1. Say goodbye to microwave popcorn and unpopped kernels with this popcorn maker, because every kernel counts.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this popcorn popper for my husband and son because they love popcorn. I was tired of buying the expensive microwave bags of popcorn. This popper may seem small, but it pops quite a bit of popcorn at once. It is also much healthier than prepackaged popcorn. It works well and pops pretty quickly. There are very few un-popped kernels with this popper. My one problem with it is that it does not always melt the butter by the time the popcorn is done popping. We just started melting butter in the microwave." –AmazonCustomer25

Get them from Amazon: the popper for $25.62 and a 28 oz. bag of organic popping corn for $8.19.

2. Upgrade your popcorn even more with a variety pack of popcorn seasoning.

amazon.com

Promising review: "My wife LOVES popcorn. Our house is never without a box or two in case of movie nights or random munchie attacks. I purchased this pack for her as a Christmas present, and it was probably her favorite gift of the year. The size is perfect; large enough to use generously a few times, but small enough so that it doesn't become clumpy, moist and unusable before you reach the bottom of the bottle. Most of the flavors are wonderful, with her favorites are Ranch, White Cheddar, and Bacon and Cheddar." –Brandon Turner

3. Or, turn your popcorn into a sweet marshmallow bar treat.

6. Opt for a projector that'll work indoors and out, for the big-screen experience at home.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered this projector for outdoor movie nights with my family. We set it up in the backyard and use our white garage as the screen. The picture quality of this projector is great for the price! We've hooked it up to both our DVD player and Roku. If you're using it outdoors, you will need an external speaker hooked up, as well. For inside use, the built-in speaker was fine. Overall, we are very happy with this projector." –Mindy Kimball-Gerritson

Get it from Amazon for $84.99.

7. Or, slip your smartphone into this projector for easy DIY streaming.

amazon.com

Promising review: "What a fun product! It's pretty easy to use with the directions on the box. I had to figure out how to lock the direction on my phone, but it was fun to show some videos and pictures in our living room one night. It worked well when we were in the basement (very low light), not as well upstairs where there's more light – but I wasn't expecting Bose quality or anything. Definitely fun to use, and I love the design!" –Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $32.

8. Never get a neck cramp again with this tilting laptop desk.

amazon.com

The cutouts are designed to ventilate your laptop. No overheating = endless streaming.

Promising review: "I was nervous about purchasing but decided to take a chance because the other lap desks are about the same price and don't even have legs. It has honestly made studying, doing homework, online classes, and even just being on my computer in general SO much more comfortable. With the adjustable top, I can be entirely set up with my machine and computer on my bed for comfortably. I absolutely love it. And It is definitely made with quality." –Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $32.99.

10. Get as comfy as this cat with an oversized bean bag chair.

amazon.com

Promising review: "We bought a similar bean bag from Land of Nod (with my daughter's name embroidered), and we loved it so much we decided to get another one for grown-ups. I found this one for half the price, so I decided to chance it, and I'm so glad we did! The quality is exactly the same. I just washed the cover the other day and it came out of the wash fine, no shrinkage. The inside bag also has a zippered opening to refill when the chair becomes deflated. I'm sure we will be using this for years." –tomoko hagane-mullins

Get it from Amazon for $70.94+ (available in three colors).

11. Put your feet up on this bean bag ottoman that's perfect for your family room/home theater.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Purchased this as a gift for my teen niece who prefers sweet and salty snacks to chocolate (pretty sure she isn't human, but I digress). She loved the assortment and its flavors. Will likely buy it for her again in future." –GossamerWriter

Get it from Amazon for $24.

13. Or, amp up the fun of your next family movie night with this versatile cotton candy maker.

amazon.com

Promising review: "First off, this small little machine packs a big punch! It is super cute and very easy to use. After experimenting with many different hard candies, we found that Dum Dums suckers – of course smashed – work the best. With one or two suckers you can make a decent amount for one person. When using hard candies, put one in at a time. Doing this actually makes more and fluffier cotton candy. Also, warm up the machine up for 10 minutes or more in advance. Combining flavors and experimenting is really fun, and you'll have a delicious result in a little amount of time!" –Dana Kiederlen

Get it from Amazon for $28.70.

Get it from Amazon for $44.32.

17. Watch movies anywhere in your home with a smartphone virtual reality headset.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I really want to get into VR gaming, but as you know some people get motion sickness. I bought this headset which of course is a lot cheaper than an oculus rift, to test if I suffer from it. I don't and that's great. I ended up using this headset quite a lot, especially during long flights. To watch 2D movies, it's like having a 80-inch TV in front of you." –Christopher Maguire Solís

Get them from Amazon for $21.74 (Compatible with iPhone 7/7 plus/6/6 plus/6s/5s/5c/5, Samsung Galaxy s5/s6/s7/s8/note 4/note 5/edge, and other 4"- 6.0" smartphones).

19. Be as cozy as this dog during every movie forever with this super soft fuzzy fleece blanket.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Had this blanket for a month now. Love love love it. Not too thick you'll die of heat, but perfect thickness to keep you warm. The size is perfect for a family of five – three small children and two adults – to cuddle up and watch a movie. But I tend to use it just myself most of the time, and wrap myself in it." –Vanessa Miller

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors and multiple sizes).

20. Fully unwind with aromatherapy as you watch with this Meyer's candle.
