Finding the time and energy to plan a fun date night can be difficult, but subscriptions can help, and we’ve got you covered with ideas and inspiration.
Cooking a meal, making cocktails, playing a board game, and snuggling up with a movie are all classic date-night-in ideas, but sadly, they quickly get stale. And nothing beats a cozy night in with your partner when the weather has you craving the bedsheets. Still, it’s easy to exhaust all of Netflix’s offerings, or just the best couples shows to watch together.
So if you’re stuck— or want some inspiration — these date night subscription couples gift boxes provide enjoyable or intimate experiences and are an excellent way to strengthen your relationship with your partner.
We’re not talking about your typical date night – we’ve compiled a list of eight unique boxes that will keep you and yours entertained no matter what type of couple you are.
So, if you don’t want to go out or your restaurant options are running out, try a couple of these date night box ideas for a fun night in! All that remains is for you to decide which one to order.
But first,
What Should You Look For When Purchasing Couples Date Night Subscriptions?
If you’ve decided to look for a couples subscription box, the first step is to figure out what you want. Do you want to strengthen your relationship with your significant other? To make time just for the two of you to relax and enjoy each other’s company?
Do you want to solve a mystery or make a craft or a guided experience with snacks or conversation starters? Each of those experiences has its subscription box, but not all boxes are equal, and they all offer a different adventure.
Once you’ve decided what you want from your subscription, we recommend comparing the prices of the boxes that fit your needs, reading our reviews when they’re available, and making sure the shipping cadence of the boxes matches your schedule.

Date Night In Box Package
If you and your significant other are self-proclaimed homebodies, Date Night In’s date nights in a box will be perfect for you. The service provides a fun monthly activity (that isn’t takeout and a movie) that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home. Each date box is centered on a different theme to foster a connection with your significant other.
Previous boxes included “Vegas Nights,” which provided casino-level excitement without leaving the living room, and “Sensing More,” an audio-guided exploration of the five senses’ impact on romance. In addition, each package comes with mood-setting accessories, delectable snacks, and other extras to help you go all out for a night.
The Adventure Package
This creative subscription box delivers curated supplies that elevate DIY date experiences. It was inspired by The Adventure Challenge’s Couples Edition activity book, which prompts couples to scratch off unique date “challenges.”
If you’re curious about the activities, you’ll unbox; trust us to give you a sneak peek. Consider Titanic-themed body painting, a s’mores night, or hand-stamping leather journals together. Nine total boxes supplement the dates in the best-selling book, allowing you to have a unique and memorable date night every month for nearly a year.
Couples Experience Gift Box
Stay connected even during chaotic times. Our carefully crafted, inclusive subscription gift box is guaranteed to pique interest and open doors for a deeper connection. Every item in our boxes has been hand-selected to awaken new experiences you can share. Keep up the momentum while staying connected no matter what you face – you will be prepared to conquer it – together! This box will help nourish and enhance those special moments between loving partners.
Happily Package
Partners, who love to cook? Count us in! Happily is a monthly subscription box for couples that contains activities to strengthen their bond, and we love how personalized it is — if other date night boxes don’t quite hit the mark, this is the one to try.
You’ll begin by responding to some (non-intrusive) questions about your relationship. Tell Happily what activities you enjoy, what you dislike, and if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies. Then, Happily will send a box containing treats, materials, and step-by-step instructions for creating the ideal date night.
The activities are diverse, so if you’re stuck in a Netflix-and-pizza rut, this is a great way to get out. You might enjoy a wine and cheese tasting, learn new dance moves, or make ice cream — you won’t know until the box arrives, and the mystery adds to the fun.
Hunt A Killer
Are you a couple who is in love with crime and thrillers? Then this box is for you? It is a subscription box for crime and mystery date nights, especially if you’re looking for a box that will keep you awake at night.
Hunt A Killer is pretty much what it sounds like. They’ll send you clues about a murder mystery once a month for six months. Then, you and your partner will examine the evidence and try to solve the crime together. This is a great date night box idea if your favorite shows are NCIS or Criminal Minds. We guarantee that you’ll want to get the next one once you’ve finished one six-month mystery.
Datebox Club
Isn’t it all about spending quality time together? DateBox Club curates easygoing and fun experiences, earning them one of our top recommendations by providing a complete date-in-a-box. This subscription box for couples usually includes a snack or dessert you’ll prepare together. You’ll also be given a game or activity to keep you entertained while you eat.
DateBox Club provides low-key entertainment. Puzzles, conversation cards, and painting kits have been included in previous boxes. Of course, you’ll never know exactly what you’ll get — the suspense is part of the fun.
The Modern Love Box Package
With The Modern Love InBox, starting thought-provoking and enriching conversations with your partner has never been easier. This digital download subscription provides tips and activities to help you communicate with your significant other and ignite sparks. Every month, you’ll receive conversation starters and activities in your inbox.
Date night can be enhanced by engaging topics a licensed relationship therapist selects. Self-reflection, society, sex, relationship needs, childhood influences, values, and other topics are covered. It’s a way to start more meaningful conversations — and don’t worry if that sounds like a lot of work. The activities are designed to be engaging and enjoyable, so while the topics may appear daunting, the Modern Love InBox is a date night subscription, not a therapy session.
This digital subscription does an excellent job of bringing couples closer together for a meaningful date night at home. Their website also contains a wealth of resources for connecting with your partner and resolving common relationship issues.
Seductive Pleasure Package
You can spark new romance in the bedroom with an adult subscription box like Seductive Pleasure. Each month, you’ll receive a package containing pleasurable products for increased intimacy and exploration, such as lingerie, body oils, and sensual toys.
Select your box preferences, including the duration of your subscription, and then wait for your monthly surprise. This box will surely spice up your date night whether you’re dating, engaged, or married.
Couples & Crafts
If you want to strengthen your bond with your partner, try building something together. Adults & Crafts is one of our favorite craft subscription boxes, and we think it would be ideal for a date night.
You’ll receive everything you need to construct or decorate a useful item with modern appeal. Previously completed projects include a cool geometric clock, a wall hanger, and a mug stand with personalized mugs.
Given that this box is intended for a single crafter, you may want to order two; however, working on a single project together may provide more date-night mileage. Adults & Crafts also offers craft party packs if you’re planning a night with another couple. The subscription can be canceled at any time.
There you have it. We hope you bought our date night box ideas and found the perfect one too! Keep us in the loop and share what you think. Oh! Don’t forget to knock yourselves out with fun and love.
