As new parents, we often find it hard to go out for date nights. The baby may go to sleep at 8:00 pm, but it’s not like we can leave the house. That’s where Date Night In Box saves the day! Date Night In is a custom created, memorable date night subscription experience to be enjoyed from the comfort of your home. Each Date Night In box includes interactive activities with ambiance and a tasty treat to bring couples together in meaningful ways.

I was so excited when our first Date Night In box arrived at the house. The theme for our first box was “Foundation of Love”. Each box includes a discussion guide that directs you through the date. It also includes optional recipes for you to try & a playlist to listen to during your date.

Our first challenge was to write words that described our relationship on separate popsicle sticks. Some words we chose were love, trust, compassion, patience, etc. We then had to build a structure to surround our candle.

The next task involved jelly beans and toothpicks. Now we had to build a platform for our empty Date Night In box to sit on. We constructed a plan and were successful on the first try. We ended up using all of the jelly beans minus one that is needed for the next challenge.

Our final challenge was to construct a tower of straws that would need to hold the remaining jelly bean at the top. John actually took the lead on this and went to town connecting straws right away. We constructed a very simple tower that consisted of 5 straws connected to each other and then all of the long pieces were put together to make a tree-like structure.

Once that was complete, we then had to place our straw structure on top of the Date Night In box and our toothpick structure. Our entire structure was 40 inches tall.

Overall we both really enjoyed our date night. We did things we wouldn’t normally do & used team work to complete our tasks. We don’t always have the time to talk about things other than the baby & work, so this was a perfect tool to open up discussion topics.
