Promising review: "LOVE LOVE these solar flowers in my solar garden!!!! Such a great addition. I've already gotten tons of compliments from my neighbors. I highly recommend them!!! I'll probably get more since I think I need more than two." —Jeanie

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $13.99. 

Here's how it works: One player pulls and reads out a multiple-choice question card. For example: I'd rather A. write a horror book, B. make a horror film, or C. run a haunted house. The player would put down a card matching their answer face down, and the other players have to guess the correct answer. The prompts are silly and designed to get people talking. There are over 200 wacky questions stuffed in a travel-friendly box. 

The game takes about 15 minutes and can accommodate up to eight players.

Promising review: "Great game for kids aged eight or older. Great imagination stimulator and helped my son ‘want’ to read. I don’t think he knew he was practicing reading, as this was a fun game to stimulate conversation. We take this game on car rides." —emily

Promising review: "I LOVE IT! Great for any Pixar fan! Officially one of my favorite Lego builds. It was easy and I was able to finish it in less than two hours, which is fast for me because I have two young kids and hardly ever get to finish my Lego builds in one sitting. AND super cool mini hidden surprises." —Lucy G

Promising review: "This product is a little smaller than maybe what I was expecting. Regardless, it is still very comfortable. I spend a lot of my time sitting on the computer but don’t have a legitimate desk chair, and this has definitely been a breath of fresh air for my rather unforgiving wooden kitchen chairs. Plus, I was looking for something cute and fun to bring some more color to my apartment, and this adorable duck definitely accomplishes that. I think it would be extra perfect for kids, too!" —Claire Rorick

Promising review: "​So cute. Fill your house with silly, cute things so you’ll smile all day." —CindyB

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!!

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

This card game is great for 3–8 players, ages 7 and up. 

Promising review: "I used this for a game night party, where some of our friends already knew each other, and others were new to the group. This game right at the top of the evening made everybody fast friends and ready to dig into more games. It was hilarious and enjoyable." —CLC

Promising review: "Really good quality and soooo funny. This puzzle is great! Honestly because it’s sort of a funny prank gift, I thought it wasn’t going to be good quality. But it’s actually REALLY nice! The pieces are thick and good quality and a huge variety of shapes that fit together really well. We are big puzzle fans and this one turned out to be one of our favorites — it’s funny, fun to do, and a really nice, solid puzzle! I will totally buy this again for a gift!" —A. Kay

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 (for the fruit cap): "Well worth the laugh. The cap is very thin, much like Barbie doll clothing material. But the stitching is nice and the cap has ruched elastic under the chin, so it will fit a bigger cat head. Mine is 15 pounds, so he has a bigger head. It will flatten your kitty’s ears, but his are stumps anyway, which is probably why he tolerates this more than he might otherwise. Thrilled I got the orange, he is certified orange meow." —RB
