Do you remember that feeling you got when you and your partner first started dating? You probably had butterflies swarming around in your tummy as you laughed and enjoyed every second with your new boo.
Unfortunately, over time, that tingly, head-over-heels feeling goes away as you get more familiar with your partner and you start having to worry about adult things like bills or working overtime or maybe even kids. It suddenly gets harder and harder to get out of your routine and bring back that warm and fuzzy feeling you once had just by being the presence of your significant other.
Rest assured, losing that “spark” doesn’t mean your relationship is over. Many couples are going through exactly what you are and it’s totally normal. But, as you already know, bringing that excitement back is a lot easier said than done. And, it takes quite a bit of work and commitment to reignite the fire. Below, we’ve gathered a few of Amazon’s best-kept secrets that will help you rekindle your relationship so that you can reconnect with your better half.
Fall in love all over again with a creative, stay-at-home date night.
Although an extravagant night out might be your go-to date to impress your S/O and connect on a deeper level, a stay-at-home date is a much more intimate and creative way to get back that in-love feeling.
But, we also understand that creativity isn’t everyone’s strong suit. So, what do you do? Luckily, the DateBox Mini has your back. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like—a date in a box. With several different options to choose from, this clever little box includes fun games, snacks, and exercises to help you get closer than ever before with your partner. Not to mention, this box is pretty PG, so if you have kiddos at home, no need to worry.
“Having been married for 24 years I was a bit skeptical of the date night box,” says one reviewer. “My idea of date night is pizza and beer with my honey while watching the Warriors. Hmm, maybe that is why my wife recommended it. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It was a lot of fun and I would do it again (don’t tell my wife that she was right, please).”

Get outdoors and cozy up in a hammock.
Nothing says romance like snuggling up with bae alongside a few drinks and a lot of laughter. That’s why hammocking makes for the perfect date. If the weather’s nice, find a beautiful spot at a nearby park where you can watch the sunset, enjoy the breeze, and of course, spoon away with your lover in a cozy hammock.
If you don’t already have a hammock for two, Unigear offers a lightweight, durable, double hammock with tree straps designed to make setting up a breeze. And, with 442 reviews and a 4.8-star rating, everyone seems to be ranting and raving about this product.
One reviewer says, “My wife and I love this. We got it a while back when we were still dating (didn’t make her want to marry me though) and it holds up perfectly still. Combined we probably weigh around 300 (maybe a little more) and it’s still sturdy. I’d buy it again.”
