Oversized Five-Inch Cards
Each card measures five inches by four, large enough to read across a table and thick enough that a coin does not tear through the scratch panel. They stack back into the box after use, so a half-played deck stays together between dates. The larger format also means the illustration and the hidden text share the face without crowding, and the coating comes off in clean strips rather than crumbs.
Clues Before The Scratch
Every card prints four hints on the front: what time of day it suits, what it costs, how long to set aside, and whether it happens indoors or out. That much information is enough to pick a card that fits a rainy Tuesday or a free Saturday without spoiling the idea underneath. Planning shrinks to a single decision, which is the part most couples put off week after week.
Range Of Forty Ideas
The forty ideas run from quiet evenings at home to plans that need shoes and a car, and none of them repeat. That range matters over a long stretch: a couple working through the deck a card at a time will hit something low-key on a work night and something bigger on a weekend without having to sort the pile first. Once a card is scratched, it is spent.
Boxed For Gifting
Because the deck arrives in its own printed box, it goes straight onto a gift table at a bridal shower or into a stocking without wrapping paper. It reads as a present rather than an accessory, which is why it turns up as an engagement gift, an anniversary marker, or the thing one partner hands over when a birthday needs something other than another candle. The box keeps unused cards flat in a drawer.
