    35 Gifts For Your Significant Other That Are Secretly For You, Too

    It's ok to be a little selfish sometimes.

    1. A question per day journal with lines for both you and your SO, leading to interesting discussion on topics like "Where would you like to travel together?", "What does your partner's laugh sound like?" and "What's the softest thing you're wearing today?"

    2. An Amazon Echo Dot that'll be a a time- and space-saving way to settle all your arguments (and prove you're right, of course).

    3. A weird-looking pillow designed to help support sleeping in a properly aligned position, whether it's on their side or back. And yes, according to reviewers that even means keeping snorers in a ~quieter~ sleeping position — helping them (and you, duh) sleep better every night.
