Plus, it's easy to install so you won't have an argument mid-set up either.
The Humidity Fighting Duvet
If you cohabitate with your partner, you probably already have a duvet. But using two duvets is a game changer for both your comfort. No more rolling over and stealing the covers from your chilly bed-fellow when you each have your own.
TEMPUR® Power Bases
If the two of you have a hard time agreeing on a mattress, opt for a customizable power base bed that allows you to choose the firmness and comfort of your side of the bed–while allowing your partner to do the same. If they prefer a soft mattress and you like it firm, now you can have both.

The game does issue a warning that feelings may arise.

Instant Camera
Classic SLR film cameras are seeing a revival across new generations, even spurring the hashtag #FilmIsNotDead across platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Endless 14K Gold Necklace Set
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but two halves do make a whole. Each half of this two-piece jewelry set is available in solid gold, sterling silver, or 14k gold fill, and is simple enough to remain a timeless style essential. The delicate 1.2mm chain is adjustable between 16”-18”, and each half-circle pendant is handmade in either a smooth or hammered texture.

Even though the box says ages 6 and up, I can personally attest to the fun that comes along with this nostalgic two-player game. Hey, you’re only as old as you feel.

Great Pyramid of Giza Set
The Lego website specifically states, “adults welcome.” So when you’re getting tired of the same old, same old, try reaching for one of these complex kits and spend some quality time building your very own Taj Mahal, Hogwarts Castle, or Egyptian Pyramids. If you’re feeling more artsy than architectural, opt for the Vincent Van Gogh Starry Night set.
QuietComfort® 45 Headphones
Listen, I’m not here to insinuate anyone’s relationship is anything less than affectionate.

They’ve got reliable Bluetooth connectivity, adjustable EQ, and a battery life of up to 22 hours.

Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven
Pizza ovens are becoming a must-have for anyone looking to achieve that true Neapolitan, wood-fired flavor, which up until now has been elusive to all the at-home pizza chefs.
