By the Fire is a private, personalized 1.5 hour adventure from the comfort of home.

It begins with a light story and hands-on activities. You’ll snack, pamper, play, and explore.

As the journey unfolds, you’ll unravel surprises, reconnect with old memories, gift each other words & actions, and create lasting keepsakes.

People often describe the adventure as joyful, surprising, and connective, like a picnic blended with an escape room and a hug.

By the Fire is right for you two if you like using your hands, heads, and hearts. You dabble in many hobbies, care deeply about your relationship, and tend to juggle just a bit too much.

Your partner has a big birthday or anniversary coming up. You want to give them something that’s an experience AND a gift, something that’s sentimental AND sophisticated, and something that honors everything in your heart.

By the Fire is a refusal to compromise.

It’s both an experience AND a physical gift. You’ll enjoy 1.5 hours of quality time together and leave with lasting keepsakes.

It’s both playful AND heartfelt. By starting from a place of play, it opens up space for you two to gift each other words and actions in a way that feels genuine, fresh, and safe.

Finally, it’s a gift you both give AND receive. You’ll not only put your fingerprints all over it but also get whisked away, alongside your partner. (Plus, if you’d like, we can involve your partner in the creation of it too.)

To start, By the Fire takes you back to the past. It reconnects you with your dearest memories and silliest inside jokes. In doing so, you’ll come to see your partner with new eyes. And they’ll see, through specific stories and details, how special and loved they are.

Next, By the Fire creates new memories in the present. You’ll be in a surprise together, playing and discovering in intentional ways. (Folks often point to a few climactic moments as ones they’ll never forget.)

Finally, By the Fire propels you forward into the future. You’ll leave with keepsakes that weave the extraordinary into your day-to-day.

We’ll create a questionnaire for you that gets you reflecting on your relationship in meaningful ways. We’ll craft questions and follow-up questions that get at the nuance and aliveness in your relationship.

Then, we’ll weave everything you share into a series of beautiful, whimsical, customized moments.

You’ll spend a few hours filling out the questionnaire, and we’ll spend 2-3x as long as that creating your gift so that it carries you down memory lane, brings out all that’s in your heart, and holds you with care throughout the journey.

(If you’d like, we can also craft a questionnaire for your partner, so you can both surprise each other.)

Since By the Fire is crafted just for you, we’ll want about 3-6 weeks to make the gift together.
