    Promising reviews: "He's no average yodeler, he's 'the' yodeler, the teacher of all yodelers. He's the yodel master. And, he is my best friend. I'm beyond fortunate to have met him. I now share my home with him. You can only hope that your yodeling pickle is half as good as mine. And if not, I'm not sharing — he's mine, all mine. Hear that? So, how did my yodeling pickle and I meet? My sister gave him to me for my 23rd birthday. I was so excited, I started crying, but the streams flowing down my cheeks were tears of joy. You know what my pickle did for me next? You'll never believe it. He serenaded me with a yodel birthday song — Yodel-Aey-Eee-Ooooooo. The way those five syllables rolled off his tiny pickle tongue was pure bliss to my ears. It was divine. The voice of my yodeling pickle is sweet as honey." —B & J

    17. A holiday version of the beloved Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza game, Santa Cookie Elf Candy Snowman. This game is simple, and silly enough to keep everyone, any age, laughing and having a great time. Perfect if they are TCGCP obsessed and even it they aren't, this game is sooo popular, they'll love it after a few intense, belly laugh rounds.

    To play, pass out all of the cards to players and have everyone keep their pile face down. Everyone takes turns putting a card in the middle while saying "santa," "cookie," "elf," "candy," and "snowman," in that order. If the picture on the card that's placed down matched the word that's been said, everyone races to slap the center pile of cards, and whoever slaps the pile last has to add the center pile to their personal pile. Oh! And there's also three wildcards with matching motions. Whoever does the motion last picks up the center pile. Whoever runs out of cards first wins! You can play with three to eight players, and the *recommended* age is 8 and up.

    Andddd you could even grab the original, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza for even more fun.

    Promising review: "We love games and this one is so much fun! Easy instructions and fast paced! All ages enjoyed this game and it’s a great stocking stuffer! The holiday theme is perfect!

    Promising review: "My 8-year-old daughter purchased this for herself. She absolutely loves it and so do I! With very minimal help from me, she can make her own treats. I love that she gets a little snack/treat and the kitchen isn’t a big mess and I don’t have two dozen cookies lying around calling my name. She used to beg me to bake all the time and now I can let her because I know she’s not filling up on sugar and she doesn’t need me hovering in the kitchen to keep an eye on things. It’s amazing!" —Sherrie801

    33. A pack of Crayola Globbles that seem like they'd be a nightmare, but I swear they aren't. They'll keep kids entertained and honestly, parents may wanna have a turn playing with these babies, too. They can be squished, stacked, and slung onto the walls. Sticky residue? We don't know her, cuz these bad boys leave NONE behind.

    Their sticky powers are restored by washing them with soap and water.

    Promising review: "They were the perfect stocking stuffer! My kids played with them for days and whenever they have friends come over, it’s one of the first things they play with them too. If they get dirty, just rinse with water and the sticky returns." —RH
