1. A super fun, super silly card game that'll have your giftee and everyone else laughing hysterically, no matter how old! The rules are simple: slap the card when there's a match between the word on the card and a spoken word — but be warned! Your mind will play tricks on you!
2. A personalized pet portrait necklace so they can keep their beloved fur baby close to their heart forever and always.
3. An Airbnb gift card because everyone loves a vacation. It's a great gift for couples and families looking for a getaway, new grads who are traveling, or anyone who could just use some time away from home (which, after these past few years, is probably everyone).
4. A pair of glowing light saber chopsticks to help them use the force as they enjoy their sushi rolls and other takeout.
Check out a TikTok of the light saber chopsticks in action.
BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord loves these: "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger that I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony
