A handheld soap dispensing brush that might just make you both more interested in cleaning your dishes — it looks kinda fun, doesn’t it?


oxo / Via instagram.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “I’m loving this little brush. I had purchased another dish brush a while back from the grocery store and the bristles were so stiff that it often splattered soap everywhere. This one isn’t like that. The bristles are stiff, but soft enough that they tend to cling to what you’re brushing, so they don’t cause that splatter effect. I also like that you can open the whole thing up by taking its top off to refill it, giving you plenty of room to pour in the dish soap. The ability to easily remove and replace the brush is another very handy feature. Both are easy to do and it’s well made, so they’re not likely to come open or undone unexpectedly.” —Elliria

A hair scalp massager you can use to give each other soothing head massages in the shower while also applying shampoo and cleansing your scalps. Sounds like a win-win to me!


Amazon, amazon.com

I have one of these babies and it really is wonderful. Not only does it make me feel like I’m really getting in there while I’m washing my hair, but it also re-creates that feeling you get when your hair stylist massages your head while washing it. Ugh, so good.

Promising review: “Love this product! About five days before I received it I dyed my hair at home. As some of you may know who do the same, it’s difficult to get the hair dye out of your scalp. I scrubbed my hair for days with my fingers and it seemed like everything was gone because the water ran clear. When I received the product I was excited so I am immediately jumped in the shower to use it. To my surprise a ton of hair dye that was stuck on my head came off. Not only that, but my scalp feels breathable and clean. Definitely not greasy 24 hours later like regular shampooing would do for me. I would recommend this product.” —Lisa Agro

Get it from Amazon for $8.59+ (available in three colors).

A teeny tiny Magic 8 Ball for making decisions on the spot — like should you order pizza or tacos for dinner? No need to waste any more of your precious time together arguing about food.


Amazon

Promising review: “I’m having a blast with this miniature Magic 8 Ball. It sits on the table by my recliner for easy access. With it, I’m now free of the majority of decision-making in my life which relieves me of any stress, anxiety, or uncertainty that might come over me at any moment. I no longer have to take any responsibility for my actions; I can just blame it on the 8 Ball. It fits easily into almost any sized pocket, so, if I’m going out, I can take it along and let it play the same role in my life. This ability to take my new decision-maker with me in smaller form is great! It’s a nice return to my childhood, inexpensive, and a much-needed reprieve from the stress of our contemporary society. Everyone should have one and have some light-hearted fun!” —ALW

A stainless-steel ring that doubles as a fidget spinner and will keep you both calm, cool, and collected in stressful times. Trust me, even Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson probs need to pause and take a breath once in a while (JK, they’re perfect).


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “I’ve had this ring for about two weeks now and just had to write a review. I’ve had the nervous/bored habit of picking at my fingers since I was a kid. I can’t remember the last time I’ve not had at least one nail bed torn up and bloody. For people with similar habits, I can’t recommend this ring enough. It’s a great, nondistracting way to redirect fidgety behaviors. I’ve worn it every day since receiving it and for the first time in years I have intact nail beds! Every time I catch myself starting to pick at a dry patch of skin or uneven cuticle on my finger, I rotate the ring a few times and the impulse disappears.” —KGL

A massage roller to apply acupressure on the bothersome parts of your feet and make them feel fantastic so neither of you ever have to give a foot massage again. You’re SO welcome.


amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: “I’ve been having so many issues with my feet the last few years. My feet hurt so bad, it’s made me become a hermit. I’ve had tendinitis in both and now plantar fasciitis. I get foot cramps all the time. After just one day with this under my desk at work, I feel a huge difference. My feet no longer feel tight and painful. They feel tingly — in a good way. I look forward to being able to go for a walk and not have to rest along the way. I know it’s meant for feet but I may try it out on my calves. I also love that it’s small, looks nice and doesn’t slide around. I highly recommended this for anyone, foot issues or not, if you sit a lot. Nice way to keep the blood flowing when stuck at a desk.” —Vanessa Thomas

Promising review: “We just purchased the Nespresso Virtuo machine by DeLonghi with the frother. Did much research and looked at many reviews. This is the first time I’ve reviewed a product. Doing it because my wife and I totally love this machine, frother, and the results. Many people noted that the new vertuo pods are pricey. They are, but you won’t look back. Best. Coffee. Ever. Easiest system and well-made machine. We just returned from Sicily and this Nespresso combo offers a better cup of cappuccino every time. Also, the Virtuo lineup offers so many awesome coffee styles, and the pods are recyclable. Really. We love, love this. Our best purchase in years.” —LB Wildcats

Jackbox Party Pack – it’ll give you access to a bunch of games to play with a group of friends from a distance so you and your S.O. can get some “virtual face time” in with your friends and take a small (but likely much-needed) break from only spending time with each other.


playjackboxgames / Via instagram.com, playjackboxgames / Via instagram.com

My friends and I bought Jackbox Party Pack 6 a few months ago and had so much fun playing together. We all signed onto Zoom so we could chat while playing the various games. It came with six games total, which gave us enough options to find activities everyone enjoyed. It was fairly easy to set up as well — everyone just has to log into a specific URL and enter a unique code to get into the game. Honestly, it made this quarantine scenario feel a bit more normal even if it was only for a few hours of fun.

A foot file that’ll transform your scaly dragon-like heels into soft soles that’ll be so smooth your partner won’t even recoil if you accidentally touch their leg in bed.


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “This thing is pretty amazing. I was skeptical for sure, since I’ve tried all kinds of lotions, balms, and stone-based products, none of which helped my heels whatsoever. I’ve worn socks to bed for years, because if I don’t the sheets hardly last a week before they have holes rubbed through them. My wife ordered this thing that looks like a mini cheese grater, lol, and after two minutes — two minutes! — of rubbing it on my heel, it’s a complete 180. I never would’ve believed it until I tried it myself. This is well worth double what it costs.” —LBK

A Baby Brezza formula dispensing machine to mix and warm bottles for your little one — it’ll make those middle-of-the-night feeding sessions a bit more bearable for you both.

Model putting bottle up to white and black formula machine


Baby Brezza

BuzzFeed editor John Mihaly swears by this gadget. He said:

“Listen, listen, listen. Without hyperbole, the Baby Brezza has been one of my best investments for year one in babyland. Late-night feeds no longer become about fumbling, spilling, mixing, warming, and minutes later delivering a so-so bottle to a crying child. No, in seconds a measured and warm concoction is in hand and then in baby’s mouth. Just add water to the tank and formula to the dispenser and serve bottles ranging between 2-10 ounces warmed to three different temperatures. The time, effort, and stress this wonderful machine has saved me from is emotionally immeasurable and worth the price tag. It even forces you to clean it after every four uses because that formula gets gunky and you get lazy.”

I am so happy I did, a gorgeous mug — but also a perfect mug for a cup of coffee. Love the handle, the size of mug/handle, and the design and detail is gorgeous!

This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged all the time, and we’re spending ridiculous amounts of time trying to clear it out. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair then it would be worth its salt. Holy moly. When they say it catches every hair they aren’t kidding. We clean it off about twice A WEEK! And when they say it’s easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off. I’ve already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!” —sasamo

Or an air fryer (also from the makers of the Instant Pot), perfect for anyone who hasn’t always been a big fan of leftovers but wants to make the most of all their delicious homemade meals. Best of all? You can crisp up your fave foods without all that oil.


Hannah Loewentheil / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed editor Hannah Loewentheil finally caved and bought an air fryer while in quarantine, and she’s glad she did:

“I’d been contemplating buying an air fryer for quite some time, but it wasn’t until I found myself cooking every night with my family due to COVID-19 that I finally decided it was the right time to get one. Friends of mine were raving about their new Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer, so after reading similar feedback on Amazon, I decided it looked like a winner. And it happens to be made by the same company that makes the crowd-favorite Instant Pot. I figured I would be using this appliance primarily as air air fryer, but as an added bonus, it can also roast, broil, bake, re-heat, and dehydrate food.

I’ve had this air fryer for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say it’s become the hero of my kitchen. It preheats quickly, it’s large enough to hold a good amount of food at once, it’s easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I’ve been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you’re cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don’t get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don’t mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there’s no oil involved in the cooking — just air. We also tried making sesame chicken in the air fryer using boneless skinless chicken thighs. The sesame chicken tasted almost identical to my favorite Chinese takeout, and it had nothing to do with my cooking skills. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn’t believe I made this at home!!”

After a couple of weeks of gentle encouragement (‘YOU ARE KILLING EVERYONE.

Promising review: “We are a family of six in a small one-bathroom house. This is, to put it lightly, a horrific nightmare — particularly after my teenage son spends some time in the bathroom. After a couple of weeks of gentle encouragement (‘YOU ARE KILLING EVERYONE. SPRAY THAT STUFF ON THE WATER BEFORE YOU POOP OR I’M TAKING AWAY YOUR PHONE AND, SO HELP ME GOD, I WILL CALL YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND TELL HER EXACTLY WHY YOU GOT IT TAKEN AWAY.’) he started using it regularly. The bathroom is much less disgusting now after he leaves.” —Supa D

Promising review: “I cannot recommend this enough. This little shelf has changed my life. I’ve been having bowel issues since my teenage years — I wish this had come into my life sooner. Every time I step off the toilet now I feel lighter, fresher, and like a new person.” —MsNiters

A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer hot air brush that’ll help you achieve your hair goals and cut down the time you spend getting ready so your partner is less likely to ask, “are you almost done?”


amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: “I was skeptical that this would work on my short, thick, curly hair (2c/3a), but when I saw this worked on Black women, I gave it a try. I don’t straighten my hair that often because I’ve learned to embrace my curls, but this is easy to use and gave me a salon quality blowout. It is lightweight despite how large the barrel is. It does get very hot so be sure to use heat protectant.” —Rda

Get it from Amazon for $41.88+ (available in five colors).

Or a splurge-worthy Dyson Airwrap styler you’ve likely seen your favorite celeb raving about — it’ll replace your blow dryer, multiple curling irons, and quite possibly your regular ol’ hairbrush while also leaving you with extra bathroom storage space (which your partner will love) *and* fabulous looking hair.


dysonhair / Via instagram.com, Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has tested this bad boy and can confirm it’s worth the money. She said:

“It’s been years since I’ve given up going for a stick-straight style. It just doesn’t look great with my face shape, and my hair is mostly beholden to the whims of Mother Nature. But I used this to successfully create a straight style with a curl under at the end and I think if I gave it some more practice, I could nearly imitate a blowout look. Nearly!”

Get it from Best Buy for $549 (available in two colors).

A universal hair diffuser from DevaCurl that’ll speed up the drying process by completely surrounding curls from the root, ensuring your hair can be done in a snap (also a good option if you’re not looking to break the bank on haircare at this moment).


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “Let me start by saying I’ve tried many different diffusers before this one. I have 3c/4a, very fine/flat curls. Normally when I diffuse, my hair is left a frizzy mess. I’ve resorted to sitting under a hooded dryer to avoid frizz. But then my hair dries super flat and weird. Not with the DevaFuser! I attach it to my blow-dryer from another brand. It fits perfectly. My hair dries in record time, with little to no frizz. I even have some volume on day one! I am really impressed. Give it a try. I hope it works just as well for you.” Britd03

Get it from Amazon for $23.34.

Amazon

Promising review: “This exceeded my expectations! I ordered this as part of my new collection for my fiancé’s return from overseas. The lace is absolutely stunning, the satin ribbons are so elegant. It fit beautifully, even for my fickle and unpredictable chest. The girls tucked in perfectly and stayed nice and supple looking under the lace. I would definitely recommend this item as would my fiancé…we both have enjoyed it thoroughly!!” —Shannon

A sound machine/night light for couples who are desperate for some decent sleep sometime this decade.

the small conical light


Amazon

Promising review: “LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this lamp/white noise machine. I bought a second one, and now everyone in the family wants one (the adults and teen alike!). The options for lamp brightness/dimness, noise volume, and types of white noise are GREAT. We were able to drown out fireworks for my son that were going off RIGHT over our house. The touch option for on/off is great; there is a toddler lock feature we love; you are able to program green-to-rise for kiddos to stay in their rooms until it turns a certain color… love being able to control it from my phone… you can add as many lamps to your app as you want/need. Just LOVE this lamp. The one thing that isn’t my favorite is that you have to disconnect/log out of one lamp to connect with another in the app. I wish you could just select each lamp without that extra step, but that’s not a huge deal at all. Love it!” —H.P.

A pair of wireless Beats headphones so even the couple who lives in very close quarters can feel like alone time is attainable.


Emma McAnaw / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed editor Emma Mcanaw loves these babies:

“These Beats headphones have been a real game-changer for me. The sound quality is SO MUCH better than my cheap headphones, which has actually really improved my experience while working out. I find it easier to stay motivated now that my music is *crystal clear* (and I can’t hear myself wheezing). . They can hold a charge for a pretty long time, as long you always store them in their charging case. I usually use them for a full work day without needing to re-charge them. Plus, they’re really comfy in my ears and never fall out, thanks to their clever hook design (if you have comfort issues with Apple headphones, these will probably feel better)!”

Get them from Amazon for $199.95 (available in four colors).

Check out Emma’s full review about why she loves these so much in “Just 10 Things To Try In March.”

An all-in-one vacuum and mop that’ll zoom around cleaning for you so you guys can keep watching Schitt’s Creek without having to pause to vacuum the house.

the circular robot vacuum mop


Amazon

My parents recently bit the bullet and brought a robo-vac into their home. They were hesitant about the new tech, but after giving it a go and seeing how thorough this lil’ machine was, they were over the moon.

Promising review: “I really cannot say enough good things about this product! I have two golden retrievers and they have very fine fur and shed like crazy! This vacuum picks up all the hair and makes my house look fabulous every day! I have to empty the dust bin every day, but that is nothing compared to all the vacuuming I used to have to do. This vacuum goes under beds, gets most everything out of every corner with the little ‘eyelash’ whips that swirl around while it is vacuuming. I very rarely have to do anything but pick up my bathroom area rugs because the vacuum can’t handle them because of the rubber backing. Such a small price to pay for such an incredible vacuum!! I highly recommend this product and it came really quickly too!!” —Sherri

An inexpensive item finder with four receivers you can stick to your phone, wallet, and keys to ensure you’re both never late because you were tearing apart your couch cushions looking for your latest lost thing.

Amazon

Promising review: “I purchased this Key Finder and I liked it so much I got a second one after I gifted mine to my daughter (she always loses her keys and this causes lots of problems with her husband). This vendor is the coolest ever and they will stand by their product, so rest assured that if you don’t like it (can’t imagine why) or if the product stops working this company has your back. This is a simple solution to find things, I have one on my remote, one in my wallet and my keys — three things I’m always looking for.” —Blujaykat

Promising review: “Love how little space these take up. My closet is pretty small so getting these types of hangers was a must. Clothes don’t slip from the hangers which is nice because with the plastic ones, my tank tops and dresses would always fall off. You can even hang pants too. ” —Amazonian

A Drillbrush power scrubber – it might just make you excited to clean your bathroom — or at least help you to stop procrastinating it a bit.


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “I have NO idea why this product would ever have less than a five-star review. It is a great brush set — I used all three in an effort to get some mildew stains off the grout in my shower. NOTHING worked, but a bit of Soft Scrub (bleach) and these brushes worked like a charm! I then used the larger brush on the floor of the shower, and to remove some soap scum from the glass shower doors. WOW! Where has this been all my life?! Excellent product, works like it should in conjunction with your power drill.” —SomeGirl

Amazon

Promising review: “I’ve only had this game for about a week so my roommate and I have gotten through about 7–8 pages, but flipping through this thing I can tell we are in for a treat. We’ve never laughed so hard while going poo. I used to get on my phone immediately in the bathroom but this game is now the priority. Each page only takes 10–20 seconds to complete so don’t worry you’ll still have time to scroll Instagram but you definitely won’t want to as much because you’ll learn some crazy new things about your roommate. This is a must have if you live with someone.” —Tom

A budget planner to help keep you both on track when it comes to your shared expenses, like seeing how much closer you are to being able to renovate your outdated bathroom.


Amazon, amazon.com

It even has stickers to help *save* the day!

Promising review: “I have struggled with budgeting my entire adult life. I have made many resolutions that I was going to keep track of my spending and that I was going to plan for the future, but the resolution has fallen apart for many reasons, not the least of which was not having a way to keep track with which I was comfortable. The CleverFox Budget Planner allows me plenty of space at the front to name my budget goals, and to keep track of my progress. Rather than seeing a budget as a life-time thing, which I think is what makes it hard for me to commit to it on a daily basis, Clever Fox provides me with plenty of motivation to keep going from day to day and beyond.” —Lorraine Berry

A subscription to Atlas Coffee Club that’ll ensure you always have coffee in the house so neither of you wakes up and stumbles into the kitchen only to fall into a blind rage when you realize there is no caffeine to be had.


Kayla Suazo / BuzzFeed, atlascoffeeclub / Via instagram.com

My fellow BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo tried out Atlas Coffee Club and only had good things to say:

“My first observation after opening the box was the smell. It smells FAN-FREAKIN’-TASTIC. It also comes with sweet postcards from the cities where the batches are from, so the entire experience feels so lovely and personal. As for the coffee itself, it’s heavenly. I am used to store-bought coffee — which yes, is fine — but both of these tasted incredibly fresh and different from each other. The Peruvian coffee has this dark, almost chocolate taste to it, so I imagine it would be delicious with a morning sweet treat (maybe I should start eating pie every day?). The Colombian batch, on the other hand, was a little lighter roast-wise but still had delicious notes of rich sweetness. TL;DR: both of them were incredible both in taste and quality.”

Get a subscription to Atlas Coffee Club for $9+ (available in a half bag, single bag, or double bag and shipments every two or four weeks).

And anti-snoring nose vents to hopefully help you both get some shut-eye instead of feeling like you’re sharing the bed with a grumbling, irritated bear.

Amazon

Promising review: “I purchased this product for my husband as I am a light sleeper and his snoring tends to prevent me from falling asleep or wakes me up from my sleep. We have tried numerous options and these nose plugs have worked better than any others. He wasn’t super stoked about sticking something up his nose for the entire night but he said they fit comfortably which makes him forget they are even there. The snoring has decreased and my sleep has increased which has done wonders for us — no more grumpiness or one of us moving to the couch.” —Amazon Customer
