You can also go back and look at your old goals and read stories about how you accomplished it and how it was. My goal is to pull it out on every anniversary and write new goals down. Something small, but also cool." —Amazon Customer

4. A love language card game for enhancing your anniversary activities, or for playing on the reg. These clever cards are gonna remind every couple, no matter how long you've been together, that learning about your loved one is still full of fun and games.
I bought this after putting it in several posts and constantly reading the reviews it had. I've been married for 10 years and I've known my husband since elementary school, so we definitely feel like we've heard just about every story from each other's lives. These cards proved us wrong! I can honestly say I've learned more about my husband, and myself, by answering the thoughtful questions on these cards. It's also a genuinely fun way to spend a road trip or night in.
Promising review: "I wanted to find some ways to get to know my boyfriend better as I’ve asked every question I could possible think of, LOL. I didn’t look at a single card before we played and it really helped further strengthen our relationship. The different categories make sure you leave no part of your significant other's life unturned! I highly recommend!" —Braxton

Promising review: "My fiancé and I celebrated our six year anniversary on March 24, so I decided to get this as a gift for him. He loves it, and I love it too! We are very close, and it was so fun to be able to experience the mystery of the next truth or dare question. We know so much about each other, but this game really opened new doors to us becoming closer in other ways. I would definitely recommend it. Also, the size is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, which is great for discretion. We can easily travel with this product." —Ro

7. A two-person sleeping bag that'll be the coziest way to convince your city-slicker sweetheart to finally go camping with you.
Promising review: "This sleeping bag is really cool. It’s wide and long enough to fit two adults! There’s actually a zipper on each side so you can get out on either side and a hook and loop bar on the top of each zipper to keep you zipped in. It’s a really good quality fabric. It even came with two pillows. I was really impressed to find a high quality sleeping bag like this and it makes me feel more comfortable knowing that I can starfish and spread out in a big sleeping bag instead of feeling claustrophobic in a regular one. Try this out! It’s cool and honestly really good quality." —Salty Jabberswirl

Promising review: "I got this candle for myself to try out before I sent it as a gift. The presentation is flawless, with a nice-looking box, and the weight of the candle is impressive. I put it on my table and didn't even light it, and still, the fragrance was apparent without being overpowering. I highly recommend this candle for a great gift and for yourself when you want something special. This is my own personal review, and I didn't get this for free. I just really like it." —suzy myrs

13. An LED flat plate is gonna help them read far into the night without disturbing you, the morning person they married.
Promising review: "LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It’s not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don’t have to move it up and down while reading." —Flora

Promising review: "I absolutely love my little teapot. I use it on the stovetop ever morning and it is perfect. I have had mine about three weeks now and it’s doing amazing. I love using the hot water first for my morning matcha, then I add the loose tea to the remainder of the hot water for my afternoon tea. It’s perfect for me and despite being worried about putting it on the burner at first, it turns out it’s nothing to be worried about at all. It works and looks super cute!" —Amazon Customer
