You deal all the cards out to your 2–4 players, and everyone keeps their mini-deck face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle of the table, saying one of the words "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone slaps their hand on the card in a pile as quickly as possible. The last person on the pile has to take the stack and add 'em to their cards, and whoever runs out of cards first wins!

Promising review: "This wire worked perfectly. I used it to make a neon sign, and it made an AMAZING Christmas gift!! Then I ordered it in orange, and the color was bright and true to the picture. The wire is thin and flexible and very easy to bend (without breaking), so it can be used for many things. I hot glued it to a wireframe that I formed, and it held perfectly. The battery pack was not too big and easy to use. There were three different modes that you can cycle through (continuous light, slow flash, and fast flash) by pressing the button on the pack. The wire does emit a low buzzing noise when you turn it on. If you ask me, it's no real bother. It isn't very loud and is barely noticeable for my purposes. Overall, this wire is totally cool. There are so many projects you could use it for, and nobody will have any clue how you did it!! lol. I'm very happy with my purchase and may buy more for another project in the future." —Rob
Get it from Amazon for $7.80+ (available in two sizes and in 10 colors).
15. A carbonated bubble clay mask because not only is it fun to use, but it also has the ability to detoxify their skin, remove blackheads, and exfoliate pores.
Promising review: "This mask is so fun and really feels like it deep cleans. It bubbles up a lot and will make you feel like the Michelin Man LOL — but it works great especially with deep cleaning your pores. My five-year-old loves wearing this mask and watching it bubble — and it doesn't irritate her sensitive skin which is great. I too have sensitive skin and have had no problems at all with this mask. It does get a bit tingly when it's bubbling but in a good way. This mask is great for girls' night as it's hilarious watching it bubble up on everyone. The price is great for the amount of product you get, just be careful and apply very, very lightly on the forehead and around the nose as it does bubble up thick and will go up your nostrils. Very happy with this purchase and will definitely buy again." —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

This brand also has scratch off posters for the National Parks or the 50 states!
Promising review: "I purchased this as a fun gift for my husband on our anniversary and we were able to scratch one off while we were still at dinner. The poster is thick and nice quality.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
17. A pack of space-themed notecards great for any astrophile or astrology-lover. They're so beautiful that many reviewers have framed them or used them for a wall collage.
Promising review: "This set of 50 space-themed cards is stunning and exceptionally well-made! I purchased them to hang up in my collage wall and these are perfect for that. There is a variety of colors and designs, from colorful 60s Nasa diagrams to black and white 1800s moon etchings. The cards are a stiff, quality glossy card stock. The box is also very pretty and has a nice pressed fabric cover. I would definitely recommend these postcards.' —Emily M.

19. A holographic nail polish if the person whose birthday you almost missed loves to have their nails done. This eye-catching polish will surely impress anyone who enjoys a good at-home mani pedi.
Promising review: "I painted over my existing pearl color just to try it. Went on full coverage in one coat, and dries SUPER FAST! I think I'm converted. OPI drives me nuts because it takes so long to air dry. I usually have to blow on it or put in front of a fan to speed up. ILNP dried in a couple minutes. Of course no regular nail polish is completely cured right away, but I can pick stuff up after a couple minutes without worrying about smudging." —Melissa Bucholz

Promising review: "This is a really great diffuser, especially for a first timer like myself. It's small and simple and also succeeds in freshening up my entire room. The 30-second burst is great at keeping your space feeling and smelling great throughout the day, while the continuous mode lasts for about six hours so I keep it on while I'm sleeping." —Pascal Ibe

When I came across these silicone brushes I knew I had to have them. They are amazing and the low price is a steal. These brushes really changed my routine.

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS. I'm no master chef, but this cookbook might change that: I might even become a master wizard chef! Anyways, the recipes are phenomenal. The book has a bunch of cute references, and my younger siblings go crazy whenever I make something from this book. I most recently made the meat and potato pies, which can be found on page 44." —Tigerlily
Get it from Amazon for $13.11.
29. A highly rated microfiber hair towel that is honestly the best one I've ever used. It's thick, soft, and stays in place — perfect for helping their hair dry *fast* without the added heat. Plus, the microfiber material won't make their hair frizzy like regular towels do.
I've used hair towels for years, but this one is by far the best. Since I have thick, curly hair I try to avoid adding heat to it as much as possible. This allows my hair to dry naturally MUCH faster and it prevents it from dripping all over me while I'm trying to do my skincare routine or get ready. The elastic around the trim helps it stay sturdily in place, without being irritating at all. And obviously it's super cute, which is always a bonus.

Promising review: "These masks are amazing!!! Having 'ice pick' scars left over from acne I was told that I'd have to pay for expensive laser therapy because the body can't produce enough collagen to heal deep scars. I've been using these masks for two months and I've seen SIGNIFICANT reduction in my scars. They are almost completely gone!" —Shaun

I've tried body scrubs and washcloths and neither really do a great job. I saw this product recommended by a dermatologist on TikTok and thought I'd try it, it's amazing!

Very relaxing, to use. It is light, and comfortable to hold. I don't have to worry, about straining my hands, trying to grip this. I can control the amount of pressure perfectly without scratching my scalp. I bought one for my mom, and two for me! Love these. Great gift, for the natural hair enthusiast, or anyone looking for a non-motorized scalp massager." —BunnyLove2
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
37. And a relaxing foot massager so the busybody you need a gift for can give their dogs a rest after being on them all day long.
Promising review: "I have had this product for a few days and used it several times a day for up to two minutes each time. The product is absolutely fantastic! Comfortable, easy to use — just sit, relax, and gently move your feet back and forth. Now, as for results, WOW! My feet feel so relaxed where before they always felt tight. Nerve endings are soothed. More than this, there have been all body reaching effects. For instance, I carry stress in my shoulders and neck. After a session with the massager, that area feels relaxed.
