The Kindness Challenge – Couples Edition | 12 Scratch-Off Cards with Fun & Sweet Acts of Kindness for Partners

I loved this idea as soon as I saw it! It comes with 30 cards that are separated into categories for family, friends, and strangers. It also has a title on each card to give you a hint about what the challenge is, and a key that explains about how much it will cost, how much time it will take, and a rating of how far out of your comfort zone it will take you.The first challenge I completed was a perfect idea for a way to surprise some of my family members and hopefully put a smile on their faces. I am hoping to complete all of these challenges throughout the holiday season and get some of my friends and families members involved to try to spread the kindness. This would be an amazing gift for people who are looking lift up their own spirits and someone else's.

This card deck is a fun way to make it a point to put some effort into your relationship. The cards are of medium card stock thickness with a glossy finish in both sides. We simply drew our cards evenly and chose 1 card to scratch off every other day. I found that these are pretty basic “honey-do” suggestions such as “breakfast in bed” and “write an appreciation letter to yoyr partner with a small gift.” This would be a fun way for young adults or newlywed to use. But for the seasoned, older couples, we need more help than just this! 😉

These kindness cards are a nice way to bring more self-care into your life. With 12 challenges, they will work well for a year-long journey—I plan to scratch off one per month next year. The cards are playing card-sized with a scratch off surface, and while they don’t come with direct instructions, the QR code makes it easy to understand the graphics.Each card offers a hint at the top (like Dear Future Me or Clear It Out), an estimated cost (ranging from free to $50+), a time commitment (most under an hour), and a “comfort zone” rating (1-3 darts). There’s a good mix of options: six challenges are free, and most take under an hour, so it’s easy to fit into a busy schedule. This is a creative and fun way to practice self-kindness, at a little over $1 per card. (The set was $12.99 at the time of this writing.)

I'm a big fan of this style of games (I love Sneaky Cards too).I recently purchased the Adventure Challenge Couples Edition book, which is a lot of fun to explore with my spouse. These cards are a great supplement for solo challenges.The cards themselves are nicely printed on good stock. The scratch-off ink doesn't rub off on your fingers and scratches off easily to reveal your challenge.I love that each challenge gives you a cost and time estimate so you can pick one that fits your current resources before revealing it.My only small nitpick is that the top card had a little of the scratch off rubbed off when I opened the pack. Otherwise, no complaints at all - 5/5.***edit***Couples Edition - same review as above, but not scratches on the top card. Great product. Also 5/5. (The system won't allow me to post a separate review)

What a great idea for including more self-kindness in your life! With 12 ideas, I plan on scratching off 1 per month to incorporate more self-kindness in my life next year. The cards are similar in size/shape/thickness to regular playing cards. They come with no instructions, but there's a QR code to scan to decipher the graphics. Each has a little hint at the top, such as: Dear future me, It's about time, Culinary culture, Recharge, You're Tripping, Clear it out, etc. At the bottom it shows an approximate cost: Free, under $25, $25-$50 or over $50. Six challenges are free. Two are under $25. One is $25-50. Three are $50+. It also shows about how long the challenge will take, with most being 0-1hr, but two 1-2hrs, and one 2-3hrs, and one 3+hours. Finally, it shows 1-3 darts, indicating how far out of your comfort zone the challenge is likely to be. Most are unlikely to take you out of your comfort zone. Five MAY be out of your comfort zone and one will probably be out of your comfort zone. Overall, a decent product. I just took off 1 star due to the price.

This is a really cute idea, help get outside your comfort zone with different ideas on completing self-care. Each card shows a topic, budget, time commitment and how far outside your comfort zone it may be before you scratch it off. Grab a coin, scratch it off and complete! Would be a great stocking stuffer, or a small gift to treat yourself! You are supporting a small business and each sale contributes toward the food insecure. They have several different versions as well, for example for couples to do together. The cards are well made and of high quality. You won’t be disappointed with this purchase.

Each card has a sweet or thoughtful task you can do to make them feel special. The scratch-off part makes it more exciting. The cards are well-designed and easy to use, making them a nice gift for other couples too. It’s a simple and enjoyable way to grow closer and bring more happiness to your relationship.

The Kindness Challenge Self-Care cards are good quality, about the same thickness as and slightly wider than standard playing cards. The scratch off windows aren't difficult to remove and don't take any printing with them. As typical of these types of things, they do shed little particles everywhere though.The cards offer good reminders to take time to care for yourself, but I'm not sure they’re worth the list price of $12.99 for 12 cards. Particularly since the packet is a standard trading card type that isn't reusable, so there's no means to store or contain the cards, which makes the likelihood of me losing them before completion is unfortunately high.
