KURU Apogee Unisex Sneaker ($149, KURUfootwear.com)
Does your partner need a new pair of cool kicks?
These sneakers have a stylish, retro vibe. Yet, they are a treat for the feet, with a breathable mesh upper and a super supportive, padded heel collar that enhances your body’s natural cushioning. I had a chance to try a pair, and I love them for long walks and sightseeing. Good for the gym, too! They’re also unisex, so you and your partner could twin, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Corto Olive Oil Agrumato Method Gift Set ($80, Corto-olive.com)
Whether your partner does the cooking or you cook together, home chefs will love this gift set. Corto Olive Oil is run by 7th-generation Italian farmers, and the brand is used by top chefs in the US, including several 2025 James Beard Award nominees.
Designed by chefs, the set includes two stellar-flavored olive oils: Calabrian Chili Olive Oil and Lemon Verbena Olive Oil. The Calabrian Chili gives a spicy kick to savory foods and beverages, like pizza, pasta, and cocktails, where the sweet Lemon Verbena can be drizzled on cakes and ice cream. A delicious way to up-level your at-home meals!
Celui Scent Pack Trio ($20, Celiufragrance.com)
Ramp up the romance with this sample trio, which makes a sexy stocking stuffer.
This sample-size trio features LA-based Celui’s most popular pheromone-infused fragrances: The One, Nuage Blanc, and Les Fleurs Sont Bu. If you fall in love with the fragrances, they are available in beautiful full-sized bottles as well as room sprays and candles.
Breescape Cooling Comforter ($169.99 and up, Amazon)
Does your partner run hot when they sleep?
Made with proprietary BlendTek™ technology, the comforter combines cooling fibers and breathable layers to regulate body temperature and wick away heat, creating a better sleep experience for both of you. The comforter is also incredibly soft and silky – it feels very luxurious to sleep under. The husband and I have been using one for a couple of months, and it’s seriously my favorite comforter ever.
Brick-You Custom Buildable Mini Figures ($57 and up, Brick-you.com)
One of my favorite gifts of the season, these Custom Buildable Mini Figures are available as a solo person, a pet, a couple, or a group. You send in a photo and the company re-creates you, your family, or even a pet in buildable form. The figures come with a stand or in a buildable frame.
I submitted a photo of me, my husband, and our daughter. The Brick-You team will present drafts until customers are happy with the design (we had very minor tweaks). We gathered around the table and assembled “ourselves,” and it was such a fun family activity. We were thrilled with the final result (pictured) and our figures now sit proudly on our mantle. The instructions, which are accessible via a QR code, are easy to follow.
