When you’ve been married or dating for a couple of years, it gets hard to find creative ways to spend quality time together, especially when you’re at home. If you feel like you’ve “been there, done that” with your date nights, subscribing to a monthly date night box could help mix things up. They’re cheaper than dinner and a movie out — and you don’t have to pay a sitter.

Article Overview

Date Night In Box Review

Date Night In Box for dine and dance#1

Date Night In Box gets our top spot with the best variety of themes and quality of products. Like other boxes, you get a new theme each month, but with Date Night In Box you can tell they put a lot of thought behind creative, interactive ideas.

For example, their “Dine & Dance” box includes dance tutorials and gourmet pizza you make together. “Have a Roaring Good Time” transports you to the 1920s with fun props, a murder mystery game and other activities. Their website has detailed pictures of previous boxes to give you a good idea of what to expect.

Happily Datebox Review

Happily Datebox outside#3

Visit Website

When you sign up for Happily’s Datebox, you fill out a questionnaire about your interests, personalities, likes and dislikes to help them choose the best date boxes each month for you and your partner. Some of their previous themes include an evening of art, cheese and wine tasting, gourmet cooking and dance lessons.

We like the personalized approach; unfortunately, their website doesn’t include detailed pictures of what’s included in boxes, which is a big drawback.

Pros

Cons

  • More affordable than others we review here
  • Personalized approach
  • Free shipping
  • Each box comes with a custom playlist and conversation starters
  • Cancel or pause anytime
  • Site also offers a limited number of relationship-related products and online classes (added fee)
  • No photos of previous date box contents to give you an idea of what’s included
  • They offer a “budget-friendly” monthly Digital Date Night option, but there’s no information about what you get

Price

  • $28 monthly
  • $77.67 for 3 months
  • $138.54 for 6 months
  • $7.99/month for Digital Only Plan

Honorable Mention: Bonding Bees Review

Bonding Bees box with art supplies

Visit Website

Bonding Bees delivers date night boxes every month, including custom-created games, food and recipes, crafts, relationship building exercises, desserts and other items.

The only thing we’ve found that sets this box apart from other subscriptions is that each purchase helps provide meals to families in poverty. You can view previous months’ boxes on their site.

Pros

Cons

  • Free shipping
  • Can cancel or pause anytime
  • You can purchase their custom-created games separately
  • Company contributes to Feeding America, and they focus on employing people with disabilities
  • Box contents don’t look as sophisticated as others

Are You Into Wine Or Beer?

Do you and your partner share a love for unique beer or wine? Consider joining a monthly wine or beer club. You could even consider home brewing together with these home brewing kits. While the wine and beer subscriptions don’t contain activities and games for couples, you can still share in the experience of tasting new drinks together and expanding your beverage choices.
