If your screen time report has you feeling personally attacked and like you should be doing better things with your time, I got chu.

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

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a larger format).

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).

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 $9.14. 

The kit includes a linen canvas, four wooden brushes, a set of acrylic paints, a guide, and a reference sheet. You can also get a frame for your masterpiece here! 

Promising review: "I love these paint-by-numbers! I didn't even finish the second one before I had purchased another one to gift and ordered another style to paint. I feel that sitting and painting, but not having to think too much, is very calming for me, like doing a puzzle, but you get to display it after. 👩‍🎨 🖼️ Highly recommend!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in dozens of image options, three sizes, and with or without a frame). 

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: "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 $8.41 (available in four 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

Promising review: "The Ninja Swirl is a great product. From the thoughtful packaging to the appealing design, it feels well-made all around. We have made protein ice cream (Creamifit), traditional ice cream, and even Dole Whip with excellent results. The machine is easy to use and simple to clean afterward. It is not the quietest, but the noise level is comparable to that of a blender, and occasionally a little louder. Overall, this is an excellent product." —Stormy

And it's specially designed for you to be able to eat it straight out of the mug —because dishes? Not tonight, boo! Some reviewers also recommend getting two so that you always have one in the freezer at the ready. 

Y'ALL — I can't get over how much I love this ice maker. I had been pining over the Ninja Swirl since it came out, but my wallet kept saying "lol." So, after writing about this bad boy so much, I decided to buy it myself, and it is truly one of my favorite purchases of the year. I love how small it is, so it doesn't take up a ton of room in my freezer or on my counter. And it only has three pieces to manage. I used to own a Cuisinart one that I eventually got rid of because it was too bulky. This one is the perfect size for me.

I also love that it's designed to eat right out of the bowl. I got these covers that are designed to fit the mug so that if I can't finish it, I can just put it in the freezer instead of putting it in another container. The worst part is having to wait 24 hours for the bowl to freeze, but I got two, like other reviewers recommended, so that I'll always have one available if the other one is in use. I'm TOO excited to experiment with flavors. Love, love, LOVE!

Promising review: “I truly am not a big ice cream fan, but decided to try this one after seeing some videos online about it. Let me tell you, I used it so much in the first two weeks that I had to put it away and hide it! If this machine broke tomorrow, I would immediately buy another." —cb2767

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in a two bowl set).

Oh So Easy is a small biz founded by two proud Filipina-Americans on a mission to share the flavors they love through the most joyful, crave-worthy baking mixes.

Promising reviews: "This is a must-have. I started with one box, then made a second because it was so good. I begrudgingly shared and they're gone too soon. Thanks for a wonderful treat." —Victoria R

"My whole family loved these — chewy, nutty, and so tasty. My 7-year-old declared they’re her favorite dessert EVER. Can’t beat praise like that!" —Elizabeth N

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.

The book comes with space to draw small things like a nail art design, a thimble, and a coat button.

Promising review: "The only way that I’m able to make art is when I have a prompt because otherwise I just get stuck on what to draw. This is amazing for people who need to wind down a bit and focus on something. The book is small, but it comes super packed with interactive prompts, and I can’t wait to do them all." —E

Promising review: "These are actually quite cute. The kit comes with everything needed to make the stickers — pre-colored images as well as images to color yourself. It can be a little tricky for little hands to layer everything correctly and get a nice good seal on the edges, but with a little help, little ones can make impressive puffy stickers. The instructions do state to not cut too close to the edge, which was done accidentally, and the sticker came apart — but after that, we made them correctly. I was hoping for a refill kit, but I don't believe one is available." —Annamarie

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

Promising review: "A beautiful deck, and the "face" cards have flowers instead of faces, and they're so very pretty!! I play Rummy with my neices and we enjoy having a girly deck to play with." —Amandae B

*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 reviews: (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

(for the drinks book): "As a person who doesn't have the budget to visit the parks, this is the perfect way to bring some of the parks to you. I like it a lot, and many recipes are very simple to make. I also enjoy the fact that some of these are non-alcoholic, which makes it even better if you have family and/or friends that don't drink alcohol, or even for people that are recovering from alcoholism. Make the magic work for you." —Diany Moony

Get it from Amazon for $11.54 for the cookbook and $9.90 for the drink recipes.

Promising review: "Nice little shaved ice machine. I have it sitting out on my counter and it takes up very little space. It has nice suction on the bottom so it doesn’t move while it is working. Doesn’t make too much noise. I like the three options for the size of the shaved ice, [because] most other ones don’t give you the option. It is easy to clean but I have it jam once or twice (it is easy to take apart so it only takes a minute or two to fix the jam). My only issue with it is unless you get all the ice out as it melts it will leak even with the pitcher under it (I never want to take it apart right after using it as I am typically eating the shaved iced so there is also a little bit of ice in it that melts but I just put a towel down). It is worth the money as my daughter loves shaved iced." —Kim

Be Rooted is a Black-woman-owned small biz that sells home and lifestyle products that weave in images and cultural messages for Black women.

Promising review: "This puzzle had very vivid color and the quality of the puzzle piece was very superior to other more expensive puzzles I’ve bought before. I love the quality of this puzzle so much I’ve already ordered several more puzzles from this vendor." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in two other designs).

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 $13.99+ (available in three options).

And if you're using this bad boy for cheese, make sure you add some of The Melting Pot Garlic and Wine Seasoning to take your fondue to a whole 'nother level of deliciousness!

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).

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 desired. 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 

Satavi Naturals is a small biz that creates wellness products that give you a spa-like experience at home.

I have gotten this spa set, and it truly is everything you need to relax from a long week in a box. It comes with all the essentials for a relaxing evening — 24K gold eye masks, a set of steam eye masks, sugar scrubs, an unscented candle, and three gorgeous bath bombs in eucalyptus mint, lavender, and citrus. And from the moment you open the lid, you're immediately hit with a divine scent that makes you excited to end work early and take a bath. It also comes in a colorful, luxe box. I loved it!

Promising review: "I love to come home after a long day on my feet and just put my feet into this foot bath. Love the vibration. It feels so good. Highly recommended." —ziggy

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

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

This kit includes a bag of natural soy wax (in flake form), pre-waxed and tabbed wicks, and wick-centering devices. And if you're obsessed with Labubus, here's a mold to craft your own unique candle of one!

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).

The press makes 12 raviolis at once. You can also use it for stuffed cookies or teeny-tiny pies. 

Promising review: "This little gadget was great. I thought it would be something to get used to, but I was able to make perfect raviolis the first try! For the price, you just can't beat this ravioli press. I don't know why anyone would buy the super expensive attachment for the Kitchenaid when this is just as easy —probably more so." —PFamily

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

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

Fair warning —this WILL lead to heated arguments about what color Barney is.

Promising review: "Easy to learn, impossible to master — you can never quite tell what the other person is thinking! Hues and Cues delivers on its promise as a simple and entertaining game with a beautiful board and a fun concept." —Ian Laird
