1. This giant colorable map (that actually doubles as a unique tablecloth) you and your family members can spend hours unleashing your creativity upon.
2. A mesmerizing gradient puzzle that may have you racking your brain for a couple of hours but will be totally worth it when the finished product fills you with tranquility (and triumph, of course).
3. These pieces of colorful embroidery floss for anyone who has ever spent countless hours braiding friendship bracelets — or for anyone who would like to finally learn how!
4. A screaming goat figurine (yes, THE screaming goat figurine) bound to make you laugh for hours (especially if you, like me, would be tempted to use it as a prop for harmless pranks on your sibling).
5. This over-the-door basketball hoop because it lets you practice your shots without even leaving your warm, comfy bed.
6. A deck of 60 dream decoder cards so you can spend a couple of minutes (or hours) figuring out what the heck your subconscious has been trying to tell you for these past couple of nights.
7. This collection of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books that'll have you and your roommates biting your nails and clutching each other in fear as someone narrates the spooky stories.
8. A teeny, tiny Rubiks cube because the normal-sized version is just way too easy and you're totally up for the added challenge of rotating each row without fumbling *too* much.
9. This whacky tube dude you and your doggo will no-doubt have oodles of fun playing around with as this little guy waves, bows, and dances all day long.
10. A pack of origami paper so you can give your hands something to do while you learn how to fold everything from paper cranes to tiny jewelry boxes.
11. This v. useful guide on caring for a variety of houseplants in case you wanted to use some of your boredom to figure out why you always wind up killing yours.
12. A jar of ultra pretty unicorn slime because there's just something about slime that soothes us with every stretch and squish. And, no, you don't need to be a kid to play with this for hours on end.
13. A subscription to Home Chef because you've gotta eat dinner at some point, so you might as well channel that extra pent-up boredom into a delicious pork chop meal. They'll send you everything you need — no grocery store run necessary.
14. A Dolly Parton coloring book you'll spend endless hours making come to life, not unlike the woman herself with the lively personality.
15. This mini game of indoor cornhole if you're just soooo bored you could throw something (just don't throw the lamp).
16. A calligraphy kit because it'll satiate your daily boredom *and* leave you with the most beautiful penmanship in your entire family once you keep on practicing. Fair warning: everyone will be asking you to design their Christmas cards now.
17. This set of 50 Friends trivia cards you can challenge your roommate to play to see who really watched all 236 episodes and who just pretended they did.
18. An Instax Mini 9 camera that'll have you unleashing your inner photographer as you journey to your backyard to snap beautiful photos of the budding spring flowers, or of your cat as they lay down for an afternoon nap.
19. This harmonica because you've been saying for years that you'd like to learn a new instrument so, honestly, why the heck not?? And since it's under $10, you won't have to deal with the financial kick to the stomach of investing in a $400+ clarinet only to realize you hate it and don't wanna keep playing.
20. A Paint by Numbers kit that'll have you basically churning out gorgeous, painted masterpieces on the daily. It gives you a numbered canvas and numbered paints so you can pretty much create something gorgeous on your first try — even if you don't think you have the confidence or skills to transform a couple of paint jars into an ocean scene in Hawaii.
21. This cat's cradle set for anyone who used to spend hours coming up with tricks and games with just a piece of string to entertain themselves and the whole family.
22. A book of 50 crossword puzzles from The New York Times that's perfect for the word nerd who wishes Wheel of Fortune lasted more than just 30 minutes a day.
23. And this homemade chocolate truffle kit because unwrapping a candy bar and inhaling it lasts just two minutes, but this kit lets you savor the fun by whipping yourself up a batch of decadent truffles.
