This is a really cute idea. There are 52 cards, and each one has a great idea for a cheap date. Most of them are fun & creative, and also inexpensive. A couple are a bit unrealistic (take $10 each and get on the Amtrak - take it as far as you can go, roundtrip, for $10 each... I don't know WHERE Amtrak would take anyone for $5 each way!)

And some are just too vague, but most of them are good ideas.

Here are a few:

visit a petting zoo
find a deserted field at night, lay out on some blankets and watch the stars -- then tell spooky stories till you're both so scared you have to find civilization.
dress up and go to a cheap diner for dinner

Most of them are things one would NEVER think of doing on a date, and that's the real charm of these little cards.

The cards are printed on very heavy cardstock and they're nicely illustrated.

These cards supply a wide range of ideas to remedy the "What do you want to do tonight?" syndrome. Some dates may seem a bit corny or embarrassing, but you'll laugh about it later

I was expecting a lot more when I bought this product - I was hoping for more specific date ideas related to the city where I bought the cards. Or even free/cheap events in different cities. I would have even been happy with unique mini-games you could play with outlined instructions (that made sense)... instead of "go to a thrift store and buy a crazy pair of pants". The ideas are pretty lame overall, especially if you are already in a relationship and are looking for unique, new, fun things to do. For a very, very cheap first date, this isn't such a bad buy (but only if you can find it for 50% off).

These cards are kind of like someone sitting down and brainstorming in about two minutes to come up with some of the stupidest repetitive ideas ever. Your better off doing it on your own.
