Tea for Two is available as a one-time purchase. My husband doesn’t drink tea. I was curious if the box would still work for us.
Communication! We need that in our marriage. It might work out after all.
I took the pictures tonight. My husband asked if this box had food. Yes, dear. I shared the chocolate cookie with him.
He’s happy.
Date in a Crate provides four date challenges that utilize the product in the box. I did peek at the challenges and felt that they are easy to accomplish at the pace of one per week.
Are you up for the challenge?
The Date Challenges are family-friendly. No worries if a little one wakes up and needs you. This challenge made me sad because we used to stare into each other’s eyes before going to sleep. Not anymore.
Time to work on communication!
Raizana Happy Tea: The tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. It contains St John’s Wort, a herb known to help relieve the blues. I am giving the tea to my sister to enjoy because it has been gloomy at the farm,
I may need a cup after checking my Popsugar tracking numbers.
I have yet to master the art of taking pictures of highly reflective products. The tea infusers are heart shape. It’s perfect for a date night.
It’s adorable. Place the loose tea in the heart and close it. Dip it in your hot water and infuse. The heart shaped handle makes it easy to remove from the mug.
My family loves honey sticks and Dolcetto Lemon Wafers. They are a nice compliment to tea. We may use hot chocolate with the lemon wafers for the tea challenge.
It’s good to be flexible.
Lady Walton’s Chocolate Wafer Cookie: I shared the cookie with my husband and J tonight. My husband asked if it was made in France. It is made in the USA with European style butter. It had a deliciously rich chocolate taste with a great crunch. I am reading the package now and realize we were to sit it over a warm mug and let the cookie warm up. Oops!

Verdict: The December box is my last box on my Groupon. My husband wants us to try three more months. I thought the tea theme was beautifully curated with tea, infusers, snacks, and romantic challenges.

I think it’s a great sign that your husband wants to try 3 more months! I really don’t know if I could get my husband to do that 5-minute staring challenge… don’t get me wrong, my husband is truly wonderful but he doesn’t always buy in to that “pop psychology” stuff. I think it’s nice and I like the box even though I’m not tea drinker. I also love how you include J in some of your date night stuff. 🙂
If you love that wafer cookie you need to try the caramel ones. They have mini ones at Trader Joes but they are not their label (they also have more caramel chewy goodness then the mug sized wafers). Even though you cannot place them over your cup I suggest them as a mother because the last wafer coffee cup cookie softened and sank into my coffee cup before I came back to it later :/
