24 Crafting Kits That'll Help You Discover A New Hobby With Your Hands
A marble paint kit for a family activity that you can later use in OTHER crafts. The gift that keeps on giving!
A Lego flower bouquet because you thought adult Legos were all about Star Wars and architecture — until now.
A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit to help you start out small with your own "happy little trees" before you move onto bigger canvases and projects! This comes with three pre-printed canvases, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and a mini easel to help display your handiwork and inspire further artistic endeavors.
Or a customized pet paint-by-number that'll be a step up from the ones of your childhood. After all, your kitty is a star and is practically begging to be honored in a work of art.
A transparent embroidery kit so you can pick out a design that'll ~mesh~ well with your existing decor.
A modeling kit of a classic painting to bring some extra dimension to a gorgeous piece of art. If you can't decide between modeling clay and painting, this is a fun compromise.

ANDOR Fans Say the Show Reframes a Major Cassian and Jyn Moment in ROGUE ONE — GeekTyrant
'Andor has truly increased the depth and meaning of anything it touches.' That's how Star Wars fans are describing the emotional ripple effect Andor has had across the galaxy, especially when it comes to one key moment in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story . Rewatching the film after Andor Season 2 has been a revelation for many, casting old scenes in a new, much heavier light. Specifically, fans are pointing to the moment when Jyn Erso confronts Cassian Andor aboard the stolen Imperial ship after escaping Eadu. It's the heat of the moment, her father Galen has just died in her arms, and she's furious to learn Cassian was sent to assassinate him. But now, through the lens of Andor, this clash hits differently. One fan posted on Reddit: 'Rewatching Rogue One for the first time since finishing Andor S2. The scene where they escape Eadu in the stolen Imperial ship and Jyn confronts Cassian about her father's death reads so differently to me with the context of the show. Before I thought Cassian was in the wrong, and his indignation at Jyn's accusations further proved that. 'But now it feels like Jyn is naive, and Cassian has just gone through the most intense few days of his years as a rebel, and he's had it. Both of them partially right and both of them a bit wrong. But Cassian in particular has sacrificed too much at this point to be lectured, not when the stakes are this big and so close. Anyway, I love that it feels like Andor has truly increased the depth and meaning of anything it touches.' That shift in perspective seems to be widely shared. Another fan chimed in: 'I had a similar reaction rewatching Rogue One after Andor. His speech helped me see how our experiences shape the way we feel moments. 'That's what made Cassian so mysterious at first watch I'm thinking —what had he lost, what weight was he carrying? At first, it seemed like Jyn had the darkest past, but Andor shows that the Empire takes from everyone.' That's been one of the coolest things about Andor , its ability to shade in the corners of the rebellion and give emotional weight to the political. The same Reddit thread also points out how both Jyn and Cassian share similar trajectories, despite coming from different worlds. 'Jyn basically goes through a condensed character arc that's the same as Cassian—aka wanting to avoid the rebellion before realizing they have no choice but to fight.' Another agreed: 'This right here is one of my favorite parts of RO and Andor. That Jyn and Cassian have been through a similar journey. It makes RO even better for me.' Andor hasn't just deepened Cassian's story, it's retroactively elevated Rogue One. The choices, the trauma, the urgency, all of it carries a sharper edge now that fans know what came before. All episodes of Andor Season 2 are now streaming on Disney+. So if you haven't already… it might be time for a Rogue One rewatch. Just don't be surprised if it hits you a little harder this time.

LEGO Joins Early Prime Day With Star Wars Millennium Falcon at a New Record-Low Price
Star Wars fans are, historically, pretty committed to what they love. It makes them incredibly easy to buy presents for, because basically anything that's related to Star Wars is a good shout, and it's going to be really well received too. It can be hard to find a quality gift though, whether you're looking for yourself or someone else. These days, one of the best gifts you can give any of them, outside of a trip to Disney World, is a good Lego set. See at Amazon Lego sets hold their value well though, which means it can be hard to get them for a more reasonable price. Thankfully, a good set goes on sale here and there, and right now, that means that you can get this Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon while it's just $68. That's a 20% discount on the normal price, and that's a small price to pay for a 25th anniversary collectable. Piece By Piece The Millennium Falcon is undoubtedly one of the most iconic spaceships of any film ever. There's just no denying it, and anyone who tries is either lying or just trying to wind you up, so keep that in mind if they try and argue. It's iconic because it's integral to the original Star Wars trilogy, and it's the mighty ship of Han Solo, who is cooler than Luke Skywalker in every possible way. This Lego set lets you quite literally build your own one up from scratch, and once you've spent a few evenings putting together this 921-piece Lego set, you'll have an amazing model of the Falcon to admire forever more. This is a gift that gives at least twice. The first one is the chance to actually build the Lego set, but from then on, it's just an incredibly cool model you get to enjoy every time you see it. It's an incredible sight on its own, but it's also a gateway into more gifts later on if you decide to grab more of the Star Wars ships to build, or just any other great Lego model. This makes for an incredible present or impulse buy, whether you're getting it for a younger Star Wars fan or an older one. Given that it's normally $85 too, being able to pick it up for $68 instead is a deal worth making the most of. We don't know how long the deal will last, but it's a good one, so we don't recommend waiting too long. See at Amazon
