Unstable Unicorns, a friendship-destroying strategy game about unicorns and betrayal. Be the first to build up an army of seven unicorns using action cards to slow down your opponents. Promising review:"I love that this game is easy to understand. The first time I played with a group of friends, the game went on for two hours because we could brilliantly sabotage each other and team up so no one won but everyone was close. I've played quick rounds and long rounds, and you can kind of control what is happening with what you're willing to play. ONE OF THE BEST PARTS: You can play with a big group or with just two people. There is a guide for how to play with two people (taking out some cards) that still works and is really fun!!!" — Brooklyn Get it from Amazon for $20. 2. A melting Dali-inspired clock if this surrealist painter is one of your favorites, and having this iconic design will remind you of "The Persistence of Memory." Promising review: "This is an awesome clock for anyone who loves Dali and surrealist art. It is a great value for the money, considering it is super cool and seems to be good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble, which is very cool. The metallic part is also plastic, which is fine. It ticks a bit loudly, but I personally like that. I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." — Zach Get it from Amazon for $13.89. 3. A set of eight adorable mason jar shot glasses that'll give your next pre-game session a fun, yeehaw kind of vibe. They even come with little lids so you can take your lemon drop shot with you to the next party location! Promising review:"These are so cute! You can use these as shot glasses, decor, or storage for thumbtacks, small nails, paper clips, or something small. They are great quality with thick glass and a perfect fitting lid." — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 4. A durable inflatable pool with two cushioned backrests and seats so you can unwind after a long day by going splishy-splashy. And to make things even more comfortable, grab this floating drink holder and stay outside for hours. Promising review:"Oh, boy, where do I even begin with this inflatable pool? It's like they took a slice of paradise, added a pinch of nostalgia, and sprinkled it with a generous dose of 'I don't want to adult today.' It's like they designed this pool with adults in mind! I can stretch out without feeling like a sardine in a can. There's enough space for me, my beer, and a rubber ducky named Sir Quacks-a-Lot. This isn't just an inflatable pool; it's a lifestyle. It's where deadlines drown, and worries wade in the shallow end. TL;DR: It's my personal oasis in the sea of responsibility." — moot Get it from Amazon for $62.99. 5. An extra-thick foldable floor mattress because the best part of having friends over as an adult is having impromptu sleepovers we don't have to ask our parents' permission for. You'll also get a dust-proof cover and a pair of straps to make storing it easier. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought this because I was moving into my new apartment and needed a temporary bed. This one is really comfortable and easy to store, so now I use it as a spare bed when I have friends crash for a night. They were surprised by how comfortable it was as well. Definitely a good buy." — Nick Wrght Get it from Amazon for $124.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 6. An out-of-this-world hanging UFO planter to house your most mystical of small indoor blossoms. Yeah, I've been meaning to tell you that your cacti's got some strange aura surrounding you see it? Original Earthlings is a small business crafting unique indoor planters! Promising review:"So cute! Perfect for our Vegas desert alien–themed bathroom. Has a drainage hole and is well-made. Perfect size for a fist-sized plant." — AMANDA HILL Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 7. A funky green crayon vase that'll brighten up your home with a fun pop of color! Bring a little of that elementary school/stick figure/coloring outside the lines energy to your space. You won't regret it! Amazon PSA: Since there's no drainage hole on the base, it is only ideal as a piece of decor. Promising review:"Got this for my office and for Lego flowers I had, and I love it! I was nervous that the mouth of it would be too small, but you could definitely fit several stems in it. The colors are so fun. It feels well-made and high quality!" — Lijah Get it from Amazon for $26.95. 8. A Bluetooth karaoke machine so you and your bestie can turn your living room into the best karaoke bar in all of downtown. This portable machine comes with two microphones and a rechargeable battery. Promising review: "Well, all I can say is WOW!! This has good sound and quality!! When my daughter isn't doing karaoke, I use it as a wireless speaker. The wireless microphones sound amazingly good, with no static, squealing, or echo! I recommend this and would buy it again!!" — mary gish Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in six colors). 9. A set of four textured stemless wineglasses whose rainbow confetti-like appearance will help you set the tone for your parties (but only if you like having fun). Handcrafted by Mexican artisans from recycled glass, these glasses are sure to make the next bottle of pinot grigio you pop open taste even better. That's science. Uncommon Goods Promising review:"We had some friends over for a little fiesta, and the glasses were the star of the show! They are even more gorgeous in person, and they added an element of fun and lightheartedness to our festivities. I love creating unique tablescapes, so I paired them with the weighted wine covers from Uncommon Goods for one-stop shopping. The covers help differentiate glasses. Cheers!!" — Fun Foodie Get it from Uncommon Goods for $86. 10. A whimsical tufted side chair with gorgeous floral upholstery, curved back, and gold-colored legs sure to liven up your home. You're gonna have to get used to your guests constantly asking where you got this cute and comfy chair. Wayfair Promising reviews: 'Beautiful, stylish chair! We just love it! Easy and super quick to assemble. It's comfortable and we love the way the back of the chair curves around.' — Anonymous "I am over the moon for this chair. My guest room is now my sanctuary and this chair really pulled everything together with a focal point." — Lara Get it from Wayfair for $157.99+ (available in five colors). 11. A waterproof Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card deck because you'll wanna play this fun, easy to learn, and fast-paced game by (or, dare I say, in) the pool. A round is sure to end in a barrel of laughs! Promising reviews:"These are so much fun to have when playing poolside. Don't have to worry about them getting ruined." — Richard Crumb "I bought these cards because I have young children at home and I prefer durable products. They're also great for adults, especially since game nights often involve food and drinks, and accidents can happen. These cards are perfect! They don't stain or get dirty, and you can take them anywhere." — MBM Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 12. And a set of waterproof Uno Splash cards so you can whoop some butt in between doing underwater handstands. Are you showing off? Sure. But do you only have one card left in your hand and it's a Draw 4? Also true. Promising review: "Love that these come with a clip. Makes it so handy to travel with and not lose any of the cards.

It's perfect for those sunny afternoons in the backyard or a day out at the park with friends and family." — Antonio Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 14. A kooky and creepy haunted house soap dispenser that glows in the dark, meaning you can find your way to the sink without turning on that cursed big light. If it's always Halloween in your home, then why don't you already have this in your bathroom? Amazon Promising review:"I love the fact that it glows in the dark. It's solid and sturdy. Easy to fill. The pump works great, and it holds a really good amount of product. Would definitely recommend." — Amber Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 15. An all-weather three-seater patio couch as comfy as it is stylish. Made from durable rattan wicker, this couch will become the glue holding your outdoor spring gatherings together.

Check out this equally cute and modern one from Amazon! Promising review:"Spent ages trying to find a good acrylic clear stand that would also hold records, look good, AND be sturdy. Bought this thinking it might be a temporary solution, but it's spot on! Records fit perfectly at the bottom, and my Rega turntable on top. Acrylic is thick and clear. Love that it doesn't take up visual room and just fits seamlessly." — Marianne Cantwell Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in six colors). 17.

Promising review:"After deciding to have a girls' date with a few gal pals, I ordered this puzzle, and it is just beautiful and a great value! The quality of the pieces was great, nothing missing, and it was challenging but definitely fun. It was the perfect way to spend the day with some good friends." — Michael A. Luis Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 18. A stainless-steel firepit to keep you warm on chilly spring nights as you make s'mores and share ghost stories. It even comes with a grill grate and cover, so you can cook a few burgers outside this spring. Promising review:"This firepit offers all the ambiance you need. It is super easy to start the fire, and the wood packs make it easier if that's what you're looking for. The fire gets going fast and develops a nice hot ember bed (all from one pack). I was very impressed and wasn't expecting that. This could be used without the wood packs if you have your own wood. Either works perfectly. The pit sits off the ground and flames are contained well within the pit. The design was done very well. Lastly, the heat this throws off is amazing. I was sitting a couple of feet away and felt a lot of warmth. This isn't one of those pits you have to hover over for heat." — Michele R Get it from Amazon for $195+ (available in three sizes). 19. Or a practical 2-in-1 fireplace you can also toss ice into and use as a drinks cooler — when it's not aflame, of course. A backyard must-have! The firepit comes with a mesh screen lid, poke, rain cover, and assembly instructions. Promising review:"Excellent product for the price! A lot of screws to be placed, but that's it; assembly was easy, and I did it alone in under 45 minutes. Had no problems with the threaded holes for the screws like some seem to have had. It's great that it comes with a spark screen, grill, long fork, and a rain cover (I used it last night for several hours, and it was perfect). Got the copper-colored one. It looks really nice, people are shocked by the price when they see it. Very pleased with purchase." — S. Bastura 20. A nostalgia-inducing countertop popcorn machine for wow-ing your friends on movie nights. This can make up to three gallons of deliciously perfect popcorn per batch! Promising review:"Love this machine! Great for the family on movie nights and entertaining larger parties." — AE "Very fun, and the kids love to come to our house and enjoy warm popcorn!" — NC2CA Get it from Amazon for $169.95+ (available in two colors). 21. A fancy-shmancy mini framed magnet featuring a sophisticated art print that'll turn your fridge into a museum worthy of a high ticket price. BEmbellished Designs / Etsy BEmbellished Designs is a Maryland-based small Etsy shop. Promising review:"Omg, this is literally the cutest thing ever and so well made. Love it!" — Lori Cook Get it from BEmbellished Designs on Etsy for $14.99 (available in seven styles). 22. A portable outdoor Bluetooth projector and screen because the only thing that could possibly make movie nights better would be to host them in your backyard now that the weather has become more agreeable. Promising review:"I couldn't be happier with this projector! The picture quality is absolutely stunning, even on a large 120" screen. The colors are vibrant, the details are crisp, and it feels just like being at the movies. The sound output is surprisingly good for a projector — clear and immersive without needing external speakers immediately, though you can connect them if desired. What impressed me the most was how quiet the projector was during operation. It runs so smoothly that you barely notice it's there, which makes the viewing experience even better. And the price? Unbeatable for this level of quality. It's rare to find a projector that balances picture quality, sound, and affordability so perfectly. Highly recommended for movie lovers, gamers, or anyone looking to upgrade their home theater!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $79.98. 23. A retro tabletop arcade game console equipped with three Pac-Man games sure to keep your guests busy trying to beat each other's highest score. Amazon, Promising review:"I purchased this as a gift for my mother, and it was a huge hit! She was absolutely fascinated by it, instantly transported back to the classic arcade days she remembered so fondly. The compact size is perfect for a tabletop setup, and the 7-inch screen delivers crisp, vibrant visuals that capture the retro feel perfectly. Having three classic games included makes it even more enjoyable, offering variety while staying true to that nostalgic charm." — Bologna Get it from Amazon for $149.99. 24. A stainless-steel pizza oven insert — not all barbecues have to be limited to burgers and hotdogs. This will fit in 22.5-inch kettle grills. Promising review:"I really researched and shopped around before I purchased this from Amazon. I cooked my first pizza on it, and it came out like a pro!! We will be using this, especially during the summer, as it pretty much stays in the triple digits here (the Mojave Desert). I cannot believe it took less than 10 minutes to bake an entire pizza. I recommend that you go to the KettlePizza website to get pointers from some of the celebrity chefs that they have videos of. These pointers really did help me to cook a perfect pizza!" — Kim Suzanne Get it from Amazon for $144.95. 25. A double hammock — this comes with a stand because the sun has been begging you to take a nap outside since it started peeking out of those spring clouds. Amazon Promising review:"This is hands-down the best purchase I have made in YEARS. I use this hammock as my bed replacement, and I have never looked back. As a matter of fact, I still snuggle in every night and have a little contented sigh of GRATITUDE because I KNOW I will sleep well. I don't mean sleep like a baby (right!) I mean sleep like a teenager at noon: mouth open, drooling, and totally OUT." — Dawn Grubb Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in four colors). 26. Monopoly Cheaters Edition if you've ever been tempted to cheat and just wished there were a game that encouraged it. Here you can follow, bend, or break the rules in order to win! Cheat cards even help you decide exactly how to attempt it. Amazon, Promising review:"Family of six here. Who knew I had a bunch of sneaky cheaters in my house?! My 10-year-old asked for this game for Christmas. It's a big hit at our house. It's a struggle for me to keep up with trying to spot everyone else's sneakiness and try to play my own game, but it's been hilarious. Even our 5-year-old was able to be sneaky and get money 💵 from the bank without anyone noticing." — Saadia Get it from Amazon for $31.53. 27. A farmhouse chic bar unit featuring woven rattan and a gorgeous caramel brown wood that'll keep the customers coming back for more than just mint juleps. Its interior has two tiers of shelving for all your wine storing needs, and it has a built-in stemware rack. 28. Or a more compact mid-century bar cart because it can be converted from a bar cart into a craft cart in the blink of an eye depending on what kind of festivities you have planned. Amazon, Promising reviews:"I'm so glad I trusted my gut and bought this. It only took hubby 15 minutes to assemble. Looks like an expensive piece, but it was so affordable. Now, we have a cute way to display all our alcohol without it being tucked in a bunch of cabinets all over the house. It's definitely a statement piece. I can't wait for people to come over and look at it!" — April Collett "Found this as [an alternative] for the Urban Outfitters Victoria Bar Cart, and it's 10/10." — erin Get it from Amazon for $94+ (available in eight colors). 29.

A pair of hydrating gemstone bar soaps because why shouldn't cleaning your hands feel like a magical experience? They even have real crystals inside of them! Amazon Promising reviews:"They lather really well, unlike an awful lot of artsy soaps. They smell really nice too." — Christina Li "I purchased this for my adult daughter's birthday. As you probably know, they are hard to shop for. The look in her eyes when she opened the package said it all. She also said it was so beautiful that she might use it as bathroom decor. This is elegance in the soap world." — Jus Sheryl Get them from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in four styles).
