We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A tin of cocktail sugar or salt so you can create cocktails way more delicious than the boring vodka soda you'd have at a bar (and no, it won't cost you $15 for one drink).
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has it and says, "I started putting this on my end-of-the-week whiskey drink (2021 made me go full Mad Men, who knew!!) and it is SO darn satisfying. I tried the citrus petals version, and it's got a light lemon, faint floral, and vaguely minty taste with its sweetness that just makes the whole experience a delight and a half. The container it comes in is actually quite wide, so what we did was pour lemon juice on the top half to prep the rim, and a bit of sugar in the bottom half to coat it. In other news, I am officially too fancy to exist."
Promising review: "I have tried more than six different brands of cocktail sugars and these are THE BEST ones. I have a cocktail a week following on Instagram and Facebook and I have had the most success with your rimmers! They taste GREAT, there's always a nice flavor in every sip, it sticks to the rim of the glass sooo well, it doesn't clump in the container like every other one I've used, and the nice hints of flavorings are a perfect blend. I have now purchased all your flavors and won't go back to any other brands." —H. FISHBURN

2. A set of LED curtain string lights to create a perfect soft, dreamy glow that will bring some hygge into your life and make you never want to leave your house again.
These string lights are also perfect for your living room and outdoor spaces, including patios and porches.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I wanted for my living room window to add a warm, cozy ambiance. They have way more settings and speeds that I even expected, so that was a nice bonus! I usually keep them on a slow fade, but I'm planning to speed it up for Christmas. These lights create a soft glow and a very relaxing environment, but you can change the mood by using different speeds. Money well spent!" —LeslieE
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors and two lengths).
3. An Unsolved Case Files Game perfect if you and your friends are obsessed with crime-solving shows and figuring out who's guilty. This game comes with all the evidence you'll need to crack this case: newspaper articles, crime scene photographs, police reports, town maps, secret letters, suspect interrogations, and more!
Promising review: "Every once in a while I come across a product that is so amazing that I want to do what I can to help the people that created the product. This Unsolved Case Files case was one of those times. My family had so much fun with this. By the end of the night we felt like we had solved a real mystery, and we felt bad for the unfortunate victims. I immediately purchased another of these files and we are looking forward to playing it as soon as it arrives. If you even *think* that this might be interesting to you then you should purchase it. It was way more fun than I was expecting, and I was expecting it to be a lot of fun. The only real downside was that we didn't really budget enough time. Our kids stayed up well past their bed time. Luckily they didn't have school the next day." —Jason Earl
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
4. A Bluetooth speaker so you can create your very own dance party in the comfort of your home and not surrounded by a bunch of sweaty strangers. Plus you get to control what songs are played right from the app screen, or you can connect it to your device.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Christine Forbes loves this speaker! She says, "If you love music, get this speaker. It'll become the center of your home listening experience. Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, and other streaming services are integrated into the app. It's also Bluetooth compatible so setting it up with my iPhone and Apple TV was really easy. I love that it displays the time and has practical uses beyond playing music. This speaker isn't that big, but it gets stupid loud (in a great way). Plus, you can connect it with other Bose Speakers through the app for a bigger listening experience."
Get it from Amazon for $379 (available in two colors).
5. A set of Crayola Globbles because honestly sometimes it's more fun to invite your friends over without having any specific agenda and just being ~weird~ together. These little gooey balls are fun to stretch, squeeze, and chuck at the wall. And before you get worried about being the host of this event, no, they don't leave any sticky residue for you to deal with.
Promising reviews: "Super duper fun. Bought my adult self something silly-fun and have no regrets. Had my niece in mind to play with them as well. Works on any kind of ceiling (tried all types except popcorn ceiling). Easy to clean and after they dry on their own they are even better than new!" —Sabrina S.
"Everyone played with these for hours. Throwing them at the ceiling and walls and each other. Trying to stick them together mid air..? Didn’t think they were gonna be so much fun. When they get dirty you wash them off. Ez Pz." —Z
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69+ (also available in 16-pack).
6. A collapsible microwave popcorn maker for those more chill nights in when you just want to curl up under a blanket with a delicious snack. Don't worry about making a bunch of dishes you'll have to clean — this bowl doubles as a serving bowl.
Just add any popcorn kernels to the bowl, drizzle some oil or butter if you feel so inclined, and pop it in the microwave. A few minutes later, you'll have perfectly popped popcorn seasoned exactly how you like it.
Promising review: "This is a fast, effective, and low-cost means to prepare popcorn. I got tired of paying a premium for microwave popcorn packets at the grocery. I didn’t want another appliance on my counter to air pop either. This was the perfect solution. I use inexpensive bulk popping corn, no oil or salt and I don’t have to worry about the metal in the microwave popcorn bags that gets extremely hot and scorches the upside down paper plate I have to put under the microwave bag each time. Plus, weren’t we told not to put anything metal in the microwave anyway? I pull the Salbree out, expand it and add a 1/4 cup of popping corn kernels in the base to the full line. I put it in the microwave for three-plus minutes and listen for the kernels to stop popping. Using the cool handles I lift it out of the microwave, give it a minute to cool and add just enough butter to give it flavor. Then I eat right out of the same bowl I cooked in. When done I dump out the few kernels that didn’t pop. I wash it out with dish soap and hot water, let it dry, and then put it away for next time. Economical, safe, less oil and salt, and only one bowl to clean. No new appliance and no metal in the microwave. Pure genius. A great value." —RobG
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 22 colors).
7. *Plus* a cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt so you can create that delicious flavor of movie theater popcorn, except this kind won't cost you an arm and a leg!!
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this: "Our family recently unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm."
Promising review: "I used to use Flavacol during my time working at an amusement park and popping popcorn for hungry guests, so I knew this was what the 'professionals' use. I am happy to report that using this does make your popcorn taste like it was just popped at a movie theater. I like to put a little bit of oil on my kernels, mix in some Flavacol, and then add it to the pot of oil on my stove top when it's hot enough (as opposed to sprinkling it on top of freshly popped corn, which I could see easily accidentally adding too much). It also means that I'm no longer loading up my popcorn with additional toppings like butter or plain salt. Yum!" —Kate R.
Get it from Amazon for $9.25+ (available in two flavors).
8. A night-light projector to create exquisite vibes that will have your friends begging to come over every night. The projector has customizable options to make the ceiling look like the night sky or calming ocean waves.
It even comes with a built-in Bluetooth music speaker so you can sync your favorite songs or audio with it, plus a remote with 10 color and dimming options so you can control it from wherever you are in the room.
Promising review: "Bought this for a galactic-themed party recently, and I'm amazed by the quality! The LED lights are crisp and clear, and very colorful on empty canvases. This can also be used for kids' rooms, gaming rooms, or for a night under the 'stars' when it's rainy out. The instructions are clear on which buttons are which on the remote control, so you can change the colors of the simulated nebulas, set timers, etc. easily." —Shin-Chiao Fang
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two colors).
9. Or, a sunset lamp so no matter the time of day or year, you can create a beautiful sunset ambiance in any room. Say hello to vibes that really elevate your night in.
Check out a TikTok of the sunset lamp in action.
Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light, but it's not too bright — I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycle. Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —amazon customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles).
10. A set of mismatched silicone cupcake baking cups because a night in isn't complete without at least one type of baked good. Now those regular old cupcakes can be elevated because this set comes with nine shapes including stars, hearts, sunflowers, and roses.
PS — people also love these for soap and bath bomb molds!
Promising review: "These are amazing!! I just started using my air fryer again and needed something to bake my muffins/cupcakes in. I bought these not knowing what to expect for the price. I was beyond impressed!! They are absolutely wonderful. I made muffins and it was a breeze. The muffins popped right out. Clean up is a breeze. I use warm water and a new toothbrush to clean it because of ridges. I am upset with one thing — I should have bought two sets, I love them so much!!!" —swyatt

12. A copy of Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist, a recipe book that will give you inspo for creative cocktails and snacks based on literary classics. You could even make a little game out of guessing which book inspired which drink.
Promising review: "Love the recipes, and the variety: simple, complex, sweet, tart, bitter, etc. The literary puns were spot-on, and I liked the idea that the drink could match both the themes at work in the story, and sometimes even the literary criticism surrounding the novel. The suggested games at the end were very funny, and the illustrations also added to the whole presentation." —Spilt Over
Get it from Amazon for $7.39+ (available as hardcover or Kindle).

Bonus — the insulation of these also keeps warm food warm longer, and cold food like ice cream colder for longer (and helps prevent your fingers from freezing!).
Promising review: "Buy these for yourself and everyone you know. They are soft and fit a variety of sizes of bowls to put under them in the microwave and eat from. My kids love them. We bought some to gift to other people too, and I will get some for my son to use at college. Made of a heavy terry cloth that can be thrown right in the washer when needed. We used towels before under our bowls, but these cradle the bowls so they are easier to hold. We bought some bigger plate sizes too." —Heidi J.
Get a set of four from Amazon for $22.99 (available in six colors).
16. An extra large blanket that would not only be incredible to snuggle up with your friends, but would make an amazing blanket fort. This bad boy measures in at 10 *feet* by 10 *feet,* like, my brain can't even comprehend how amazing it would be to have a blanket that ginormous.
Big Blanket Co is a small business that specializes in selling absurdly large blankets.
Promising review: "I was nervous that I was overindulging, but I bought it for myself for my birthday and I haven’t bought myself anything in years. Yes, years… I’m not going to lie this is the best thing I have ever bought. EVER. Sooooo worth it if you enjoy a good movie night on the couch." —Cate

Promising review: "I LOVE these cushions! The fabrics feel really nice and the cushions are springy and soft! We use these on the floor during tummy time with my lil one and they work great. I hate laying on the hard wood floor so these are perfect. We set three out together and lay there with baby. I'm obsessed with all the colors and still want the dark blue to complete my set!" —ShayMaySza
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in 11 colors).

The set comes with 48 colors of paint and three brushes.
Promising review: "Great quality watercolors…Was looking for something for beginners, easy to use, and a reasonable price and I’d say that it definitely fit all three. The quality is great and easy for a beginner like me to use, and I’d say that for the price it’s wonderful .🥰 My absolute favorite part is the detachable tray that it has to mix your watercolors. ❤️ Definitely recommend!" —Judith
Get it from Amazon for $8.48.
19. A candle-making kit so you can bring your friends over to have a ~crafty~ night at home instead of spending tons of money to go to a store to make candles. Added bonus, you can use up all those mason jars you've been hoarding for who knows what reason.
This kit includes a bag of natural soy wax (in flake form), pre-waxed and tabbed wicks, and wick-centering devices.
Promising review: "I am amazed at how easy it is to make candles! I made small mosquito-repellent candles for my wedding. I just added a colored dye and scent after I melted the wax. Was super easy and quick to make. The hardest thing for me was to wait for it to cool down and solidify. I even had my kids help. They thought it was fun to mix colors to create their own. This wax melts nicely and doesn't really have an odor by itself." —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three sizes).
20. A heavy duty pizza stone to create scrumptious pizzas, whether you've tossed the dough yourself or simply unboxed a frozen pie. Each bite of crispy crust will trick even advanced palates into thinking it actually came from a pizzeria!
It can be used on grills too!
Promising review: "Whether you make pizza from scratch or enjoy a frozen pizza from the market, this pizza stone is essential for the best at home pizza experience. Preparing your pizza on a stone assures a crispy crust and removing the pizza from the oven, on the heated stone, assures you that it will remain warm while the slices are consumed." —Steve
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes).
21. An embroidery kit perfect for beginners so you can dabble in creating intricate, hand-stitched works of art.
This kit includes needles, thread, instructions, a hoop, and stamped fabric (the stamped image is water soluble so you can remove it when you're finished to create seamless art pieces!).
Promising review: "I truly loved everything about this set of three different designs. Each was packaged separately, all arrived in a large plastic bag, which is convenient for gifting or sharing. I appreciated only receiving one hoop in this set, as well as that each design had clear directions, the threads separated neatly and was accompanied with several needles. It’s perfect for those new to needlepoint or who might be picking up the craft anew. Not too challenging, but a nice variety of different types of stitches are involved with each pattern, which makes it (for me) more engaging and fun. I highly recommend this!!" —Anna M.

Get it from Amazon for $15.26 (also available for the Kindle).
24. Or, something more family friendly (aka no murders) — a monthly subscription to Finders Seekers mystery puzzles so each month you and your friends can explore a new city through puzzles, codes that you have to decipher, and escape room challenges.
Promising review: "I have been getting Finders Seekers boxes for over a year, and I cannot lie, I'm obsessed. The mysteries are a lot of fun, and they are so much fun to do with friends, especially those that haven't done something like this before. Occasionally, the puzzles are evil (I'm looking at you, Paris box!), but the fact that after a year they can still challenge me is a good thing." —Rachel C.
Get it from Cratejoy for $26.40+/month.
25. The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook because everybody knows Disney has ~delicious~ food, but who wants to spend like $5 on one churro?! (Not to mention it's typically not easy to just *pop* on over to Disney on a random Friday night). With this book, you will be able to create your own Mickey Mouse-shaped beignets, Dole Whips, and over 100 other recipes.
Promising review: "Beautiful hardcover cookbook with so many yummy Disney recipes from the parks! There is lots of Disney foodie history in it, plus recipes that look easy to follow with high quality ingredients.

Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in 13 colors).
27. A pack of "Miracle Berry" tablets that will have you questioning everything you know about flavors. This little tablet will (temporarily) make sour foods sweet, take away spiciness, and tame down vinegar flavors. I don't know about you, but I think it would be hilarious to give one to someone without explanation and watch the absolute confusion when you make them eat a lemon 😏.
This works best and is most noticeable on fruits, vinegar-based foods, tomatoes, and sharp cheeses. They also increase saliva production, which helps enhance flavors.
Promising review: "My friend told me about these miracle berry tablets but I didn’t believe the hype around them…. They actually work and it's honestly mind-blowing the effects these have. The tablet is about the size of a nickel and you just place it on your tongue then it dissolves pretty fast, in like 45 seconds. I made sure to move it around on my tongue so it coated the entire thing. Everything I tried was delicious and sweet. Lemons tasted like really sweet lemonade, limes were sweet, spicy things like Sriracha weren’t hot. The effects lasted for at least 45 minutes which was more than enough time to taste everything I wanted, then it just starts to fade away and everything tastes normal again." —Madonna L.

Their instructions were easy to follow and they made sure that everyone in the group felt included, got the help that the needed, and that no one was left behind. A great experience!" —Brandon talking about Pasta with the Grandmas

29. A pack of modeling clay that even your least artistic friend can enjoy creating something with, even if it is as simple as a snowman made of just a few spheres of clay. Reviewers say this is the best clay that doesn't require a kiln!
Promising review: "I love this clay! It is inexpensive and great for my craft projects, and very easy for my kids to use as well. It is very lightweight when dry, so it is good for jewelry, and it is easy to sand down any rough edges. Just what I was looking for!" —Lauren Lovato
Get it from Amazon for $8.76+ (available in two colors and two sizes).

Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I got this yesterday, and my son asked me this morning if I would make him pancakes! I was happy to oblige, so I could try my new kitchen gadget, and it did not disappoint! I LOVE it! I made the batter right in the container, and it has measurements on it, so I didn't even have to get out my measuring cups. The batter came out perfectly and easily, and when I stopped the flow, it immediately stopped! There was not one dribble of batter anywhere, and the pancakes turned out perfectly! I cannot wait to make cupcakes with this! That was the main reason I bought it, because I always dribble cake batter everywhere when I try to make cupcakes, and it's a mess. I love cupcakes, but not the mess. Now I will be able to easily make them! I will most likely buy this as gifts for my family and friends as well. My advice, get it!" —Nikki
Get it from Amazon for $21.03.
31. A bottle of Drop It to put an end to the infamous *staying in to avoid being hungover* post-wine headache by removing sulfites and tannins in just 20 seconds. Now "you get the best of both worlds…" 🎶 of drinking wine without the headache or spending too much on the expensive wine with fewer sulfites.
It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and drink up!
Promising review: "I ordered this product after seeing it on TikTok with further investigation. And I must say it does work. I love sweet wine but will always get a headache the next morning (one glass). After using I did not have one the next morning 😊." —Theresa B.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

Promising review: "I love this cake maker! It makes just the right size cake for our family of four. They’re not exactly like a cake fresh from the oven, but pretty darn close! My 12-year-old son loves to use it, so much so we make a cake on a weekly basis. Since each cake only requires a half a box of mix, we don’t have to store them for long. I think they taste much better than a mug cake and are almost as easy." —Clare
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a brownie maker).
33. A set of nail stickers so you can create your own little DIY spa night without the pressure of being good at giving manicures. These are just like regular stickers, except made of nail polish.

Promising review: "Beautiful and vibrant colors as always! I will only order from this shop. I’m not sure what they do differently from other shops when making these but my wraps last weeks!!

Promising review: "When my old Crock-Pot failed after 22 years of use, I decided to buy this larger version to replace it. I'm so glad I did. I always felt like the old one was barely able to hold the contents of the recipes made for slow cookers. Last night, I made Coq Au Vin with this one and it came out perfect! Love the 'warm' function since we weren't quite ready to sit down to dinner when the cooking finished." —Marcia
