The return to ‘normal’ is bound to have an effect on us all, whether we can’t wait to get out and meet friends, or if we’re a bit more nervous we need to remember that everyone reacts differently. This Mental Health Awareness week is a timely reminder to be kind, and to take things at […]
We’re proud to support local, and national charities, and as we all know the last 12 months have proved difficult for those fundraising and those receiving support from charities. When we developed our New Parent date box back in 2018 we knew this was one way we could give back. When you become a parent […]
We’ve been inside so long now that the great outdoors is going to feel soooo great when we get it back! I think a lot of us have a new found respect for our local area and hopefully long walks, exploring new places and enjoying the countryside are going to be higher up our agenda […]
Ok, it’s only small steps but still, it’s a step in the right direction! Last summer we took a leap and said I do… To another business! And we’ve not really shouted about it since, mainly due to being so busy but also we’ve been getting our heads around the products and, well lets be […]
As we enter lockdown again, we now know the stresses that this can have on people and on relationships. Last time it was new and we were all in this together, now we’re all just annoyed and fed up. So we thought it was worth bringing the A-Z of dates you can do without leaving […]

Getting fed up of National ‘days’? Was Pirate Day the last straw? Many of these national and international days are invented for commercial reasons and others just encourage us to eat doughnuts/pizza or use our left hands! We are lucky that there is a day that is tailor made for our thoughtful gift that’s been […]
Our Christmas Table Box had been a step in a new direction for us, there’s no envelopes, no dates… But lots of smiles, family fun and memories to be made. To make sure 2020 is memorable for all the right reasons we selected some of our favourite small business pals to provide the treats that […]
Soft lights, cosy nights, all the food… Christmas isn’t just magic for children it tends to make even the least romantic soften around the edges (it could be as it’s also the only day drinking at breakfast is legit!). We know Christmas is the time when romance re-surfaces – how many babies do you know […]
We love that our customers share their experiences on social media, it genuinely makes us smile. So we were delighted when one couple agreed to share their year of dates story (so far) with us. Kirsty Grant and Katie Rushton completed a date a week from A Year of Dates classic dating box after Katie […]
