Lauren and Arie Luyendyk Jr. fell in love on The Bachelor, traveling the world together and enjoying luxurious, next-level date setups. After their season ended, they continued that momentum, embarking on unique adventures, which strengthened their bond as a couple. Lauren recalled, "When we first got off the show we traveled a lot and experienced so many things as a couple. Life slowed down when Alessi arrived but we have honestly never stopped making time to date. I think we need that as a couple!"

Arie added, "I think many parents like us find it difficult to make time for each other. We make dating a priority because if we are in a good place then every other aspect of our family life is better as well."

If you want to follow their lead and make dating a priority, Arie and Lauren have made things easy for you. They created an app called DUO, which stands for Dates Unlike Others. Arie said, "DUO is designed to give couples 'datespiration' through our hundreds of date ideas."

You may feel like you got a date card on The Bachelor with DUO's next level of membership. Arie explained, "One step further, we offer 'surprise dates' to our premium members. These dates are planned and coordinated by our date planners to give a unique date experience. Couples will arrive at locations without knowing what's in store until they arrive! We wanted to give our dating experiences on reality tv back to everyday couples!"

In an exclusive E! interview, Arie and Lauren shared their affordable date night must-haves for every scenario, including picnics, beach days, spa dates, and cozy nights at home.

E!: What's a date night must-have under $25 that you would recommend?
AL: We have a lot of "datespiration" on the DUO App that don't require a big budget! Some of our favorites include sunset/sunrise lookouts as well as picnic options, depending on your area.

Some of the more unique ones are "Jaws in the pool" where you would inflate a blow up mattress and float in a pool or lake while watching Jaws on an iPad. Another off the wall one is "few of my favorite things" where you customize your date based on all your partner's favorite foods, games, you name it. With this date, thoughtfulness goes a long way!

E!: If you're planning a beach date, what would you bring?
LL: Picnic basket with drinks and snack, towels, umbrella, card games, beach toys, Bluetooth speaker. It's a simple date but could be made even more romantic if you bring a journal to write down some of the goals or dreams you'd like to accomplish as a couple.

Arie shared, "We love this picnic basket and small table."

These chic towels are perfect for a beach day or picnic. They're sand-resistant, quick-drying, and easy to transport since they come with a matching carrying case. These towels have 4,600+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

E!: Do you recommend any must-haves for a long-distance couple for a virtual date night?
LL: You have our wheels turning with this one! We haven't put much thought into this, but yes there are tons of things you can do. I think the must haves would definitely be a strong internet connection and setting up a good atmosphere for your video calls. For activities,  you could play games, create bucket lists together, watch movies at the same time or even take a cooking class and see whose meal turned out the best.

E!: What are some date night essentials for a night in?
AL: With any date it's about knowing your partner and making it thoughtful. If they like games, a certain type of dish for dinner or maybe they are more adventurous and would like to do a scavenger hunt. It's all about effort really

E!: Arie, what is your favorite date that Lauren has planned for the two of you?

E!: Lauren, what's your favorite date that Arie has planned?
LL: Arie took me paddle boarding at sunrise! We went down the salt river and there were wild horses playing in the water, it was amazing!
