DATE NITE BOX

I want to personally take some time out to thank Date Nite Box for their participation and involvement in A Brighter Future for Children charity fundraiser this past weekend. Thanks to supporters and donors like you all, we were able to raise some wonderful funds and supporters of the Audrey Hepburn CARES Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. There is a need for sponsors and supporters everywhere so I encourage you to continue helping the world one person at a time. Again, the Dream Builders Project thanks you, I thank you, and the children of the CARES center thanks you. Look forward to changing the world with you again in the near future :)

You know, as a husband I do my best to keep my bride wooed. We schedule regular date nights and make them a priority. We’ve been married a while so we have our routine places and we’ve been pretty happy thus far sticking to those. We like that our servers and bartenders know our name — that kind of thing.
So when the wife told me that she wanted to try this service, I was a little weary about it. Trusting someone else to book a date for us? I didn’t know about all that, but I agreed to go along with it.
The wife and I logged on to the site, checked out their available packages, filled out a quick survey, and booked our package. Easy process.
Shortly after that we received an email confirming our purchase. Within a couple days we received our Date Nite Box in the mail. The process couldn’t have been easier.
We received some fun swag in our box along with our itinerary, vouchers, and directions to our date.
When we arrived the location our names were registered and it was clear that they were expecting us. No issues at registration– bonus points for that because honestly this is the point in the date where I expected things to go wrong. You know how it is, sometimes you plan things for yourself and you STILL have issues at check ins for places. That wasn’t the case for us.
We had a great time, learned how to make a great meal, ate well, and did something for our date night that we wouldn’t have normally chosen for ourselves and had a great time.
In looking at the price tags for our chosen date, we walked out of there feeling like we got a great deal considering what we paid for our Date Nite Box. They couldn’t have made it easier for a guy and the wife was happy.
Happy wife happy life right? We would definitely use this service again.

The Hubs and I have been married 7 years and together for a total of 16 years. We have been on a lot of dates and we definitely have our favorite go to routine dates we mostly default to. We know what we like and so that’s what we usually stick to but you know, that doesn’t leave us a lot of room for trying new experiences. We make it a habit to schedule AT LEAST 1 date a month for the hubs and I to unwind, have fun and reconnect — and when I shared this with a friend she recommend we try out the Date Nite Box service maybe they could help us find something new to do.
I was a little weary at first– the hubs and I are service snobs and kinda picky– (again, we’ve been together A LONG TIME and so we know what we like) but honestly, both the Hubs and I have been really busy and stressed lately– I liked the idea of having someone plan the whole thing for us so I said what the heck and decided to give it a whirl. Worse comes to worse, we try something new and we blame someone else for the choice if we don’t like it. HAHA. Zero liability dating. I like it.
I filled out the survey (not too long) with our likes and dislikes and went through the sign up process on line without any issue. Right away I received a confirmation of my Date Nite package choice and was told that a consultant would be in touch with us if necessary to get more information.
I never got a call from the consultant but within a couple days we received our Date Nite Box in the mail. Our Date Nite Concierge had selected a French cooking class for us at Sur La Table in Newport — huh– The Hubs and I had never been to a cooking class. Neat.
We received some super neat french themed aprons from Sur La Table as part of our date swag, along with our vouchers, and some other fun stuff to use on our date ;-)
The date went off without a hitch– honestly we didn’t know what to expect from a cooking class– when I told the Hubs we’d be cooking he kind of raised an eyebrow and gave me a weird look but he conceded to go. WE HAD THE BEST FRIGGIN TIME. WAAAAAAY more fun than either of us expected it would be.
Our class was fun, I learned things about cooking I didn’t know before (like how to open a pomegranate and how to cut a perfect shallot– also, did you know steaks should go in the oven after being seared in a pan?!?) and ended up having SO MUCH FUN and a great meal. It surprised us how much we enjoyed our cooking class and our date.
Honestly, never in a million years would I have picked a cooking class as a date for The Hubs and I but I’m so glad our Date Nite Box concierge picked it. We had a friggen blast. We would totally do it again.
The price we paid for the class, the meal, the fun extras in our box and the Sur La Table Swag was well worth the price of our package– we walked out of there feeling like we scored a great deal. I highly recommend this for couples that want to switch it up a bit on their date night.

Date Nite Box was an awesome experience. My girlfriend and I had such a great time. I would definitely recommend it!

A friend told me about Date Nite Box so I decided to try it out for my boyfriend and I. Figured it would be a change of pace for us. The date arrangement was totally perfect! It was totally us! We had a 6 course meal at a romantic Italian restaurant with a personalized picture frame of a picture we had taken that evening. We both love to eat and the photo was an awesome bonus! The box also came with edible massage oils and dark chocolates mmmmm!!! We both loved loved it and would definitely do it again… I’m thinking scuba diving:)
