September Theme – Love At Ease

Set The Mood
Take a moment to consider the space where your date will occur. This date is all about relaxation, so we encourage you to get comfy in bed or create a cozy space on the floor. It might even be a good idea to change into comfy clothes! We also recommend pausing to prepare for this date mentally. If you’ve had a busy or stressful day, take a minute or two to clear your mind.

Complimentary Dinner Menu
This month’s optional dinner menu included 2 cups of coffee or tea with cinnamon and maple creamer, sage and garlic breakfast sausage, and buttermilk pancakes topped with cinnamon apples.

If you ask me, there is never a wrong time for breakfast! This meal looks so delicious, and I’m excited to whip something new up in the kitchen.

Easy Rollin’
Easy Rollin’ is a fast dice game of chance. To play Easy Rollin’ players roll the dice over and over. The goal is to get as many points as possible by adding up the rolls’ face value. The first player to reach 100 points wins. Materials: 2 Dice, Empty Date Night In Box

Sip & Savor
There’s nothing quite like a warm beverage. Something about coffee and tea can make you slow down, sip deliberately and relax. A hot beverage simply brings coziness to a room. For your date, we have prepared a coffee and tea tasting. Materials: 4 Coffee and Tea Samples (included), 4 Tasting Cups (included), Coffee Brew Buddy (included), Coffee/Tea Mug, 4 Cups of Hot Water

I love that they also chose to include the Coffee Brew Buddy. It is reusable, and can help you prepare coffee in only 30 seconds!

Crossword Puzzle
Work together to complete the crossword puzzle below. If you need help, flip to the back of your date guide for a word bank.

I love crossword puzzles, or any sort of similar puzzle games. They make you think, and playing these with your partner can help you learn a little bit more about them and the things they find interesting!

Couples Yoga
You might have noticed a theme with the crossword puzzle you completed. If you guessed couple’s yoga was in your near future, you guessed correctly. According to Harvard Health Publishing, yoga has many benefits, including better body image, heart benefits, improvement to overall fitness and fostering calm and mindfulness.

Relax – Aromatherapy Massage Oil
As an added bonus this month, we have included Relax Aromatherapy massage oil from Plantlife in your Date Night In Box. This can be used at any point in your date to soothe and calm the body and mind for total relaxation…

Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Caramel Biscotti
This month’s Date Night In Box included a special treat that is perfect for the coffee and tea tasting activity.

Date Night In Box Review September 2019 – Final Thoughts

I love the idea behind this box. When life gets a little crazy, it’s easy to forget the importance of having date nights and relaxing! What I love most about this month’s box is that it gives me and my husband a chance to experience something we’ve never done before (yoga) and so much more! The dice game and crossword puzzle are nice touches. They add a little bit of competition and healthy collaboration to keep things interesting! I look forward to surprising my hubby with a date night all planned out, courtesy of Date Night In Box. We’ll be able to sit back, get cozy, enjoy a delicious meal, and spend some much needed quality time together.
