Digital date night jar
A date night jar that plays like a game show
The jar was a great idea. Then it sat on a shelf. Here, the slips become 20 sealed envelopes, and picking one becomes a four-round game with a Dealer, a phone call and a final reveal.

What is a date night jar (and why yours is gathering dust)
A date night jar is a simple ritual: write date ideas on slips, put them in a jar, pull one out when you can't decide. It works, until the slips run out, the ideas feel stale, or nobody remembers the jar exists.
A digital date jar keeps the good part (letting chance decide) and adds what paper can't: suspense, a reason to play again, and a set of ideas that reshuffles every time.

Questions, answered
What is a date night jar?
A jar full of folded slips, each with a date idea. When you can't decide what to do, one of you pulls a slip and that's the plan.
How do you make a date night jar?
Write 20 to 50 ideas on slips (mix cheap and special ones), fold them, and put them in a jar. Some couples colour-code slips by budget or effort. A digital jar does the same with less crafting: you pick the ideas, and the "pull" becomes a game.
What do you put in a date jar?
A range: easy at-home nights (movie night in, a bake-off), evenings out (cocktails, a cooking class), bigger experiences (a spa day) and one or two dream dates (a weekend away). Our catalog has 199 sorted into four tiers.
Can you make a date jar for a wedding or bridal shower?
Yes, it's a popular gift. A digital version works too: create the game for the couple and send them the link.
Can I print it?
No, it's an online game, which means nothing to cut out and nothing to lose. If you want something to hand over, write the link inside a card.
