36 Fun Products That Were Born To Be The Perfect Gifts
Washable, pet-safe fur markers so Fido can be the canvas for their next masterpiece. The set comes with 12 different colors that come off easily with shampoo so they can deck their dog out for holidays, birthdays, or when inspiration strikes. A Nickelodeon splat magnet for the proud '90s kid who's always up for a bowl of Cookie Crisp and a Hey Arnold! viewing session. Wavelength — a mind-reading board game that takes seconds to set up, minutes to learn, and only half an hour to play, making it perfect for the person who always wants to bring a game to the shindig. It's a great way to get to know your fellow party-goers and arguably a way better icebreaker than Two Truths and a Lie. A roll of pizza stickers because you never know when they're gonna need 600 miniature pie stickers. Well, I guess we do know. The answer is always. A set of vinyl coasters offering a retro (and super cute) way to protect their furniture from condensation. Guests that actually want to use a coaster? How the turntables. A layered necklace set with three classic chains — herringbone, curb, and rope — that'll elevate any outfit, even their dog-walking uniform. Thanks to their gold plating, the necklaces are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them a great budget option when solid gold is out of the question. A ceramic vase shaped like a stack of books featuring The Big Three — Wuthering Heights, Emma, and Little Women. Now, even their plants can feel well-read. A square magnet you can customize with a picture and sentimental song. Whether you're going with a sweet ballad for your partner or "Crazy Frog" for your weirdo best friend, it's sure to get a lot of use. An adorable ladybug pin in case they need to manufacture some extra luck. They can pop one on their lapel, hat, tote, or wherever else needs a tiny companion. A canvas board game tote for people who take game night seriously. The bag has a flat bottom and zipper to keep games secure while they're running over to a friend's house to destroy everyone at Monikers. There's also a small inner pocket for smaller games like Strawberry Sunset. Talking Hearts — a deck of conversation cards for couples looking to deepen their connection or just pass the time on a long trip. There are 200 questions, plus two wild cards to keep conversation flowing. A ribbon bookmark so even the novel on their bedside table doubles as charming decor. It may even convince them to finally finish that book you lent them last year. Murdle: Volume 1 — a book featuring 100 logic puzzles from the popular daily puzzle site, Murdle. Armchair detectives can work to crack the case and find out who did it, where, and with what. There are four levels of difficulty, ranging from elementary to impossible, so they can stay challenged as they go. A fancy book filled with lots of unusual knowledge so they can come prepared with interesting trivia the next time conversation falls flat. They can regale people with facts about Hollywood urban legends, presidential pets, strange sporting events, and more. A set of rainbow wineglasses ensuring every guest can have their favorite long as they all have different favorite colors. If a fight breaks out for the green glass, be assured that — at less than $10 a glass — you can always buy them a second set. A Sudoku board game, but with colored balls instead of numbers. They can pick a puzzle from the game book, set it up, and finish filling the board, ensuring no color repeats in any row, column, or square. This is great for people who love puzzles but struggle with numbers (me). A beeswax tulip candle that looks so much like the real thing, they could probably prank their guests when they light it up. I, for one, would never dare to set something so pretty on fire — it's going under a bell jar, Beauty and the Beast-style, forever. A "from the library of" page embosser or self-inking stamp for the amateur librarian in your life. It'll be the perfect apology gift for all the books you've borrowed and not given back yet. Look, sometimes it's more fun to collect books than read them! A set of Globbles, TikTok-famous fidget toys that are squishy, colorful, and stick to any surface they throw them at without leaving a residue. It'll soothe the childhood stress of throwing a sticky hand toy at the ceiling and getting screamed at by their parent for a week straight. A lil' kit that'll let them pretend to be a master candy sushi chef. It comes with everything they need to make two pieces of tamago and tuna nigiri, plus one ikura sushi. The salmon roe aspect looks tricky to pull off, but reviewers say they were pleasantly surprised by the painless process. A Clogs memory game that tests your ability to remember and match up to 24 pairs of vintage leather shoes. The pack comes with 48 cards and takes 30–40 minutes to play. A 10-year diary for the journaling experts who are ready to graduate from the famous 5-year journal. Your recipient gets five lines per day to jot down their experiences, plus a prologue and epilogue. Already a cute gift idea, but it's made even better by the gold foil details and delicate illustrations! A cleaning toy car that'll be as much a gift for the child as the parent; they'll be crowning you the champion gift giver when playtime becomes clean-the-floor time. The car can hold up to 160 pounds, so some adults can take a spin too! An alarmingly adorable capybara night-light to keep them company on sleepy summer evenings. They can bop their new silicone friend on the head to toggle through seven different colors and three dimness settings. And if you opt for the flower version, it comes with two different buds to hold. 🥹 A pretzel-making kit so they can enjoy warm, top-notch soft pretzels anytime they want — no flight to Germany needed. The box comes with step-by-step instructions with kid-friendly illustrations and color-coded ingredients so children as young as five can feel like total baking pros. OK, next question: Should we get some cheese sauce for dipping? A miniature wacky waving inflatable tube man in case they wanna grow up to be a used Hot Wheels salesman and need something to draw in new customers. Mystic Maze — a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle that reveals a secret "magic trick" when they complete it. There are also 50 Easter eggs hidden in the complicated design, so they're sure to be thoroughly entertained from start to finish. Teeny-tiny onigiri vases who look thrilled by the opportunity to hold their new clippings and flower buds. Each smiling rice ball is handcrafted, so they're all unique. A tin of emergency googly eyes sure to help out your friend whenever they're in a pinch during a prank war. The pack comes with three different sizes, so get ready for everything in their home to suddenly start staring back at you. A "Gracula" garlic crusher that ironically helps them with one of the most tedious chores in the kitchen. Just throw in the peeled cloves, twist, and feel grateful they Let the Right One their kitchen. A pair of the *iconic* Kaco pens (known for their adorable heart tops) in your choice of Pantone color. They have every Color of the Year going back to 2000, so you can pick a year with sentimental just their fave color. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit that comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel to display their tiny masterpieces. It's perfect for adults and teens looking for a quick project and kids working on their fine motor skills. A pocket library complete with mini books (including classics like It, The Hobbit, and Catcher in the Rye). They can give it a shake to satisfy their lust for destruction, then meditatively put the tomes back on their shelves when they need a little screen break. A cutie pie planner to help them be a busy bee, or more likely a take-it-slow sloth. There's room for appointments, errands, and people to in due time. A pair of darling ice cream bowls with squeal-worthy, flower-shaped bases. Warning: Their ice cream might melt into soup as they take one million photos of the bowls in action. A Lego daffodil kit for decor they can build themselves. The 216-piece set comes with everything they need to build four stems, and at less than $10, it's a steal compared to most Lego kits.

People Are Sharing The Absurd Things That Scared Them As Children, And It's Hilarious
Redditor u/ kismeticulous recently asked the people of Reddit, "What's something absolutely ridiculous you were terrified of as a kid that still kinda haunts you today?" Read on — that is, if you're not too much of a scaredy-cat: 1. "I was staying at my cousins' house and saw something on the floor. It looked like some kind of mold or mushroom I'd never seen before. Over the next week, my imagination got the best of me. It became a flesh-eating virus that was going to kill me in my sleep. One day, while waiting for it to rise up and attack me, a breeze rose up and the bane of my young existence fluttered. It was paper-thin. I touched it. It was slick. It was smooth. It was….a picture of the butt of a polar bear!" —u/ Suitably-Unsuitable 2. "There was an episode of Hey Arnold! where his grandpa tells some story about a train engineer that went mad and drove the train into hell. I had nightmares for weeks, and it still slightly freaks me out if I think about it now." —u/ Algothia 4. "The whale at the bottom of the pool, or the shark that will come out of the filters and pool drains." —u/ vintage_chick_ Universal / Everett Collection 5. "I was afraid of bugs crawling into my ears as I slept." —u/ Alive_River_4304 6. "I was terrified of the inside of the human body. For some reason, I went to college and studied the inside of the human body for eight years." —u/ thesevenleafclover 7. "The song 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow,' sung by Judy Garland in the original Wizard of Oz film. It gives me chills and a feeling of dread — and I don't know why." —u/ Lragce 8. "Dolls — especially those freakishly realistic ones. My siblings used to tease me with Annabelle and Chucky. It's not as bad now, but I'd rather still avoid them." —u/ kublyy 9. "There was a map of Quebec that hung on the wall of my third grade classroom. Dominating the right side of the map, of course, was the Atlantic Ocean. The increasing depth of the ocean was illustrated by deepening shades of blue. I remember the top right corner of the map, where there was the largest stretch of ocean, the water started light sky blue at the shore…then azure…then cobalt…then ultramarine…then navy…then indigo…and the very top right corner of that map was dead black. Every day, I stared at that corner. I imagined the abyssal depths it hinted at, the monsters lurking in that lightless world. Horrors that had never seen the sun. That map fucking terrified me." 11. "I was terrified of ketchup. I couldn't be near it, and the thought of it touching me repulsed me. Got some on my shoe in high school, cried, threw away my shoes, and walked barefoot for my last two periods of school." —u/ Ishinehappiness 12. "Coconuts. As my mom tells it, when I started crawling, my mom would find the biggest, hairiest coconut she could find at the grocery store and put it on the floor anywhere she didn't want me to go. I'd crawl up to it and immediately engage my reverse gear. Can't stand the things to this day." —u/ Individual-Spot2700 13. "I lived across from a forest, so at night I was always scared that there would be wolves that would come out and get me before I made it to the front door. I was always so scared when I was young, and I'd rush out the car to the front door." —u/ Roneobo 14. "Getting diabetes or cancer." —u/ serenagallen 15. "I had a reoccurring dream that Yosemite Sam lived under the backseat of my mom's minivan and would burn my legs with cigarettes. I hate riding in backseats of vans. My legs feel so exposed." —u/ beeksy 16. "The idea of dying. It got to the point where, if I thought about it, the thought would leave a hole in my stomach until I came to terms that I was being selfish for favoring life over death. I was terrified of it, solely because I didn't know what it would feel like or when it'd happen." —u/ cqane 17. "Escalators. I was convinced that some part of my clothing would get caught in the landings, and I would be stuck or mangled. I still have the habit of hopping onto the first step and hopping off the last to avoid the landings." —u/ Mamamollusk 18. "Grasshoppers. When I was really little, there was this massive grasshopper on the wall, and we were all looking at it. Some kid threw a rock at it, and it jumped off the wall onto me and crawled up the outside of my dress, up my face, and the top of my hair. I cried until my mum came and picked me up." —u/ I_love_ice_hockey 19. "Pinocchio. It's so weird, but he freaks me out." —u/ ceheyun And finally... 20. "The music video for 'Black Hole Sun' by Soundgarden. Holy shit, did that creep me out when I was a kid. I saw it for the first time while I was hanging out in the game room and I sprinted to the storage closet with my dog and refused to come out. I still think it's…unsettling." —u/ BeetlePies

Off the Grid: Sally breaks down USA TODAY's daily crossword puzzle, Right From the Start
There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today's puzzle before reading further! Right From the Start Constructor: Jake Halperin Editor: Anna Gundlach GERALD (65A: Arnold's best friend in "Hey Arnold!") Hey Arnold! is an animated TV series about a fourth grader named Arnold who lives with his grandparents. Although I've written about this show before, both times were mentions of the character of Helga, so I wasn't familiar with GERALD. As the clue mentions, GERALD (voiced by Jamil Walker Smith) is the 9-year-old best friend of the title character. ORTEGA (47D: "Stuck in the Middle" star Jenna) Stuck in the Middle is a Disney TV series that originally aired from 2016-2018. Jenna ORTEGA portrays Harley Diaz, the middle child in a family of seven children. ISSA (1A: Hoorae Media founder Rae) ISSA Rae founded Hoorae Media (pronounced "hooray") in 2020. Hoorae's productions include the TV shows Insecure, A Black Lady Sketch Show and Rap Sh!t. CVS (11A: Chain with famously long receipts) This clue made me laugh. A few years ago when we saw CVS clued as [Largest pharmacy chain in the U.S.], I wrote, "As I filled in this answer, I had the thought that an alternative clue could be [Pharmacy chain with the longest receipts]." LEA (16A: "The French Dispatch" actress Seydoux) The French Dispatch is the abbreviated title of the 2021 movie The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun. The movie follows three different storylines surrounding the publication of the final issue of a fictional newspaper. LÉA Seydoux stars as a prison guard and the muse for an imprisoned painter in the storyline, "The Concrete Masterpiece." SEA (23A: With 25-Across, novelty "pet" that is actually a shrimp) and MONKEY (25A: See 23-Across) It was a fun choice to pair these two answers together, since they are in the same row of the puzzle. When I was a kid, the SEA MONKEY was marketed extensively on TV and in comic books. I was curious, but my parents never gave in and purchased a SEA MONKEY kit. SEA MONKEYs are brine shrimp sold as novelty pets. They were given the name of SEA MONKEY because their tail vaguely resembles that of a MONKEY. They are sold as eggs, which hatch when added to water and augmented with yeast, borax, soda, salt, and some food (also included in the kit). The SEA MONKEY slogan is "The World's Only Instant Pets." I haven't thought about SEA MONKEYs in a long time! CANOED (33A: Paddled in a lake) and DROVE (41A: Went for a spin) Whether you're on a lake or the road, this puzzle has you covered. DENCH (38A: "J. Edgar" actress Judi) J. Edgar is a 2011 biographical movie about the career of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. The movie was produced and directed by Clint Eastwood. Leonardo DiCaprio portrays the title character, and Judi DENCH portrays Annie Hoover, J. Edgar Hoover's mother. YEN (45A: Currency in Hokkaido) Hokkaido is the second-largest island of Japan. The currency in Japan is the Japanese YEN. RABAT (57A: Capital of Morocco) Morocco is a country in North Africa. RABAT is its capital. PROPER FRACTIONS (61A: Ratios like 2/3 and 3/4, but not 4/3 and 3/2) Who put math in this word puzzle?! (Just kidding; I like it.) Here's a little math review. PROPER FRACTIONS are those with a numerator (the top number) that is less than the denominator (the bottom number). The value of a PROPER FRACTION is less than one. ART (64A: Mary Cassatt's field) Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) was an impressionist painter. Her ART includes "The Child's Bath," on display at the Art Institute of Chicago. ADOPTS (68A: Takes home a furry friend) My furry friend, Willow, is a fan of this clue. ENOLA (29D: ___ Holmes (Sherlock's sister)) I have previously written about ENOLA Holmes. HARRY (50D: "Call Me" singer Debbie) Debbie HARRY is the lead singer of the band Blondie. "Call Me" is a 1980 song by Blondie, which Debbie HARRY wrote the lyrics to as well as sang. "Call Me" is the theme song for the movie American Gigolo. ELOTE (51D: Cotija-covered corn) ELOTE is the term used in Central America and Mexico for an ear of corn. ELOTE is sold as street food in some regions of Mexico. The corn is charred on the grill, and served in a spicy and creamy cotija cheese sauce. TRAP (55D: "Home Alone" hazard) Let's all just take a moment to let it sink in that the movie Home Alone was released in 1990, meaning it will be 35 years old in November... Macaulay Culkin stars as eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, who sets a number of TRAPs for the burglars attempting to break into his family's home. RED (62D: Color of light with the longest wavelength) Here's a fun fact for you to share with your friends. Hooray for science in the crossword! A few other clues I especially enjoyed: EYES (34A: Body parts visible in the dark, in cartoons) AHA (24D: "Mystery solved!") YO-YO (35D: Toy that might go "around the world") FAIR WEATHER FANS (17A: People who support a team when it's doing well) JUST THE THING (26A: Exactly what's needed) MORAL SUPPORT (46A: Emotional encouragement) PROPER FRACTIONS (61A: Ratios like 2/3 and 3/4, but not 4/3 and 3/2) RIGHT FROM THE START: The word at the START of each theme answer is a synonym of the word RIGHT: FAIR, JUST, MORAL, and PROPER. I enjoy a synonym theme such as this one. It took me a few moments to realize that the word RIGHT in the title was not being used in the directional sense (opposite of left), but rather being used in the sense of FAIR, JUST, MORAL, and PROPER. This made for a nice "Aha!" moment. Thank you, Jake, for this enjoyable puzzle.
