A Gift of Conversation
Friday, November 30, 2007
Here is the perfect gift idea for the hostesses of all of those festive holiday parties you will attend this Christmas season.... The Christmas Box of Questions from The Box Girls.
This adorable box full of thought provoking conversation starting questions is perfect to help party-goers connect with friends and family-members in a fun way. With questions like, "What is the best thing that happened to you since last Christmas?" and "What songs are on Santa's Ipod this Christmas?" you are bound to have some good times!
Let me introduce you to The Box Girls ~ CeCe and Heidi are two moms who were desperate to prevent serious meltdowns at the dinner table while trying to manage their six kiddos and two hungry husbands. They created several different occasion boxes, besides The Christmas Box, from which to choose. And, from what I hear, these fun Boxes are linked to celebs like Demi Moore, Madonna, and Eva Longoria. It’s a sassy alternative to bring to the hostess of your next party, or holiday dinner.
Fun Tip: Right now The Box Girls are offering all From Dates to Diapers readers a 20% discount with the coupon code: FDTD20. How cool is that?
WIN IT! Would you like to win one of TWO Christmas Box of Questions, from The Box Girls, for someone on your shopping list? Visit The Box Girls, then leave a comment here telling me which of the nine themes you would most enjoy, and why. The winners will be selected randomly at midday on December 5th. Good luck!
I would love if you could help spread the word about The Box Girls, and this giveaway, however it is not a requirement to win.

After checking out their site...I really love all the themes! But I guess if I had to pick favorites, they would be Family Dinner and Christmas! This would be so great to have when all the family gets together! Thanks for the awesome chance to win a set!

How neat. I think the Slumber Party would be great for my neice and the Christmas one for family gatherings.
November 30, 2007 7:06 PM
Definitely Girl's Night! I have the best group of girlfriends and this would really make for some even MORE interesting conversation when we all get together.

My favorites are the Girls Night Out or the Girlfriends boxes though the Slumber Party one would be a great gift for my niece! Either way I'd love to win!

Family Dinner for at home and Girlfriends for the very, very rare nights out with friends...
I love the Christmas and Hanukkah ones, too!

They are all so cute. I think I would get the slumber party one first though. My daughters would enjoy it!
December 1, 2007 8:33 PM
The Family Dinner theme is my favorite; my family is growing (I'm due with #2 in two weeks!!) and we always eat dinner together, something that I hope never changes.
December 1, 2007 9:00 PM
these are cool! But I thik I like the family dinner the best!
December 1, 2007 9:17 PM
The Family Dinner!!! Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, our entire (and I do mean ENTIRE) family joins together for dinner and GAMES! This would be a fun addition! We love trying out new games!!!
December 1, 2007 9:37 PM
Family Dinner would be our choice...anything to help get folks talking and sharing!
December 1, 2007 10:16 PM
My girlfriends and I are trying to do girl's night on a more regular basis. The Girlfriends Box would be so much fun to include at our get-togethers.
December 1, 2007 10:19 PM
My MIL says I never have anything to say when we get together, so I think it would be a riot to whip out Family Dinner the next time we get together. And Slumber Party would be great for my daughters when they have friends over. :)
December 1, 2007 10:35 PM
These are super cool! I would love the girls' night or the family one but any would be wonderful to get.
December 1, 2007 11:15 PM
slumber party or family
December 1, 2007 11:59 PM
family dinner
December 2, 2007 12:17 AM
For me, it's a toss up between Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Family Dinner. What a great giveaway!
December 2, 2007 5:23 AM
I would say the Family Dinner box would be my pick. It sure would bring the family together. Great idea and giveaway.
Thanks,

December 2, 2007 5:38 AM
What fun! I think I like Family dinner the best! Though Girls Night out looks like fun as well!
December 2, 2007 5:42 AM
I love the family dinner set!
December 2, 2007 6:06 AM
I'd like to try the Family Dinner set before any of the others.
Please randomly select me!
December 2, 2007 6:13 AM
I would have to choose the Family Dinner box. Eating together as a family is very important to us....this would keep us from talking about work and current events so much! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
December 2, 2007 7:23 AM
I like the Family Dinner Box. Ending the day with food and family around the dinner table is priceless. Thanks for the contest - stephanie@metropolitanmama.net.
December 2, 2007 8:16 AM
I like the family dinner one
December 2, 2007 8:17 AM
I love the idea of the Family Dinner box but I also really like the christmas box.
December 2, 2007 8:27 AM
I think the Family Dinner one would be so great - it's such a special time!
December 2, 2007 8:30 AM
Wow, you are just a rockin' contest mama! LOL I love all your contests, even though I haven't won.
I would get the Girlfriends box because we do a ladies night at our church, and it needs to be clean fun. We enjoy doing get to know you questions there, it is sort of a tradition with our group.
December 2, 2007 8:34 AM
Family Dinner=) Between my dh's and I's 2 jobs, this will definitely be a treasured event this year.
December 2, 2007 9:52 AM
Family dinner to play with my in-laws to get to know them better.
Me please!

I would love the Girls Night Out Box ~ How FUN!!
Thanks so much!!
December 2, 2007 12:16 PM
It's hard to choose. I like the Christmas one because it's the season, but the family dinner one would be wonderful for year round. I like both of these because they can be used with family both young and old, and would be great for bringing everyone together and participating in learning more about one another.
December 2, 2007 12:20 PM
ohhhhh slumber party111
December 2, 2007 12:29 PM
I'd most enjoy the "Family Dinner" question set. Often, once we've discussed our days, we fall into silence not knowing what to talk about next. This deck would have a lot of good conversation starters for us.
December 2, 2007 1:37 PM
girls night....hands down. that's what I need the most right now....
December 2, 2007 2:50 PM
It would have to be Family Dinner for us, but I really love this idea...what a great way to spend some time together as a family...they say family dinners are great for kids...I am going to remember this as gifts!!! I'd love to try it out! Thanks...

December 2, 2007 4:46 PM
I like both the family dinner and the Christmas ones.
December 2, 2007 7:36 PM
girls night out!! Thanks for the great giveaway!
December 2, 2007 7:46 PM
I love The Box Girls! I love the girls night out and Thanksgiving boxes the best. They all rock!
December 2, 2007 8:09 PM
The Family Dinner one sounds interesting.
Count me in please!

I think I'd like Family Dinner. I like the Christmas one second best, I think. They are all neat!!
December 2, 2007 11:28 PM
Thanksgiving and family dinner sound neat!
December 3, 2007 12:26 AM
That's tough! I either like the Girlfriends or Girls Night Out! Both sould like they'd involve a good laugh! Although the Family Dinner one sounds interesting.

I would like to have the Thanksgiving set...it seems that my family and I always run out of stuff to talk about that day!
December 3, 2007 5:14 AM
I'd like the family dinner set...it seems like you could use those questions with a wide variety of family and friends! The Christmas set also looks like fun.

I like the family dinner set- it's an all occasion set! I also like the Girlfriends set!
December 3, 2007 10:06 AM
Oh, I love them ALL! But, I would say the girlfriends or christmas ones would be at the top of my list! I may just have to order some for Christmas gifts! Thanks for sharing this website & for the chance to win! Happy December!

i think the christmas theme would make parties a blast!
December 3, 2007 12:32 PM
I would love the Family Dinner box to start good conversation at the table each night! The Christmas one would be awesome, too!
December 3, 2007 2:59 PM
Hi, these seem all nice, maybe I would prefer then Passover's conversation ideas.
December 3, 2007 5:29 PM
Love the 'Girlfriend's' box! :)
December 3, 2007 7:36 PM
I really like the family dinner box. It would be a great tool for us as a family to help us connect and communicate during dinner.
Thanks for another great giveaway!
December 3, 2007 9:55 PM

We enjoy playing games as a family so the Family Dinner Box would be great. Thanks for the fun giveaway.
December 4, 2007 6:52 AM
only for the lack of a sports box, let's say the christmas box!
December 4, 2007 6:57 AM
Christmas is my favorite season...I really like that theme!
December 4, 2007 10:01 AM
my favorite is the slumber party or the Christmas box :)
December 4, 2007 10:56 AM
The family dinners or the girlfriends looks like fun.
December 4, 2007 3:25 PM
Family dinner, for nights when Mom and Dad have fried brains but still want everyone to have a pleasant chat. :)
December 4, 2007 8:39 PM
Thanksgiving, Recycled - because just last month I was looking for "conversation starters" to take with me to the Family Thanksgiving Dinner. I'm REALLY WHISHING I'd done it too, our whole meal focused on two topics (cancer / family members leaving "church" and being damned)... it was VERY depressing... we really could have used some conversation starters about all we have to be grateful for!
Suzy :D
December 5, 2007 3:21 PM
Wow its hard yo pick. I think I'd choose the Christmas one...great way to start good conversations!!!
