How it works
Three steps to the most talked-about gift at the party.
01
Plan the dates
Pick a template or start blank. Add the venue, budget, a photo and a cryptic clue for each date.
02
Set the countdown
Choose when the first date opens and how often the next ones unlock — weekly to monthly.
03
Gift the anticipation
Send the gift link by text or WhatsApp, or include it in a handwritten card. They watch the countdown tick.
An experience gift for every milestone
Unique wedding gifts
Give the newlyweds their first year of date nights. Far more memorable than the registry — and nobody else will think of it.
Anniversary gifts
For couples who have everything except a free evening. Turn the anniversary into a year of new memories.
Birthday experience gifts
12 dates for their 30th, a sibling adventure or a bestie bucket list. Fun to give, even better to open.

Explore the year-of-dates guideQuestions, answered
Is it really free?+
Yes — creating and sharing a Datebox is free during launch. Add up to 12 dates with photos, clues and countdowns. No account or payment card required. Activities, bookings and travel are separate costs.
What is a Datebox?+
A digital experience gift: a set of pre-planned dates that unlock one at a time. Before each date unlocks, the recipients only see a cryptic clue, a blurred photo and a countdown.
Is it a good wedding gift for a couple?+
It can be a personal alternative to another household gift. Plan dates around the newlyweds' interests, add a message and share their gift link. Choose three experiences or add up to 12 for a longer series.
Who pays for the dates?+
You decide and arrange it separately. Datebox does not book venues, collect activity funds or issue vouchers. A budget on a card is a planning note, not a payment: tell the recipients whether you have booked, transferred money or are suggesting an activity.
How does the unlock schedule work?+
Pick a start date and an interval of 7, 14, 21 or 30 days. Dates reveal on that schedule; it is not a venue booking. For a year-of-dates gift, add 12 dates and choose the 30-day option, rather than fixed calendar-month dates.
Can I add my own photos and clues?+
Yes. Upload a photo for each date or choose one of our editorial presets, write a teaser clue for the locked state and a reveal note for when it opens.
How do I give it?+
You get a share link instantly. Send it by text or WhatsApp, or write it in a card. Anyone with the link can view the gift, so avoid adding sensitive details.
