a broken record by now to remind folks that "check the store hours" is actually necessary sometimes.
But, since this is considered an "indoor date", it can really be done any time that the store is open and doesn't need to be relegated to an evening sort of thing or only-on-the-weekend kind of outing. This date is stupidly simple, but can be a whole lot of fun.

WHERE to go

Big Box Stores, Target, Fred Meyer, Wal-Mart, Costco, etc.

Any store that offers everything is a good choice. The more variety, the better. Certain stores are regional, but I'm sure there's a Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Target or Costco in your area. Heck, there might even be some big chain store that is local to you and not out near me that fits the bill exactly. Regardless which store you choose, you'll want to make sure they are going to have the variety you need. If you already shop here on a regular basis, than you should already have a good idea. However, if you are a hermit and order everything online and have it delivered directly to your home, then you may need to do a bit of recon before venturing out to this place with an actual date.
Simplest way to figure out if it's going to be a viable location is look over the scavenger hunt list, walk the aisels a couple times, and get a rough lay of the land. You'll feel more confident if you already have a vague idea of where you're going and what you're doing instead of completely shooting from the hip.
