Our Date Night Boxes are themed experiences that have been cleverly designed for two people to be able to have a fun and memorable time together. They are ideal for couples to have a date night at home but are also good fun to do with friends and family. 

Date Night boxes also make a great gift for your partner, friends or family and are a unique alternative to a traditional hamper.

We often get orders for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas and other occasions.

Each of our boxes has a unique theme and contents will vary.  All our boxes generally include:

• Scene setting props and decorations
• Hours of fun activities and games
• Indie brand snacks and drinks
• A guide to your date night

Additionally we also include:

• A themed Spotify playlist
• A themed 2 course dinner recipe
• A themed cocktail recipe
• Extra online content for extending your Date Night such as theme related films to watch or extra activities to try

Recipes are provided in advance to allow you to source ingredients prior to your Date Night if you wish to use them.

Not at all! While we try to include a hint of romance in all our boxes, it is entirely optional and will not spoil the experience for those that want to enjoy the boxes with friends or relatives.

Nearly all our boxes are Vegan and Gluten-free.  You can specify dietary requirements when you place your order.  We will try to substitute items in our boxes where possible to meet these for you!

Ingredients are listed on most of our product pages but we urge you to always check the product labels, especially if you have allergies.

Yes! We try and ensure our boxes and activities are gender neutral and can be enjoyed by everyone.  If you think something doesn’t work for you, we’d love to hear your feedback so we can improve future boxes.
