Unsure how many to buy? Use this handy calculator. And don't forget the mini pool to house them in!

Promising review: "Highly recommend and would buy again. Perfect size and amount of balls for babies and toddlers. Nice assortment of primary colors. Well packaged. Love the reusable zippered mesh container for easy storage. Great product." —Jennifer J

Get a pack of 400 balls from Amazon for $38.70 (available in bright or pastel colors and in a pack of 1000 balls).

Promising review: "By far the most amazing coloring book I’ve ever bought! It’s so funny, and it really makes you laugh at the most annoying and inconvenient experiences in life. This made me laugh so much, I bought two more for friends who also loved it! 10/10" —KArribas

Psst — Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront! Check out a TikTok of Coco Wyo coloring books in action. 

Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set.

Promising review: "One of my favorites ever!!! The idea is perfect, and the pages are all unique and fun to color, with no repetition, and the details aren't too tiny. Great for anxiety if you're doing coloring for mental health. (I hate the pages that are just tiny patterns repeated endlessly. Makes my anxiety worse.)" —Ezra Johnson

And check out these glow-in-the-dark golf balls to add some extra pizzazz to your play!

Promising review: "The surface is large, but it can be rolled up and stored away in two minutes! The holes are slightly elevated (to create the holes), but negligible, unlike the one I had a long time ago, that returned the ball. I like the shape of the mat (looks way more natural than a rectangular long strip), and the surface is soft and comfortable, yet it feels durable. I have no doubt I can make things more challenging by elevating certain areas underneath if I so desire. The 'sand trap' is also an excellent inclusion as it stops the golf balls from escaping the mat, and keeping me from chasing down golf balls. Hopefully, it can interest my kids to get off the electronics for a few minutes now and then, and if so, it will deserve an extra star. —Oniomaniac

Get it from Amazon for $38.34+ (available in two options).

Several reviewers use it to hold completed Lego flower kits!

Promising review: "The quality exceeded my expectations. There is an insert inside so you can use it with actual flowers, which I was impressed by. AND a display stand that I didn't expect. I had so much fun building, and I love seeing it every day. Perfectly sized little vase." —Julia A Gilbert

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in classic or translucent and in seven styles).

Reviewers have also found them to be a great way to pass the time that doesn't involve a screen. Check out a TikTok of the flowers in action. 

Promising review: "Great afternoon activity. All of the flower Lego sets are great for a break and getting your mind off things. We have several different flower ones in a vase, and they all seem to fit nicely together." —Jeremy Moeller 

Kusini is a small business that specializes in kitchen products. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love fondue, and this made at-home fondue easy and mess-free! Warms up quickly and holds the perfect amount of fondue plus dippers." —Ruby Pagel 

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "This game is so fun! Traditional Uno, but with a few twists… You don’t want to be the last one to drop the chili beans, as Kevin did! The teens thought this version of Uno was hilarious, and it’s a favorite on family game nights. The cards are well designed and durable, just as the original Uno cards are. The deck of cards is the same size as the original, and the gameplay is typically fast. If you are a fan of card games and The Office, then this is a must-have version of Uno!" —Michelle T

Get it from Amazon for $8.84 (available in five other TV show/movie options).

I LOVE THIS GAME! So, I've always enjoyed the original, but then this summer, while attending a friend's 4th of July BBQ gathering, someone whipped out this bad boy, and I was hooked. It truly is not for the weak, and might even reveal thee most savage side of friends that you didn't know existed. Expect big laughs, cutthroat competition, and lots of cussing — which is the only way to do game night right IMO. I loved it so much that I even bought it for my house.

Buuuuut, if you want something that will allow you to look at your friends the same way the next day, check out Uno Flip, which has a special Flip card that leads to all the cards being flipped over to reveal new numbers and colors.

Promising review: "For highly competitive players! If you have players who can’t handle regular Uno without their feelings being hurt, they will not enjoy this version. We, however, have some very competitive card players in our family, and we had a blast playing this game. No Mercy means just that! Enjoy!" —Mom Reviews

*Fun fact* — the author, Kiano Moju, used to work at Tasty!

Promising review: "My husband and I have been making recipes from AfriCali nonstop, and I cannot get over how easy, DELICIOUS, and attainable all these meals are. Typically, most recipes require a moderate amount of prep and cooking, but between the minimal shopping required and the beautiful pictures and straightforward, intelligent, and personality-filled recipes, I’m a huge fan of this cookbook. It’s perfect for all skill levels and all types of dietary preferences - my top 3 recipes so far are the yassa poisson, the berbere short ribs, and the berbere bacon. I used the last one for the best BLT I’ve ever had (with turkey bacon too, which is saying something)." —Superior 77

Promising review (for the cookbook): "This recipe book was a gift for my granddaughter, who loves everything Disney! She was excited to try the recipes and 'relive' the fun food at Disneyland." —Ellen Bailey

Get it from Amazon for $8.70 for the cookbook and $9.90 for the drink recipes

*Also* did I mention you barely have to charge it? A lot of reviewers report charging it around once a month, but it can last up to 12 weeks on a single charge! And here's a nifty strap you can get that'll make it easier to hold.

Promising review: "I'm a hardcore actual book (made of paper) lover, and set in my ways, but one of my favorite authors has begun publishing their books on Amazon, and you can't get them via libraries, etc., so I had to buy an e-reader. It takes some getting used to, and some cussing, but I do like it now. I do still prefer old-fashioned books, but I will admit that e-readers have several advantages. I was worried that the light would hurt my eyes and cause migraines, due to my extreme light sensitivity, but it doesn't. The light is adjustable and easy on the eyes (and head). The battery lasts forever. It holds SO MANY books. It's very lightweight. I have no complaints." —Tahnna

Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in three colors, with or without Kindle Unlimited and with or without lockscreen ads)

Promising review: "You don't understand — TikTok made me obsess over this microphone. As a 30+ year-old woman, I resisted purchasing it. I finally broke down and bought it because it was haunting me in my sleep. I'm so glad I did. When I am in a bad mood, I start karaoke in my house and am instantly better. It has 'ruined' my teenage son's life because my performances can be heard through his Xbox microphone. This is a must-have product." —Zane A. Undercoffer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 14 colors).

Promising review: "To be so small, this projector is really nice. The picture quality is very clear, to my surprise. Setup was quick and easy — I had it connected and running within minutes. I also like how convenient it is to move from room to room. The built-in speaker isn't so bad, but I love that I can connect it to my own sound system when I want a fuller experience, especially when it comes to gaming. For the price and convenience, I love it. I would definitely recommend!" —Te'Ana B.

Get it from Amazon for $53.96 (also available in a regular size).

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Abby Kass says about it: "I've been using a similar one for years, and I still swear by it. It's so much cheaper than buying microwave popcorn all the time, not to mention better for you. It's super easy to use and makes delicious popcorn in minutes. Plus, it's collapsible, so it won't take up a lot of room in your cabinet. You *can* use it as its own bowl, but it's usually pretty hot after coming out of the microwave, so I usually just transfer to another bowl so I don't have to wait for it to cool."

Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I am throwing out my old popcorn maker because there is no need for it anymore. I cannot believe how easy it was to make perfect popcorn and use the same bowl to eat it out of. I've already told all of my friends to buy this!" —Cindy Suy

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 20 colors).

Promising review: "This is such a great poster. I bought this as a birthday present for my boyfriend who is a HUGE movie buff. We have movie nights throughout the week and I thought this would be something we could work on together. I haven't seen A LOT of these. He loves it. It's great quality." —Shelby Parker

This kit includes a bag of natural soy wax (in flake form), pre-waxed and tabbed wicks, and wick-centering devices.

Promising review: "I am amazed at how easy it is to make candles! I made small mosquito-repellent candles for my wedding. I added a colored dye and scent after melting the wax. It was super easy and quick to make. The hardest thing for me was to wait for it to cool down and solidify. I even had my kids help. They thought it was fun to mix colors to create their own candles. This wax melts nicely and doesn't really have an odor by itself." —Amanda

Get a 2-pound bag from Amazon for $15.02 (also available in three other sizes).

Promising reviews: "Santa left this under the tree for my 9-year-old son, and he LOVES it! So easy to use and takes only a few tries to figure out the boomerang effect! So fun, my parents, his grandparents joined in, and we had a blast with it! If you are thinking about purchasing this, DO IT!! And the charge life is not bad either. Lasts long enough to give you breaks!!" —Kerri

"When my son received this, he was excited! I saw this on TikTok and surprised him with it! I was not disappointed with the quality and how it worked! Will definitely purchase again!!" —Jindee

Get it from Amazon for $25.60+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "We have been really enjoying this little s'mores maker — it's not big, doesn't take up a lot of space, and does exactly what it's meant to do. We can't build fires or anything like that around where I live, so this was our next best option. It's worked out great for us. The only thing is it only has two of the little roaster sticks, so if you have several people roasting, you would need something else to use to stick your marshmallow on." —Devin

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in black or brown and in three styles; and get some additional roasting sticks here).

The kit comes with three paintings — 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

To get started, you just need to upload the image to the company website, and then you'll get a printable design with numbers that correspond to the 48 paint colors included in the kit. It also includes a printable canvas sheet and brushes.  You can also convert non-pet pictures here.

Promising review: "This was so much fun! I tried three different photos in the tool they give you and chose this one. It shows you a preview of each painting, which is really helpful when deciding which image to go with. Not every picture came out as good, so definitely try a few! Easy to use, and fun to paint — excited to frame it! I actually have some paint left over and will try to do another one!" —Jonathan Kebert

Promising review: "If you're a crossword enthusiast or looking to embark on a delightful journey into the world of puzzles, 'The New York Times Best of the Week Series: Monday Crosswords: 50 Easy Puzzles' is an absolute gem.

It's a great collection that caters to crossword lovers of all levels and is a fantastic dose of mental exercise and entertainment, too. Whether you're a seasoned solver or a beginner, I think you'll find this book to be an absolute treasure chest of puzzles that never cease to delight. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add a bit of intellectual joy to their days...or to wind down their day with!" —Don L

Get it from Amazon for $13.02 (also available for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — but just an FYI, they do get harder as the week goes on).

It features questions like, "If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about your life, the world, or anything else, what would you want to know?"

Promising review: "We are big fans of game night with our friends, often with the usual board games. We tried these cards out, and it was a really great way to get to know our friends better. It admittedly can feel odd in the first question or two, but once you laugh it off and get it rolling, it can spark some unexpected, funny, deep, and often uniting conversations. My wife is a yoga and meditation teacher and has used the deck to open discussion around some of the themes of the cards (compassion, resilience, gratitude, reflection, kinship, adventure, etc) and said that the questions sparked some interesting and meaningful conversations among her students. The size and feel of the cards are that of a high-quality deck of playing cards. Definitely recommend these." —Adam Pirani

It's perfect for friend groups who love trivia — or if you've ever daydreamed about being on a game show. You can also hook up to six devices, including your phone, tablet/iPad, and TV.

Promising reviews: "Great game that can be played by the whole family. We got it so we could play it with our kids and grandkids. Now they want to play all the time, all over the country. It’s an amazing concept, and the questions are very entertaining." —Cliff

"Love this updated trivia game! The entire family can play, plus we don't have to worry about keeping track of question card with everything going through the app. We've had the game for about a week and have played every night. Highly recommend for anyone who loves playing trivia games. There are so many question packs you can add on that the gameplay is endless." —Heather

Psst — a lot of reviewers use silicone or plastic molds to get specific shapes! 

Promising review: "It’s honestly just a really nice material to work with! If you want to create things with clay, this is definitely a good choice! It’s definitely not for professional use, but I feel like that’s a given? I mean, it is Crayola. But all in all, great for those who want to use it for fun!" —Amazon Customer

It comes with two feather teaser sticks and six colorful felt balls. See the pool table in action on TikTok here.

Promising review: "My cats love the table!! We love that the legs have a scratching feature, and my one cat loves to throw the balls everywhere and into the holes, while my other cat loves to use it as a bed. I work from home, and my cat used to sleep on my laptop and keyboard, which was quite inconvenient, so this table has been a lifesaver! It keeps them both entertained for hours. The only thing to note is that the ball on the pool stick is hard, so it’s important to be careful when playing with them." —Amanda Sellini

Promising review: "Honestly, I saw this tarot deck and thought I needed this for ha ha’s. But man. This deck’s images are hilarious. It’s so much fun, and I felt so drawn to it as soon as it was in my hands. I am smitten with these kittens. 😍 10000% worth the purchase!" —Kathryn Prouty

For Elementary puzzles, you 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, you also need to find a motive. And for Impossible puzzles, you have to discover all four elements and deal with the lying witness statement from the murderer. Each puzzle has a logic grid to help you 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 creativity! 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 and Volume 3 for $10.92.

Check out a TikTok of the cocktail book in action. 

Promising review: "This book has easily become one of my favorites. Great base knowledge, and I would recommend it to anyone seeking to further educate themselves on spirits and cocktails. Even the first few pages are full of useful information. Purchase this for yourself or even as a gift. I cannot say enough good things about this book." —Adriana

The set includes a spoon, jigger, corkscrew, ice tongs, muddles, two liquor pourers, strainer, shaker, and display stand.

Promising review: "This bar kit is perfect for the budding mixologist in your life! My husband loves the pour spouts and says they make him feel like a real bartender, while I love muddling and building my drinks in a glass with all the tips and tricks in the included booklet! This set gleams and has attracted a few compliments already, and it's so fun showing off with friends to make drinks. Highly recommend!!" —Jessica Armes

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in four colors, with 18 or 24 ounce size shakers and in three stand styles).

Psst — they're also washable (just use soap and water) and regain their stickiness very easily. So, you'll never have to worry about them getting gross and unusable.

Promising review: "My 15-year-old asked for these after seeing them on TikTok. I got them as a stocking stuffer, thinking they’d be tossed aside. Unbelievably, he and his 17-year-old brother have spent time lying on the floor, tossing them up to the ceiling, and waiting for them to fall so they can catch them. I never expected them to get this much use. Bonus is they’re off their phones and in the family room with us." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.10. 

To play, you simply use the word magnets to respond to wild prompts like "tell someone you've clogged their toilet at a party." Everyone uses their magnets to create responses, and a designated judge will decide the winner of that round. There are tons of funny combinations to create, so it'll always feel fresh. It's not kid-friendly, but you can make it kid-friendly by taking out some words and prompts.

Promising review: "This game is hilarious and makes for such a fun evening. It's easy to learn and so fun to get creative and come up with wacky answers to the very good prompt cards. I love that there are so many tiles, meaning that you really do get a wide variety of words in your "hand" while playing. This has quickly become our new favorite game. I've already recommended this to so many people. If you're hesitating on this at all, I promise you won't regret getting this one." —Bee94

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (also available with five expansion packs).

Check out a TikTok of Silly Poopy in action. 

Promising review: "Let me tell you that if you want hours of endless fun of hide and go seek without having to hide yourself, this is a must-get! When it's hidden, it makes various toot noises and says stuff so the kids know if they are close. And when they find it and press the button to do and sing the silly poopy dance ... even you will dance and sing along!!! Doesn't need batteries, and come on, it's poop? Who doesn't think poop and toot noises are funny, and if they don't, they are lying to themselves. A must-have for fun with your kids without barely doing any work!!" —andrea kelli gorman

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in three other shapes).

Promising review: "I’m an adult in my thirties, but I was such a rock nerd as a kid, so when I saw this kit, I knew I had to buy it! I ended up buying it for myself and my adult siblings as a Christmas present — we had so much fun cracking open the rocks on Christmas Day, it brought me back to my childhood! Highly recommend this kit; you get a lot of rocks for the price, and it’s so fun cracking open a rock and discovering what’s inside." —Anna

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

Instead of just trying to get three in a row, the goal is to get three of your color rings in a row based on the size. You win when you get either three in one space, three of the same size in a row, or three of increasing or decreasing sizes in a row.

Promising review: "This game is an absolute blast. The games go pretty quickly, so it's a great way to spend a little bit of downtime, but fun enough to play for long periods of time. I started with two people and have worked up to three, which totally changes the game. I haven't ventured to four yet. It's such a blast, I just bought another for a Christmas gift. I highly recommend it." —Amazon customer

Promising reviews: "I'm very happy with this purchase. It is a great quality wood with beautiful color and weight. I like that it is unfinished since the texture also feels great to touch. The 1.5' is the perfect size for tabletop games. I don't think we can ever go back to the smaller-sized ones. It was also a pleasant surprise to have the whiteboard and marker to make game play more interesting." —Denise

"Fun. Great for family get togethers." —Aurora Boyd

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three color options).

The kit comes with an embroidery hoop, embroidery floss, a needle threader, a seam ripper, six needles, and three designs.

Promising review: "This kit has everything you need for a lovely embroidery project, with plenty of extra embroidery thread. Especially good for beginners and easy to follow or modify. I changed the color of the pot in the background so it stood out more, and added a few ribbon flowers for fun. The fabric isn't quite right for ribbon embroidery, but I managed. Looking forward to completing the other two patterns." —ceilthegreat

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three options).

Here's how to play: You deal all the cards out to your two to four players, and everyone keeps their mini-deck face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle of the table, saying one of the words "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone slaps their hand on the card in a pile as quickly as possible. The last person on the pile has to take the stack and add it to their cards, and whoever runs out of cards first wins!

Promising review: "Ridiculous in a good way! I was skeptical about how much I might enjoy this game, being in my mid-thirties. But it's a lot of fun! Easy to learn, easy to play, my 8-year-old has lots of fun with it. It's a great family game with the potential to be a late-night, more adult-oriented event if you’re picking up what I'm throwing down. Cheers!" —Amazon Customer
