2. This smoke-free outdoor fire pit

Take your typical happy hour to the backyard with this lightweight and portable fire pit. It produces so little smoke and burns so well that you only need to discard the ash once you’re through for the night, and you’ll walk away smelling anything but a smoky campsite. You can use the cult-favorite Solo Stove both to keep warm or cook up some s’mores or roasted marshmallows. Reviewers love how it requires virtually zero setup or handling of heavy logs.

5. The best meal kit we’ve ever tested

While a great-tasting meal is certainly the goal, making the actual meal is also worth celebrating. Instead of ordering takeout for the seventh time this week, roll up your sleeves and get cooking together with Home Chef, our top-rated meal kit. Our reviewer says it breaks down intimidating cooking techniques into accessible steps and features beautifully written recipes, like the Farmhouse Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes, Green Onion Gravy, and Corn, that comes out tasting equally restaurant-worthy. The service is also ideal for vegans and vegetarians, and you have the option of swapping out different proteins.

6. This award-winning board game for word nerds

A little friendly competition never hurts anyone—and in fact, it may bring you two closer together. Bananagrams, a neat little board game that comes in a banana-shaped pouch, is best described as a DIY version of Scrabble. All you have to do is form your own board of connected words and whoever finishes their 21 letters first wins the game. It’s easy to play everywhere and anywhere, and it’s an enjoyable way to keep your mind sharp. One of the 15,000 reviews says, “Everybody loves playing it and ends up spending hours at a time! It helps you learn new words, and while not exactly Scrabble, knowing a bunch of two-letter words comes in handy when you're trying to win!”

8. This Leesa mattress topper

We spend approximately a third of our lives in bed, and if you’re coupled up, that means a whole lot of time in the same breathing space as another snoring and/or fidgeting human being. If you’re looking to switch up your sleeping situation so your bed feels plusher without purchasing an entirely new mattress, you’ll love the Leesa mattress topper made of two inches of high-quality foam. Leesa is our upgraded pick in our roundup of the best mattresses and you can ensure the topper is just as luxurious.

9. This durable Schwinn tandem bike

It’s no secret that going for a bike ride with your S.O. is a great way to get your heart pumping while experiencing the benefits of fresh air. However, if one of you tends to bike faster than the other, it can quickly devolve into a solo bike ride. Practice the most socially acceptable form of co-dependency with this uber-cute tandem bike from Schwinn that features seven speeds and responsive alloy caliper brakes. It allows you to pedal at twice the speed, or you can alternate between pedaling and scoping out the scenery.

As Amazon’s top-selling tandem bike, reviewers say it’s a fantastic value: “Excellent, excellent tandem bike for the money, as echoed by many other Amazon purchasers. I have been riding and building bikes for over 40 years, so I know what I am talking about. What most impressed me was the quality of the aluminum frame, which alone is worth the cost of the entire bike based on other brand-name bikes I have purchased over the years. The frame is lightweight, stiff, and strong.”

10. This professional-grade camera for beginners

If the last photo you took of your partner was a silly candid shot of them with food in their teeth, you might want to memorialize more memories you can both be proud of. Take your partner out to your favorite setting in your hometown for a proper photoshoot with the Nikon D3500 DSLR Video Camera. It’s our experts’ favorite camera for beginners for its portable and compact frame and kit lens.

Get to know your partner on an even deeper level with this best-selling card game that features 200 intimate and thought-provoking questions like “What experience in your life do you wish your significant other could have witnessed to better understand you?” and “If you had a dance move named after you, what would it be, and what would it look like?”

The game is designed to be gender- and orientation-inclusive and virtually any couple at any stage in the relationship can benefit from it. “My wife and I are in our early thirties and have been married for almost 10 years,” says one reviewer. “After going through about 20 cards in the first few days of receiving the game, we have learned more new things about each other than we had in the last year or two,”

12. This at-home paint night kit

If you miss going to paint night at your local pub, bring the painting party to your home.

It’s similar to paint by numbers and is much easier than freeform painting.

“Bought this for an anniversary gift,” says one customer. “I am artistic, my husband not so much. But you don't have to be artistic in any way to be successful with this project. My husband did his the way he wanted and I did mine. Both are being framed to hang in our bedroom. Love it and had lots of fun doing it together.”
