Promising review: "I’m an experienced crocheter, and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about regarding the Woobles collections. I merely had to wait for a kit that would tickle my fancy, and the Star Trek Collection did exactly that! I’ve only opened one of the four kits I ordered, just to see if everything was as it should be, and it was! The kits arrived well before promised, and I know I’m really gonna enjoy creating them. My only wish now is that more such kits from Star Trek become available; you know you have a HUGE fan base, and MANY characters to choose from!" —JKR

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in three other characters). 

Promising reviews: "After about a week of heavy use, I would only need a teeny bit on my stomach and thighs. I think I'm actually in love with this one here." —Maegan

Psssst.... The Libby app (all you need is a library card for access) allows you to borrow from the library and read via your Kindle. It's the way I've been reading most of my books lately. And yes, they have all the bestsellers on there. They even have audiobooks! 

Promising review: "This is probably the best purchase I have ever made. I don’t know why I waited this long. I already have Kindle Unlimited, but with this device, the world is at my fingertips. My eyes don’t hurt, and I can adjust the brightness and font to what I need. At night, I need the bigger font, so that helps so much. It’s lightweight, easy to hold, and the perfect size. I had this with me on my family vacation and I could not put it down. The charge lasts forever. I have only charged this twice. If you love to read and are sensitive to light, this will help. It’s perfect." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "I purchased the Libra mask for myself and it’s super cute and comfortable. I like the Slip brand, so when I saw the zodiac sign version, I had to get it. My mom loved my mask, so I purchased the Sagittarius mask for her for Christmas." —AmberB

Get it from Anthropologie for $83 (available in the zodiac signs). 

Promising reviews: "I love this smell; when I smell it, it reminds me of my favorite BBW era. I use it on my sheets before bedtime, and it really helps me relax at bedtime. The husband also likes it, so it's a win-win." —Anonymous

Promising review: "Changed my life. So I get anxious doing the adult coloring books. This was so much fun and made me really think outside of the box. I'm not the best at drawing but I felt like I was when I was a kid doodling in my textbooks in school." —Carley C. 

(Psst — check out these cult-fave black fine point pens for $8.54 on Amazon for a good doodling option!)

Promising reviews: "Most comfortable pajamas I have ever put on. So buttery soft and comfortable. I love that it has a tall option! Highly recommend!" —Amanda B.

"I can’t believe I waited as long as I did to purchase these pajamas! They have completely changed sleep for me! I just purchased another pair because they are now the only pajamas I’ll wear, and I don’t want to wear them out too fast. The quality is great, and they look amazing, too." —Hillary

Promising reviews: "I loved this build. It flew by. There were so many different things the build never felt monotonous and it's all I wanted to do. I was excited to see how everything went together. 10 out of 10 recommend." —ChelseaRay43

"Enjoyed building this. My 12-year-old daughter likes to recite the movie lines and move the characters around. My 5-year-old has combined some Disney mini-figs with the set, and now we somehow have some Twilight/Disney mashup, which is hilarious. The point is, Lego continues to bring my family together, and I will continue building and making connections with my kids." —Ms.InquisitiveBrush102

Get it from Levain Bakery for $60 (available in eight options). 

Promising reviews: "I recently started a new job and wanted to spruce up my cubicle. My friend, who is a school psychologist, encouraged me to get a how I’m feeling chart in the past, so I thought this would be a cute addition. It’s fun to change every day and my coworkers also like looking at it and identifying how they are feeling too!" —Alyssa

"Not too big, not too small, and perfect as a way to communicate with my partner on the vibes in the house. It's helpful when there's a less-than-happy mood happening and I can go right into supportive mode or even keep distance if necessary. Also brings us a lot of laughs!" —Michael Cooper

I purchased this exact blanket last year during a chilly winter in the Bay Area. My heater was out and it was going to take a while for it to get fixed. I normally run warm, but I never knew how cold a body could actually get. I was so cold it hurt! But once I got this blanket, I didn't even need my heater. Even once it got fixed, if I had this blanket on, I'd warm up so toasty in a matter of minutes that I'd have to change out of my sweatshirt to throw on a tank top. Needless to say, it's worth every single penny. Recently, my dad discovered my heated blanket secret so now my blanket is living at his house. I'm so happy they're back in stock (they sell out quickly). I will be getting a new one! 

Get it from Target for $50.99 (available in six colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "At first, I was refusing to spend that on a blanket even during the Nsale, but I caved after all the hype because I just got too curious. Shockingly, I REALLY loved it, so much so that I purchased a second, and then my mom came over and was lying with it and said she needed one of these without even knowing what blanket it was. So now I have purchased 3, smh. The reviews all say how well it washes, which is why I caved, but it truly is ridiculously soft, very warm, has that cozy weight to it, and is very comfortable to be wrapped in." —db07

Get it from Nordstrom for $325 (available in 11 colors/patterns). 

Watch this Heated Rivalry Tamadochi someone made on TikTok. 

Promising review: "I’ve been a fan of Tomodachi Life for years, and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream exceeded all my expectations. The game keeps everything that made the original so fun and addictive while adding new activities, interactions, and surprises that make the island feel more alive than ever. Creating Miis and watching their friendships, rivalries, romances, and hilarious random moments never gets old. Every time I play, something unexpected happens that makes me laugh. The new customization options and quality-of-life improvements make it even easier to get attached to your island residents. Whether you’re a longtime fan or completely new to the series, this game is relaxing, charming, and packed with personality. It’s the perfect game to pick up for a few minutes or lose yourself in for hours. Nintendo absolutely nailed it with this one! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, cozy, and endlessly entertaining experience." —Alexis

Promising review: "I didn't think Vol. 2 could possibly be cuter than Vol. 1, but somehow it is! The illustrations are adorable, cozy, and just the right amount of spooky. I loved the first book, and this one absolutely lived up to it. Such a fun coloring book when you just want to relax and color something cute!" —Meg

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.
