Uno No Mercy: a bestselling, but controversial, spin on the classic card game. There are tougher action cards (like Skip Everyone) and rules (if you get 25+ cards in your hand, you're OUT) to up the tension. If you were on speaking terms with all your family members before playing, you might not be after a few rounds...
A giant heart lollipop light — I'm drooling just looking at it! Pop this Valentine decor on your wall or desk to give guests a sweet surprise when they walk in.

A set of 10 retractable Crayola markers, which honestly should have always existed. How many of us suffered the fate of losing a marker cap or attempted to color only to find the red has completely dried out? Kids these days have it easy — just click and a fresh marker tip pops out, ready for art.

See how Shakespeare got his mojo in S.F. Shakes' ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona'
Self-discovery on adventures to new lands. Cross-dressing in disguise to overhear the truth. Falling in love at first sight with such speed and totality as to banish all memory of your actual girlfriend. Pun-filled badinage. Such motifs recur throughout Shakespeare's oeuvre. In the early play 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona,' now in a free, traveling San Francisco Shakespeare Festival production, audiences can get a sense of how 'Twelfth Night,' 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' 'As You Like It' and more came to be. In the show, performed in multiple Bay Area parks, Valentine (Tyler Aguallo) and Proteus (Brennan Pickman-Thoon) test their friendship when they both fall for Silvia (Emily Newsome). In true Shakespearean fashion, characters U-turn from one emotional extreme to another: 'Who should be trusted, when one's own right hand is perjured to the bosom?' says Valentine to his pal, only to instantly forgive in the next line: 'Who by repentance is not satisfied is nor of heaven nor earth.' Ely Sonny Orquiza directs, resetting the show in the Midwest and California. "The Two Gentlemen of Verona": 6 p.m. Saturday-Sunday, Aug. 9-10. Through Aug. 24 at Red Morton Park, Vera Ave. at Valota Road, Redwood City. • Aug. 30-Sept. 7 at Jerry Garcia Amphitheater, McLaren Park, 40 John F Shelley Drive, S.F. • Sept. 13-21 at Sue Bierman Park, Washington St. at Drumm St., S.F. Free. 415-558-0888.

A butt acne-clearing lotion formulated with tea tree oil to fight pimple-causing bacteria, helping clear existing acne and helping to prevent it from coming back in the long run.

Why waste precious carry-on space with bulky neck pillows when reviewers like this better?! It folds up thin and compact, and when you're ready to use it, just wrap it around your neck — underneath the soft fleece is an internal support structure designed to keep your head in a comfy position for sleeping upright. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes designed to reduce excess sweating for *up to seven days*(!!). Just swipe on before bed, and kiss those pit stains that ruin your favorite shirts goodbye. They're designed to be used for under the arms, but reviewers use them elsewhere too! A lightweight Cosrx SPF 50+ sunscreen (the same brand as the TikTok-viral snail mucin!) for anyone who isn't always the best at applying sunscreen (every! day!). This sebum-balancing formula has a moisturizer-like texture, contains skincare ingredients like cacao and vitamin E, feels breathable on the skin, leaves a semi-matte finish, and (reviewers agree!) it doesn't have a white cast, so applying it will feel like less of a chore. A TikTok-approved, compact Levoit air purifier with a true HEPA filter that's not only great for daily dust particles and pollen, but can really come in handy during wildfire season in the summertime too! A ~Fasta Pasta~ cooker to make perfectly al dente pasta right in the microwave — no turning on your stove and heating up your entire kitchen on days where every degree counts. Plus, no more waiting for the pot to boil either! Oxo's compact Cold Brew Rapid Brewer capable of making concentrated coffee in minutes (hot in two minutes, iced in just five) — without any electricity, paper filters, or magic. Just dilute however you'd like with water or milk and enjoy! You can even use the results on ice cream (affogatos are delicious) or in a delicious coffee cocktail. Or a HyperChiller that'll cool hot drinks by up to 130° in 60 seconds with zero dilution. So you can brew hot coffee, and then sixty seconds later, have a perfect iced drink ready to go! And a portable Chill-O-Matic instant beverage cooler perfect for anyone who simply cannot stand a lukewarm canned bevvie. Just pop in some ice and your 12-ounce can, and the cooler will spin the can, taking your seltzer, soda, or brewski to perfectly *crispy* in just! one! minute!
