Lyra Levin
"Spirit of the House was delightful. We played it after an evening out, winding down before bed, with our puppy happily joining in. We danced in the kitchen, laughed about our house's quirks, and created many sweet, funny memories together. It was such a lovely excuse to be intimate. We put our housewarming warranty on the fridge, and I smile every time I see it."
Erin Givarz
"We were tired after a long day, but this date night completely energized us. It was playful, lighthearted, and full of connection. The materials felt beautiful and elevated, and we especially loved that it created a sentimental ritual we can return to again and again."

"By the end of the evening, we felt a deeper gratitude for our home's foibles and for each other. We especially loved designing our house spirit, along with our home's motto and crest. Like every GiddyBox date night we've played, we left with little traditions, stories, and symbols that feel uniquely ours."

"The date night was full of laughter and playful, goofy moments. Each activity was engaging and hands-on, and we loved being creative together. A personal highlight was using the sticker sheet to create our house spirit. We loved the finale too and were excited to use the refill kit to pass the envelope forward to our friends."
