To play, draw a red and blue disc at random to create a Venn diagram. Players then compete to find the funniest thing that they both have in common, either using the included cards or their imagination.
Promising review: "My friends and I are obsessed with this game. It's like a Cards Against Humanity situation, except you've been given two random topics and have to find something hilarious they have in common. You would think there's no way there are enough cards to make that many combinations, but there seriously are. You open the box and there are like a billion answers to the topics, so the world is really your oyster when it comes to picking the most hilarious answer you can. Highly recommend this game. I would not be surprised if this went viral on TikTok." —Neal P.

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

Promising reviews: "This is my go-to soy sauce for sushi and all Japanese dishes. The depth of flavor from aging in oak barrels is obvious, as is the nuances in the flavors, compared to the sauce aged in stainless steel. I always have a bottle in reserve." —CN
"A few years ago, a food blog evaluated soy sauce brands and put this one on top. The usual Kikkoman is fine, but this is better. I gave it a try, and... Well, now Amazon reminds me that I've purchased this product four times already. That says something; it's not like I go through soy sauce that fast. As artisanal products go, this is affordable. It's worth the experiment!" —Esther

Promising review: "It's exactly what I expected. The paper is lovely to write on, and there is just enough space to put in the day's basics.

I love, love, love this little charger! It charges my phone unbelievably fast — sometimes, I'll plug my phone in just while I'm going through my nightly routine, and the battery will be 20% fuller by the time I'm done. It lights up when connected to a device and then turns off automatically about two minutes after being disconnected. The screen changes colors depending on what type of charge it's providing (green for super, blue for fast, yellow for normal, and white for none); I'm not 100% sure what affects the charge speed, but I always get the blue light when I charge my iPhone 12. You need to supply your own cord, but I have a million of those anyway. I definitely recommend as a gift for retro design lovers!
Promising review: "So glad I got this! It changes color whenever you charge and the battery charging performance is up to par with a standard Apple charger. Its design is super adorable." —Grace B.

Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger that I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony
