A conversation card game

My partner gifted this conversation game from We're Not Really Strangers to me a few years ago, but it would be great for any type of relationship, whether family, friends or romantic. It's a fun way to carve out space to learn things you didn't know that you didn't know about your partner—and yourself. —Rebekah Barlas, Senior Immersive Producer

A carry-all backpack

This backpack was gifted to me, and it's really great. It's sleek, but with lots of pockets to stash your things: From its soft, padded laptop pockets to a hidden passport pocket and a zippable, side-loading pocket for your water bottle, it's perfect for trips to the office and abroad. —Nathan Strauss, Manager, Partner Development & Solutions

Hot and cold coffee mug

My partner and I love coffee. Whenever we travel, we try to taste their local coffee and espresso flavors—but ran into trouble drinking it on the go. These Cupkin cups are the perfect size for travel, and hold hot or iced coffee. Pair them with these cute straw toppers for a Valentine's Day gift. —Chrissy Garcia, Partnership Development & Solutions Manager

A grown-up rock tumbler

Whenever we go on vacations or hikes, my husband and I return home with handfuls of rocks—typically ones with interesting characteristics native to the places we've visited. He loved his childhood rock tumbler, so I found the best "adult" machine to polish our travel memories. —Lauren Boyer, Senior Manager, Business Insights & Analytics

The original Tamagotchi

I love vintage toys, and so does my 6-year-old son (he even loves this Speak & Spell he got for his birthday). So for Valentine's Day, I'm giving him a Tamagotchi—that surprisingly-hard-to-keep-alive virtual reality pet from the '90s. I hope he has better luck with his than I did. —Janey Adams, Director, Digital Engagement
