Updated by Guest Contributor
If you’re planning the perfect date night right now, chances are it’ll be a date night in. During the pandemic, staying in has become the new going out. Couples and single people alike are looking for new and different ways to play a creative date night –– preferably one that doesn’t involve the TV or other routine activities.
That’s why date night subscription boxes are a great choice for couples in all relationship stages. Cratejoy offers a huge variety of activities, projects, and crafts to make your date night in a box a fun and new experience for everyone involved. You can choose from escape room or murder mystery boxes, board games, fun-filled conversation starters, cocktails, cooking, or crafts, and enjoy a set of pre-planned, easy-to-follow activities right from the comfort of your living room.
Date night boxes can take you places you’ve never been to before. Want to travel virtually or explore local foods from around the world safely during COVID? With an at-home date night box, a world of globe-trotting fun can be delivered to your doorstep every month. Since no two monthly boxes are the same, you’re guaranteed to have something new and different to enjoy with every date night box.
So What Are Date Night Subscription Boxes, Anyway?
You may have heard of cooking subscription boxes, clothing subscription boxes, or Cratejoy’s other popular monthly boxes. An at-home date night box is a very similar concept, only it’s designed for two people to enjoy!
Date night subscription boxes are an enjoyable and innovative way to try something new with your partner or enjoy a favorite activity that you both already love. In addition to being great conversation starters, these boxes are also safe to enjoy during the pandemic. Each box comes filled with activities that are already planned out and easy to follow, saving you the time and energy of having to decide what to do on your date. These monthly boxes are designed specifically for couples’ nights, so you focus intentionally on your partner while avoiding the stress and pressure of coming up with an activity to do together. Some monthly boxes are even designed by marriage and family therapists who have clinical expertise in couples’ dynamics and how they work.
The best date night subscription boxes offer a unique, one-of-a-kind way to spend time and make memories with your partner, even in your living room. You can select from a wide variety of boxes and opt for a monthly subscription, ensuring that a brand-new box arrives every month for a date night in. Or for more variety, sign up for a few different subscription boxes and keep the fun going weekly –– or even a few times a week!
Cratejoy is proud to offer subscription boxes that meet a wide variety of price points. Whether you’re looking to splurge and invest in a high-quality luxury date night box or find an economical option, there’s a date box for you that’s packed with fun.
Date Night In: The New Going Out
Even before the pandemic, planning a fun date night often meant staying in if you were trying to save money or, for those with kids, if you couldn’t find a babysitter. But married couples and people who have been dating their significant other for a while can feel like they’re in a rut if every date night is a home date night. It gets all too easy to kick back and watch TV or a movie instead of interacting with each other –– especially when you’re stuck at home and don’t have a lot of new and interesting conversation topics to share.
If you’ve got young kids living at home, you can cut the costs of hiring a babysitter by ordering a date night subscription box . These themed boxes deliver everything needed, making it easy for you and your partner to participate in a neat activity. All of the supplies and instructions are provided for you –– and you don’t even have to leave the house. (Though if one of you needs to put the fun on hold for a minute to check on the kids, that’s no problem.)
Another reason why couples love subscribing to the best date night boxes is that they get to explore new activities from the comfort of home. These boxes are perfect for people who aren’t able to commit time to sign up for classes or who feel nervous about creating art or cooking a dish in front of strangers. Cratejoy’s specially curated date night activity boxes give you an innovative way to try something totally new with your partner –– novel activities that will spark new conversations while rekindling the sparks in your relationship.
Conversely, some couples find a lot of relaxation in enjoying their favorite, time-honored hobbies and want a taste of that familiar fun during the stress of COVID. With the hand-picked activities in a date box, you and your partner can relish your favorite hobbies with a neat new twist. Whether you’re a board game fanatic, an arts and crafts connoisseur, or a seasoned mixologist, you can find an at-home date night box that can help you plan a unique experience and break out of your usual routine.
Want to take your date night in to the next level? How about creating a playlist just for the two of you? It can feature your favorite romantic songs to set the mood, fun and upbeat dance music to keep your energy going, or the memorable tunes you loved when you first started dating. Another option is to create a playlist themed to your at-home date night box. Include thrilling music or famous movie scores for an escape room box, classical favorites or jazz standards for a wine tasting or cocktail night, or songs about food for cooking or baking. Every time you hear one of those songs in the future, you’ll think about your awesome evening with a date night box!
