Choosing an experience

What is Romanticize Collective?

An experience club for women that delivers original surprise experiences designed to transport you out of routine and into a new little world, making it easier to try something new. Each one includes an original guide and the core items to bring it to life.

What is the difference between Single and Signature?

Single includes one surprise experience each month for $19.99 plus $5.95 shipping. Signature includes four individually wrapped surprise experiences delivered together each month, giving you something new to open throughout the month, with free U.S. shipping.

What is Best of Box?

A one-time, gift-ready collection of four member favorites: A Second Light, Love You, Mean It, Make Nonna Proud and Early Dismissal. It's a one-time purchase, not a membership.

Which option is best if I am new?

Single is a lovely place to start if you want to try one surprise experience. Signature is best if you want something new to look forward to throughout the month. Best of Box is best for gifting or trying four favorites without a membership.

Are the experiences for one person?

Each experience is designed so one person can enjoy it on her own time. Many can also be shared with a friend, partner or family member.

How long does an experience take?

Most take 20 minutes to 1.5 hours. Follow the guide as written or make it your own.

How many experiences have been delivered?

More than 1,000, to members across the U.S.

Is Romanticize Collective worth it? Are there reviews?

Members rate it 5.0 stars, and more than 1,000 experiences have been opened. It's also backed by the Good Time Guarantee: if one experience isn't for you, tell us and we'll send you a different one free with your next delivery. One free swap per member.

How much does Romanticize Collective cost?

Single Experience is $19.99 plus $5.95 shipping. Signature Membership is $69.99 a month for four experiences, $64.99 a month on the six month plan and $59.99 a month on the annual plan, with free U.S. shipping. Best of Box is $69.99 one time plus $7.95 shipping.

What counts as an experience?

One complete activity, usually 20 minutes to an hour and a half. Examples we have shipped include making cavatelli pasta by hand, arranging flowers, flying a kite, pressing flowers, playing tourist in your own town, pouring a candle into a thrifted vessel, and taking yourself on a solo hot date. We have designed dozens of original experiences so far.

What arrives

What comes with each experience?

An original guide and the core items to bring the idea to life. Depending on the experience, you may also receive a quote card, playlist, recipe, prompts or another small detail.

What arrives, and will I need anything from home?

We include the core items that make the experience possible. Some experiences call for common household items or simple ingredients.

Are the experiences always the same?

No. Every month is different. One might invite you to make something by hand, another to explore, play, reflect or see an ordinary place differently.

Can I see examples of past experiences?

Yes. See How It Works and the past-experience archive. Past experiences are examples only and are not a promise of what a future delivery will include.

Timing and shipping

When will my membership order process?

Memberships bill on the 20th and ship the first week of the next month. Order by the 20th to get the following month's experiences.

When will my experience arrive?

Memberships generally arrive the first week of the following month. Best of Box and $25 experiences ship right away and arrive in 5 to 10 business days. Transit times are estimates.

How much is shipping?

Single and our $25 experiences are $5.95 ($7.95 once those items reach $60), and Best of Box is $7.95. Signature ships free in the U.S., and any U.S. order of $100+ ships free. Alaska and Hawaii are calculated at checkout. Ordering more than one thing? You pay one shipping rate, the highest in your bag, never one per item.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet. We currently ship within the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.

Can I track my order?

Yes. You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking when your order ships.

Memberships, billing and cancellation

When am I charged?

Your first payment is processed at checkout. After that, memberships bill monthly on the 20th. Best of Box, $25 experiences and eGift cards are one-time purchases, never a subscription.

Can I pause or cancel Single or monthly Signature?

Yes. Single and monthly Signature are flexible monthly plans: pause or cancel anytime online in your account before the 20th to stop the next charge.

If it does not land

What if I do not love an experience?

That's the Good Time Guarantee: not feeling one of your experiences? Tell us and we'll send you a different one free with your next delivery. One free swap per member. No return to ship back, no form to fill out. Email hello@romanticizecollective.com and say which one missed and why. The why matters. It's how the next one gets better.

Can I skip a month?

On Single and monthly Signature, yes: skip online in your account before the 20th and that month's charge and shipment are skipped. Six- and twelve-month Signature plans can't be skipped or paused during the commitment; once the commitment ends, they can skip, pause or cancel before the 20th too.

Can I cancel a six- or twelve-month Signature plan early?

Six- and twelve-month plans are commitments: you pay the discounted monthly rate on the 20th of each month for the full 6 or 12 months, and they can't be paused or canceled during that time (except where the law requires). After the commitment, the plan continues month to month at the same monthly price, billed on the 20th, and you can pause or cancel anytime before the 20th.

Do commitment plans charge the full amount upfront?

No. They bill monthly at the discounted rate for the length of the commitment.

Do memberships renew automatically?

Yes. Memberships continue until paused or canceled as your plan allows.

How do I manage my membership?

Sign in to your account to view your plan, update payment details, or pause or cancel when eligible. Need help? Email hello@romanticizecollective.com.

How we compare

What subscriptions for adults aren't just more stuff?

Experience clubs. Romanticize Collective sends an activity, not another product: each month you get original surprise experiences with a written guide and the specific items needed to do them. The items are tools for the experience, not the point of it.

How is Romanticize Collective different from other subscriptions?

Most subscriptions send you products. We send you something to do. Each experience is an original concept we designed, with a written guide and the specific items you need to complete it, from a wooden cavatelli board to a kite to a candle vessel. The items are tools for the experience, not the point of it. You are buying a night that is already planned, not a discounted bundle of goods.

Is Romanticize Collective like FabFitFun?

Not really. FabFitFun is a seasonal subscription of full-size beauty, wellness and lifestyle products you customize. Romanticize Collective sends experiences, things to do, each with a guide and the core items to bring it to life. Choose FabFitFun if you love discovering products, and us if you'd rather have an evening planned. See the full comparison.

How is it different from the subscriptions on Cratejoy?

Cratejoy is a marketplace where independent sellers list subscriptions for almost every interest, from books to snacks to crafts. Romanticize Collective is one brand with one point of view: original experiences designed and written by our founder, Aly Aguilar, in Los Angeles, and sold directly on our site.

How is it different from a craft kit or a date night subscription?

Craft kit subscriptions like Let's Make Art (watercolor) or Adults & Crafts (a monthly DIY project) go deep on one kind of making. Date night subscriptions like Crated with Love or DateBox Club plan activities for couples. Romanticize Collective changes it up every month across four pillars, reflect, explore, create and play, and each experience works on your own. You can invite a partner or friends, but you never have to.

Should I give an experience voucher (like Tinggly or ClassBento) or Romanticize Collective?

Experience-gift marketplaces like Tinggly, Virgin Experience Gifts (formerly Cloud 9 Living) and ClassBento sell vouchers and gift cards she redeems for an activity or class, often in person, that she books herself. They're great for one big outing. Romanticize Collective is the at-home version: nothing to book, no location required, and it arrives wrapped at her door. Best of Box is $69.99, and our eGift card arrives by email in minutes.

Gifting

Can I send an experience as a gift?

Yes. Best of Box and our $25 experiences ship right away, gift ready, with a gift message option at checkout. Holiday: order Best of Box or a $25 experience by Thu, Dec 10 for Christmas delivery (U.S.). Running late? An eGift card arrives instantly and never expires. You can also send an eGift Card and let them choose.

Can I gift a membership?

Yes. Enter their address at checkout. The purchaser manages the recurring billing and the plan.

How do eGift Cards work?

Choose an amount and it is delivered by email with instructions to redeem on any experience or membership.

What's a good last-minute gift for her?

A Romanticize Collective eGift card ($25 to $200). It arrives by email in minutes, and she picks the experiences she wants. If you have a few days, Best of Box or a $25 experience ships right away, gift ready.

Problems with an order

Can I return an experience?

Because experiences contain curated and time-sensitive pieces, all sales are final and we do not accept general returns or exchanges.

What if my order is damaged, incomplete or incorrect?

Email hello@romanticizecollective.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number and photos. We will review it and make it right with a replacement, missing item, store credit or other remedy.

What if tracking says delivered but I cannot find it?

Check with household members, neighbors, your mailroom and the carrier first. If it is still missing, email us with your order number.

IDEAS & INSPIRATION

Gift ideas and things to do, answered by our founder, Aly.

Gift ideas

What is a good experience gift for women?

Something she gets to do, not just own. Romanticize Collective mails original surprise experiences, like rolling pasta by hand, pouring a candle or writing love letters, with a guide and the core items to bring each one to life. Start at $19.99/mo, or give Best of Box, a one-time gift of four member favorites, for $69.99. More experience gift ideas.

What's a unique gift for a woman who has everything?

A plan. Most people who "have it all" are short on time, not things. An experience membership like Romanticize Collective gives her a surprise to open and something new to do every month, with no planning on her end. 25 more ideas.

Giving it as a gift? Our gifting guide has a printable note that says what's coming.

What's a thoughtful self-care gift that isn't a candle or a bath bomb?

Time that's already planned. A Romanticize Collective experience gives her a guided hour just for herself, whether that's pressing flowers or taking herself on a solo hot date. It's self-care she'll actually use, not another thing for the shelf.

What is a good birthday gift for her?

Something she'll use and remember, not just unwrap. Best of Box ($69.99) has four original experiences, gift ready. More ideas: 40 birthday gift ideas for her.

What's a unique gift for mom?

Time and a plan. An experience she doesn't have to organize, like Best of Box, gives her both. More ideas: 30 unique gifts for mom.

What are good Christmas gift ideas for women?

Experiences, hobby kits and time together. Order Best of Box or a $25 experience by Dec 10 for Christmas delivery (U.S.); start a membership by November 20 for December's experiences; the eGift card arrives instantly. More: 35 Christmas gift ideas for women.

Things to do

What is whimsymaxing?

Whimsymaxing (also "whimsy-maxxing") means deliberately adding as much small, playful joy to ordinary days as you can: a picnic on a Tuesday, a kite in the park, a candlelit dinner for one. Romanticize Collective turns it into a habit by mailing a new whimsical experience every month, fully planned. 30 ways to try it.

How do I romanticize my life when I'm busy?

Put the joy on the calendar and take the planning off your plate. That's the idea behind Romanticize Collective: we design the experience, write the guide and send the core items, so you just open it and show up. It takes 20 to 90 minutes.

What are fun things to do at home when you're bored?

Hands-on, slightly unexpected things: rolling cavatelli, pressing flowers, writing a real letter, pouring a candle, a solo hot date. If you'd rather not plan it yourself, Romanticize Collective mails one of these, with the guide and the core items, every month. 50 ideas.

What are good date night ideas at home that aren't Netflix?

Make something together. Hand-rolled pasta, a candle pour or a letter-writing night all work. Romanticize Collective's Signature Membership sends four experiences a month, and any one of them can become date night. From $59.99/mo with free U.S. shipping. 30 date night ideas.

What are good hobbies to try for women in their 30s?

Low-pressure, analog ones: pasta making, candle pouring, flower pressing, letter writing, kite flying. Romanticize Collective lets you sample a new one every month without buying a pile of supplies first.

More: 35 hobbies for women.

What are some self care ideas for women?

Pick things with a small win: roll pasta, pour a candle, press flowers, write a letter. More: 50 self care ideas.

What are fun girls night ideas at home?

Give the night one activity: a pasta night, candle pouring or a letter-writing night. More: 40 girls night ideas.

★★★★★ 5.0 · Over 1,000 experiences delivered and enjoyed

  • I’ve done things I never would have planned for myself, like making chocolates from scratch and flying a kite like my 8-year-old self again. Every month is completely different and gives me a reason to try something new.

    Emily R. · member

    Danielle C. · member
  • Truly eye-opening. It made me realize how little time I spend appreciating the simple, wonderful things in life that really matter. This is something truly special.
