Modeling clay I’ll probably purchase for my next weekend project because — not to brag — but my middle school art teacher told me I had promise. Over 19,000 reviewers (both full-fledged artists and newbies alike) swear that this air-hardening clay is easy to sculpt and wonderful for the price.

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 $7.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).

The Adventure Challenge, a book on a mission to save your Friday nights henceforth. Here’s how it works: Each ~activity~ is concealed with icons to indicate length of time, prep-work required, etc. Simply scratch off the boxes to reveal an out-of-the-box plan — complete the activity, write a blurb about it, and stick on a printed photo.

the three books


The Adventure Challenge

This scratch-off book is available in four versions — couples, family, friends, solo — so you can receive customized recs based on participants. I personally own and adore the couples version… me and my fiancé were prompted to build a fort, roast marshmallows, and put on a movie. ‘Twas the most fun we’ve had in, like, a year.

You can also purchase the bundle pack ($147.99) that comes with their signature camera.

Promising review (couples edition): “We have done about six of the dates so far. We have laughed harder than we have in a long time. I have been touched by the thought that went into each of the dates. It is clear that they are not just thrown together, there is a purpose behind each of the “rules” of the date. I would say if I had made up the dates my husband would have balked, so it helps to have it be from a third party with the requirement to commit. There has not been a date so far that we haven’t thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from. My husband LOVES it and has wanted to do several dates in a weekend (our original goal was to do one a week). For perspective we are in our forties and have been married for 22 years. It has been a bit reminiscent of our early dating years and reminded us to be more adventurous. So fun to shake it up! The only way you get the benefit is if you fully commit and go for it. Break out of your self-made boundaries! You strengthen your bond by shared experiences that invoke emotion: laughter, uncertainty, vulnerability in trying new things.” —Terrell

A virtual experience via Amazon Explore, a way for you to stroll the streets of Prague, explore the mysteries and ~magic~ of a renowned Edinburg cemetery, take a Tokyo-based cooking class, and more — all while your tush remains firmly planted on a couch.

the Edinburg cemetery


Amazon Explore

Check out the below review for the “Mysteries, monsters and magic: explore Edinburgh’s unusual tales”:

“I lived for the better part of a decade in the UK and took any opportunity I could to visit Scotland. It’s been some years since my last visit to Edinburgh and this was a wonderful way to reacquaint myself with a city I love. And I didn’t even have to put on real clothes too do it! Even better: I earned a bunch of bonus points with my girlfriend for accidentally coming up with a great brunch date idea.

Angus was our guide and he was simply superb. His enthusiasm for showing off his hometown really elevated the whole experience. Though 60 minutes with him wasn’t nearly enough time it never felt rushed and his anecdotes, stories, and cultural allusions filled the time we did have perfectly. Don’t expect a whirlwind tour of the entire city; this is a fairly relaxed stroll that barely scratches Edinburgh’s total geography, but with centuries of history embedded in virtually every brick and cobblestone you won’t feel cheated.” —foundgum

A portable paint palette set for anyone who fancies themself a modern-day da Vinci (one with a stronger appreciation of eyebrows). Reviewers swear that the paint quality is fantastic for the price, plus the palette is refillable which means cha-ching! Money saved in the long run.

The full paint palette set with 18 cups of paint


Amazon

You’ll get 18 colors (including two white).

Promising review: “Colors are vibrant and opaque, while still drying matte. They’re easily workable and the inclusion of two white pans is a huge plus for me, as it’s always the color that goes first! The palette itself is durable and well-made, snapping tightly into place when you’re ready to store your paints. At first I was concerned about the colors drying, but frankly there’s so much paint that I don’t see that happening anytime soon as long as I continue to spritz them with water and stir them a bit occasionally. My favorite aspect of this palette is the amount of paint in each cup, I often find myself being afraid to waste paint with my more expensive tube gouache, but that’s not an issue at all with this palette. Overall, this is an amazing palette for people who are learning gouache, and experienced artists alike. It gives you a genuine gouache experience, and lends itself to lots of experimentation without fear of wasting expensive paint.” —analee

Promising review: “This was my first ever 3D puzzle so I was a little worried about the difficulty level. I enjoy doing Legos but wanted something a little different so I decided I would try something like this. Absolutely loved it!

Great puzzle and I am very happy with my purchase!” —Matt McSwain

Was done in about an hour. The most challenging part was having to cut a strip for the top row of tiles underneath the cabinets. I cannot attest to how long they will last, but the adhesive on the back seems pretty good! Can’t really beat it for the price!

Promising review: “My 9-year-old niece gets these every year for Christmas. It is a new gift every time! She loves to put on safety glasses and swing that hammer! The geodes are always beautiful. She also loves the element of surprise! This is a wonderful gift that will engage even kids who are not into the sciences. Every year she takes pieces to share with her class. She also loves to give pieces away as little gifts or mementos. Nat Geo never disappoints!” —Kristin D.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (goggles are included).
