This thread title made me think of JT's "d*ck in a box" lol :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-in-a-box-ideas#post-1050618 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:13:47 +0000 Smurfette 1050618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love @maybebaby: picnic idea!! Different than the movie route, which I still love but, I think that is everyone go too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-in-a-box-ideas#post-1050587 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:00:04 +0000 maybebaby 1050587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a sweet idea! What about a picnic basket, some fun disposable plates/napkins from Target or something, a bottle of sparkling lemonade and some goodies from Trader Joes to enjoy as part of a picnic? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-in-a-box-ideas#post-1050568 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:51:19 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1050568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a cute idea! I like the popcorn and candy idea too. My husband and I like to play boardgames, so that could be an option instead of a movie.</p> <p>If they have a fireplace, the makings for smores might be fun.<br /> Another idea might be all the makings for a nice meal? Pasta and sauce, good cheese, wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-in-a-box-ideas#post-1050556 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:46:28 +0000 Boheme 1050556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a friend do that for us once! It was one of our fav gifts. It had a DVD, popcorn, and movie theater snacks like Junior Mints and Jujubes. I've seen another one with a board game, snacks, and wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-in-a-box-ideas#post-1050555 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:46:26 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1050555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Oh good idea! Yes, like actually going to the movie! Fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-in-a-box-ideas#post-1050554 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:45:35 +0000 MrsH 1050554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are going to do a movie you should add in the popcorn and movie candy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/date-in-a-box-ideas#post-1050547 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:43:43 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1050547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our good friends just had their second child and I want to give them a "date in a box" as a gift. They did not have a shower/sprinkle, but I was planning on getting a gift for the new baby, older sibling and something for them as a couple. I thought a date in a box would be a fun idea, but I'm not exactly sure what to do! They are big wine drinkers so I wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable giving wine (their worst wine is probably our best), but I had thought along the lines of a rom-com DVD, wine and dessert might be cute. Creative bees help me please! </p>
