Werewolf, a sneaky party game you need to order for your friend group ASAP
Promising review: “My group of friends love game night. We’ve tried all sorts of games, and when I brought this game out, everyone was skeptical. Now no one wants to play any other game but this one. Super fun! The fact that it comes in a simple deck of cards makes it so easy to carry around and bring to any party occasion just in case. With the different characters you can mix it up so no two games are ever the same. The witch character has truly tested some friendships already. The game also gives you extra cards for you to create your own characters with their own unique roles and powers. We are looking forward to creating some interesting new roles and throwing them in the mix. If you have a loud group of friends, this is the game for you!” — Amazon customer

Promising review: “I have always loved crepes, but never knew how to make them. This pan is so simple and easy to use that it takes all the guess work out of making crepes, and the dipping tray keeps everything. It does take a few tries to get the hang of dipping and flipping, but once you get started, you’ll be rolling out crepes by the minute. A genius design for the beginning crepe-r.” — SoutherStorm

A nonstick Avengers waffle maker for extra super breakfasts
Promising review: “Best gift you can give! LOVE LOVE LOVE this! This waffle iron makes FOUR regular sized waffles at one time meaning WAY LESS TIME IN THE KITCHEN! I will say the waffles are not as crunchy as I would like them even on dark, but I’m still new to this maker and will find a way for some of that added crunch. I have been using toothpicks to help clean as some of the crevices are pretty small. The pictures though come out clear as day and it is super affordable. If you or someone you know is in need of a waffle maker ORDER THIS! Side note: I freeze half the batch and pop them in the toaster later in the week — just as good as the first time around!” — Amazon customer

Saw the ad on Instagram for Artifact Uprising and I’m so glad I spent the money. It was a little more expensive than others and SO worth it. We can’t stop looking at the book. I’ve been a professional graphic designer for 17 years and have handled many printing projects and I was just floored by the quality of the product. Thank you!” — David T.
A Nutribullet full-size blender and two to-go blender cups for anyone who loves smoothies, hummus, soup and other blended delicacies
Promising review: “I wanted a new blender for smoothies and this thing is amazing!!!! Got it a couple of months ago and have had zero problems. I make my smoothies almost daily and use kefir, milk, lots of frozen fruit, and fresh greens (among other things), and it blends everything quickly and perfectly!!! I’ve never tried blending with the cups, but my husband uses those for his smoothies and LOVES them!! Everything’s also very easy to clean. So glad I purchased this powerhouse system (after returning a different brand that couldn’t cut it) and HIGHLY recommend it!!” — Rebecca M
A stylish acrylic block and set of sleek black knives, because this’ll really dress up their kitchen
Promising review: “These knives are great! They stay super sharp, they’re comfortable to hold, and I love how much counter space it leaves as opposed to a big bulky knife block. Fits perfectly in my minimalist kitchen!!! And it looks great on my counter being one of the few things that I keep on my countertop! It is the perfect amount of knives without being too many knives (I don’t like things in excess)! I have never had a cheese knife before, and this baby is my favorite one in the whole set! LOL! It slices through hard cheeses like butter! Have not tried on soft cheese, but I’m sure it’ll be great because it is super sharp! I can’t say enough about how much I love these knives!!” — Sadie Allen
A whiskey infusing kit to make their very own autumn old fashioned in the comfort of their own home
Promising review: “Delish! We had a bourbon that we weren’t crazy about, so we decided to infuse it with this kit…wow, what a difference. Completely turned the bourbon from one we kept at the back of our liquor cabinet to one we finished off within days after the infusion was done. We liked that the kit didn’t make it too sweet. Really nice balance of flavors. Will definitely get again!” — Colleen Olfenbuttel
A personal library kit

An HP portable photo printer that’ll print photos on-the-go
Promising review: “I bought this for daughter-in-law and my wife had such a fit over it, I bought one for her too. She has had it three weeks now and hasn’t stopped telling me how much she loves it. Prints a very nice picture and there was nothing disappointing about the picture or the printer. We love that it has print-sensitive paper, doesn’t require an ink cartridge and works by Bluetooth so a cable isn’t necessary. What a little gem! Brilliant idea and product!” — Amazon customer

A set of jumbo fizzy aromatherapy bath bombs to moisturize any bath-lover’s skin
Promising review: “I have been using bath bombs for years. I’ve used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I’ve tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. During this COVID-19 outbreak, I have had a lot of stress and anxiety and have enjoyed a bath nearly every night for the past week. This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I’ve used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs. I will definitely purchase this box again when I run out and honestly it’s a great price at a little more than $2 a piece. You really can’t beat it!” — Heather H

The entire extended 4K “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy, including almost two hours of extended movie content
Promising review: “If you’re here you probably really want to know about the 4K experience. I did. Well don’t worry. This is now the benchmark I’m comparing all other 4K movies to. The quality of these movies blows my mind. We have about 10 4K movies and none look as good at this. Fellowship of the Ring was filmed 20 years ago, yet looks lightyears better in 4K than Wonder Woman does. I don’t know how they pulled this off. We have a Samsung QLED TV with 7.1 surround. This has been THE best movie experience I’ve ever had with this setup. Truly stunning. .You can get a glimpse of just how good this looks from my pic (taken with a cell phone of a tv). The level of detail is off the charts. If you’re a LOTR fan and have a 4K TK GET THIS!” — Double D
A set of laboratory-style shot glasses to truly make drinking a science

A trio of spicy sauces (honey, maple syrup and gochujang sriracha) they’ll want to drizzle on everything
Promising review:
“I [love] Bushwick Kitchen’s products but I use their gochujang sriracha like an essential ingredient. I use on EVERYTHING and love its mellow spiciness. I use their meyer lemon honey in tea, their salted honey on buttered english muffins and their spicy honey on fried chicken (and have even put it on pepperoni pizza — I swear that’s a killer combo)! I bought the gift pack as a hostess gift — both because I knew the chef would love them but also because I’d run out of my own stash and wanted to be sure to have some available for the weekend.” — trish beckerToasty slippers with a super-cushy foam footbed
A wireless karaoke microphone that’ll bring the party wherever they go
Promising review: “Oh my gosh, I love this! I got mine in the mail yesterday and ended up playing with it for about five hours last night LOL. It connects via Bluetooth so you can connect it to your phone — the music and your singing comes out of the microphone’s speaker. It has a volume control for your voice and for the music and also an echo feature. You can put an SD card into the bottom of it and record yourself, or connect it with an audio out to record on one of those karaoke apps on your phone. Between this and being able to find just about any song on karaoke via YouTube, you could easily have your own karaoke parties at home!” — Ferretocious
Dyson’s Air Wrap Complete, a six-in-one hair dryer and styler that’s basically like magic
I will never go back after using the Dyson Air Wrap (I have the previous version of the Air Wrap). This bb is beyond next level, which it should be for over $500 hard-earned dollars. I have coarse, type 2/3 waves and curls (different curl types with basically every strand), and the attachments dry and style my hair with ease. And the curls last and last. The curling effect that just sucks on your hair is mind-blowing. It maxes out at a non-damaging temperature, so even though your style is locked-in for days, your hair will stay healthy.
