While I am a strong advocate for making your marriage a priority and making time to date each other. I also feel strongly about families making time to connect and have fun together on a regular basis! One of the things that we love for date night, especially right now when we can’t go do a lot of the things we usually do, is date night subscription boxes. I was surprised by how many family subscription boxes are out there as well!

Some family subscription boxes are geared more towards kids with a bit of parental involvement. Others are built to include the entire family in the fun. And a few are built to be a bonding and connecting experience for the parent and one or two kids, more like a date. There are so many great options out there, and I wanted to introduce you to some of the best, and a lot of our favorites. You’ll notice that some of these boxes, especially those with a date night focus, are put together by some of our favorite date box companies. That’s not a coincidence!

Making time for intentional family fun is important to us, especially when we’re in busy seasons of life. Right now while my husband and I are both trying to work and get through school, we’re planning a specific family adventure each week. These family subscription boxes are such a great option for us to not have to plan and prepare on top of everything that we have going on. We purchase our subscription and the box comes to us, ready for us to enjoy with our kiddos. These boxes make great gifts for birthdays, holidays or even back to school! You’ll love them and your kids will too. But more than that, they’ll love the fun quality time that they get to spend with you!
