Christmas date night gift
The Christmas gift they unwrap on their phone
Twenty mystery envelopes, each hiding a date you'll go on together. They pick, eliminate, resist the Date Dealer's offers and reveal the one you're doing in the new year. It costs less than a stocking filler and lasts a lot longer.

The under-$5 stocking stuffer that turns into a whole date
Most stocking stuffers are forgotten by Boxing Day. This one ends with an actual evening out, planned by you, chosen by them. You don't even need a perfect idea: tell us what you two like and we deal all 20 envelopes from 199 date ideas in four tiers, from Sweet (a hot chocolate walk) to Perfect (a weekend away). Swap anything you don't love.
It works for a first Christmas together, for couples who already have everything, and for long distance relationships where the best present is the next date in person.

What happens when they open it
- 01Pick
They choose one of 20 mystery envelopes and keep it sealed.
- 02Eliminate
Four rounds of cracking wax seals. Every opened envelope is a date leaving the game.
- 03Resist
The Date Dealer calls three times with an offer you wrote. DATE, or NO DATE?
- 04Reveal
Stick or swap, then the last seal breaks. That is your next date.
How to give a link as a Christmas present
- In a card: write the link inside, with "Play this before you open anything else".
- On the morning: text it when the presents are done, as the last surprise.
- With a PIN: lock it with a 4 to 6 digit code and hide the code in their stocking.
- Film it: their face when the Dealer calls is worth the price on its own.
Questions, answered
What is a good last-minute Christmas gift for my boyfriend or girlfriend?
One that arrives instantly and still feels planned. DateOrNoDate is a game of 20 mystery date envelopes your partner plays on their phone: you build it in a few minutes (we suggest every idea) and send the link whenever you like, even on Christmas morning. It costs $3.99.
What do you get a boyfriend who has everything for Christmas?
Time together. He can't already own the date he's about to win, and the game itself (wax seals breaking, a Dealer calling with offers, stick or swap) is a gift on its own.
What are good Christmas date ideas?
Ice skating, a Christmas market crawl with mulled wine, a fondue night, a cosy cabin weekend, a snow day with hot chocolate. You'll find all of them in our idea catalog, ready to drop into envelopes.
How do I give a digital gift under the tree?
Write the link (or "Ask me for the PIN") inside a Christmas card, or text it at the right moment. The partner opens it on any phone: no app and no sign-up.
