Promising review: “This is the softest blanket you’ll ever feel. It keeps you warm and does not overheat. It the the best throw/ accent blanket we have ever had for our living room, including our electric blankets (which can get you too warm and are not as soft). Wish we would have gotten the twin size, since everyone in the house (including the cat) like to use it. We’ll probably end up getting another one!” —Kristen Madrigal

A selection of McConnell’s ice creams (I am very partial to the “chocolate-covered strawberry” flavor, which is perfect for V Day)


McConnell’s

Attention ice cream manufacturers!! Make strawberry chocolate chip ice cream!! I tried this ice cream recently (all the flavors were excellent) but the chocolate covered strawberry, aka sweet cream and strawberry preserve ice cream with flecks of chocolate, was next level. It basically tastes exactly like a choc-cov strawb, but in frozen, creamy form.

Get them from McConnell’s Ice Cream for $12 each.

McConnell’s is a third-generation family-run (over 70 years!) ice cream shop in Santa Barbara, California, making all their flavors from scratch using milk from local, grass-grazed cows. Even the mix-ins (like the above strawberry preserves) are from scratch.

A Bearaby weighted blanket if they love their current one (or even have just been wanting to try one at all) but want something that won’t overheat them — and one that’s so cute, you’ll both want to keep it on display.

The white cotton knit blanket on a sofa


Bearaby

The large knit style is super chic, and the organic cotton is breathable (and there’s nothing in it to create the weight *other* than cotton, so no uncomfy glass beads). If you’re really worried about overheating, it also comes in a cooling version made out of Tencel. I have this in the cooling version (in the color “avocado”) and let’s just say I’ve used it quite a bit in recent times — I *love* it, and it’s actually extremely cute.

Get it from Bearaby for $249+ (available in three weights and nine colors).

Promising review: “I love this napper a little too much. I carry it up and down stairs all day as I move between the bed and couch for crafting, reading, etc. I like to grasp onto something when I sleep (usually the edge of the pillowcase), so the loops are awesome for tucking in my fingers and toes. Unlike another weighted blanket I own, the napper is stylish so I don’t mind if it’s out in the living room, and I can wash it, a huge deal given how often it’s used. It’s a bit of a pain to dry (it took three cycles in the dryer, so next time I am going to hand dry). The weight is very comforting, and I don’t have an issue with overheating, even using it in the middle of summer in a muggy climate.” —Madeline B.

Bearaby is a woman-owned brand making weighted blankets in sustainable materials. Free shipping takes 6-10 days, and “faster” shipping takes 2-5, but if you’re running low on time, you can also get a gift card for the exact value of a blanket.

7.

amazon.com, amazon.com

They’re each about the size of a tennis ball — and they won’t stain your tub, so you won’t have to scrub afterwards.

Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $24.97.

Promising review: “I have been using bath bombs for years. I’ve used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I’ve tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. During this COVID-19 outbreak, I have had a lot of stress and anxiety and have enjoyed a bath nearly every night for the past week. This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I’ve used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs. I will definitely purchase this box again when I run out and honestly it’s a great price at a little more than $2 a piece. You really can’t beat it!” —Heather H

Promising review: “These mini lippies are absolutely stunning!!!! The colors are very vibrant and bold! The red color is a gorgeous Christmas cherry color and the dark purple shade is a gorgeous bold purple plum color. They apply to your lips smoothly. Now if you have dry lips, I would apply a lip moisturizer first or balm. The finish is a velvety matte finish and it does not feel drying on my lips!! They are pretty small for the price but I feel that they are worth it with the discount! I just wish these came in full sizes!!! I am obsessed with the packaging!!!!” —China1990

An air fryer (from the makers of the INSTANT POT!!) so they can crisp up leftovers, make homemade versions of their favorite fried foods (without having to deal with hot oil), and more.


Hannah Loewentheil / BuzzFeed

Here’s what BuzzFeed Food writer Hannah Lowentheil has to say: “Friends of mine were raving about their new Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer, so after reading similar feedback on Amazon, I decided it looked like a winner. And it happens to be made by the same company that makes the crowd-favorite Instant Pot. I figured I would be using this appliance primarily as air air fryer, but as an added bonus, it can also roast, broil, bake, re-heat, and dehydrate food. It preheats quickly, it’s large enough to a good amount of food at once, it’s easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I’ve been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you’re cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don’t get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don’t mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there’s no oil involved in the cooking — just air. We also tried making sesame chicken in the air fryer using boneless skinless chicken thighs. The sesame chicken tasted almost identical to my favorite Chinese takeout, and it had nothing to do with my cooking skills. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn’t believe I made this at home!!”

Get it from Amazon for $99.99.

A Nutribullet with a full-size blender and two to-go blender cups for anyone who loves smoothies, hummus, soup, and other blended delicacies you don’t need to make A TON of at a time — but hates using extra dishes. AKA every single person. Their old blender wishes it could.

The blender set whipping up a smoothie


Amazon

It has both a regular large blender container, plus two travel cups for one less thing to clean.

Get it from Amazon for $139.99.

Promising review: “I’ve been using my NutriBullet every day, usually multiple times a day, to make smoothies using frozen fruit, frozen veggies, fresh veggies, and other ingredients. By using frozen ingredients I don’t need ice, just cold water. This thing works great. I had an older model for years. It still worked. But I wanted one with a faster motor. Everything has been improved since the last one I bought. It is so easy to use, and it is so easy to clean. It is noisy, but it’s so efficient that you don’t need to leave it on long. I love that when I press the ‘extract’ button it goes ahead and does its thing and a minute or so later I have a smoothie. I have only positive things to say about my NutriBullet. I gave the old one away and it’s still working for the person I gave it to.” —LaurieJay

Promising review: “These knives are great! They stay super sharp, they’re comfortable to hold, and I love how much counter space it leaves as opposed to a big bulky knife block. Fits perfectly in my minimalist kitchen!!! And it looks great on my counter being one of the few things that I keep on my countertop! It is the perfect amount of knives without being too many knives (I don’t like things in excess)! I have never had a cheese knife before, and this baby is my favorite one in the whole set! LOL! It slices through hard cheeses like butter! Have not tried on soft cheese, but I’m sure it’ll be great because it is super sharp! I can’t say enough about how much I love these knives!!” —Sadie Allen

Get it from Amazon for $10.70.

Promising review: “I love this book! Some of the recipes are complex and wouldn’t be great to try with smaller children — not all of them though.

The chocolate buttermilk sheet cake has become a family favorite that people request for their birthday cake (my mom calls it the Harry Potter cake).

Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $64.73.

Promising review: “A friend lent me his copy of the first movie with the making-of DVDs and I was gobsmacked, so I ordered my own set immediately.

I think it is interesting to note that one of my grandsons has developed an interest in art as a result of viewing the behind the scenes documentaries. Frodo Lives!” —Trivia Queen

Promising review: “Such a cute addition to any bar cart — especially for someone with an interest in chemistry! The etching/printing on the glass is clear and quality. I would probably hand wash just to avoid it coming off in the dishwasher but so far so good!” —Cait

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in three sizes and 16 colors).

Promising review: “Fast delivery! Beautiful, high quality product. The color and quality far exceeded my expectations, considering the reasonable price I had paid. The material is soft yet heavy, like a comfy cable-knit sweater. The blanket even comes with its own drawstring carrying bag, which will make it easy for my daughter to pack it for college. We washed it on the hand wash cycle in our washer, and it came out perfectly with no stretches or color running. At the risk of sounding like I work for their company, I believe this truly a gorgeous product that you will be very pleased with!” —LisaKay

Promising review: “We purchased this for my father-in-law, age 92, and wanted simplicity for him to be able to digitize his phonographs which is something he wanted to do. This was not only simple for him to use it also had GREAT SOUND. We were amazed. It really made the old phonographs some awesome. We thought we’d have to connect to external speakers to give it better sound (which the unit has connections for external speakers if you desire to do so)…but that was not necessary. The speakers delivered fine sound. We were very happy with this purchase. We will probably order one for ourselves. This 8 in 1 records to USB. We are very pleased.” —Janine

Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: “Oh my gosh, I love this! I got mine in the mail yesterday and ended up playing with it for about five hours last night LOL. It connects via Bluetooth so you can connect it to your phone — the music and your singing comes out of the microphone’s speaker. It has a volume control for your voice and for the music and also an echo feature. You can put an SD card into the bottom of it and record yourself, or connect it with an audio out to record on one of those karaoke apps on your phone. Between this and being able to find just about any song on karaoke via YouTube, you could easily have your own karaoke parties at home!” —Ferretocious

A foldable exercise bike with all the basic features they need if they don’t have space (and you don’t have the budget) for a Peloton but want access to a quick cardio workout at home.

Ok an exercise bike might not be a romantic gift for ~everyone~ (that one Peloton commercial much?) but if having an easy way to work out at home *is* on your loved one’s list, this bb is a great choice.

Get it from Amazon for $149.

Promising review: “The day I put a COVID-19 suspension on my gym membership, I researched affordable, maneuverable exercise bikes lest my knees get painful for lack of this daily exercise! It arrived in a large box (40 lbs) but this 70-year-old gal was able to easily drag into my house and unpack. The directions are a little hard to follow and I’m not ‘handy’ but I was able to add a little reasoning and put it together in less than an hour. Now sheltering in place for two weeks, this bike starts my day each morning. The mechanics and electronics work perfectly and help me set goals each day. It has variable tension settings, seat height options and a seat position for tall and for shorter people. I’m 5-foot-6 and selected the setting for a taller person. The seat height is on the fourth hole so you could drop for shorter biker. I have biked and binge-watched series, biked and worked off creeping anxiety as I watch the news and rolled it onto the deck on an unseasonably warm day to peddle to Led Zeppelin on my headphones. BEST purchase for the money that I’ve made in years; it’s a solid investment in both my physical and mental health!” —SG

I bought this bike just as the pandemic was starting last spring, and it was a *great* choice. I put it together in nooooo time flat, with the help of a handy YouTube video (as suggested by one of the reviewers). And the fold-up size is great, but the bike is sturdy and has great features for the price! I love the cushioned seat, which is muuuuuch comfier than most exercise bike seats I’ve sat on. My parents bought one after I did, and they’re both pedaling away all the time.

A pair of Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones so they can work out, get a snack, or ignore text messages from you while listening to their favorite playlist — all without being ~tied down~.

The headphones in black with text "designed for sound. tuned for emotion"


Amazon

I have these and use them just about every day at work — I like that they don’t overheat my ears, and sometimes I forget I’m in an open floor plan and just jam out with some ridiculous head-bobbing dancing.

Get them from Amazon for $139+ (available in nine colors).

Promising review: “These headphones are amazing! The sound is great and clear, they get loud, noise canceling when music is playing, basically noise canceling even when music isn’t playing. They are comfortable except after a few hours of constant use they start to hurt your ears but that is like any over ear headphones. The battery life also lasts soooo long, they are great headphones, I definitely recommend!” —Dixie Freeman

These also won best $$$ wireless headphones on BuzzFeed Reviews!

A DIY cross stitch kit so they can bring out their ~crafty~ side, one thread at a time.

The kit, which looks like three hanging plants when finished


Amazon

It comes with an embroidery hoop, thread, cotton aida with the pattern on it, needles, and instructions.

Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

Promising review: “Love it! This is one of those rare occasions in life where I feel like I got MORE than what I paid for. This kit is just about perfect. The only thing I would recommend you purchase in addition to it is either better needles, or a good needle threader. The eyes of the needles it comes with are a bit too small to thread three embroidery strands through, in my opinion. Otherwise, the kit is awesome. If you’re wondering, I didn’t embroider mine exactly as per the instructions. I had plenty of thread, but it does warn you that if you go rogue, you could run short.” —Addictedtoammmazzzon

A PhoneSoap sanitizer to kill 99.9% of germs on the toilet seat that is their phone (watching TikToks while pooping isn’t always the move). It fits almost all phone sizes, demolishes bacteria with UV rays, AND charges their device at the same time.


Amazon, amazon.com

Yes, the photo on the right IS from a reviewer who tested the bacteria levels on their daughter’s and husband’s phones before and after use. W O W.

Promising review: “I work in a large dental clinic with 50+ docs and even more assistants. Anyone who knows about dentistry knows that there are a lot of aerosols given out during almost every procedure. Since we don’t have a radio in the operatories, I’ve had to use my phone for music. Before phone soap I had to wipe my phone down every time with Cavicide wipes…not the best for your phone. Enter PhoneSoap! I’m able to sanitize my phone without destroying it with cavicide! We’ve even tested and swabbed the phone for cultures before and after…this sucker works! Hands down, great investment. I’ll be buying another one for the home because this one is staying in my office.” —James

Get it from Amazon for $79.95 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: “This has to be one of the best gifts for your favorite foodie. It’s excellent for so many different kitchen tasks. Makes a big shredding job easy as slicing bread. I’ve bought several of these for gifts and they were much appreciated. They come in many different colors. Easy to store and a very handy tool to have around for BBQs and Thanksgiving. Pretty much any time that you are working with a large cut of meat, beef, poultry, pork, even a melon, you name it, this is the tool you’ll want to reach for every time. Moving from pan to platter would otherwise be unmanageable and spell train wreck in many cases. Not so with these. You will not be disappointed!” —Angelonia

Promising review: “I was super nervous about purchasing, because I know pictures can sometimes be deceiving. It looks just like the photo, so glad I bought it! Wasn’t sure if medium would fit me, but you can wear the bottoms high rise (no adjustable pull strings) & the top has adjustable straps. Overall, cutest pajama set I’ve ever seen, satisfied & will definitely be purchasing more in the future.” —Luna Contreras
