I just use a tripod and my phone, sometimes one of us holds the phone for when we do things that needs a closer look.

Tripod and light ring works well and ideal for close up work - as for joining in - just do it

I used either a tripod or a flexi phone holder they have an extending arm type thing and can clip into different furniture

You can never have too many tripods, depending what we were doing we would have both of our phones recording for different views.

Tripods or a flex arm depending on your recording device.
there is something to be said for a proper video camera tho, one you can output the video to a monitor that way you can see what’s being recorded, know you are in frame and can make adjustments on the fly as it were. nothing than worse than having a great session that wasn’t captured correctly, frame, focus, etc.

I would suggest an octopus mini tripod , I have used one for years during motorcycling and bedroom . You can wrap them around anything handy . Here is my thread of photography . The Little Thread of Photo and Video tips and tricks
I also would say a tripod and a beauty halo light would be useful to invest in 
My wife and I are genuinely thinking of filming ourselves (not for public, just for ourselves).
My wife will be a little timid though - anyone got any tips or pointers that might help?
We’ve got 2 halo lights and phone holders to go with them.

its something im thinking more about pitching the idea to my mrs… just for self pleasure material!
Go for it!
It’s a bit of fun.
We did some filming a while back with phones and ipads.
It was hot watching it back but I kept weirdly staring at the cameras and the microphones are very sensitive on them
