My wife and I recently received a Datebox as a gift. If you don’t know what Datebox is, it is a service that gives you “Everything you need for a fun and creative date delivered to your door”(Datebox.com) . There are different activities and new opportunities in each box. You can sign up for a paid subscription, and they have different plans that are available. You can check out the plans for yourself at www.getdatebox.com.
This isn’t a technical review of Datebox, but more of me just relating my experience and then for you to make your own decision. I’m sure that there are other services like Datebox, and as I come across them, I’ll be happy to share my experience with you.
Contents
Our Datebox included: 2 blank canvases, brushes, and acrylic paint. There were also conversations starters and the ingredients to make cake pops with a Spotify playlist to set the mood. We started making the cake pops so that they could go in the oven, while we prepped to paint. With our favorite music softly playing in the background, and a blank canvas in front of us we got out our painting materials and let our creative juices flow.
Communication
While we painted, we used the conversation starters. We started with one of the cards which then encouraged us to share our hearts with each other. These types of games can seem trivial, especially if you have been together with your spouse a long time. However, when you approach with a heart seeking to enjoy the experience, you can learn something new or remember some things you may have forgotten over the years.
After the cake pops were done, we let them cool and ate a couple of them. They were a little sweet for our taste, but I enjoyed the overall concept.
Connection
Could a Datebox or a service like Datebox be beneficial to you? I believe that it can be. It can help all types of couples. For those that have been together for years, it can be something fresh and new to do together. Couples that are newly married or dating it can be a way to solidify your relationship. For the married couples with kids, it can be a way to have some quality time after the kids have gone to bed.
We enjoyed the Datebox that we received. It will be stored in the back of our minds as something we can add to our list of dating options.
Have you guys tried Datebox or other services? What were your experiences?
