7. Sussed — a card game that unearths fun lore about your friends as you play. It's the perfect ice breaker at parties and kid-friendly enough for the whole family to enjoy. 

Amazon

Here's how it works: One player pulls and reads out a multiple-choice question card. For example: I'd rather A. write a horror book, B. make a horror film, or C. run a haunted house. The player would put down a card matching their answer face down, and the other players have to guess the correct answer. The prompts are silly and designed to get people talking. There are over 200 wacky questions stuffed in a travel-friendly box. 

The game takes about 15 minutes and can accommodate up to eight players.

Promising review: "Great game for kids aged eight or older. Great imagination stimulator and helped my son ‘want’ to read. I don’t think he knew he was practicing reading, as this was a fun game to stimulate conversation. We take this game on car rides." —emily

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four styles).

8. A Lego Pixar lamp that I can almost hear. The set comes with fun Easter eggs (Pixar refs) you'll discover as you build. Once you're done, the nostalgic build can be displayed in two ways — next to ball or crushing it like a grape. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I LOVE IT! Great for any Pixar fan! Officially one of my favorite Lego builds. It was easy and I was able to finish it in less than two hours, which is fast for me because I have two young kids and hardly ever get to finish my Lego builds in one sitting. AND super cool mini hidden surprises." —Lucy G

Get it from Amazon for $69.94.

Get it from Amazon for $23.20.

10. Aroll-back Halloween racer toy if you're looking to recreate the Monster Road Rally from Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf. All right, everyone place your bets: I got money on the bat to take first place (the wings surely have to help).

12. A duckin' adorable chair pillow offering you some extra comfort when you hunker down for your next round of Zoom calls. Nooooo, the duck is not screaming — he loves when you sit on him! That's the face of a duck experiencing zero fear or agony. Go ahead and flatten the bird some more. Jokes aside, reviewers say it's soft and cute, and even works as a pet bed. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is a little smaller than maybe what I was expecting. Regardless, it is still very comfortable. I spend a lot of my time sitting on the computer but don’t have a legitimate desk chair, and this has definitely been a breath of fresh air for my rather unforgiving wooden kitchen chairs. Plus, I was looking for something cute and fun to bring some more color to my apartment, and this adorable duck definitely accomplishes that. I think it would be extra perfect for kids, too!" —Claire Rorick

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

13. A "Penny the Penguin" silicone measuring cup in case you want to cuteify everything in your cabinet. Unlike your old glass measuring cup, this soft silicone one will make it easy for your little one to help with cooking. If someone drops it, it won't break!

Get it from Amazon for $19.95

14. A chicken zen garden that's obviously very funny, but also pretty helpful when you're having a really stressful day. Throw on some clucking background noise and get to work naming your flock. I'm thinking Henrietta, Mary Shell-y, Cluck Kent...

We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

Get it from Amazon for $6.80.

17. A set of vintage-inspired spoons — if these aren't cottagecore, I don't know what is. Set them out at your next tea party and let the compliments roll in. Praise for your good taste? Sweeter than two lumps of sugar.  

Amazon, www.amazon.com

These ceramic beauties are hand-wash only. 

Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" —Lindsey

18. A"Gracula" garlic crusher that ironically helps you with one of the most tedious chores in the kitchen. Just throw in the peeled cloves, twist, and feel grateful you Let the Right One In...to your kitchen. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

20. A1,000-piece pooping-dogs puzzle that everyone will have a doggone good time putting together. Sure, some people prefer peaceful meadows or beautiful mountainscapes on their jigsaw, but sometimes a squatting beagle is even better. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Really good quality and soooo funny. This puzzle is great! Honestly because it’s sort of a funny prank gift, I thought it wasn’t going to be good quality. But it’s actually REALLY nice! The pieces are thick and good quality and a huge variety of shapes that fit together really well. We are big puzzle fans and this one turned out to be one of our favorites — it’s funny, fun to do, and a really nice, solid puzzle! I will totally buy this again for a gift!" —A. Kay

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three styles, including a 100-piece version, and in matching coasters).

Promising review: "I used these for a prank on my roommate and stuck eyes everywhere. They come in different sizes, some small and some big. They are pretty durable, as we keep finding them on different random objects. They were even stuck onto a door, and stayed the entire time we lived in that apartment. They are easy to use, as the back is sticky. They also put a lot in the single tin." —Flint_Ste.el

Get a tin of 150 from Amazon for $8.95.

25. A sweet pair ofscissors housed in a fruit-shaped magnet holder your child can proudly display in their locker — it'll also make it easy to actually find those darn things when they need them. Might as well also grab a pair for yourself because they'd look soooo cute on your fridge.

27. A candy, fruit, or bunny cat cap that will have everyone in tears laughing — except for the cat, of course, who will NOT find it funny at all. Snowball can consider it payback for knocking your best candle on the ground.

amazon.com, amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review (for the fruit cap): "Well worth the laugh. The cap is very thin, much like Barbie doll clothing material. But the stitching is nice and the cap has ruched elastic under the chin, so it will fit a bigger cat head. Mine is 15 pounds, so he has a bigger head. It will flatten your kitty’s ears, but his are stumps anyway, which is probably why he tolerates this more than he might otherwise. Thrilled I got the orange, he is certified orange meow." —RB

Get a randomly selected design from Amazon: the candy for $4.99, the fruit for $7.99, or the bunny ears for $7.99.

28. An opossum toywho somehow managed to not only get a driver's license but also find a street-legal peanut to drive into town. Congrats, 'possum!

Amazon

Just pull it backward to make it go! Archie McPhee is a small business that has been selling quirky goods for over 30 years.

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

29. A solar-powered frog figurine with a lantern that lights up when the sun sets. Guests will love having a lil' friend welcome them with a cozy glow each night, especially now that the days are starting to get a little shorter again. :(  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this! It’s well painted, and the solar light works great. It is the cutest thing on my patio table." —solowithpits 

Get it from Amazon for $16.77

30. A pack of woodland creatures happy to help in any way they can. Need that bag clipped, Snow White? You got it!

Amazon

Promising review: "These chip clips work great and have been a huge hit since we got them. Have been used across the kitchen, in cabinets, on the counter, and in the fridge, while holding closed different types of food bags. It has held up for a few months, with the designs still looking new." —ProNerd

Get a set of six from Amazon for $7.32.

31. A paw-some mug warmer to heat up drinks, candles, and wax melts. There's a little screen on the cat's forehead that tells you the temperature so you can keep your drink or candle at the *purrfect* temperature. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Tip: Warming a candle instead of lighting lets you enjoy the fragrance without dealing with an open flame. It also extends the life of the candle, so this thing kind of pays for itself. The feet are meant to be used as a phone holder, but personally, I would not put my phone on a hot object. 

Promising reviews: "I thought I’d try putting my wax melt in there and see how long it would take to melt. It took less than five minutes to melt it!! Also, it feels kinda heavy and dense, like it was made out of good material. I love it. 😭 It's gonna be good for my tea time AND make my office smell good." —Allisen

"I'm a teacher, so I NEVER get to finish my coffee in one sitting. This thing has made my day so much better. No matter how long ago I made my coffee, each and every sip tastes like it was just brewed. Very happy!" —Amanda Fausto

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in nine styles and one option with an included mug).
