    Amazon

    I bought this after putting it in several posts and constantly reading the reviews it had. I've been married for 11 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

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in two decks).

    This game includes 50 scandalous dare cards and 50 juicy truths.

    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

    8. A teak bath caddy so they can fit everything they might need during a (1, 2, 3 hour?) bath. Sometimes anniversaries are best spent with a bunch of bubbles and a good book.

    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

    15. 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

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).

    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

    This comes with geodes, goggles, and a display stand.

    Promising review: "If you are considering this for your kiddo, please buy! My 8-year-old and I had an absoloute blast! She loves every geode. There was one we got that was more solid and she couldn't get it open, so I got to smack it with the hammer and honestly it was not only stress-relieving, but it was also fun and beautiful! Would be great as a positive outlet for stress or just for kids who love sparkly things. I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could!" —Mandii Vi

    Looking for a version of your favorite game? WS Game Company has a great selection of these brilliant "books!"

    Promising review: "These have adorable vintage designs! Sturdy pieces. The board is ripping a bit but we’ve played this dozens of times with our toddler so I suppose that’s expected. Definitely more pricey than the cheap version you could get for $10 at any big store but honestly it’s worth it to me. It lasts so much longer and it's easier to store. Having it in our front room on the bookshelf makes it easily accessible and blends in with our other books." —Spooky Hobbit
