Promising reviews: “This puzzle fulfills its purpose of distracting me from the dumpster fire that is 2020.” —TheDentedSubaru

“Love this puzzle!! It comes with a printed poster of the puzzle, which works very well when checking puzzle pieces against the picture to see where they might go. Much easier than looking at the picture on the cover of the box that is usually holding the puzzle pieces.

A pair of cute dinosaur tea infusers — your morning tea session just got a little prehistoric! Simply fill the bottom half of your dino-friend with your tea of choice and let it seep in its ~muggy~ swamp.


amazon.com

Promising review: “I like how the two pieces snap together, unlike traditional tea infusers, because it allows for fewer tea leaves to escape into the tea. I love the silicone material because you can handle practically all parts of the infuser straight out of the tea without getting burnt. I also like to squeeze my leaves to get more flavor, and the bottom of the infuser held the expanded leaves very well and allowed me to do that without making a mess like other tea infusers I have tried. Love the long, sturdy design because you don’t have to worry about anything falling down into your tea.” —Emily S Mcadam

Get it from Amazon for $12.95.

Amazon

Promising review: “I am so happy with this fitness hoop! Totally brings back memories. But this is not the same hollow plastic fitness hoop with the ball bearings in them from the ’70s. This is definitely a fitness hoop and I love it! I chose this particular design because I didn’t want to go with something too heavy. The hoop was easy to put together, feels like excellent quality, and I like the color combination. It’s been over four decades since I used a Hula-Hoop, but I didn’t have a problem with getting my old hips going again. I still need practice to keep it up, but right now, I’m just hooping away and having fun while watching TV.” —buy4myDogs

Promising review: “I am not very limber and I have chronic spine issues, so having a block and strap was essential for me to do yoga.

A Book of the Month subscription because the last time you read a book for pleasure was…wait…you don’t remember do you? Every month, you’ll get to choose between five amazing books so you can get back to being the bookworm you were always destined to be!

a model smiles, reading a book on their bed


Book of the Month

My former coworker Emily Shwake loves Book of the Month:

“During the first week of every month, I go into my account on the site to scroll through the different options. I’m given a sentence-long synopsis, the cover image, and the genre to help me choose between the five books. When the indecision sets in, I can go through the book’s details page, which offers a longer synopsis and a book review from one of the panel judges. The page also has a few characteristics of each title — unreliable narrator, feminist, slow build, “movie-ish” read, etc. — which is nice for figuring out what kind of ~experience~ I’m in the mood for. Plus, the graphics are all super cute. ☺️

Once I finally decide what I want, the package arrives on my doorstep about a week later. I honestly feel like I’m getting a gift and I feel so special. Oh, and there’s always the option to skip a month if none of the choices are screaming your name, or if you’re still working on the book from last month!” —Emily Shwake
