Good luck resisting the temptation to add a tiny bookshelf to your cart.

Whether it's a lazy Sunday morning or you're unwinding from a wild Friday night, there is no wrong time to buy a cozy coloring book or a Taylor Swift–inspired search and find book. Go ahead and treat yo' self!

I own Coco's Cozy Corner coloring book and love using it to unwind after a chaotic day of chasing around my toddlers. The Girl Moments iteration is just so cute, it'll likely be my next purchase after I finish the one I have!

Promising review: "I absolutely love this book! The illustrations are beautifully detailed, and the paper quality is outstanding. It's a great way to unwind and get creative. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys coloring!" —Sorianny

Promising review: "My nieces love these. Easy to use and good quality!" —Shirley Richie

Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.42 (available in three sets) and check out all the styles on the Twisty Petz landing page.

Promising review: "I’m 17 and I loved this. In the intro, it says the page instructions are all up to interpretation, so if it says 'spill your drink' or something, you can take that literally or choose to paint on it with something such as tea or coffee that’ll look like brown watercolor. I love that it’s bizarre prompts, but that you have wiggle room if you don’t want to do anything too wild. I would recommend this if you’re just looking for something fun or if you’re going through some challenges, this is really helpful to distract/express/push yourself!" —Marlee

...and the celestial design on the front is stunning, if I do say so myself.

Promising review: "This book helps you understand that it’s okay to be completely honest with yourself. The book itself was in great condition with clean pages. I can’t wait to venture more into this lil' journey with myself! ♥️" —Molls

Promising review: "Bought this as soon as I got the email that it dropped on Amazon! Love this series and will continue to purchase them. Was it the most challenging puzzle? No, but that didn't take away from the fun of putting it together. Great artwork, wacky pieces, two posters, you just can't go wrong with a magic puzzle!" —Jennifer Lawton

This is one of many puzzles from the Magic Puzzle Company, so there are lots of other ~puzzling~ possibilities once this one's finished!

Promising review: "I didn't know what to expect from this super adorable anxiety bookshelf, but it delivered! I shake it up when I feel anxiety, even frustration, and I sort all the little books back onto the shelves any way I want, and it is sooo satisfying! The bookshelf is super cute and well-built. It is sturdy and beautiful. The tiny books are detailed, and their covers are amazing. They aren't actual books, but they really look like they are. This is the most gratifying gift I have ever purchased for myself. Beyond satisfied!" —Elda M Ferguson

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

Promising review: "This is such an amazing creation. You can tell the illustrator put in SO MUCH WORK into researching the Tay universe and capturing absolutely every detail possible of her entire career. I gasped at the "No, it's Becky" reference! A job very well done. I am so happy I purchased this!!" —Alexia Pitman

Get it from Amazon for $11.60, or if you'd prefer something to read, check out this Taylor Swift Little Golden Book for $6.

About 5 to 8 players can join in on the fun!

Promising review: "This game comes in a small regular deck, and it is seriously so much fun. The rules are extremely simple and seem age-appropriate for nearly everyone. I think kids would especially have fun, but I could definitely see getting great laughs amongst a group of adults. The cartoon nature of the art is really fun, and I was beyond pleased with the value of the deck. We can't wait to play this with our friends and family on our next camping trip. Good clean fun!" —Miscellaneous Reviews

Hally Hair is a small business! The pen comes with 240 stick-on hair gems and is designed to work on all hair types.

Promising review: "I bought the Hally Gem Pen for my daughter’s special event, and it was a total hit! ✨ The gems were super easy to apply, stayed in place all day, and added the perfect sparkle to her hairstyle. Removing them was just as simple — no damage, no tangles. We received numerous compliments on her festive look, and she felt like a little star. Highly recommend for birthdays, school parties, or any celebration!" —Alina

Promising review: "If you wanna keep children busy for hours, get these. You can’t beat this price for that many and they are reusable and washable. Just rinse them and rub them under the water and they are like new again. Our 1- and 3-year-old love them. Highly recommend these products." —E2j2c4

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.48+ (also available in a pack of 16).

Promising review: "Great little item for the grandson on his 8th birthday. He loves using it, and it brings out those creative ideas. Works wonders for eye/hand coordination without a game controller. He and his sister are both using one of these now and love working together on projects. It works well, and it is easy for smaller hands to hold. So far, no issues with this item." —MyOpinionMatters

Here's a TikTok that shows how to play. In short, you pick a 2D or 3D puzzle from the guide and set it up to match the image. Start the timer and work to solve the puzzle with the remaining pieces. When done, stop the clock to record your time. Friends can challenge each other or you can play solo to try and beat your own best score. It requires AAA batteries, so be sure to grab some!

BuzzFeed contributor John Mihaly has this to say about this game: "We love the classic version in our home, and it's been in heavy rotation since we got our hands on it. The object of the game is to finish a puzzle using all 12 Kanoodle pieces. The 2D version lies flat, while the 3D version (you can play both with this set) requires you to build a pyramid of pieces. Simple, fun, and challenging (harder puzzles reveal fewer pieces to start)."

Promising review: "Very easy to use and fun for all ages. Great gift idea and is small and compact, so you can take it anywhere with you!" —Jocelyn

Promising review: "So SO CUUUTE! 10/10!! Good product and keeps my straw from getting bugs or germs on it! Plus, it’s really cute." —JennA

Promising review: "I've been drooling over the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, but the price just isn't in my budget…but after buying this, I say save your money and get the Dash! So easy to use and makes yummy ice cream at home! I love making frozen yogurt with Greek yogurt and then add-ins. So delicious!!" —Kat Barber

Promising review: "Got this as a gift for my little sister, and she absolutely adored it. Great gift for someone who has an attachment to a particular song." —Carsen West

Get it from Gift Grove US for $14.49+ (available in three styles).

If you're familiar with the popular Murdle logic puzzle books, chances are you're going to absolutely love this new take on it. I gifted it to my mom, who hadn't experienced the books but loves puzzles — she's obsessed! She said it's so much fun, basically following a story/ murder mystery while working on a puzzle at the same time. The set comes with the puzzle pieces, a logic puzzle, and a surprise maze! 

Promising review: "I’m glad I purchased this puzzle despite reviews saying it was too challenging without a picture. For me, that was what made it so fun. I don’t do a lot of puzzles, and have never played Murdle, but after completing this puzzle and solving the mystery, I just might have to start. The mystery is solved through logical deduction. That part was easy, but the puzzle itself took a few days. There was so much to see and discover, and it kept my interest the whole time. I would definitely recommend this to all mystery and puzzle enthusiasts!" —Amber Bryant

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in another theme!)

Psst: there's also a Murdle board game *and* a Merry Murdle version!

Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T. Redwood

Promising review: "I love it! Gives my new mom bag a little 'pop' and style." —Lidia

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 20 styles).

Promising review: "I was amazed how real this looks, even side by side with the real thing. Of course, when you turn it over, you can see the compartment, and you will have to add weight if you want it to feel real, but just sitting in the pantry, it looks real!" —Brenda

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in seven styles).

Promising review: "If this isn't the cutest thing EVER! I use it for carrying my ponytail holders, bobby pins, etc. in my purse. I totally heart it." —Pudingal1

Promising review: "I bought this for my daughter's eighth birthday and she LOVES it! It actually works way better than I expected! It makes a perfect 3D sticker every time, and the sticker choices are great! I love that you can add sprinkles, confetti, or stars to the inside of the 3D sticker. My daughter likes shaking it around and thinks it's really cool :)" —KBrick216

Promising review: "Such a fun toy. They're easy to take to play with in a restaurant or while waiting. Very versatile. They can be made into just about anything. A fish, a bracelet, a rocket ship. They can be used many times." —Nicole Hadley 

Pass out all the cards to the players and keep all the stacks facedown. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle, while saying "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone races against each other to slap their hand on the central pile of cards. Whoever is last must take the pile of cards and add them to their stack, and the person who runs out of cards first wins! 

Promising review: "The title says it all! You must buy this game if you’re looking to get your kids off their butts, computers, phones, or TV! My children sat for hours, five to be exact, just playing this and laughing. It was a lot of fun for my husband and me to hear them not fighting and doing something together. Loads of fun!! We even loved playing with them!! 🥰🤘" —Melinda Haiden

Promising review: "Just love these bags for a fun evening out. The patterns are great — from sorta serious to downright silly, but all great. Perfect size." —QBB204

Get it from Anthropologie for $98 (available in 14 food-inspired styles) and there are even more Fiona Beaded Bag options you can check out here!

I've been lucky enough to test this baby out since it was first released, but hadn't been able to write up a review because it was CONSTANTLY out of stock EVERYWHERE! Finally, it appears to be available (phew), so you can *also* get your hands on it and join me in my daily gaming fun. You can easily link your old account to your new system, so no need to fret about the games you've already been happily playing for years. Your eyeballs will be so pleased with the new, bigger, brighter screen, and you're going to LOVE being able to play the new Mario Kart World virtually with your friends and family. I'll report back with more details as more new games become available, but so far it has definitely felt like a worthy investment. My husband and I have been arguing over who gets to play Donkey Kong Bananza after the kids go to bed... we might need to buy a second one come the holidays.

Promising review: "We recently purchased the Nintendo Switch 2 from Best Buy during their late-night release — and it was more than just a product, it was a milestone moment for our 9-year-old son. He spent the last three years saving every birthday dollar, allowance, and spare change just to buy this system on his own.  Watching his face light up as he proudly paid for it himself was unforgettable. The Switch 2 itself is amazing — sleek, powerful, and packed with features. The performance upgrade is noticeable, and the graphics are stunning. It’s everything he hoped for and more. He’s been carefully unboxing, setting up, and exploring the games with pure joy.  Thank you, Nintendo and Best Buy, for helping make a young kid’s dream come true. This wasn’t just a console — it was a reward for years of patience, responsibility, and hard work.  Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for the next generation of fun!" —Toni

Get it from Amazon for $449+ (also available with a Mario Kart World bundle) or Best Buy for $449.99 (also available with a Mario Kart World bundle).

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.

This piece is by Heather Braga, an editor on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, who covers a variety of topics including things that'll make parent's lives (hopefully) easier, exciting gadgets, cozy products (think: home goods and fashions that'll make you want to snuggle), and any magical Disney item that crosses her path. When she's not spending time (fighting for her life) with her two toddlers she's probably consuming far too much iced coffee, boppin' to Taylor Swift, adding to her TBR stack, and watching The Real Housewives.
