Promising review: "We got this for my boyfriend's birthday so we could watch movies on our patio and it did not disappoint. The sound is a little quiet but there are cords already included to connect a soundbar or speaker to increase the output. I was really surprised by how easy it was to set it up and got the perfect picture on my first try. I really like how we could just plug our Amazon Fire Stick into it and get going. The screen was super easy to put up and down and even included command-like strips for the perfect picture. We are really excited to continue using this!!" —Amy Donar

Highly recommend!" —Holly

Promising review: "This comforter is what we’ve always needed. My husband and I are always tangled in blankets because I need more but yet they always end up on his side. This comforter provides an all-in-one solution that keeps me warm and him cool and our bedroom looking calm and zen." —Hannah

You can even mark the date you opened it on the top of the stopper!
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer has firsthand experience saving her bubbly. In her own words:
"This little bb is so easy to use — just pop it on top of the bottle, push the metal sides in so it clamps on, then push the top button several times to vacuum seal and preserve the bubs. Then when you next want a glass, spritz, or mimosa, you'll hear that same *POP* you heard when first taking out the cork — and the effervescence you so crave will be fully intact. Plus, you can confidently store your leftover bottle on its side in your fridge; I've had zero leakage problems with this thus far!"

I followed someone else's advice here of turning the sheet inside out, putting the fasteners on, then putting the sheet on the mattress. Made them very easy to use." —Jayne Voyt

Get a pair from Uncommon Goods for $198.

Number of players: 1–4
Promising review: "A purchase that resulted in my wife and I buying another five of the Exit games. The linear and compartmentalized riddles in this one makes it a great intro to the series. Exit games are great at encouraging out-of-the-box thinking and having each riddle being self-contained prevents some of the overwhelming nature of having pieces to puzzles that haven't shown up yet." —TheBowTieBandit
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
17. A plug-in Wi-Fi extender that'll eliminate internet dead zones and put an end to constant scheduling battles over who gets to take over the only room with a strong enough internet connection for streams, downloads, and video chats. Now you both can enjoy comfortable internet speeds from any corner of your home.
Promising review: "This is a great product. We live in an old farmhouse and even though we have the fastest and highest internet service, we just couldn't get the signal throughout the entire house, or even our upstairs. But once we plugged in this range extender, we now have our 5G throughout the entire house and even the garage! It was super easy to install. No hassles. Easy to follow instructions." —Jennifer

19. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner to make regular upkeep and soap scum prevention so easy, its not even worth arguing over whose turn it is. Once a week, simply give the shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse, and — BOOM — you're done and didn't even break a sweat.
Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ
Get it from Amazon for $18.61+ (available in two scents).
20. A portable date bucket list kit if you're low on creative date ideas, or just struggle with indecisiveness as a couple. This cute container is filled with prompts ranging from romantic to riveting, and includes a pencil so you can mark the stick with the day the date was completed!

MeUndies solved a problem I didn't even know I had. It almost makes me mad, because I was perfectly happy with most of my old underwear until I tried a pair of MeUndies and realized, after my first day wearing them, that I had not had to pick a single wedgie or adjust my underwear at all. Something that is so subconsciously a part of my every day just wasn't there with MeUndies underwear. It was kind of magical. And then I promptly gifted a subscription to my boyfriend, who echoed my exact eureka moment back at me. Now I'm passionate these underwear in a way that I really never saw coming.
Get two pairs from MeUndies for $31+ (subscribe and save 30% on each order).
22. A contoured sleep mask for anyone whose ever been kept up by the flickering lights of their partner watching TV long past your ideal bedtime. The concave shape effectively blocks out light, and the adjustable strap helps you get a comfy, customized fit that won't slip off during the night.
Promising review: "I stopped to write this review because this product has made my boyfriend and mine’s life so much easier. He likes it pitch black in the room when he sleeps but I LOVE sunlight. Also I wake up earlier than he does so the lights bother him when I’m getting ready. I tried another eye mask from Target and had to return it because his head is too big lol (he’s 6'3"). So I bought this and he is obsessed. Wears it every night. Fits like a dream and is so comfortable. He says he gets such a better sleep wearing it. No more black out curtains or worrying if he’s going to wake up. He’s out cold with this thing on. highly recommend." —gabriella

Promising review: "I adore my Shaker & Spoon subscription. I get to host friends for a fun, sassy, slightly tipsy cocktail party while making tasty, adventurous drinks with off-beat ingredients. I's like having my own speakeasy where I'm the bartender." —Aaron H.
Get it from Shaker & Spoon for $59+ (available month-to-month or in , 3-, 6-, and 12-month prepaid subscription lengths).
24. A pack of four Wi-Fi-connected plugs so you both can stop arguing over whose turn it is to get up and turn the lights off.

It is the perfect size, it is more durable and higher quality than I had expected. The packaging was beautiful and shipping was fast. Even my teenage daughter came home from school and gasped over how awesome it is. I almost want to buy another to store away in case anything ever happens to this one. Love!" —Ty Carene Sohlman
Get it from Sweetpea and Maple on Etsy for $28.

27. A Kindle Paperwhite because you have a reading goal to meet, and they have a sleeping goal to meet. The large display and adjustable warm light options make it possible to skip the disruptive bedside lamp and still enjoy another chapter (or two) after they've gone to sleep.
Promising review: "I love my Paperwhite. I used to read through the Kindle app on my iPad, but the bright light was hard on my eyes. The backlight and ability to change the brightness makes this a perfect e-reader to use when your partner is sleeping. And because it is for reading only, I don’t get distracted from reading by social media or the internet browsing." —Rhonda
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in two storage sizes and with or without lock screen ads).
28. A 9-foot double-canvas hammock with a sturdy steel stand, a 450-pound weight limit, and plenty of room for multiple people so you two can get cozy in the great outdoors whether you have a suitable tree in your backyard or not.
Promising review: "Such a good deal! Easy and fast setup and very sturdy. This is exactly what our backyard needed! The carrying case is nice quality, though the frame is a bit on the heavy side so I'd probably only take it camping if no hiking was involved. The fabric had a musty smell right out of the box, but it's nothing that a little airing out can't take care of. We are so excited to enjoy it this summer, and the quality of the frame and hammock fabric seem like they will last years to come." —Coffeegirl
Get it from Amazon for $81.99+ (available in 16 colors).
