Promising review: “I got this for my grandma for Christmas. Absolutely everyone loved it and she got a huge kick out of it. I told her at least with this puzzle, she won’t be done in an hour. :)” —Mallory Jo
Rainbow Jenga, a great purchase for design lovers and game masters alike.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’m very pleased! Smooth-quality paint with solid, heavy wood blocks. Nice colors. Purchased two (for more block options) and wrote on them with a Sharpie to make a custom family game. Love the idea of the colored dice as an added twist. This was a great purchase! Might order another to create a drinking game ;)” —Imneuse
A charming kit for building your own tiny, mouse-sized library.
Amazon
The kit comes with 30 books to make by cutting, folding, and gluing them together. The box even converts into a bookshelf once you finish making the books.
Listen, scrunchies rule. They’re gentle on your hair, they don’t leave indents on your wrist, and they’re a great fashion accessory. End of discussion.
The kit comes with 24 icing tips, three couplers, three icing bags, and a box.
Promising review: “So far I have only used this kit once but I loved it! The blue sleeves were super easy to clean. There were so many different nozzles to chose from it, and it was great to have all of those options. I am a messy baker and this really helped met to keep the cupcakes looking clean and classy.” —Amazon Customer

This is the best thing I have ever bought for my dry, dry hair. I use it after shampoo and before conditioner (I left it sit for about five minutes per shower) and the results are staggering. My hair is so much more manageable and silky now. This works so much better than waaayy more expensive hair masks that I’ve tried. I seriously never want to ever be without it ever again.
Avocado Smash — a fast-paced game to enjoy with the family members that are still in town.
Amazon
You need at least two players to play but there is no limit to the amount of players. Whoever is most obsessed with avocados goes first. You start by putting down cards and saying what number turn it is. Once you hit 15, start over. If a player puts down a number card and it matches the number they say out loud, everyone needs to place their hands in the middle. Last person to put their hand down has to take up all the cards. There are also guacamole, smash, and reverse cards to keep things interesting. The first person to get rid of all their cards wins.
Promising review: “I bought this for my granddaughter. My granddaughters love to sit down and play board games every weekend and have a ball doing it. But this is a game-changer. 🙂 They got it out and were playing it in their room and I heard screaming and laughing and fun noises, coming from the room. It is a fast paced, easy to learn, very competitive game they absolutely loved. I have never heard this reaction from any game they played, and everyone of them had fun doing it. No exceptions. I think it is a great way to bring your family together for good quality time, and this will keep them off the devices for a while and bring everyone a bit closer together for moments of fun and memories. Get it! :)” —Millie The Writer
Promising review: “Exactly as advertised. Great price point to test out this trend. I received many compliments my first time wearing these. I did not experience any issues with breakage yet. Highly recommended!” —Amazon Customer
A set of fragrant bath bombs for enjoying a little R&R after the holiday season — you deserve it.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have a bathtub addiction and am a five to six night a week bathtubber, so when I say I’ve tried all the bath bombs Amazon provides, I’m serious. I keep going back to these, not only because of the price but because they actually work well. They don’t have all those annoying glitters, and the scent actually sticks to your skin and serves a hydration purpose. I can’t say enough how much I love these over the 10 to 12 other brands I’ve tried.” —JH
A little sheep who’s happy to keep your TP rolls organized. Admit it, you want it baaadly.
Amazon
Every time you use the TP, it’ll be like you’re shaving the sheep, lol.
Promising review: “It’s practical and cute how can you go wrong! We opted to mounting it because of limited bathroom space and it was really easy to install. It’s holds a lot of toilet paper and you can stack much more and it just looks like a super fluffy sheep! Looks great in our bathroom and helps in storage if extra toilet paper.” —Chezi Z.
Promising review: “I’m a guy that cares about my skin. I’m 40 and our rough Chicago winters wreak havoc with my combination skin. I bought this pack on an impulse. Omg! The first night I used the herbal one. I read the ingredients and the mask smelled exactly like what it said it was. I could feel it working and when I took it off, the effect was instant. My skin was literally flawless and not for five minutes! It stayed tight and moisturized all day. I love these masks even though they’re quite messy to apply. Ordered more. At this price and effect, this product is a steal!” —PaulP
An Instant Pot that’ll change the way you cook in 2020. It’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker, and warmer all rolled into one nifty kitchen gadget.
Amazon
This handy kitchen gadget has seven functions: rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer! Check out our review of the Instant Pot!
Promising review: “This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is ‘What can’t it do?’ I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the three-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the eight-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!” —Stereoman
Price:$59.92+ (available in three sizes and colors)

An eyeliner stamp for getting perfect wings every 👏 single 👏 time 👏.
Amazon
Promising review: “Let me start by saying this isn’t my first cat eye rodeo. I’ve tried the taping method, tried normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! So when I saw this I thought, meh, why not give it a shot… It’s not like my hopes were high since nothing else has been efficient or worked as it should.
I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES…LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There was no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line.
I love that it has two ends as well, one with the stamp and one with a thin tip so you can connect your liner and cat eye. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass and everyone can think I spend hours doing my make-up in the morning.” —LadyMeow

A 1,000-piece murder mystery puzzle that’s basically two forms of entertainment in one! Once you piece together the puzzle, you can piece together the whodunnit by reading the included booklet.
Amazon
Promising review: “My parents bought one of these puzzles at the beginning of quarantine and recently sent me one. I forgot how enjoyable puzzles are, y’all! Space is limited in my small apartment so I actually put it together on my living room floor. (Honestly, a puzzle mat would have been great because we basically had to avoid the corner of the room where the puzzle was.) It was nice to take a short break during work and piece together the puzzle bit by bit. My partner and I also enjoyed having a shared activity since we usually go do our own thing after dinner; this was a nice way to bond even though we spend basically 24/7 together.” —Melanie Aman, BuzzFeed Staff
A set of 150 questions inspired by the Love Language test to deepen your connection with your SO even more. There’s only so many times you can ask them what they want for dinner, after all.
Amazon
Promising review: “My boyfriend and I have been together for a really long time and this game was still so much fun! We played it after a night of drinking wine and cooking so we were pretty honest during these questions. We almost went through the whole deck in one sitting but finally put it away so we can play again.” —Chelsbells32
Promising review: “I love this mask. I have combination skin, oily in spots and dry in others. This stuff works miracles on my blackheads, and my skin feels awesome. I will say that I definitely feel like I need to moisturize afterwards but you should anyway.” —Kristina

Promising review: “I purchased these for a friend’s birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin’ AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!” —T. Redwood
Promising review: “Best sweatpants ever. I can’t explain how genuinely happy I am that these pants fit. I have trouble finding pants that fit AND are comfortable AND look good and i just found all three. These pants are very comfortable and soft but not see through even if you stretch it. The material seems thin enough to let you breathe but thick and durable enough to last one to three-plus years. (Hard to tell based on one wear, will update as time goes by.) Ordered a 3x and it fits perfectly. I also usually hate wide waistbands especially on my belly but this one is very soft and just mostly feels like extra layers of fabric, but is still pretty secure on your waist. Will definitely buy multiple pairs. :)” —Stacey
Price:$9.99+ (available in women’s sizes S-3X and dozens of colors)

A compact mini donut maker to turn your kitchen in the bakery you always knew it could be. Time to unveil your latest strawberry milkshake donut to the world!
The donuts cook within minutes, have an auto shut-off to stop them from overheating, and come with a recipe book that even includes gluten-free and Paleo-friendly options. Bonus? They don’t even need to figure out how to make donuts — this machine will take store bought brownie, muffin, and cake mix just fine.
Promising review: “Absolutely awesome. It took me about five minutes to make the dough for these amazing donuts and it took only one and a half minutes to have them hot and ready. Love it when Dash comes out with new products so my family and I can continue to make wonderful memories especially during this quarantine.” —TJ Davis
