How to get the buzz back...

I remember when I first got together with my boyfriend, I'd get that buzzy feeling, and I felt like everything was exciting and fun, and the sex was out of this world.
Now, 2 years on, we're still very much in love, but we've found ourselves in the middle of the "comfy" zone, you know, don't really make an effort asides big occasions, most nights together we spend at home watching films and cooking (which is lovely, but not exactly riveting!), and we rarely get a romantic moment...He's very caring of me, but sometimes a little too much, its lovely, but sometimes I feel like he treats me like a china doll, which all considering what I've been through in previous relationships is understandable, but I'd love a bit of rough and tumble now and again!
We've been in a long distance relationship for the whole of the 2 years, and after next week I'll be less than an hour away from him, and we're intending on spending more time together, and hopefully less exhausted everytime we see each other...but I'm wondering what we could do to get that buzz back a bit? In relationship terms more than just sexually, because thats something else i've talked about in another post...
Thanks!

My ex and I once went on a date and pretended we were right back at the start of our relationship. He asked me out via text, didn't come home from work that evening and picked me up at 8 with some flowers. It felt a little bit silly but at the same time I found myself with butterflies in my tummy as I was getting ready - just like old times!
Yes, this. Some backhand slap play or throwing stuff at each other play usually brings me back from boringville. Not to mention the passive aggressive setting the others personal belongings on fire play. Gives the relationship some new spice.
anything else a little more...conducive to having a healthy relationship?
Im not saying the spice completely goes, but you do have to work at it more to keep things fresh and fun.
Im not sure about suggestions, because everyone likes different things.
Maybe a holiday, or having dates together?
Have yourself a POTW nomination for this.
