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

    These gifts are what I'd call a win-win.

    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?"

    Amazon

    In addition to proving YES, that actor WAS in that movie you saw last week, the Dot (powered by Alexa) will tell you the news, weather, play Jeopardy with you, play music, power any connected lights or appliances, and so much more. Google searches? I don't know her.

    Promising review: "My husband got it as a gift but I think I use it more than him. My favorite feature is, by far, the shopping list. You can just tell out random things for Alexa to add to your shopping list and it goes straight to the app. The app also categories it by product, date and who added it." —Amber Wyss

    Promising review: "My husband loves her, and so do I; now she answers all his questions, lol." —Kimberly A. Butcher

    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.

    Promising review: "Throughout my second and third trimester, I was in dire need of neck support to relieve chronic snoring and heartburn that came about during my pregnancy. I tried several different kinds of pillows and wedges, but nothing provided me the level of comfortable, cozy, and immediate relief like the Osteo Hollow Design Cervical Pillow! Like, overnight success. Let's just say my symptoms were so bad that even my husband's sleep was being disrupted (from loud snoring and me getting up every 5 seconds in discomfort) — ALL GONE! Immediately! Thank you, magical pillow. I will be using you for years to come. The quality is excellent - the shape holds up, it is a perfect blend of supportive and soft, not too high, very instinctive to your body to use, and also there is NO SCENT. Run, don't walk to get one if you are also in need of the best sleep of your life while pregnant!" —Greenpoint Resident

    4. A bottle of odor-busting Poo-Pourri, because their deuces make you want to say ✌️ to your home for the rest of the day. Just make sure they spray before they ~go~ for best results (it traps odors under the water's surface).

    Two bottles of original citrus poopourri on the toilet
    Amazon

    Promising review: "For some horrible reason the airflow in my house moves from the bathroom (even with closed doors) right into both the living room and the master bedroom. This is evil!! Everything that happens in there is shared. It isn't so bad when the smell is body wash; but, when it is air spray, BM, or a combination of the two.......I make my husband use the basement toilet. Cloying air spray is almost as bad as toilet stink and together they are unbearable. Then there was you, Poo-Pourri. 😍 Thank you. I don’t know how this manages to only lightly sent the air while Completely eliminating toilet odor. It is magical. I’m ashamed to admit it; but, this has definitely improved my relationship with my husband. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." —Alexandra P.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "A great product! Simple assembly, solidly made, and worth every penny. It is very easy to move (as I do) from floor to tabletop, depending on what my child wants that day.

    The english muffins
    Wolferman's

    Real talk: my family is actually obsessed with these English muffins. They're extra thick and oh-so good — DEEP nooks 'n' crannies for butter meltage. I've eaten and enjoyed all the flavors included in this selection.

    Promising review: "I give these as gifts to family that don't live nearby at Christmas along with a special jam. They love them & requested that I keep them coming! I treat myself to some once in awhile, too & they are delicious. No other English muffins I've had even come close to Wolferman's." —DE G

    Promising review: "I was highly impressed by this Nars Powermatte lipstick. I was skeptical about how long it would stay on with it not being a liquid lipstick. Let me tell you, this lipstick didn't budge or transfer at all! It also was super easy to remove with makeup wipes." —ksan02

    9. An all natural beard balm made with vegan, organic ingredients like argan and avocado oils, plus shea butter and aloe to nourish skin and soften coarse hairs. You're tired of their beard being the scratchiest!

    the tin of balm
    Amazon

    It has over 20,000 5-star reviews from other beard-havers!

    Promising review: "RARRRH! I just want to get ALL UP IN THERE with my face and hands when my hubby puts this on!! And I do. LOL! After reading the reviews about the scent I was hesitant because I don't like most colognes and licorice scents make me nauseated but it doesn't smell like that at all to me, in the can or on my man. It's hard to pinpoint but smells so masculine, clean woodsy, and just wonderful manliness to this sensitive schnoz! Much to my chagrin, it fades progressively after a couple of hours. My hubby keeps his beard and 'stache to a trimmed medium/shorter length but I have noticed a big difference in shine and softness with his twice a day use. He also has sensitive skin prone to breakouts and has not had any trouble with this product clogging his pores...or mine. :) He's promo'ed Honest Amish to his bearded buddies as I have to my girlfriends with bearded menfolk. No one product is perfect for 100% of users but we highly recommend you try this stuff. Best stocking stuffer I've ever bought him!" —KCKENDRICK

    Get it from Amazon for $11.43.

    Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime Members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    10. A Philips Norelco One Blade trimmer and shaver if you're tired of hearing them complain about their razor, or just want to win at gifting this year. This one is beloved by tens of thousands of shavers, and will be beloved by your favorite shaver too! It can trim hair to the desired length (there are five length options!), shape edges, and (of course) shave — wet, dry, and with foam — comfortably and without irritating skin. They can just rinse clean when they're done!

    The ~360 blade~ moves in all directions to the contours of their face too. And it's good for face and body use!

    Promising review: "I am always trying to find a gift for my husband that he likes and uses. In all 24 years of marriage and four years of dating prior to marriage, this is by far the best thing I have ever given him. He uses it all the time. Never uses another razor. He has extremely sensitive skin and after a shave with electric or straight blade" —Sam

    Promising review: "This is the best razor I've ever owned. I give them as gifts now and everyone I've given then to had fully converted. From slaying a neck beard to going down to the bare floors on your undercarriage... this razor does both without cutting you. Battery lasts forever on 1 charge. I seriously only charge mine like every three months. Replacement heads are a little pricey and always locked up if you're buying them from a brick-and-mortar business but still worth it." —Majestic Jim

    Get it from Amazon for $29.96.

    Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime Members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    11. And a Beard Bib for the shaver in your life who...doesn't take the time to carefully clean up every single hair all over the sink. With this genius invention there's no need — the shaver can just suction the bib to the bathroom mirror and get to trimming. Every hair will fall neatly into the little apron, which they can then funnel right into the trash.

    Promising review: "Finally bought this for my husband and I’m not sure why I waited so long. He would always shave over a towel, ball the towel up to 'clean it up when he got home from work,' forget to tell me, and then I’d see it on the bathroom floor or counter, pick it up to throw it in the washer (unaware of what surprise was inside), and beard hair would go EVERYWHERE. My husband can fully shave and then he basically has a full beard again three days later, so this happened more times than I’d like to admit. PEOPLE, DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BUY THIS NOW!" —Ashley Flaga

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors).

    Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime Members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    12. An Amazon Fire TV stick (it's 50% faster than the last generation!) you can simply plug into your existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music you want — even ask Alexa to search by category when you don't know what to watch together. Enjoy it with your partner for an at-home date night, or by yourself when you simply can't wait for them to watch that next episode of White Lotus.

And with this gen, you can control your TV and sound bar right from the remote too, and it even has preset buttons to open your favorite apps in one click.

    Promising review: "We were a little hesitant about trying this but have a beautiful TV that was just a little to old to be a smart TV. We were connecting our laptop via USB cable and that was a pain with the cable running across the living room. After a friend suggested this we were still in debate...would it work? Could we figure it out? Would it be a pain to use? We are not tech experts so any changes are usually challenging. But it was so easy. We did it in 15 minutes and were already adding to our watchlist. Literally thousands of shows to choose from. Old favorites, new exclusives, and movies galore. Alexa is there to help. So happy with this purchase and much cheaper than buying a new TV. Thank you Amazon for another great product." —Lucy

    Promising review: "Hubby loves them. He said they ran true to size and are very comfy, he only wishes they had more colors (beyond standard black/blue/grey) He would buy a lot more if they offered other colors! Other than that these were a great buy." —Jae

    Promising review: "This was a gift from my boyfriend and I love it. We always talk about our dreams of traveling the world together and it was such a sweet and thoughtful birthday present. The map itself is gorgeous and sturdy. The quality is great. If you are thinking about getting this for someone who loves to travel, or you just want to give a sweet gift, this is the way to go!" —Katherine Chicoine

    Promising review: "This scratch map is so much fun! I’ve been scratching off the states and countries and realizing how much I’ve seen and how much more I want to see! The scratch-off portion is easy to remove, and two different scratchers are provided (metal for detail work, plastic for larger areas). They also include a magnifying glass for the tiny places. I also like that the travel map has the country flags to scratch off as well. I am giving the US map to my daughter to track her travels as she grows up." —Alexandra

    The board in use on a table
    Amazon

    Promising review: My wife said it was her best 2021 Christmas present. It was also my favorite Christmas gift to my wife because now I can easily clear off her puzzle from our kitchen island when we have company. Between the board and the four drawers, all 1000 pieces can be easily and SAFELY moved off the granite countertop in one fell swoop. Thank you, Santa!!!" —Bob R.

    Promising review: "A must for people who cannot dedicate a table for puzzles. I have now purchased three of these puzzle boards for gifts. When a table is needed for dinner or another project, it is easy enough to slip the puzzle under a couch or bed without disturbing the puzzle. One of the puzzle boards is used on a coffee table which has a lower level it is placed on when the puzzle is not being worked on." —Tam87

    The yellow pot with two espresso cups
    Amazon

    Promising review: "My husband loves espresso and this didn’t disappoint. I think what we loved it how quickly it brewed. Also I loved the cool designs that you offer. It is very easy to clean and very easy to put together/take apart. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick, small, and easy espresso maker." —Heather G

    The three steps for making cold brew: fill with grounds, brew, then enjoy
    Amazon

    It comes with a removable filter for easy brewing (it works best with a coarser, French press–style grind). And it stores airtight to keep any ~fridge smells~ from making their way into your brew.

    Promising review: "We use this all the time in my house. A little less than when I initially bought it, as there's less call for cold brew in the winter, but it still gets some use. I generally prefer glass to plastic in my kitchen, but the body of it seems to have held up well despite extensive and extended use. I certainly recommend it if you're looking tired of making cold brew at home with the mason jar method, but still don't want to spill the cash for a fancier-than-necessary alternative." —Matthew Baird

    Amazon

    Its capacity charges the iPhone 8 almost seven times, the Galaxy S8 five times or the iPad mini 4 twice.

    Promising review: "I travel for a living, and have always needed a portable charger. Finding plug ins at airports or on planes can be a hit or miss. Having long days of work then directly hitting a travel day can not always allow time for charging. This thing literally never dies. Longest lasting charger I have ever had. I was out in London all day, phone nearly dead and had to go straight to the airport. for a 9 hour flight back to the USA. This charger charged my phone the ENTIRE flight, then on my service car my coworker needed to charge his phone. I had meetings all day and then a dead phone and I charged my phone to a full 100% again! This is a MUST HAVE PRODUCT." —Kyle G.

    22. A three-inch memory foam mattress topper so *your* sleep will never be interrupted when *they* toss and turn. Maybe a mattress topper seems like a weird present, but honestly the gift of a good night's sleep is the best gift of all.

    Plus it's infused with heat-absorbing gel so you both stay cool (and sweat-free) all night.

    Promising review: "I have lupus and fibromyalgia, and two tumors in my lower back in between two vertebrates. Also nerve damage in my upper back that goes down my arms. This is the best purchase I've ever made!! Took me a while to actually purchase it and do research on others like it. When Laying on it I don't get the 'pulling' feeling in my lower back or legs. My upper back does not get the pinch nerve pain. I can barely feel my husband move (the shaking of the bed). I'm so happy I got this. The three inches is perfect. If you have a bad back I recommend you getting this. Had a smell to it when you first open it. But it faded as the day went on. 5 stars across the board. I got out of bed without that stiff feeling." —debra

    23. The newest version of the Kindle Paperwhite with a glare-free backlit screen that looks like an actual book page, so they won't keep you up when they can't put their book down.

    Promising review: "What's not to love about a Kindle? I can have many books in my Kindle, it fits nicely in my purse, and I'm able to read at night in bed without disturbing my husband as he sleeps. It also works well on the beach or outside - no glare. My last Kindle lasted over 10 years and the battery was starting to fade so I bought another — there's a reason why they are the top choice for e-readers!" —K.B.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Love this book light. I use it when everyone in the house is asleep and I don't want to keep the lights on. I still want to read something until it's time for my sleep so this small light is perfect. It has a bright LED light and because it's flexible I can shine it directly on what I read. This is the second time I order this. I've even ordered this to give as a gift. Perfect for what I use it for." —Hula maiden

    the
    Amazon

    Promising review: "With this pad, it is incredibly easy to be both romantic and efficient. I've been using this consistently for a few months now — filling out a sheet when I feel especially enamored with my partner and sending it to his apartment. This way, he gets a delayed but genuine affirmation of my appreciation for him, which makes him feel appreciated and woo-ed. It's a really fun and easy way to do that, because what's easier than checking off a few boxes? My roommates and I use the Knock Knock pads for a variety of things--especially this one and the one for grocery shopping lists." —Rachel F.

    Use it to make low-effort rice, pressure cooked dishes, slow cooked dishes, and so so so so so much more.

    Promising review: "My boyfriend wanted this for Christmas and I rolled my eyes back into my skull. Ugh we already have a rice cooker and a slow cooker and the pressure cooker you had you never used so we got rid of it. Really one more gadget? Well I bite my tongue. We got rid of the huge rice cooker, the enormous slow cooker and use this now for everything! Seriously, we use it 2-3 times a week. We started eating paleo too and it makes the fastest, most delicious, amazing bone broth and the best soup. You can saute vegetables in it too. If I was a college student living in a dorm this is the only cooking device I would need and way better than cooking ramen noodles in my coffee pot!" —CB

    29. A straight-up closet doubling hanging rack to help organize their stuff... and also give YOU significantly more closet room.

    Promising review: "I've recently started sharing a closet with my partner and quickly discovered we own way more clothing than we thought. This has helped us to make the most of our space and not throw the blame around for who is "taking over the closet" Doubled our closet space." —Kel

    Promising review: "This is the best closet organizer. I originally bought a similar item that doesn't adjust, but this is 100 times better! I wish I had seen this first, but I still bought two of these. It is worth paying a little extra money compared to another company's more basic version because of all the adjustment options it gives you. Not only does it adjust vertically to fit whatever length of clothes, but it also adjusts its width, making it extremely functional no matter which closet you may want to use it in within your house. This makes it possible to switch and organize basically any closet!" —Cicee

    Promising review: "Made sushi for the first time last night and it was awesome!!! This thing is so easy!! I was able to make rolls with rice on the outside with no problem — just added a little water to the roll mat and voila! I purchased eel sauce and made spicy mayo and put them in squirt bottles to give the platter that restaurant look. I also added black sesame seeds to the outside of one and a very inexpensive black caviar to another. My guests and husband were all amazed!" —Beach Mom

    Promising review: "2018 was a ROUGH year for me. One bright spark of joy was...the Queer Eye show on Netflix! I've been a Jonathan Van Ness fan FOREVER so I was ecstatic to see that they were cast on the show. I immediately fell in love with the entire Fab Five team. The show was truly a ray of hope, joy, and optimism in the midst of a very tough time. When I saw that they had a book...I flipped out! I don't think I've ever rushed over to Amazon so fast! The book is beautiful. I love reading a few pages every morning while drinking coffee. It inspires me to be kinder to myself and take better care of myself all day long. Bravo to everyone who helped produce this book! OK, now I need to go jade roller my face just like Jonathan instructs." —Alexandra Franzen

    Promising review: "My husband and I found a similar set at Hallmark YEARS ago as we were Christmas shopping and knew we must buy them for ourselves as this movie reference is a common back and forth between us. After many years of use they were chipped and discolored and it was time for new. I was delighted to find these! Larger than the standard mug, they hold plenty of caffeinated goodness and I love that the graphics are on both sides of the mug." —Just a girl buying stuff

    One reviewer used it to make jianbing too — YUM.

    Promising review: "I bought this crepe maker because it was inexpensive and I wasn't sure how easy to would be to do crepes. I can't say enough how pleased I am with the product. The crepes come out consistently good every time. It is extremely easy to clean by just wiping it down after every use. I made dessert crepes for my daughter's party with friends and it was a complete hit!!! No trouble, and I was able to cook them to right there and then. it's that easy! the temperature is very precise and no hot spots. Cooks evenly." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I bought this tray for my husband, so when he eats on the sofa his food doesn't end up everywhere. Predictably, upon arrival he told me he 'didn't need that,' but started using it right away, and uses it every day now. He also uses it to do his daily crossword puzzle, pay the bills, etc. I have one that is similar but heavier, because it is a different type of wood. Now I want one like his!" —Elizabeth Sisongdeth

    It's made from environmentally-friendly bamboo, and it even has the names of different cheeses emblazoned on it for a ~fancier~ look.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this charcuterie and cheese board! The hubby and I love winding down with some wine, cheese and charcuterie. We have tried other boards, and usually the crackers tumble off the board as I walk from the kitchen to the couch (Yes I am clumsy). The nice thing about this board is that is comes with grooves on each side to hold things like crackers, or olives or nuts, things that usually roll off my other boards haha." —Foreverjaded
