Hey!

1. A board game book that'll be hidden in plain sight on their bookshelf, blending in with their color-coded, A-type decor seamlessly. Candyland just got so much cooler.
Looking for a version of your favorite game? WS Game Company has a great selection of these brilliant "books!"
Promising review: "These have adorable vintage designs! Sturdy pieces. The board is ripping a bit but we’ve played this dozens of times with our toddler so I suppose that’s expected. Definitely more pricey than the cheap version you could get for $10 at any big store but honestly it’s worth it to me. It lasts so much longer and it's easier to store. Having it in our front room on the bookshelf makes it easily accessible and blends in with our other books." —Spooky Hobbit

Promising review: "I absolutely love my little teapot. I use it on the stovetop ever morning and it is perfect. I have had mine about three weeks now and it’s doing amazing. I love using the hot water first for my morning matcha, then I add the loose tea to the remainder of the hot water for my afternoon tea. It’s perfect for me and despite being worried about putting it on the burner at first, it turns out it’s nothing to be worried about at all. It works and looks super cute!" —DeeAnna

9. A DIY neon-style sign kit with up to 9 feet of bendable light-up wire sure to be a ~bright~ spot on Christmas day when no one else figures out what to get the teenage "baby" of the family. YOU solved that problem. Good on ya!
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

Promising review: "This is extremely easy to assemble and there are tons of ways to showcase this unique lamp. It's a conversation starter for sure. I absolutely LOVE this lamp. The three dimming options exceeded my expectation and it’s perfect for lighting up an entire room or having a dim light on before bed!! I would recommend this to all my friends and family!! Heck, I’d recommend it to strangers!!" —Amazon Customer

12. An adjustable stick figure floor lamp you can give your sibling so they aren't so lonely now that they've moved away from home. If you can't hide behind their door and scare them anymore, at least this lamp can!
Promising review: "Got exactly what I expected. Not a high-end, fancy fixture, but a nicely priced, fun lamp I could drop in a corner and add some lumens to my home office. Super easy to assemble. Came with extra bolts/washers/etc. and I LOVE that. Hate when a company fails to include the required hardware for assembly. Love that they included extra! I found that once assembled and positioned, I had to go back once to tighten everything. Not sure if that was because I was not aggressive enough the first time, but once I went over it again, works great — stays in place. Want something charming, unpretentious, and fun that lights up a section of room? I recommend you consider this floor lamp." —John R.

14. A DIY miniature bookstore model that'll let them finally run their own (very) small business.
Promising review: "This model has been such an enjoyable build. As of now, I am not completely finished. Having put around 20 hours into it, I'd say I have another eight hours more to go. The pieces are all vibrantly pre-painted, with the exception of one large base piece. The glue and tweezers it comes with are perfect for the job. The cloth I had gotten for the couch was not large enough, but I improvised by using another color cloth (that also came with the kit) for the seat. The attention to detail in this little study is just first class. I even recognized books that I have read/purchased in the past within this model! I am not experienced at all with building wooden kits and I was still able to do this one perfectly with minimal struggle. I will certainly be buying more Robotime models in the near future, the greenhouse one is next :)!" —B.R.J.G.

15. A rechargeable LED dog collar for the friends who named their dog "Rocket" for a reason. With this on, walks around the neighborhood at night won't turn into an endless game of hide-and-seek.
Promising review: "Now that the evenings are getting darker...and so are the mornings...this collar is exactly what we needed for our two puppies. We got one in green and the other in blue and both are BRIGHT. It gives us peace of mind because no matter what they are up to, we can see them. I will also add in that it has added a wonderful entertainment value to our evenings because it is like attending a rave in our backyard. We get to watch two glow sticks run and wrestle; it has been pretty fun. Beyond that, it gives us peace of mind that they will be seen by others so there is a built in safety measure. We also got the leashes but haven't used them yet. I am sure after daylight savings ends, we will need them for walks. I highly recommend these collars (and leashes!)." —TReader

Promising review: "Very easy to use! I like the versatility of the zone settings and varying intensities. The cushioning is quite nice. I lay it down into my La-Z-Boy recliner and it is very relaxing!" —Donna Shreve

17. A light saber wiper blade cover if you feel ~forced~ to get the fan in your life a gift this gloriously geeky now that you know it exists.
It's reflective, so it glows! Some reviewers suggest that you attach it with a hook-and-loop adhesive, so you can easily remove and re-attach the cover as needed.
Promising review: "I bought this knowing it would just be a piece of plastic, but didn't care because I thought it would be fun to have on my car. I've received so many compliments so it definitely was a good buy." —ewitt3

19. A carbonated bubble clay mask reviewers swear by for exfoliating their skin and banishing blackheads. The selfie potential of this face mask is just gonna be a major bonus.
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

20. An adjustable lamp that sits, stays, and is sure to make them smile when the day feels ~ruff~.
Promising review: "This is a super-fun lamp with various poses. The ability to change the stance is fun for my toddler and helps develop his creativity. It looks good on our desk. I also loved that it is touch sensor activated to give it a premium look and feel. I do wish it had better cord management, so maybe a good upgrade for the manufacturer. Overall I'm satisfied and it met my expectations." —Bargain

21. A National Geographic geode kit that'll really ~rock~ if you know someone who often gets the urge to break something...and would prefer not getting in trouble.
This comes with geodes, goggles, and a display stand.
Promising review: "If you are considering this for your kiddo, please buy! My 8-year-old and I had an absoloute blast! She loves every geode. There was one we got that was more solid and she couldn't get it open, so I got to smack it with the hammer and honestly it was not only stress-relieving, but it was also fun and beautiful! Would be great as a positive outlet for stress or just for kids who love sparkly things. I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could!" —Mandii Vi

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.

26. A holographic nail polish for folks who would love having nails as colorful as their personalities. More! Is! More!
Promising review: "This is liquid rainbow for your nails. I've found that with ILNP holographic polishes, as long as I use a good base coat and base color, I only ever need one coat of the holographic polish for good coverage (which is nice since the bottles are $10 a pop). The color lasts at least a week (with a good topcoat) minimum, and the colors are truly lovely." —Nnanelle

28. A WoodWick Trilogy candle with a "scent story" made up of three different aromas. These candles replicate the sound of an actual wood fire while burning, which is key for gifting them a calming atmosphere.
WoodWick Candles are my husband's #1 favorite candle brand, and he's THE pickiest candle person I know. We both love how they crackle like a campfire and dig every single scent we've tried!
Promising review: "Beautiful bubbled glass jars. This is the most PURE smelling vanilla candle I have ever sniffed upon! 😌 When I opened it I was on a vanilla cloud. The lid is awesome too. It does a very good job at keeping the candle smell contained. I’ll be buying this brand for a while!" —Sarah Buckley
Get a large hourglass candle from Amazon for $28.48 (available in several scents).
