Time for the August Date Night In post! In case you missed last month's post, I have found a super fun company that is the perfect tool to strengthen your relationship with those you love! Date Night In Box! This awesome subscription service offers monthly boxes of goodies revolving around a central theme. The activities and products in the box are meant to be used to provide you and your partner with a fun date night in each month. What better way to connect with your partner than by sharing a new experience together in the comfort of your own home? Check out our August Date Night In Box:
This box's Island Adventure theme takes you on a fun tropical journey! It includes items to set the mood, games, authentic snacks, a handy dandy guide to help plan your Date Night In and more!
The included guide is full of great info. It walks you right through the date, step-by-step.
Time to set the mood! This box included a make-your-own candle:
This craft is super easy and the candle smells wonderfully tropical! Each month Date Night In curates a playlist to be the soundtrack of your date. You can access the awesome list via Spotify. We listened to this while making dinner. What a great way to get the date started!
This month's recipe card featured a Beach Breeze Cocktail (as well as a non-alcoholic version) Island Mango Salsa, Grilled Fish Tacos and Coconut Macaroons.
You can find a printable grocery list for the recipes on Date Night In's site. I thought the idea of cooking up a fabulous meal with my hubby was an awesome date even without all the other stuff...lol! We love cooking together and we especially love eating together, so this was one of our favorite parts!
There were a couple of great games in this month's box. Word Challenge is a word making game:
Love At Sea is a battleship-type game. It came with laminated game boards and dry erase markers as well as a list of questions.
The questions are designed to encourage light-hearted discussion throughout the game.
Another fun couple's activity in the August box is Message In a Bottle. We munched on this month's snack, Dried Organic Tropical Mix, while we created our letter.
The Reflection section of the guide gives you discussion topics, ways to continue your date night and movies that you could watch that tie into the theme. What better way to keep the date going than with a movie?!
We have actually seen all the movies on the list, but you can't go wrong with Jaws...a classic snuggle on the couch movie selection!
This was way cheaper and lasted a lot longer than a "normal" date night. In our opinion, it was way more fun too!
Looks amazing right? To recap, for just $41.99 (with free shipping), you’ll get a complete date night totally planned out for you with several activities, ambiance, music, snacks, recommended dinner menu and more. If faith is an important pillar of your relationship, Date Night In is now offering the option to include a faith-based discussion guide as part of your experience. If you want to involve the kiddos, they have a Kid's Night In box as well! So much awesomeness! Check it out!!
Trust me, after your first Date Night In experience, you will definitely find yourself looking forward to the next month's date! This is a great way to get us to slow down and make a point to have at least one night, just the two of us, to reconnect and have some fun!
Stay tuned for next month's Date Night In Box!
