"I love that" —Lisa Barlow of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and your partner opening their Valentine's Day gift.

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in six colors).
4. A tulip-shaped tea infuser that'll look just darling hanging out in their favorite mug — bonus points if said mug resembles a flower pot.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"What a cheerful tea infuser this is! It is so cute standing in my mug of tea! It stands well, infuses well, and washes well. It was a gift when I was recovering from surgery and it was such a welcome bit of cheer in the morning routine. It just makes me smile." — coaviatrix
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
5. A fill-in-the-blank What I Love About Us book you can buy two of so each of you can fill out what you love most about the other — it'll be a nice reminder the next time your partner "forgets" to use a coaster on the new coffee table or sneezes without covering their mouth.
Amazon
Promising review:"This book was a lot of fun to fill in with fun memories and personalized sentiments. There are many, many pages so be prepared to sit down and think of a lot of ideas to completely fill this book. I gave this to my boyfriend as a gift and he thought it was so sweet that he cried the good kind of tears. Very clever gift idea." — Denise K
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
6. Or a couple's activity book featuring fun prompts like brainstorming potential matching tattoos and deciding your couple theme song (bonus points if it's something completely random like "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" because that's what was playing when you first met at a wedding) — a must-have for any duo looking to add some lighthearted fun to their day-to-day.
Amazon
Promising review:"Just like the previous book with some differences. We enjoy that these mini-dates can be as long or as short discussions as we wish. They are good conversation warmups for us." — Tom Jahn
Get it from Amazon for $14.09.
7. A unisex perfume featuring scents of fresh fig, iris, jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla in a simple but aesthetically pleasing bottle that'll look great on any vanity. You two can share it when you're hoping to smell a bit fresher after staying the night. 😉

Get it from Amazon for $99 (also available in various other scents).
8. A bouquet of Lego roses they'll likely enjoy assembling and appreciate much more than a vase filled with living florals that will, sadly, die in a few days. Reviewers have also noted they're a great option for gifting someone who is allergic to flowers!

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five styles).
10. Or a heart-shaped terrarium in case your partner actually does have a green thumb and enjoys keeping little plant babies thriving — it comes fully assembled, but you will need to pick up the succulents, air plants, moss, etc, to complete the gift.
Amazon
Promising review:"Yes, the terrarium is small, but for my first DIY terrarium project, it was a manageable size. From reading the reviews, I knew it was not watertight, so I lined the bottom with a quart-size freezer bag that I cut open. I lined the bottom with pebbles and a thin layer of activated charcoal before adding soil and plants. Another reviewer recommended not lifting the terrarium after it was filled so I placed it on a pretty tray that will also catch water and make it easier to move. I am in love with it and can't wait to make another, larger terrarium." — NB
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven styles).
11. A Local Eclectic anniversaire charm you can customize with gems or materials to mark a specific anniversary (Year 1 = gold, Year 20 = emerald, etc.) — so thoughtful! Or throw caution to the wind and just design one you know they'll love.
Local Eclectic is a woman-founded and woman-run business based in Chicago. I own a bunch of stuff from the brand and have yet to be disappointed!
BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman has this unique item: "I have two of these on my necklace: my partner's birthstone and amethyst, which corresponds to our six years together. Jewelry is such a classic gift, so I particularly love that these charms have a deeper meaning beyond just looking pretty. I love my two charms so much that I'm very strongly considering getting charms for years one through five, so I'm up to date! And a side note: These charms are excellent fidget toys! I often find myself unconsciously playing with my necklace charms, and it's very calming."
Get it from Local Eclectic for $70 (available in 21 styles).
12. A set of tortilla coasters so they can celebrate the best carb in all the world through their everyday decor.

13. A very dapper Squishmallow you won't be able to resist pick(le)ing out for your love. I mean, look at him! He's better dressed than I am on my fanciest night out! Be careful, he might just steal YOUR Valentine's date.
Amazon
If you're purchasing this for an avid collector, you might benefit from an over-the-door Squishmallow holder.
Promising review:"My daughter has been obsessed with Squishmallows, particularly Charles the Pickle plush. We purchased this distinguished pickle as a Valentine's Day present for her, and she loved it. The character is cute, the color is true to the picture, and the quality and softness is everything you expect in a Squishmallow." — Adam and Andrea Burton
Get it from Amazon for $21.77 and check out these other Valentine's Day options like Aurora the Owl, Sy the Fish, a kiss-covered Stitch, and Cherry the Cherry.
14. A mason jar cold brew maker for your partner who prefers to sip on iced coffee all year — yes, even when it's 15 degrees out in the middle of winter. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. Cheers!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories.
Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
15. And a cheeky "love notes" glass they can use to sip their cold brew or a lil' mimosa while hosting a Galentine's Day brunch and gushing over what a wonderful and thoughtful partner you are.

It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber

Amazon
Promising review:"This was perfect to give to my girlfriend on our anniversary! A very nice present for those who tend to be indecisive!" — Aaron Lamson
Get it it from Amazon for $14.49.
19. A pack of squishy animal-themed gel pens (complete with 24 colorful refills!) that'll look adorable hanging out on their desk. There's enough in the pack that you can graciously pass 'em out to their friends, too. Valentine's Day wouldn't be complete without adding something that's borderline too cute!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: " These pens are fun for the senses! I didn't even realize they came with ink refills until I opened up the package. The gel ink refills are my favorite!" — Gomez-Orlioglu

Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 35 colors and four sizes).
21. A fan favorite Otherland candle that'll make their home smell divine while also adding a pretty piece of decor to the room. If it were acceptable to soak your entire body in a candle scent....they'd likely choose one of these.
Amazon
I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the US. Additionally, Otherland is a small business!
Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in 14 scents).
22. A personalized straw topper to hilariously help them mark which tumbler in the house is theirs — I'm begging you, please get one made of something extra silly like a cutout of *your* face or Nicolas Cage's.
Promising review:"I was very surprised by the quality of the straw cover. I sent in a picture of my dog with the order, and it was cropped perfectly without compromising the quality of the image. Sooo cute!" — Kim Veliky
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
23. An adventure and date night scratch-off book filled with date ideas that'll add an extra spark to your relationship. It also comes with spots for instant camera pics, so you can snap a pic, pop it in the book, and cherish the fun memories you make later on.
Amazon
Promising review: "The book itself is well made. Hardcover and looks nice enough to put on a shelf or somewhere on display. It comes with two little scratchers to rub off the material that covers the date ideas. This product is super cute! My girlfriend and I have done two of the dates so far, and that alone has made it worth the money. If you are someone who struggles to come up with date ideas, this is ideal, and you can look back at the memories you made. After we finish the book, we'll definitely check out one of their other ones." — Emily
Get it from Amazon for $47.98.
24. A jar of Momofuku's chili crunch for any foodie to jazz up their meals — we're talkin' everything from eggs to ice cream. It's made with three types of Mexican chilis, crunchy garlic, and shallots to add heat and texture to every bite.
BuzzFeed editor Bek O'Connell really adores this jar of goodness:
"I put this stuff on everything! It just makes food taste better. I highly recommend to any fellow spicy lovers looking for the perfect topping. This chili oil comes with seasoned salts, Mexican chilis, dried garlic, and shallots."
Get it from Amazon for $10.39 (available in four flavors and as a multipack).
25. Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, aka a delectable blend of teriyaki sauce and barbecue sauce that'll have their tastebuds dancing with delight.
Check out a TikTok of Bachan's Japanese barbecue sauce in action.
Bachan's is a small business that specializes in Japanese barbecue sauces.
I'm a big condiment girly and the sauces from this brand have quickly become some of my faves! They're not overpowering and go well with so many dishes. I would happily just eat a bowl of white rice covered in this stuff, TBH. My husband loves the miso one and has been planning our meals around it!
Promising review: "Worth the hype. This is absolutely delicious and full of umami. It's so tasty on stir fry with rice and makes it taste more like hibachi. I warmed up leftover restaurant brisket in a skillet and tossed a little of this on it at the end and let it caramelize, and it was outrageously good. The flavor is hard to describe. It's savory and salty like the sauce that comes with Chinese dumplings, but not quite that. And there are notes of barbecue sauce, but not heavy or overly sweet." — John Flora
Get a set of two (Original + Miso from Amazon for $21.58 (available in five flavors and several combo packs).
26. A baguette birthstone bracelet you can personalize with stones that represent important people in their life — whether that's their kids, their pets, or each member of the Jonas Brothers. (Hey, why not?) It'll stack beautifully with their other fave pieces of jewelry.
I have some lovely jewelry pieces from Caitlyn Minimalist, a woman-owned small business, and I am such a fan. I've gotten necklaces for others as gifts! The quality is fantastic and the price is incredible for something so beautiful.
Promising review: " I got this bracelet for my daughter who just had a baby. I included her husband's birthstone also. It turned out beautiful and she absolutely loved it!" — Angela M.
Get it from Caitlyn Minimalist for $31.20 (available in eight sizes, three finishes, and up to five birthstones)
27. A pair of platform slippers reviewers are looooving because they're super similar to the popular Ugg Tazz style. They can wear these cozy, fleece-lined babies both indoors and outdoors, so no need to take them off until bedtime. 😉
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers also recommend going up a half size if you want to wear socks with your shoes.
Promising review:"These are so cute and perfect! They are comfortable and true to size! My expectations were beyond met! I have been sharing the link to these with so many people already!!!! I have returned my Tazz Uggs (not true to size and expensive) and will buy more of these instead!" — Lineth L.
Get it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in women's sizes 5–10 and in four colors).
28. A playful scratch-off Valentine's Day card you can write your own secret message on then watch with delight as they scratch to reveal it. Way better than a boring ol' regular card.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly sent me one of these (you can buy 'em in bulk!) for one Valentine's Day and it was a delightful treat! The element of surprise is definitely more exciting than most cards. Added bonus? InklingsPaperie is a small business based in Plymouth, Michigan that sells a variety of scratch-off paper items.
Promising review:"This card is so cute! It looks just like the picture and the scratch-off sticker was super easy to apply." — Breanne Ragland
29. A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than twenty bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to their daily stack.
Promising review: "This bracelet is gorgeous! It really looks like real diamonds. I chose rose gold and if this holds up well, I will have to order another in silver. It's really nice that they offer a few different size options, I rarely see that. From reading the reviews, I saw some complaints about the clasp but, I think it's nice. It's very secure so there's no chance of it coming off." — Sarah Downs
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
30. Or a rainbow repeating Mickey Mouse tennis bracelet that'll add some color and pizzazz to their arm candy — just imagine how lovely it'll look when the sun hits it as they're scrolling Insta looking for the next Disney-style trend.
Amazon
Promising review:"This is so cute and dainty. From a distance, you can't tell that the stones are Mickeys because they are so small, but when someone notices or I show them, they really are impressed at how beautiful it is." — FNN
Get it from Amazon for $60 (available in three styles).
31. A pair of custom Funko Pops that'll impress the ultimate collector — they certainly won't have these on their shelf already! You can create the two of you, your kids, add your pets, whatever! So fun!
Funko
I had one of these made in the POP! Yourself Hogwarts style for my sister for Christmas and it was such a hit!
Create your own figure at Funko for $30/figure.
33. A Taylor Swift lyric–inspired coloring book that'll have their brain screaming "Drop everything now!" a la "Sparks Fly." It has 45 intricate pages to color that are loosely designed to follow the Eras tour in order. (Genius!) This Valentine's Day treat them to a cozy night in with their carefully curated Swiftie playlist and a fresh set of colored pencils.
www.amazon.com, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed
Don't forget to snag a fresh colored pencil set on Amazon for $11.99 or indulge in the dual-tip markers I've been using for $9.99 (also on Amazon). I got this as a gift for my Secret Santa exchange with my girlfriends and, despite being a sleep-deprived parent myself, I couldn't help cracking it open as soon as my kids went to bed! The pages are intricate but not overwhelming and I love how themed they are. Can't wait to keep coloring!
Promising review: "I never thought I would enjoy adult coloring as much as I do with this book. It provides many opportunities to be creative, mix colors, be whimsical, and enjoy the lyrics." — Sherry
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
If you want to *really* take the gift to the next level you can pair it with this Taylor Swift edition of Mad Libs, the latest edition of the Taylor Swift Little Golden Book, or a Taylor Swift song–inspired cocktail book.
34. Stylish chunky teardrop earrings that are a dead ringer for the Bottega Veneta ones, but you'll still be able to afford to treat yourself to an iced coffee after snagging them for your partner for V-Day. They're gold plated (sweeeet), lightweight, and reviewers have said they don't affect their sensitive ears.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra-large size).
35. A mixed set of flower-shaped coupe glasses featuring eye-catching colors and a vintage feel to 'em for your partner who appreciates gorgeous glassware. They might not even want to hand drinks out in them when guests are over in fear of one being dropped — but good news, at this price point, they *ABSOLUTELY* can (and should).
Amazon
Promising review:"These are gorgeous. They look delicate but are pretty sturdy. They came very well packaged. I love the flower design for something just a little different. I highly recommend." — Cindee S.
Get a set of six from Amazon for $59.95.
36. A reading light they can wrap around their neck, excellent if they have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while they turn the pages of their book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly onto your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night, and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone, this light is still my go-to when reading. It's better than any nightstand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck, but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" — Linda Holloway
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven styles).
37. A subscription to Book of the Month for your bibliophile S.O. who hates having to actually speak to someone in a store about what they should read next and would much rather have their next fave novel delivered to their door.
Book of the Month
I was gifted a BOTM subscription many years ago and I've stayed loyal since! It's the only subscription service I've kept up with and gifted to different people. Each month, your gift recipient will be permitted to choose from a selection of books (and, more recently, audiobooks!), all of which are different genres. Then the book they select will be delivered to their door. Half of my beautifully color-coordinated bookcase is filled with books from BOTM, and I couldn't be happier!
Get three months from Book of the Month for $59.99.
38. A triangular book page holder — an absolutely genius idea for readers who simply *need* somewhere handy to place their book when they start to fall asleep mid-reading. It perfectly fits on nightstands and is designed to *~aesthetically~* hold your spot — it also has a place to put your glasses and a phone. How much better does this evening sound than shouting across the table in a crowded restaurant? Sign me up.
Amazon
Besuerte Store is a small business. The larger size has a spot for a cup as well!
Promising review:"I took a chance on this one despite it having very few reviews. It took a little bit to arrive but the product was well worth the wait. I love that it is a beautiful solid wood piece and was packaged in a way that didn't require assembly and would not be damaged upon delivery. Overall, I'd say it exceeded my expectations and is priced well." — R. Young
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles).
39. Pink Joy-Con controllers you can swap out for the ones that come with the Nintendo Switch OLED — these will add a fun pop of color to your gaming sesh while feeling like the perfect, festive Valentine's Day treat.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
I have these pink Joy-Con controllers and they simply make me happy. That should be reason enough to treat yourself, right? Anyways, they connect just as easily as the controllers my Switch OLED came with and function exactly the same. They just add a fun aesthetic to my gaming and I love that! It's also been nice to have an extra set of Joy-Con controllers when I want to play more interactive games with guests (and will definitely come in handy as my kids get older and want to join in on the fun).
Promising review: "I got these for my sister along with the new Princess Peach game and she loves them. She loves the color so much." — alpha85
Get them from Amazon for $79.99 (also available in four other colors)
40. A boxed set of The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbooks, perfect for anyone who would basically give their kidney away if it meant being able to chow down on a Mickey-shaped pretzel right about now.
Amazon
This set comes with The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook, The Unofficial Disney Parks EPCOT Cookbook and The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook.
Promising review: "We like going to the Disney parks, and one of the things we try to do is figure out the different dishes we get at the sit-down restaurants. While most of them are pretty easy to figure out, some of them are not. These books help us go a long way to recreating some of our favorites. It's a fun read." — RocketTom
Get it from Amazon for $36.84.
For more recipes, check out The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book and the latest addition The Unofficial Disney Parks Holidays Cookbook.
41. Pearl earrings that'll go with every outfit they own — whether it's a little black dress or denim. They'll think of you fondly each time they put 'em on.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The Pearl Source is a small business!
Promising review:"My girlfriend has always wanted a real pair of pearl earrings. For her birthday I bought her these earrings, and she absolutely loves them. She has sensitive ears and has trouble wearing certain types of earrings. Since she got these she has been wearing them nonstop and hasn't had any trouble." — Lafe
Get them from Amazon for $84+ (available in four sizes and two styles).
42. Espresso Martini Instant Cocktail Tea Bags that can be used to take *~tini time~* to the next level with minimal effort (and for wayyyy cheaper than a bar tab). All they'll need to do is steep the bag in cold water and a spirit of their choice (vodka is recommended, but it can also be made as mocktails) until the majority of the bag dissolves. Cheers to that!
www.amazon.com
SAYSO is a small business!
Promising review:"Initially thought these would need to steep in hot water, but they work in cold water. I like to let them steep around 10 minutes. Quick and delicious cocktails! I've tried all flavors but Old Fashioned and that's next. These are fantastic for cocktail lovers who camp. No heavy mixers to carry." — AnneF
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six other cocktails and in a variety pack).
43. Aesop Aromatique Hand Balm you might want to think twice about buying because it's going to ruin every other hand cream for you *and* your partner (since you'll definitely be stealing some from them after you gift it) — it smells divine and is so hydrating they'll wonder if it was handcrafted by Poseidon.
Heather Braga / BuzzFeed
My husband bought me this for Christmas (after becoming very obsessed with Aesop's Rind Concentrate Body Balm) and it is unreal how well it works. A little goes such a long way — it really is quite possibly the most hydrating hand lotion I've ever tried. This specific one is filled with Cedar Atlas, Patchouli, Clove Bud, which gives it a very unique floral aroma that everyone should experience once in their life. BRB while I pause writing this post to search for a candle that smells like this...OK, I'm back. I also took a second to put some of the lotion on. It genuinely absorbs immediately into my skin — I'm not sure how I ever survived winter without it!
Promising review:"This was definitely a splurge for me, but I will be repurchasing again and again! The cream feels luxurious and smells like a spa! It's not greasy, and absorbs well." — Bunnylady
Get it from Amazon for $33.
44. An adventure book just like the one Carl and Ellie created together in Up before Pixar went ahead and crushed all of our souls into a million pieces — they'll love it ;).
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Super awesome gift to make. I made it for my one-year anniversary with my boyfriend because he loved the movie Up. (Who doesn't? It's so cute.) We're going to continue adding to the scrapbook and hopefully pass it on to our children. The book is real sturdy and easy to remove and add pages. Pages are easy to write on and paste on pictures. Really great for the price." — Esther G.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
45. A darling heart-shaped Paris Hilton cast-iron Dutch oven they can leave out on display during February for Valentine's Day but also, obviously, utilize all year for whipping up delicious recipes. It'll have them saying "Le Who-set?" whenever someone asks if it's from another, pricier brand.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"10/10! A perfect-sized pot for 1–2 people to share a meal, cook out of, or eat out of! I just received it yesterday, and I've already cooked with it twice with no issues at all. It's the cutest light pink color and the shape of a heart at a fantastic price. I currently own three Dutch ovens and this is the best one that I already use way more often than the other two. It is not heavy at all, and it is very manageable for an everyday pot. Super easy to clean with some soaking after letting it cool down and rubbing with the soft side of the sponge." — D. Dorado
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
46. A luxurious super soft scarf that looks just like one you might find in Anthropologie and has been designed to feel similar to cashmere. A flawless and thoughtful gift for your partner who is always freezing (you just might not have to give up your own coat every date night!).
Amazon

I have many sweatshirts from BFFs and Babes, a woman-owned small business, and I simply adore them — I've also purchased so many as gifts! The sweatshirts are super cozy and don't run in the wash (thankfully). I love that you can customize them to say whatever you want!

You'll find me and my tiny humans wearing these waaaaay past February though.

Promising review:"This box of cupcakes makes the perfect gift for someone you love and an even better Valentine's day treat!! The box is so cute and everything was delivered in perfection condition. The cupcakes are adorable and they taste so fresh. So small BUT SO MUCH flavor!! I loved the strawberry, Dulce de Leche and marshmallow the best :) Truly never disappoints." — Ava
Get a pack of 25 from Baked by Melissa for $47.
49. And an engraved heart-shaped locket charm you can count on to bring a tear to their eye — it's a classic gift that you can personalize with an initial or a word and then take it to the next level by adding a photo to the inside. It doesn't get more special than this.
Catbird, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed
My "son" got me this for Valentine's Day two years ago (he was 10-months-old at the time, so do with that what you will), and it is, to date, one of the most beloved items I own. It has his initial engraved on the outside and a tiny photo of him on the inside. I will treasure it forever and get compliments whenever I wear it. Now that he's basically a full-fledged adult (ahem, 2.5), he constantly asks me to wear it so he can open it and see "tiny Noah inside!"
Get it from Catbird for $188+ (available with or without a chain).

Gia Giudice Explains Why She's Planning to Move Out of Her Family's New Jersey Home: "It's a Lot"

Gia Giudice could be leaving the nest very soon. Although she will always be a Jersey girl at heart, the Next Gen NYC cast member said she plans to leave her family's Montville home in the next several months. Why? Well, Gia explained that her increasingly busy work schedule has required frequent commutes from New Jersey to Manhattan, which she found to be 'super exhausting.' 'It's a lot. My schedule has only picked up since Next Gen NYC, which is funny, because it picked up the summer we were filming Next Gen, and no one knew that we were filming it,' she recently told Today. 'It's just my career kind of started picking up, and my brand started growing, and I am in the city at least four times a week, so it's a lot of back and forth from Jersey.' After graduating from Rutgers University in 2023, The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter moved back in with her mom, Teresa Giudice, and stepdad, Luis 'Louie' Ruelas. Gia spoke about her living situation in the March 23 episode of her Casual Chaos podcast, saying she didn't 'have an urgency to move out' of her family's $3.3 million mansion. 'I mean, I have everything I need at home,' she said. 'I know people that stay home until they get married. I make my own money, I do my own thing, but I just don't see the urgency to move out.' Gia told Today she wanted to start apartment hunting sometime in August and begin the moving process in September. However, the 24-year-old said she has yet to decide where she will live.

I'm gonna figure it out,' she said, before revealing her plans to visit her family's abode regularly. 'I'll still spend my weekend at home, maybe every other weekend at home,' she continued. 'I have to see my Bella (her family's dog).'Related: Gia Giudice Reveals Her New Big Career Goal: "Put a Lot of Effort Into This..." Gia touched on a potential home move in a 2024 episode of her mom's podcast series, Turning the Tables. The Jersey native said she wanted to move in with her longtime boyfriend, Christian Carmichael, rather than live by herself. 'I think you should live on your own first,' Teresa told Gia. 'I do really want to move in with him, eventually,' Gia said. 'What am I going to do, mom? Live on my own? That's going to be so boring. He's literally going to be over every night anyway if I lived on my own." 'I give you my blessing if you want to move in with Christian,' Teresa responded. Gia reassured her mom she wasn't in any rush to shack up with her beau, saying, "When it happens, it happens."

42 Thoughtful Last-Minute Father's Day Gifts That'll Get To Dad On Time

Even gifts you shop in the eleventh hour can show the father figure in your life how much he means to you. From Amazon Prime-eligible presents to monthly subscription boxes, there are tons of unique (and thoughtful) gifts guaranteed to arrive by Father's Day, which is on Sunday, June 15. Our top speedy recommendations include a supportive pair of Brooks Glycerin 22 Running Shoes, Loop's versatile silicone earplugs to muffle unwanted sounds and our favorite noise-canceling wireless headphones from Bose. Crunched for time? We found the best last-minute Father's Day gifts that ship fast but are still ... More meaningful. When selecting a last-minute gift, consider your dad's interests and hobbies, as well as splurge-worthy items he wouldn't think to buy for himself. For example, foodies will appreciate Harry & David's Summer Grilling Gift Box, while avid birders will get plenty of use from Birdsnap's Smart Bird Feeder. Below, shop our editors' favorite last-minute Father's Day gifts that will arrive on time and show Dad how much you care. For more gifting inspiration, we also curated the best Father's Day gifts and the best subscription boxes for dads. Amazon Whether Dad prefers walking or running, this supportive sneaker will help propel him forward and keep his feet well-positioned as he moves. My brother and I gifted my dad a pair of supportive sneakers for Father's Day last year, and he uses them every day. (The Glycerin 22 shoes are also a top pick in our guide to the best men's running shoes.) Amazon Forbes Vetted supervising deals and coupons editor, Kara Cuzzone, recommends the Aura Digital Picture Frame, which displays photos and videos directly from your phone. 'It's really easy to set up, and the whole family can add pictures to it via an app, so you can share old memories and new pictures even if you're not together physically. Plus, the picture quality is super crisp,' says Cuzzone. Amazon This wireless meat thermometer ensures Dad's favorite BBQ won't be over- or undercooked and is incredibly easy to use. The set includes two color-coded probes with individual sensors (four different sensors total, including three internal and one ambient temperature sensor) and a 'booster' that displays the temperatures on a bright LCD screen, making it easy to monitor the cooking process. The device connects via Bluetooth, and the app sends alerts, estimated cooking times and more. Amazon Help Dad whip up delicious breakfast sandwiches with this fun device from Hamilton Beach. All he has to do is layer his favorite bread on the top and bottom with an egg (plus other ingredients and toppings) and wait for the countdown timer to alert him that it's ready. Amazon This digital watch by Casio has a cool, retro look, and the smooth resin band feels light and comfortable on the wrist. It's a stylish accessory for work, golf outings, lunch with friends and more. Plus, it has a 20-bar water resistance rating and can withstand sudden impacts (like being dropped) without damage. Amazon Whether Dad is a workout enthusiast or could benefit from a targeted massage to help him relax, the TheraGun Therabody Mini is a practical gift that he's sure to use often. It comes with three attachments, and its portable size makes it easy to throw in a gym bag or luggage. Amazon If he's a coffee (or tea) drinker, the Ember mug will ensure his cup of joe is never cold. It provides up to 80 minutes of heat—or all-day warmth when placed on the charging coaster—and has an auto sleep feature and handy LED indicator lights that alert you when your drink is at the desired temperature. Amazon If your father is a sports fan, chances are he'll love reading about the history of baseball and the legendary players that made the game what it is today. Written by Kevin Baker, The New York Game is intertwined with stories of American life in New York City, the birthplace of baseball, and the controversial moments that are still debated and discussed. Amazon Recommended by our home editors as one of the best fire pits on the market after several rounds of testing, the Breeo Smokeless 24-Inch Fire Pit is great if Dad loves entertaining or spending time outside. The smoke-free fire provides warmth without any lingering odors. Amazon I bought my dad a Yeti travel mug two years ago, and he talks about it every time I come home to visit. The mug's base fits perfectly into cupholders, so he can bring it with him when he's running errands, and the leak-resistant lid prevents the contents from sloshing out. My dad also loves that it's dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Goldbelly New York City has a vibrant food scene, and this creative gift box (it serves 8 to 12 people) contains some of the city's most iconic dishes. Highlights include a pastrami sandwich kit from Eli Zabar, a coal-fired pizza from John's of Bleecker Street, an assortment of pre-baked bagels from Zucker's and a cheesecake from Junior's. Harry & David This well-organized box of savory spices and sauces will help Dad whip up delicious meals throughout the summer. The bundle by Harry & David contains four different sauces and a bold Peppercorn spice rub, and it's available to ship now (last-minute gifters might want to bookmark this option). Amazon Add a little flavor to his food with this fiery trio of Hot Ones hot sauces and a heat guide so he can work his way up to more intense varieties. The varying flavors and heat levels—from the milder Classic to the intense The Last Dab XPerience—will keep things interesting. All that's missing are crispy chicken wings. Amazon Dad can use this collection of savory sauces in several different ways: drizzle them over dumplings, use them as a marinade, stir them into noodle dishes or use them as a dipping sauce for crispy fried chicken. The possibilities are endless, and there are three flavors to experiment with (spicy sweet soy, ginger soy and Sichuan sesame soy). Crowd Cow Updates writer Fran Sales gifted a Crowd Cow surf-and-turf bundle to her dad (a true carnivore who's been trying to eat more healthily), and she says the whole thing was a hit—not just with Dad, but with the entire family. The key to the brand's fresh, delicious offerings are its partners: ethical farms, fisheries and producers, which ensure you receive only the highest-quality products, whether that's pasture-raised beef or free-range organic chicken. Your dad can redeem this gift card on the Crowd Cow website. Amazon If he spends a lot of time in the backyard, this smart bird feeder by Birdsnap is packed with cool features to level up his birdwatching. It uses AI to identify bird species, and the high-definition, wide-angle camera captures birds in real time, even at night. Ticketmaster If your dad is hard to shop for, consider a Ticketmaster gift card so that he can choose from thousands of events ranging from concerts to sporting events to comedy shows. 'I got my dad US Open tickets last year, and they were a big hit,' says Cuzzone. 'He's a huge tennis fan but had never been to the Open, so I got tickets for us to go together, and he hasn't stopped talking about it since.' Amazon This traditional Japanese watercolor set is a winning gift if he's creative or just looking to pick up a new hobby. 'I bought this paint set for my dad last year, and he loved it,' says Thomas. 'The colors are rich, and come in a beautiful package, so you don't need extra wrapping if you're running out of time and have to send it directly.' Uncommon Goods 'One of my dad's favorite gifts I've ever gotten him is this custom viewfinder,' says Forbes Vetted updates writer Claire Epting. 'It's delightfully nostalgic, and the personalization process was straightforward and fun.' It comes with a unique code to redeem your customized photo reel online. Epting advises ordering it in advance to ensure the viewfinder and the photo reel arrive in time for Father's Day. fossil Our top bifold pick in our guide to the best wallets for men, this compact and well-organized wallet makes an excellent gift that Dad will use daily. 'The material is flexible and smooth to the touch, while the stitching around the edge of the wallet prevents loose strings from sticking out,' says our tester, Forbes Vetted content strategy analyst Luke Frangis. Minted A framed photo is a classic gift that any Dad is sure to appreciate. This option from Minted offers several customization options, including the size and type of frame (choose from six wood shades and specialty materials like brushed silver) as well as the matting. Universal Yums If Dad has an adventurous palate, this subscription box offers popular snacks from different countries, including South Korea, Greece, Pakistan and more. 'I got my stepdad a subscription to Universal Yums a few years back, and he still talks about some of the snacks he discovered. It's extremely last-minute friendly and just a fun way to try something new every month,' says Jordan Thomas, assistant deals editor at Forbes Vetted. Atlas Coffee If Dad starts each day with a cup of coffee, treat him to this customizable Atlas Coffee Club subscription. You can select the coffee type (ground, whole bean or pods), brew method, roast preference and number of bags per shipment. Bespoke Post If you're not sure what to get the father figure in your life, go for a subscription box from Bespoke Post, which caters to various interests and hobbies, from mixology to clothing. It earned the top spot in our guide to the best subscription boxes for men, and we like that it highlights goods from small businesses and lesser-known brands. MasterClass Whether interested in honing his writing skills or learning more about the business world, MasterClass offers a wide range of sessions to help the father figure in your life learn and grow. Classes from entrepreneurs and experts like Mark Cuban and Stephen Curry are added monthly, and he can watch on his TV or phone instantly. Amazon These multi-use earplugs are crafted from flexible silicone (they come with four ear tip sizes so Dad can find the best fit) to muffle unwanted noises and help him sleep, relax or focus on work. The portable case is also easy to slip into a backpack or pocket so he can bring these on the go. Amazon Whether he's trying to drown out sounds on his morning commute or zen out after a long day at the office, these wireless noise-cancelling headphones by Bose are an excellent gift. They have 24 hours of battery life, rich audio quality and plush ear cups that feel comfortable even after hours of wear. (After our extensive testing, they were rated the best wireless headphones overall.) Amazon Last year, I bought this Amazon Fire TV streaming stick for my dad (an avid movie watcher), and he absolutely loves it. It's easy to install and navigate between apps, and the picture quality is crisp and clear. Amazon I gave my Dad an earlier version of this portable speaker a few years ago, and he always talks about how much he loves it. (It's also a top pick in our guide to the best bluetooth speakers.) This speaker is incredibly durable, so Dad can use it outside or while camping without worrying about it getting damaged. Plus, it can go up to 24 hours on a single charge. Amazon Kiehl's is a top-rated skincare brand known for its gentle yet effective formulas, and we appreciate this giftable set that includes two essential products for all skin types. The gel face wash cleanses without stripping skin, and the moisturizer contains vitamin C, which can improve Dad's skin tone and texture over time. Amazon Help Dad unwind after a long day with these hydrating eye masks. Standout ingredients include caffeine, which increases circulation and can reduce puffiness, niacinamide and green tea. Amazon Shaving cream is an essential that Dad will use regularly. This 2-pack is formulated without fragrance and includes hydrating (and soothing!) ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal, shea butter and aloe leaf juice. Korchmar Upgrade Dad's grooming routine with this sleek leather toiletry bag that's packed with sunscreen, moisturizer, aluminum-free deodorant, Epsom salt bar soap and more. The bag features snap-down ends, allowing you to expand it as needed, and a secure zippered top closure. At checkout, you can select Next Day or Second Day Air shipping for an extra charge—orders are processed at 11 a.m. daily. Omnilux If Dad is all about low-maintenance self-care, this FDA-cleared light therapy device requires just 10 minutes per session and can be worn while he makes his morning coffee. It uses medical-grade technology to target fine lines, wrinkles, inflammation, redness, uneven skin tone and more. Two velcro straps keep it secure, and the flexible silicone molds to your face for a comfortable fit. Note that shipping takes two to three days (after processing), so make sure to snag this ASAP if you want it to get to Dad by Sunday. Amazon If Dad is big into self-care, he may have heard of hygge, the term for a unique aspect of Danish culture that means the feeling of contentment you get from absolute comfort. These slip-ons from Danish brand Glerups, which are made from 100% wool from both New Zealand and Denmark, embody this concept to the fullest, thanks to the comfy but breathable uppers, foot-shaped design and sturdy rubber soles. Updates writer Sales gifted this to a friend a few years ago, and he ended up wearing them both indoors and out (and she borrowed them frequently, too). Amazon If Dad is a fan of aviator-style sunglasses, there's no better gift than a pair from American Optical, the iconic brand that designed the first pair for the U.S. military 90 years ago. These durable, timeless specs are made to military specifications, which includes impact-resistance and 100% UVA/UVB protection. Faherty With warm weather on the horizon, gift Dad a stylish and lightweight shirt that he's sure to wear whether he's meeting friends for lunch, running errands or going to dinner. The open-weave linen is breathable and features a relaxed fit and shirttail hem. You can grab this as soon as tomorrow if you choose to pick it up from a nearby Nordstrom; otherwise, shipping takes between one and three days from both retailers. Fair Harbor Fair Harbor's ultra-popular Bayberry Swim Trunks are made from a water-repellent fabric that's quick to dry, resists odors and has 4-way stretch, so they won't feel tight or restricting. There are more than 20 fun colors and prints to choose from, and the hidden back pocket with a keyring is another helpful feature. You can grab this as soon as tomorrow if you pick up at a nearby Nordstrom; otherwise, shipping takes one to two days (after processing) from Fair Harbor. Amazon A favorite brand from our fashion team (they earned a top spot in our roundup of the best men's pajamas), this pajama set will keep Dad cool and comfortable whether he's sleeping or lounging. The fabric is silky-soft and non-pilling, and the pants have two side pockets. Sperry This iconic shoe is popular for a reason—it's constructed from durable, full-grain leather, features EVA cushioning for all-day support, and can be easily slipped on and off. The visible top-stitching and rawhide laces add an extra touch of pizzazz to this style as well. My brother and I gifted my Dad a pair of Sperry boat shoes a few years ago, and he wears them all the time. Cozy Earth My Dad is always looking for comfortable garments that he can wear to work and on the weekends, and I plan on gifting him these pants for Father's Day. The nylon-spandex blend is both stretchy and soft, and it comes in three lengths to ensure the best fit. If you're ordering from Amazon, the color Eclipse arrives before Father's Day, but Jet Black takes a bit longer to ship. Nordstrom Polo shirts are versatile and easy to wear, so Dad is sure to get a lot of use out of this option. We appreciate the slightly textured cotton fabric, which has plenty of stretch, and the ribbed detailing on both sleeves. Some of the most popular gifts on Father's Day are headphones (we recommend the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones), sneakers or apparel (our pick is the Brooks Glycerin 22 Running Shoe) and personalized gifts. Other popular categories include personal care products, gift cards and subscription boxes.

Neymar drops by Brazil's pre-match, fans celebrate in style

Neymar drops by Brazil's pre-match, fans celebrate in style – check it out Almost everything is ready for the Brazilian National Team to face Paraguay at the Neo Química Arena, at 9:45 pm (Brasília time), this Tuesday (10), the 16th and penultimate round of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has even announced the official lineup! Advertisement In addition to the starters, the 66-year-old Italian coach has left out of the game left-back Carlos Augusto (Inter Milan) and midfielder Andreas Pereira (Fulham). But, while the ball doesn't roll in Itaquera, there's a lot of movement around the stadium. The Green and Yellow Movement, which usually makes noise in the stands in support of the National Team, is present around the Neo Química Arena. The "Pistola" Canarinho is also at the Corinthians' home to welcome the five-time world champions, including the "host" Hugo Souza. And even Giannis Antelounmpo, star of the Milwaukee Bucks, from the NBA, is also present at the NQA. And Neymar, the big star of this generation of Brazilian players, but who is still out of the National Team while trying to string together a series of games to get physically fit at Santos, was present at the concentration hotel to give that final support before the match.
