With small amounts, it feels easier to play and experiment." —Monica

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people hold onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable for different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and those willing to try things differently. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you, and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

Some elements are even made from plant-based plastic, so yeah, the designers really went above and beyond. Check out these beauties in a TikTok from @shaelorend. 

Promising review: "I wasn’t expecting this to take as long as it did; I see why people do this with someone else. But it was even more fun to do this by myself and watch my shows. The instructions are in picture form and detail, which pack is which. Some of the pieces can be similar, and you have a couple of pieces left behind, but I think they’re a weird form of 'extras.' But if you’re not super messy or plan on moving these around too much, you won’t have to worry about the pieces, but keep them safe. I love how these will never die and look forward to another set of forever flowers to build! :)." —Bri J.

www.amazon.com, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

Yeah, yeah, I know this coloring book is for adults, and I've got a gif of my toddler scribbling away up there *but* that's because I got this to share with my kid while on a five-hour flight over the holidays. And you better believe I was the one who was most entertained! Well, me, and all the other romantasy readers on the flight who caught what my kid was coloring on. We all got a good laugh. This coloring book is way better than it has any reason to be. The pages are thick, the illustrations are detailed and interesting, and the quotes pulled from the books make it even more fun. 

BTW, I got these colored pencilsfor myself (great travel pack) and these crayons for my kid. Both were great on the flight! 

Promising review: "I'm so glad I got this coloring book. The illustrations throughout are gorgeous, and I love the quotes opposite each picture. It's detailed but not to the point of being stressful to color. The pages are nice and thick, smooth to blend. The style in which it's drawn makes for a nice guide if you decide to do some shading. It's been years since I've done any visual art, but I've been relaxing and enjoying this each night. I recommend soft colored pencils as opposed to the harder, more waxy ones. I am using Faber-Castell soft pencils in the attached photo. Unfortunately, I tore part of a different page by trying to blend and burnish with too firm pencils, so just keep that in mind. Slowly add your layers and enjoy the process." —Mary

Amazon

Promising review: "This is a favorite game to bring with the family on trips. Everyone can play, from the 3-year-old to the 36-year-old, and it's super easy to teach new people (grandma, visiting friend, etc.). Each game can be as short as you need, so we like to bring it to restaurants or doctors' offices where waiting is inevitable. The game is very compact in the tin and good as long as it's not wet or windy (there is a waterproof version though!)" —Sunny Lee

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've been wanting to dive into tarot for some time now. I wanted to find a deck that I could relate to. I've always related to the 'bad guys' in Disney. If you think about it, they're not really bad, just misunderstood. Anyway, when I saw this deck, I knew I had to have it. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. The sturdiness of the cards is amazing. I don't feel like I'm going to crush them as I shuffle. The guidebook is very informative, with actual examples of interpretations. I'm very pleased with my first tarot deck." —kinni

Get it from Amazon for $23.24.

11. Beyond Bored, a 200-page activity book intended for entertaining adults in the most surprising (and hilariously mundane) ways possible. Its spiral-bound design makes it super easy to enjoy on the go, and the activities range from the "sensible sedan coloring sheet"  to "complete the drawing tasks," involving trash raccoons who wish they were in Paris. One reviewer complained that there are too many haunted dolls in this book, and I've gotta say...that's when I knew I had to have it. 

Amazon

Promising review: "This has the perfect mix of humor, creativity, and randomness to keep things interesting. The activities are clever and unexpected, definitely not your typical word searches and crossword puzzles. It’s a fun way to unwind and take a break from screens. And the quality of the book is great, with a nice design and plenty of quirky prompts that make you think (or just laugh). If you’re looking for something unique to pass the time or a fun gift for someone who enjoys a little wit and absurdity, this is a great choice! There are many, many 'naughty' words, so definitely keep away from kids." —Lainey

Get it from Amazon for $13.82.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

To get the cat eye effect, apply one layer, cure with a UV light for one minute, add a second layer, and use the included magnet to move the glitter into the desired formation. A few reviewers didn't find the magnet to be strong enough, so you might want to grab this magnet kit as well. 

Promising review: "I've been doing my nails for years, and this was so fast and fun to use. I always wanted cat eye polishes in my collection, and this was perfect! Especially for Christmas time! I will say they are thick, and I'm guessing that's because they're pigmented and packed with the little magnetic bits for maximum shine and glimmer. I feel like I have the Northern Lights on my nails! I would recommend playing on a few test nails beforehand to get a handle on the different patterns you can make with the magnet. Overall, would recommend it for anyone wanting something easy and fun!" —Hailey

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in various set and color options).

13. Or a set of Olive & June press-on nails — a glue-free temporary manicure that reviewers say looks and feels as strong as dip manis. These use tabs instead of glue, making them super simple to take on and off when you're simply looking to change up your nails as a source of entertainment.

Promising review: "These tab press-ons are perfect! They have it all: fun colors, a cute pattern, and they're so easy to apply. I got so many compliments on these, and I did them from the passenger seat of the car. If you're going to get one pair of tab press-ons, let it be these!" —Taylor F.

Promising review: "This is an amazing idea and so fun! The prompts are amazing to unlock a creative block if you feel like drawing but don’t know *what*. It’s also a super fun screen-free activity to do with my 8-year-old — she draws the cards and we each make an illustration, all the while discussing ideas and why they work. I’m buying two more sets for gifts. This is perfect for kids and adults!" —Megan Theile

Fun fact: This was the most funded puzzle on Kickstarter, raising over $3 million.

Promising review: "Just got this puzzle for something to do at home over the holidays. Seriously... I have never seen a puzzle quite like this! It’s very impressive and exceeded my expectations already. The packaging is beautiful inside and out. Everything about it shouts quality. I particularly liked the envelopes inside for the puzzle pieces and mystery. Heavy weight and substantial. The one holding the 1,000 puzzle pieces stays closed with Velcro! How cool! And the secret mystery envelope has a cool string loop tie. Makes you remember you can’t open it until the puzzle is done. The whole vibe of The Mystic Maze is quality and fun, and also looks like a challenging puzzle. Looking forward to getting started on this. Certainly a good stay-home fun activity. Highly recommend!" —Kyle Fletcher

Like the brand says, "These aren't your grandma's puzzles."

Different Puzzles

Every puzzle is made in the US using 100% recycled cardboard. They come in 1,000 and 500 pieces, and all are 20 x 27 inches when completed. 

My husband and I spend a lot of our nights listening to audiobooks and doing puzzles (and spend many mornings picking up the puzzle pieces our cats have knocked off the table while we slept). The cheekiness of this brand interested us both, and we got the Floravision version above. We *loved* working on a puzzle with surprises in the illustration. It was engaging, frustrating, and SO fun finding and connecting pieces without knowing how they would fit in with the end product. The end? It was gorgeous. We've framed ours and put it on our wall (but I'm not showing you...because I don't want to spoil the surprise end result!).

Some pieces broke, so be sure to be patient while cutting them out. I glued the broken ones back together with no problem. This works with a motion sensor, but you can access the battery pack from the back, which is really convenient! The most tedious part of this is making the books, but after that, it goes pretty fast!

Promising review: "This is a delightful and fun book. If you've ever been to someone's home where their toilet paper is embellished, you would be thinking, 'How do they do that?' This is a fun, inexpensive way to spend some time relaxing and learning toilet paper origami. Who knew? My daughter and granddaughters love it as a craft. Don't bash it 'til you've tried it! You can even leave cute rolls of spare tissue around the bathroom." —Kindle Customer BGCW
