1. A burrito blanket because you are what you eat, and they just really love burritos.

Promising review: "The coolest blanket I've ever seen. It's not a huge queen-size blanket but definitely big enough for a throw blanket. Love how soft and nicely made it is. Worth every penny!"—Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
2. A 3D wood world map that comes with push pins so you can track all the places you've visited and created beautiful memories together.

Get it from Amazon for $87+ (available in four sizes).
3. A bath time wineglass holder so they have a designated place for their wine glass while they soak in bubbles for the next hour or so. Do not disturb!

Promising review: "This is perfect. Great for taking a shower or relaxing in the tub. I use it very often. And sometimes I'll even use it to prop my cellphone to watch a video while in the bath. Multipurpose. I love it. Such a great idea."—TiredMomof1
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $38.
4. A plant digital print that'll really show off their love of plants in a unique way. You can download it based on the ratio you want and pick the perfect frame for them.

Promising review: "Love it, thank you! Adding it to my 'plant' wall." —Annie
Get it from Nonily Studio on Etsy for $4.99.
5. A chalkboard ceramic mug so every morning when you make them a cup of coffee you can write a cute little note. "Let's order pizza tonight." Ahh, music to my ears.

6. A bidet attachment for their toilet because you not only care about them, but you also care about their tush. They deserve to poo in ~luxury~.

Promising review: "Speaking as a hirsute gentleman, the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 has soured me on pooping in bidet-less toilets forever. It's shown me the difference between rubbing peanut butter out of shag carpeting with a paper towel, and that sparkling clean feeling you get right when you step out of the shower."—Mercury
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two colors).
7. A lego mug to give them something creative to do while drinking their favorite cup o' joe instead of mindlessly scrolling TikTok all morning. Oh, just me? Okay..

8. A s'mores maker that'll basically hold down your delicious concoction while it melts in the microwave, making (almost) perfect s'mores every time. I say almost because nothing beats a roasted marshmallow, but this is definitely the next best thing.

Promising review: "Works great and the s’mores tasted great! This is a great thing when you want a s’more but don’t want to start a fire!" —J DiBlasio
Get it from Amazon for $20.34.
9. A mini cryptic lock to hold a sweet note or gift that they can only open by deciphering the code. When they solve it, they'll feel like a regular detective. The name's Holmes. Sherlock Holmes.

10. A mini vacuum cleaner so they can clean up their WFH space. Yes, it's obvious there are now snack crumbs on your keyboard. Don't worry, I don't judge.

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
11. A sleeping eye mask with built-in Bluetooth headphones that will allow them to listen to their favorite sleep sounds with no disruptions, like your snoring.

Promising review: "I like to listen to an audiobook to fall asleep and this mask w/ built-in speakers is perfect. I hear perfectly without needing the volume up high so I do not bother my husband. I also like that it allows my phone to be on the nightstand charging and not in bed with me. The fabric is comfortable and when I fall asleep I am never woken up by the mask being on." —Helen M Ostendorf
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
12. A starter witch kit so your partner can get started on their new journey of being the witchiest witch of all the land.

Luni Lumi is a Black-owned Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in witch kits, candles, spell bottles, and apparel.
Promising review: "AMAZING!!! I am making my first altar and I can’t believe how beautiful everything else and how much stuff I got for the price. I ordered everything in little glass jars so they look nice and are reusable. I can’t express how happy I am!!"—Kara
13. A tea drop sample for the person who just hates dealing with tea bags and infusers all the time but still really enjoys tea. These bad boys will dissolve right into the hot water!

Stay and Marie is a Black-owned Etsy shop established in 2012 that specializes in eclectic wood earrings and bold polymer clay earrings.

15. A mindful breathing necklace so they always have a convenient reminder to practice their breathing and stay present in the moment. Don't we all need this right now?

Promising review: "I wear this necklace daily. It's a stylish necklace that looks great with every outfit! I get many compliments on it. The best part is that it really helps with my breathing and anxiety. Since I always wear it, anytime I'm feeling anxious I just pick up the breathing piece and focus on my breathing for a few minutes. It helps calm me down instantly." —Adina
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $85+ (available in four styles).
16. A yoga mat made from cork that is hypo-allergenic, naturally antimicrobial, soft, and lightweight. The mat also has 59 stretches and 60 yoga poses for them to look at while they're in down dog.

17. A relaxing and meditative Buddha board so your partner can draw whatever their heart desires and watch it slowly fade away.

Promising review: "It is one of the most satisfying purchases I have made in a long while. It is no joke when it comes to learning to let go. Draw whatever you want and while it can be frustrating to watch something you have put so much effort into disappear, the exercise is fantastic." —RDW
Get it from Amazon for $34.95.
18. An artificial rose in a glass dome à la Beauty and the Beast that will make them feel like your love for them is endless.

19. A personalized love letter blanket because nothing says love quite like getting them a cozy throw to chill in after a long day of being amazing.

20. A resin-filled jewelry holder so they can have a unique piece of art to put their earrings, bracelets or even an ~engagement ring~ perhaps?? Hmm.

21. A fill-in-the-blank book to express your love when sometimes it feels a little difficult to do so.

Promising review: "This was so sweet I’m so glad I got it for my husband for valentine’s day! I was nervous knowing I’d have to fill in a lot of “what I love about you” but their instructions were perfect and the prompts are so easy, I just filled in the first thing that came to mind and I had a super thoughtful gift and my husband got to hear some of what I love about him. We had some laughs too, you can make it as silly or romantic or dirty or appreciative as you want with your responses." —McKenzie L Stewart
Get it from Amazon for $12.60.
22. A moon lamp for that person who is, like, ~really~ into everything that has to do with our moon. You can also use this as an opportunity to say you would "give them the moon." *swoon*

Promising review: "This light is just gorgeous and looks like a real, miniature moon when it glows. When I sleep I like my room to be completely dark and without any noise besides some white noise. I use the warm light mode because it's pretty and dimmer than the white light mode." —Tabitha
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes).
23. A bracelet to keep an intention locked away in the clasp but with them at all times. Like "I intend to leave the toilet seat down when I'm done using it." So sweet.

Promising review: "I love not only the beauty of this gift but the thought behind it. I even registered my wish and receive daily emails that are so inspirational and beautiful. It makes me very happy! My friend also LOVES her bracelet the community we are now a part of." —Beth
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $48 (available in five styles).
24. A soy candle that will cleanse all bad vibes they may have near them. Nothing shows you care quite like sage-ing your partner's life.

Promising review: "I love this candle so much. I’m using it to de-stress and get all that bad juju out of my apartment. I was so impressed with the speed of shipping and the packaging that I immediately ordered the Breathe Queen Breathe Candle. I can’t wait to use it during my daily meditation. Buy with confidence. Support small Black and woman-owned business!" —Melissa
Get it from Ignite Your Peace on Etsy for $24.79

Nicole Marie Paperie is a black-owned Etsy shop established in 2013 based in New York that specializes in unique greeting cards and paper goods.

Get it from Nicole Marie Paperie on Etsy for $6 (available in two colors).
26. A wall-mounted chess board so you two can constantly play throughout the day while also having a cute wall decor. This looks like something Beth Harmon from The Queen's Gambit would have in her home.

Promising review: "This is a beautiful chess set. I saw it on the site numerous times and it grabbed my attention because it's so unique. I finally decided to purchase the smaller one and I'm so glad I did. Highly recommend this wall chess piece of art." —Mimi
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $95+ (available in two sizes).
27. A personalized art print of you and your partner (and even your doggo!) on a super cute tandem bike. I've never been on one, but after seeing this print...I kind of wish I had.

28. A container of capsule messages filled with cute little notes for your partner to open at random moments of their lives for a little pick-me-up. Alexa, play "Message in a Bottle."
Promising review: "Bought this to give to my boyfriend on Valentine’s Day. He is struggling through depression, and I think it will be a nice way to lift his spirits on days when he is not feeling well. He doesn’t really like receiving compliments - it makes him feel embarrassed for some reason, so I think this is also a perfect way to give him some compliments in private at the time of his choosing!"—Lis
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).
29. A fill in the blank book to fill with all of the things about them that are dear to you. This is a perfect gift for when you struggle to express how you feel but you have so much love for this person.

Promising review: "Gave it to my wife for her birthday. Great way to say I love you because....nobody will be expecting this gift! You are the author with prompts provided in the book. It’s your story and memories, qualities you love about someone near and dear to you. A cherished piece of personal history and your loving feelings. Not corny, but sincerity. Well made! Its impact is priceless." —Gary Silverman
Get it from Amazon for $10.66

31. A box of shortbread cookies with a darling message for your partner. Sweets for your sweetie!

32. A travel stub diary to preserve all of those tickets you've been keeping in a random storage box under the bed. This would even be a cute place to store old movie tickets!

33. A hydroponic glass planter so they can always have a little spot on their desk for some greenery. Plus, it's just a wicked cool piece.

Promising review: "Just created an office in our house and was looking for a way to add some unique decor and incorporate nature. Well, this is PERFECT! It's absolutely beautiful, unique, functional, and sturdy. The glass seems extremely delicate so I was really nervous about screwing the bulb into the stand, but it went surprisingly smooth and has held up perfectly!" —LBrandst129

Get it from Stacy Originals on Etsy for $30.40+ (available in two styles and a variety of colors).
35. A long-distance lamp set that emits an ambient glow when you touch it while simultaneously emitting the same light to your partner's lamp. Quarantine ain't got nothing in your relationship.

Promising review: "It feels so magical. When I think of her, I activate mine by tapping it and hers lights up even though she lives five hours away! As I go about my day, I'll notice my light has been lit by her! If we're both near our lights when one has activated it, we'll send light shows to each other with a barrage of the multicolored lights with multiple toppings by each of us! Such magical fun!"—Patti
Get a pair from Uncommon Goods for $170.
36. A wood map of the city where you both met to always have that beautiful memory laser cut into a unique piece of art.

37. A pair of crew socks that honestly just speak to me (and probably your introvert S.O.) on a physical, mental, and emotional level.

38. A long-distance touch bracelet so it always feels like they're near you, even if you're thousands of miles apart. When one bracelet gets touched, the other one will light up and vibrate.

Promising review: "I purchased these for me and my wife. I am not always away from my wife but it's nice to be able to just tap and send a touch without having to bust out my phone. Makes us feel connected even without opening up my phone. We love them. Battery life is amazing for what they are." —wiseguy
Get a pair from Amazon for $98.
39. A lovebox that allows you to send sweet messages to your partner through their app. When the message is sent, the heart will spin and when they open it, tada! There's the message!
40. A deep kneading neck massager because your partner deserves a little bit of TLC after a long day of dealing with you (just kidding, I'm sure you're great!).

41. A scrapbook perfect for anyone who is a fan of the movie Up. I still cry thinking about the opening scene. This could be you two. *sobs*
