1. A merino wool knitting set that'll give you the materials to make your own chunky throw. I don't think you could possibly have a cozier hobby than this.
2. A calligraphy guide and a pair of brush pens, if you've always been obsessed with making your handwriting as pretty as it can be.
3. This cool birdhouse kit that looks like a lil' camper! If you want to make some new feathered friends, this baby will beckon them in for a meet and greet.
4. A magnetic chess board that'll give you and your significant other a break from Netflix. It also comes with checkers pieces for when you're tired of strategizing with rooks, knights, and bishops.
5. A Friends activity book that'll let you indulge in word games and quizzes about Monica Geller and the gang. Reviewers say it's great for fans of any age, and that it's a hilarious gift option, too.
6. A deck of tarot cards that'll help you tap into the occult and look ~within~. It comes with a guidebook that'll get you started with the basics, including different spreads and card meanings.
7. An embroidery kit that'll give you something besides your phone to fiddle with (and let you embrace your inner gran). Reviewers love how cute the pattern options are, and that it teaches you different kinds of stitching with instructions that are clear as day.
8. A Keanu Reeves colouring book that'll give your eyes a break from your screens, but not from sweet Keanu. You'll get to fill in 35 hand-drawn illustrations that'll let you bask in his brooding gaze for hours.
9. A colourful dog puzzle that'll keep your brain working and entertained, at the same time. This thing is 1,000 pieces, so be prepared to spend a few hours on it (or grab a puzzle mat so you can roll it away and continue later).
10. A pack of highly-pigmented markers that'll make it easy to get creative. Reviewers love that it comes with a colourless blending marker that lets them experiment with different techniques, and that each marker has two tips — a fine point for outlines and a thicker one for colouring.
11. A scrunchie-making kit that'll give you the tools to make your own. It comes with enough materials to make three, but you could improvise to make a couple of smaller sizes to use for half pony days, too.
12. A paint by numbers kit that'll give you something to do and eventually, new decor to put up! Reviewers love that it's not overly complicated, but still challenging enough to entertain them for a day or two of painting.
13. The first volume of of Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo that'll awaken a deep appreciation for Neo-Tokyo and Japanese cyberpunk. If you've seen the film and loved it, you'll be pleased to discover it only covers the first of six volumes — meaning there is so much more story to delve into.
14. A New York Times book of crosswords that'll tickle your brain cells just enough to challenge and entertain you. This particular compilation includes "medium level" puzzles, but they're no joke — make sure you use pencils so you can erase your mistakes!
15. A UV lamp that'll transform your need for the perfect manicure into an artistic hobby. Plus, if you always manage to mess up your nails while you're waiting for them to dry (like I do), then this thing will basically change your life.
16. A scrapbook that'll inspire you to get crafty (and maybe a little nostalgic, too). It comes with stickers and stencils, so you can decorate your memories to heart's desire.
17. A cathartic colouring book that'll let you swear without actually having to speak. Reviewers love losing themselves in the intricate patterns and chuckling at the ~fun~ messages on every page.
18. A lavender-infused eye cushion that can ease a screen-induced headache and help you fall asleep. It comes with a removable cover, so you can wash it without soaking the whole thing.
19. An anti-slip exercise mat that'll remind you to put your phone away and take a moment to stretch out. It's on the thicker side for comfort, so it'll give your joints the padding they need. It also has markers on it that'll help you focus on your alignment and improve your practice.
20. A macrame kit that'll give you the tools to make your own trendy plant hanger. It's suitable for beginners and comes with step-by-step instructions that'll teach you everything you need to know.
21. A super-cute stationery set, so you can spend some time writing thoughtful letters to your fam and friends (instead of the usual text or email thread).
22. A ukulele that'll finally get you to learn that Jason Mraz song from a million years ago. It has soft nylon strings, which is great for beginners who don't have callused fingers (yet).
23. A copy of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking that'll inspire you to experiment with new ingredients. It includes a combination of recipes and theory, so it'll give you a deeper understanding of why things taste the way they do, too.
24. A record player that's so cute, it'll make you want to cultivate a vinyl collection. It's also set up with Bluetooth, so you can play music from your phone when your screen break has come to an end.
25. This watercolour paint set that'll bring out your inner Picasso. It comes with everything you'll need to get started (including a sketchbook!), so you can jump right into it.
26. A wood burning kit that'll give you a whole new way to doodle. Just keep in mind that this thing gets hot enough to literally burn wood, so please don't burn your freaking house down, okay?
27. A bullet journal that'll get you off of Google calendar and help you keep track of everything the old-fashioned way. It's gridded with dots to help you create graphs and symmetrical outlines, too.
28. A mini sewing kit, so you can finally reattach that button that fell off your favourite shirt. If you've never sewn anything before, there are tutorials literally everywhere (so no excuses!).
29. And finally, a meditation journal that'll teach you how to take a breath and chill out for a sec. It's packed with mindfulness exercises and reflection prompts, so you can start balancing out your stress levels.
I know, I can't put mine down either.
