Sometimes all that’s needed is joy for joy’s sake - gifts that bring humor and charm to spark delight in all who receive them.

For game night - a fun and funny hybrid of Scattegories & Uno that will leave everyone tongue-tied and laughing. Crack List available on Amazon.

And for smaller game nights - a slickly designed hyper-competitive two player game. Snakes of Wrath from West Coast Inc.

For a whimsical cup - a venus fly trap inspired strainer. Tea Trap Tea Infuser from Ototo.

Desk accessories that capture the vibe of 2025 - It’s Always Fucking Something from FunLab on Etsy, I’ve Got A Few Notes notepad collection from Brass Monkey, Fuck It. I’ll Figure It Out from Ladyfingers Letterpress on Rock Paper Scissors, and Do Not Want To Do List from boygirlparty.

Desk accessories for every type of pretend career scenario - a series of notepads to take orders, write prescriptions and give warnings. Playtime Pads bundle from The Paper & Plan Co.

For decorating her bag and stashing an airtag with some side-eye - a leather coin purse from Min & Mon. I also love their monster key fobs and paracord purse straps - different maker, similar vein, love this.

For their messiest snacks - powdered cheese fingers are a thing of the past with these chopstick-style snack grabbers. Perfect for while working or playing games. Snactiv available on Amazon. Pair these with an assortment of international potato chips for your own family chiplympics or try an order of this amazing looking popcorn.

For pancakes every Saturday - because what could be more delightful? A shake & squeeze bottle makes the prep so easy even the littlest sous chefs can be involved. Batter Mixer from Whiskware.

And because nothing can makes pancakes more delightful than syrup that sparkles (and is actually delicious). Snow Globe Sparkle Syrup from Runamok - adults shouldn’t miss out on their barrel-aged, smoked and cocktail-ready kits.

For pairing with any number of delightful fancy candles - an electric lighter with a sleek design and metal body that’s attractive enough for a space on the mantle. Flume Lighter from Nomadiq.

For a wild ride that lives up to its name- a hand cranked trike that spins and spins and spins. Radio Flyer Cyclone available on Amazon.

For decorating, journaling, labeling and making - a pocket-sized inkless printer that connects directly to their smartphone. Poooli Printer.

For the delight of a pink box of sweets - Swedish gummies by way of New York in a variety of mixes. Small gift box from BonBon.

And although perhaps better suited for the decadent guide - I can’t imagine something more delightful than a white chocolate infused freeze-dried strawberry. White Strawberry from Bokksu.

For squeezing out a few more hours of play despite the early sunsets - a vibrant glowing ball made of a novel reflective leather. Soccer Ball from Bright Sports.

For exploring miniature worlds - a surprisingly clear handheld microscope to take a closer look at anything. Digital Microscope available on Amazon.
