7. A TikTok-famous microwavable popcorn popper, in case you need something to snack on during your Netflix-and-chill session.
Promising review: "I love this thing so much! I have avoided bagged popcorn for years because of the weird film it has, plus it just doesn't taste as good as stovetop. But cooking popcorn on the stove is messy and it takes forever and it's hard to judge the oil to kernel ratio. This is the best of both worlds. The little top gives you an idea of how much to use, and you can cook your popcorn in the microwave in a few minutes. It's really the best, and it tastes just like stovetop popcorn. You can add whatever toppings you like and make it as light or as buttery as you wish. This would also make a great gift for friends and family who are missing movie theater popcorn." —Rhianna

10. A comfy sherpa blanket — because the best part of an at-home date night is getting your snuggle on with no risk of being the annoying PDA couple.
Promising review: "We've been sleeping without a nice blanket for far too long. It's usually just a thick comforter and a sheet. Cold nights often made the bed far too uninviting and it never really felt like it warmed up. So, I spend a little bit of money and got this nice fluffy blanket. It's ridiculously soft and very pleasant to touch. It definitely keeps the bed warmer and gives a nice snuggly feel that we didn't have before. We sleep on a full size bed and this fits with plenty of 'extra' to spare (which basically just means my wife can steal a bunch of blanket for herself and I still have more than a corner to myself.) I'm glad I bought it; it looks nice and keeps us warm, which was exactly why I bought it." —Christopher Lang
