Wavelength is a social guessing game where players take turns being "the psychic" and try to get their teammates to correctly guess the location on the spectrum dial that is associated with their clue.

BuzzFeed editor Danielle Healy has this to say about the game: "Everyone I know who has played this game loves this game! Brother, boyfriend, mom — everyone! You learn a little about the "psychic" every time, and it's incredibly flexible to accommodate huge fluctuations in players (2—20). It's a simple concept with a lot of depth since you have to adjust your thinking every round to match that of the 'psychic.'"

Promising review: "This game is so fun! My husband and I pick one card and if the question is a little more difficult we put it on the fridge and give each other time to answer. Has added a little more genuine conversation into our weeknights raising two girls." —Derrek & Abby

For Elementary puzzles, they need to find the suspect, location, and weapon. For Occult Medium puzzles, the added challenge is that the murderer always lies, and the other suspects tell the truth! For Hard Boiled puzzles, they also need to find a motive. And for Impossible puzzles, they have to discover all four elements and deal with the lying witness statement from the murderer. Each puzzle has a logic grid to help them keep track of the evidence. 

Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, storylines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes, but this one will keep me busy for a while!" —Liz Gately

And when you need more puzzles check out Volume 2 for $9.51.

Promising review: "Like most seekers of knowledge I am always searching out unusual and unique books on a wide range of topics. When I saw this huge hardcover 704-page book on Amazon for a bargain price, I just had to have it. The twenty-two chapters cover an enormous amount of interesting and informative information on numerous topics. If you love books that are full of facts and information on a wide range of subjects, you need to have this book in your personal or even public library donation." —Joseph J. Truncale

The Wine Savant is a New York-based small business established in 2017 that specializes in unique, quality drinkware and accessories. 

Promising review: "Love these! Wasn’t ready to splurge on Estelle stemmed glasses so I got these instead. I’ve run them through the dishwasher once so far, and they held up fine. Glass is thin near the top, which I love in a wineglass. I would recommend!" —Tricia

Promising review: "I purchased this as a Christmas present for my sister, who loves the normal printed Sudoku puzzles. It was fun for us to solve together while celebrating holidays and she still plays today. It also looks great as a coffee table or shelf display. It would also be a good cognitive game to practice problem/puzzle solving and fine motor skills." —Katherine B.

Promising reviews: "I have purchased several custom stamps from this company; fast shipping and quality products make these the best gifts!" —Suzanne

"Got this for a friend who loves books and is always loaning them out to other friends. Great quality, and the design was exactly what I ordered and imagined. The time between the order and receiving it was a quick turnaround as well. Thinking of ordering more in the future for other friends. If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, this is the option!" —Katy

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in 34 designs and as an embosser or stamp).

Promising review: "Bought a six-pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could — the inside looked something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I’ve bought these years ago and decided to buy them again for me and my son. He really enjoyed making the candy/gummies. He was proud of his candy sushi once they were assembled, and of course, he loved eating them. He said they were very yummy. The flavor for all the different little things wasn’t bad but my favorite was the 'seaweed,' it tastes just like grape Hi-Chew (my favorite flavor). I recommend buying these at least once for the kids. It’s fun and a tasty treat. We will look into the other kinds in the near future." —Blythe

Get it from Beauchamping on Etsy for $20.

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 like that it's an easy/short diary entry, which makes me more likely to write stuff. The text of the diary is entirely in Japanese, which I do not speak, but this does not impact my using the diary, and the year flows from left to right like most Western books." —ComfyHappyFeet

Promising review: "Great fun light for your kids, my 4-year-old uses it to sleep alongside her at night." —Stefanie Marquez

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in an axolotl style).

It was packaged well and clearly labeled, the ingredients were fresh, and included very cute and easy-to-follow directions! It was a great activity for all of us to enjoy together! We did half the regular salt pretzels and half with cinnamon and sugar; both were delicious!" —Austin

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (also available in four other cooking kits like bagels and cinnamon buns).

This little dancing dude is 17 inches tall! It uses 9-volt alkaline batteries (must be new) or an AC adapter — using an AC adapter with the proper specs is the recommended choice for best performance.

Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery, my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man, I knew I have a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner

Fun fact: This was the most funded puzzle on Kickstarter at the time, 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

If you've given this puzzle in the past, or they're already a fan, consider one of the other versions. 

Promising review: "These are literally so, so, so tiny but my daughter loves them! She’s hoping to put an individual four-leaf clover in each (they really are teeny), and it’s going to be adorable." —Jodi

Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in cat and ghost styles).

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 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

Promising review: "Love the way this pen writes!! It’s so cute, too!" —Isabel

Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 25 colors). 

The kit comes with two landscapes and one portrait of Bob.

Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and What a find!! 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

Peter Pauper Press is a family-owned small business founded in 1928.

Promising review: "I am absolutely in love. I have always struggled with being overwhelmed with to-do lists (both having them in my mind and making them). This cute, fun design makes that task less daunting and easier, thanks to how it’s organized. It lets me divide tasks up into immediate needs and tasks to do eventually, as well as gives me a space for appointments and reminders for calling people. I also thoroughly enjoy the mood marker and the 'how was your day' section, as it also helps me track my mood. I absolutely adore this, and it will be a positive permanent addition to my life." —River

Promising review: "These are so cute you can leave them out! They are well-made, and you can easily put a large scoop of ice cream in there, or any other type of dessert. Jello would look especially nice. The colors are just like the picture. Very good value." —sfrnofls

Get them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two colorways and also as drinking glasses).
