1. A LEGO succulent set that's pretty enough to display after you're done building it (you can arrange them solo or attach them in a bunch of different ways). Finally, a plant you can keep alive!
2. A murder mystery game to feed your true crime obsession without having to throw on another episode of Dateline. Put those detective skills to use by figuring out who killed movie theatre owner Chris Hodgson using the assorted evidence pieces in the case file — it might not be who you think.
3. A gorgeous guided tarot card kit that'll be a great intro to the world of tarot readings. Follow your intuition and draw on these mystical characters for a glimpse into the future into the different areas of your life.
4. An animal-themed sticker-by-numbers book that's as satisfying as paint-by-numbers but without the mess. Each page rips out cleanly, meaning you can frame your fave creations or turn them into greeting cards.
5. Or a diamond painting kit if you're into all things ✨sparkly✨. It's the perfect semi-mindless and repetitive activity for when you just need something to keep your wandering mind busy.
6. Or a fuse bead kit that you can use to create keychains, coasters, and even jewellery. Just lay the beads on the peg boards, go over your design with a hot iron, and voilà!
7. A vision board kit filled with everything you'll need to map out all of your goals and wishes for the year. The board is foldable, so you can choose to display it or tuck it away to keep it for your eyes only.
8. A copy of Highway to Hell so you can relive one of your favourite childhood thrills of discovering multiple storylines in a book. It's an adult choose-your-own-adventure set in a zombie apocalypse that'll put your survival skills to the test.
9. A compact Cricut Joy machine so you can customize anything and everything. It can cut and write, meaning you can go wild with creating everything from vinyl stickers, T-shirt designs, cards, and more.
10. A pottery wheel kit so you can create a few vases or dishes that you can actually use after. It comes with air-dry clay, so you won't have to worry about firing up your oven to set your artwork.
11. Or a polymer earring set if you prefer to make wearable creations. It comes with enough supplies to make 12 pairs of earrings, and you can get creative with the colour combos you put together.
12. A 1,000-piece puzzle filled with sunny scenery and cute characters. There's a magical surprise at the end that'll make it the coolest puzzle you've ever done — no spoilers, though!
13. A copy of Super Skills where you and your friends can compete in different challenges until someone completes ten. Reviewers love that unlike traditional board games, the rules are straightforward and every challenge is interactive with all the included props.
14. A candle-making kit so you can put together some seriously scrumptious-smelling creations from the comfort of your home.
15. An embroidery kit that comes with everything you'll need to create three floral designs worthy of framing and putting up on your wall. Reviewers like that there are a lot of different stitching techniques to practice.
16. A copy of Eat What You Watch by Andrew Rea (AKA Binging With Babish) full of on-screen recipes, so instead of watching your favourite shows and movies, you can make and eat the foods from them, which is even better if you ask me.
17. A teeny hobby tool kit to assemble and fix up your mini figurine collection. It's beginner-friendly and comes with a guidebook full of tips and tricks.
18. A fossil dig kit that'll satisfy your inner archeologist and teach you something new in the process. The fossils inside are all real, and you can learn more about them with the included guide.
19. A bottle of Inkbox freehand ink so you can test out different tattoo designs all over your bod without the commitment (it only lasts about one-to-two weeks).
20. And lastly, a UV lamp so you can have a screen-free self-care night and pamper yourself with a mani/pedi. It'll cure your polish quickly, so you can be on your merry way without worrying about smudges.
