Treat Yourself With These Great Valentine's Day Gifts

These almost comically fluffy and soft slippers are made with real sheepskin, and turned out to be a surprise fave among CR staffers during our Outside the Labs roundup of popular slippers. A multimedia content creator, Angela Lashbrook, said the Ugg Fluff Yeahs felt “like wearing clouds on my feet.” It’s worth noting that with a 1.5-inch angled platform, they might not be a good choice for those with mobility concerns.

Is there anything more luxurious than snoozing with a soft silk mask? Crafted from delicate silk, it comes in a variety of colors, including a bold navy, a graceful ballet pink, and an opulent gold. (There are also prints on the company’s Amazon page featuring lipstick smooches, paisley, and an embroidered “rosé all day.”) It has a scrunchy backstrap that stretches rather than adjusts, which allows for a more seamless look (but perhaps an imperfect fit).

This Adidas sweatshirt is a pretty classic hoodie, more of a regular fit than oversized, that would fit in equally at the gym, on the street . . . and on the couch. And while it’s a great buy for yourself—according to CR’s Perry Santanachote in her hoodie review—don’t be surprised if your boo steals it. The luxuriously soft and plush inside will feel like a warm hug when you’re not around.

If you’ve been thinking about trying a weighted blanket, February could be the time. The cover of the Luna blanket is cotton; it doesn’t come with a duvet cover. Luna says you can wash it in cold water on the gentle setting and hang it to dry or tumble-dry on low heat. Bonus: It’s sold in 24 colors.

Perhaps you need a tasty beverage to pair with your fancy dinner for one, or it’s time for a happy hour at home.

The Renpho R3 Massage Gun might be the best all-around device in our evaluation for most average users, because it is small and lightweight, and relatively quiet compared with other devices. As a bonus, this can be charged with a standard USB-C charging cable. However, it’s not the ideal choice for people who want the most intense massage or the best way to massage areas on the back.

Treat yourself to a better support system during workouts. The Shefit Flex was the Editor’s Choice in a recent evaluation of the best sports bras. If you’re looking for serious support—and serious adjustability—this option is the way to go. Featuring a front zipper, the straps are thick and the bra fastens around the back with a wide, hook-and-loop lined band that threads through a large plastic clasp.

Whether you’re working on your downward dog or taking a mindful moment to chill in child’s pose, the Iuga Pro yoga mat is a great choice. It’s also quick to dry and offers a middling amount of cushioning. It offers very good grip on the floor and excellent grip on hands and feet. It comes with a carrying strap.

Swap out that tired old band for a new, snazzy style. “Apple’s Leather Link was my favorite of all the bands I tested, mostly for its versatile look and adjustable fit,” says Anastasia Signoretta, associate director of digital products at CR. “I only wish it was available in more colors, particularly a true black vs. the midnight color, which is more navy blue than black.”

DJI’s OM 5 is a great choice for budding cinematographers, according to our recent gimbal review. The folding design is compact and lightweight, despite concealing a built-in extension rod that lets you film from a more diverse array of angles. And, while other gimbals require some fussing to get them balanced and ready to shoot, we had the OM 5 ready to go in seconds, simply by unfolding it, fixing the phone in its magnetic clamp, and turning it on.

The Dyson Supersonic lives up to its status as a luxury product. In our lab tests, it earns top scores for drying speed and is one of the quietest of the models we tested. Plus, it comes with five attachments: A diffuser, styling concentrator, a gentle air attachment, a flyaway attachment, and a wide-tooth comb. All attach easily to the nozzle via a magnet and store neatly in a case that also houses the hair dryer.

The Bio Ionic Long Barrel came out on top in our at-home evaluations of the best curling irons. Four of the five evaluators felt that the curling iron yielded shiny, healthy-feeling results. The extra-long barrel and multiple temperature settings produced bouncy curls that lasted for days for most users—although, one tester felt the barrel was too long for her short hair.

Give yourself the gift of a pampered bum. The Tushy Classic bidet attachment has a dial to adjust the water pressure, as well as three settings fore and aft. A few users in our recent study of bidets said it was easier to move themselves rather than adjust the nozzle, so if you have limited mobility, this bidet might not be a great option. Some users found that it shifted a bit under the toilet seat. And one said the water pressure could be quite strong: “A 2 or 3 on the dial will give you a blast!” Most users found the Classic easy to install and had no trouble figuring out the water-pressure dial or nozzle adjustment switch.

Give yourself the gift of a better vessel for your morning brew. According to Bernie Deitrick, a CR test engineer, compact mugs with multiple small servings (rather than one big pour) can optimize the flavor and retain the heat of coffee. These Huskee cups are up to the task—according to Yeekai Lim, founder of Cognoscenti Coffee Roasters, a chain of coffee shops in the Los Angeles area—and aesthetically pleasing to boot.

Impressive performance coupled with an enamel splatterware-inspired design make for an insulated mug that’s functional and good-looking to boot. In our labs, the Ello Campy mug kept water hot for 5 hours in a temperature-retention test, a strong performance. It also has a top that’s exceptionally easy to clean, with few crevices. The mug has two gaskets, both of which are easy to remove and replace. The spring-loaded sipping mechanism is easy to slide open with a single hand.

If you’re looking for a very good model at a reasonable price, check out the SodaStream Fizzi. It scores well for making seltzer with a consistent amount of bubbles, and it’s among the easiest soda makers to use, too. The Fizzi’s bottle caps stay on well when the contents are under pressure. The CO₂ injector sits at the top of the water line, so gas entering the bottle doesn’t freeze the water in the nozzle and ice up the works. You can vary the carbonation simply by pressing the button for longer or shorter times. (If you buy this model from Target, it comes with two extra bottles.)
