Our Bucket List Adventures: A Journal for Couples

This selection is all about journaling as you check items off your proverbial dating bucket list. The theme is a common one for activity books these days, made popular by the 2007 film, The Bucket List, but the design of the book makes it stand out from the pack. It’s definitely one of the best date books for couples, so it deserves a mention at #2 on the list.

If you’re unfamiliar, a “bucket list” is a list of achievements a person hopes to complete during a lifetime. That concept is transformed into a list of dating goals a couple hopes to share throughout their relationship. From start to finish, Our Bucket List Adventures: A Journal for Couples guides partners through making their list and setting out to check off its items. Journaling tools help to document the memories.

What’s inside this date book?

• Brainstorm 50 Bucket List Items
  
  Couples will need to come up with 50 unique bucket list goals that they are eager to complete together. The book has an activity section where you and your partner can brainstorm ideas before they finally make it to your bucket list. While this is great, it is time-consuming. Those with busy schedules will want to budget date time for the list itself. There’s something to do on that rainy day!

• Journal Your Adventure Memories
  
  Whenever you go on adventures together, journal your memories so you can revisit them for years to come.

• Add a Favorite Photo
  
  Add your favorite photo to each item, so you can recount the sights and feelings as you review the items you’ve already checked off your list.

• 5 Engaging Questions
  
  After you journal your bucket list experience, these questions serve as conversation starters so couples can reflect on the valuable time they shared during the adventure.

Need more reasons?

• Bucket list ideas
  
  This book requires couples to come up with their “bucket list” adventures, unlike the Adventures from Scratch book that does all the work for you. However, the book offers 115 bucket list ideas, so if you’re blanking out, you can refer to these and add some of them to your bucket list.

• A Bucket List Finder page
  
  When you accomplish goals from your bucket list and journalize them, use the Bucket List Finder page so you can easily reference them and organize your adventures neatly.

• 50 Bucket list journaling pages
  
  These are the pages where you will journal your experiences as you complete them.

In summary…

The authors, Ashley and Marcus Kusi, do a fine job at producing an easy-to-use couples’ diary. Some reviewers complain that there aren’t enough ideas to get the activities started, but if you’ve got the motivation, this book gives you the structure you need to record your adventures. As a bonus, you’ll end up with a nice little keepsake!

175 Best Date Ideas

If you tried Our Bucket List Adventures: A Journal for Couples and struggled with putting together your list, consider this a possible companion. It’s advertised as a book of endless alternatives to dinner and a movie and it delivers. It’s been around for a while but continues to get positive reviews.

Many reviewers seem to think the dates are skewed for a younger crowd, but some of us are young at heart, so it’s worth a look. Let’s dive in!

What’s inside this date book?

As promised, there are 175 suggestions for fun, quirky, and romantic outings with your special person.

Some dates are designed for individuals to connect intimately, as a couple, while others that promise to make you laugh.

1. Indoor Adventure Book Challenges

Who said you need to go on a vacation to feel adventurous? Sometimes, curling up at home is the best place to find adventure with your beau. Adventures From Scratch: Date Edition has a list of indoor challenges that will have you laughing and loving in no time. For instance, ‘Come Here Often?’ is an epic mixologist-themed activity to keep you in high spirits. Make new cocktails for your partner as you mix ingredients and decorate the glasses. Add special ingredients that your partner will love. While you’re at it, why not make a funny version and add a twist (like soy sauce or vinegar) to prank your partner? The secret ingredient – a dash of love! When you’re done, sip and speak with your significant other about why you chose each ingredient and what they mean to them.

If you’re looking for indoor family activities, check out Adventures From Scratch and its indoor talent hunt challenge. For this at-home version of Family’s Got Talent, get each member to show off a special skill – they can be anything, from singing, dancing, blowing bubbles, juggling, or even solving a Rubik’s cube. Weird talents are welcome too! While every member performs, the other family members can be judges and give them points, and compliment their fancy skills.

2. Outdoor Adventure Book Challenges

When the sun’s out and it’s spring, step out with your partner for some outdoor fun! Adventures From Scratch has an epic list of outdoor activities, from a scavenger hunt to a zombie invasion. For example, check out Apocalypse, a zombie-themed adventure. A zombie apocalypse is imminent, so you must move out of your ASAP and carry only essential supplies. Be warned – you have only five minutes to pick your supplies. Rush out of your house, grab your S/O, and drive to a secure location. Spend an evening there, discuss your plans to live with the undead, and talk about why you chose certain things. Add an extra touch of adventure by attempting to cook with your minimal supplies – improvise, adapt, and overcome!

In the Family Edition of Adventures From Scratch, you can find engaging activities for parents and children alike. We love this outdoor picnic idea – get every member of your family to pitch in for an outdoor picnic by putting together a picnic basket. Each member must contribute an item to the basket, be it helping out with a meal, putting together a toy, picking the picnic blanket, or carrying water. Once you reach the picnic spot, lay the picnic as your children help out. Enjoy the calming outdoors, play some games, and talk about which famous personality (alive or dead, fictional or real) you’d want to go on a picnic with. Customize this activity and let your children write letters or notes to these personalities – let the creative juices flow!

From writing each other love letters to mixing cocktails for each other, this interactive book has many in-home date night ideas to spark a connection. These adventures require minimal planning and are super engaging. 

For example, an activity called ‘Ridiculous Dress’ is the perfect way to have some fun with your bae. Pick out your partner’s clothes from their closet (or head to a nearby thrift store), and make it as funny and ridiculous as you can. In fact, you can incorporate your clothes and accessories into the outfit too. Take turns to dress each other up in silly, funny clothes and post for photos together. If you feel up for it, head out to a nearby café, park, or grocery store where you can show off your sense of fashion!

3. It Has On-The-Go Cards

Head out and enjoy the outdoors as you paint the city red, hand-in-hand with your partner. You can carry Adventures From Scratch wherever you go and pick an activity for just about any place. What’s more – this couple adventure book boasts a selection of on-the-go cards that you can use with your partner. Be it a hike, a walk to the park, a run to the nearby Walmart, or a road trip, there’s something always new on the cards here. These cards contain challenges, prompts, and a list of things to see and do while on the road.

We have a host of outdoor activities too. For instance, explore your neighborhood in a whole new way as you strap on some roller skates (you can rent them or buy them too!) Dress up in fancy skating costumes that are retro-themed and roll around the block. Zoom past the park as you race your partner, laughing out loud. If you’re unsure of roller skates, start with a bike ride at the nearby park, and then try skates during the next date. Too cold to roller skate? Why not try your hand at ice skating?

4. It Has Mailed Adventures Cards

Have a friend that loves collecting postcards? Want to go on a virtual double date with a couple of friends? Adventures From Scratch has your back. This book helps you stay in touch with your friends in fun new ways. You will find a collection of mail-in adventure postcards that you can tear off from the book. Customize each challenge, enter your friends’ address, and mail these cards.
