My partner and I are pretty new to sex toys. We’ve used her INYA Rose a few times, and I just got some handcuffs... she mentioned trying a blindfold too. But honestly, I don’t really know what to explore next. Any beginner-friendly suggestions?

Sounds like you two are off to a fun start! Honestly, if you haven’t tried a classic vibrator yet, that’d be my first suggestion—there’s a reason they’re everywhere. Wands and bullet vibes are both great, and I honestly think everyone should own both eventually because they offer really different sensations, even though they’re both external toys.
That said, for beginners and couples, bullets are usually the best place to start since they’re cheaper and incorporate into partnered play easily, with their small size fitting between bodies. Prices start pretty low, but if you can stretch a bit, the Hot Octopuss AMO is amazing—it performs like a premium toy despite still being budget-friendly and has that deep rumbly buzz that a lot of people love.
Wands are usually about double the price, since the cheaper ones often just look like wands without the power. They also work best as solo toys, although holding it on each other during foreplay is still a lot of fun. The Magic Wand Mini is a solid starter, but if you’ve got a bit more budget, the Magic Wand Plus or Rechargeable are even better.
And if you can’t decide between a wand or a bullet, check out the Magic Wand Micro—it’s kind of the best of both worlds!
Once you’ve got that down, I’d look into an internal vibrator for G-Spot play. The Pillow Talk Sassy is a solid pick—super beginner-friendly and doesn’t break the bank.
And if you’re doing a lot of PIV and want to level that up, We-Vibe couples toys are next-level. One arm goes inside her, then you penetrate while it’s in place—it hits her G-Spot and clit while also giving you stimulation. The Sync GO is a great place to start.
