How it works

  1. Pick a card

    Pull one from the deck. You won’t know the plan until you scratch it, so it stays a surprise.

  2. Scratch to reveal

    Scratch off the card to find your idea for the night or the afternoon.

  3. Scan for more

    Every card has a QR code. Scan it for a page made for that card, with extra ideas and tips.

A gift that turns into plans

A deck is 45 nights or afternoons nobody has to plan. It fits in a stocking, next to an anniversary card or in a housewarming basket.

Questions

Where do I buy a deck?

In our Etsy shop. Every Buy on Etsy button goes straight to that deck’s listing.

What does the QR code on each card do?

It opens a page made for that card, with extra ideas and tips. On the New York deck it also points you to real places, each with a map.

Do I need to live in New York?

Only for New York Date Night Ideas. Date Night Ideas and Family Activity Ideas work anywhere.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping is free in the US, and decks ship from St. Louis, Missouri. Etsy shows the delivery date for your address before you buy.

Can I return a deck?

Yes, within 30 days through Etsy. The buyer pays return shipping, and the deck has to come back in its original condition.
