Basically Dh and I are trying to re-connect following his cancer diagnosis last year, then treatment etc. We remained close during this tough time but weren't intimate in the fullest sense, we'd now like to get things back on track now that my husband is feeling more like his old self again. My in laws are having the children for a weekend so we can have some decent time together as it will be our 4th wedding anniversary and tbh last year I didn't think we'd make it. We can't afford a hotel or anything like that so we've said we'd like to have some nice baths and 'normal' couple time together. I'd like to buy a bath oil that smells lovely but not enormously relaxing, and also a candle for our bedroom, and something nice to massage with? We're both the type to get a bit shy around each other when it's been a while, if that makes sense but I always found we chatted and opened up a lot more whilst in the bath!
I figured a few nice touches that way would make it more special (we haven't had days to ourselves since we've been parents -10 years!) I can't afford too much but if anyone had any ideas that would be most helpful.
