"The Book with No Pictures" by "The Office" star B.J. Novak
The book is recommended for ages 5–8.

Promising review: "Our 4-year-old is always pestering us to 'let me see the pictures' of her books every night, making storytime drag on forever, so I thought this would be great to chill her out at bedtime. NOT! She laughs so hard she gets the hiccups and has tears rolling down her face by the time we're two-thirds through the book! What a perfect idea!" — Straight Outta the Suburbs

A Baby Yoda night light
I am admittedly obsessed with The Child and can't get enough of him -- and that includes letting him reign over my bathroom at night in the form of the night light.

Promising review: "So cute and I love that it turns on when it senses it is dark. Would also make a cute gift! Could be brighter, but it is perfect for what I was looking for and adds fun to my home." — Julie

A screaming goat figurine
It will elicit endless laughter each time they click it and it shouts. It also comes with a teeny tiny book any goat-lover will appreciate.

Promising review: "This little piece of screaming plastic has created an excellent outlet for resolving frustrations in our home. Every time a conflict or struggle arises we push the little goat, get a gratifying screech, chuckle, and move on throughout our day. No regrets on purchasing this. When you get one, get four or five because you're going to want to share with family and friends." — Amazon Customer

A pack of Lucky Fortune collectible bracelets
Promising review: "This was my daughter’s favorite Christmas present. This product is not advertised so it was a genuine surprise! The bracelets are well made and the cookies 'make a good backpack keychain' per my daughter. Santa brought her the take-out box with four additional cookies so it was a great pairing. I have since ordered the take-out box for a birthday gift and my other daughter has asked for bracelets for Valentine's! Definitely recommended for those kiddos who love surprise toys!" — Tsetterl

Silicone paw print joystick caps
Provide your little gamer with a little extra support.

Promising review:
"SO ADORABLE. The texture feels really nice to game with (especially if you get sweaty hands like me). I'm a tactile person and they're very soothing to touch. They're easy to pop on and they don't slip and rotate like some others I have used. Great purchase, I can't use joy cons without them now." — Julie

A mini waving inflatable tube man
Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9 volt battery my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next!

He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." — Robert Wurstner

A book of 642 tiny things to draw
Promising review: "Bought this for my very artistic 13-year-old daughter. She's forever asking, 'What should I draw?' I crossed my fingers when I ordered this, as we've tried many other books to inspire her that didn't. When I gave it to her, I was expecting a lukewarm response. However, as she thumbed through the book, she started giggling and smiling and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I even got a spontaneous hug. She ran to the door when her dad got home to show him the book. And I think that the 642 options may just keep her inspired for a few weeks! Any book that can charm a 13-year-old girl is a keeper in my book!" — Fascinated viewer

A Haunted Mansion board game
Promising review: "I’m a huge Disney Parks fan, and have been looking forward to the release of a proper Haunted Mansion board game, especially since it was designed by the same company that worked on Villainous. I was initially worried the game would be too simple and not that re-playable, but I was wrong! While it’s still definitely simple, we played four games after opening the box and still wanted to play more! The instructions are very easy to understand, and get you playing quickly. The games aren’t very long, so it’s easy to start another game. Because of how simple and easy to learn it is, it’s a great game to break out for a game night with new players, unlike how Villainous takes a few games in order to get a grasp on the rules." — Hayden Allred

A classic Tamagotchi
There's also a super cool R2-D2 version available!

Promising review: "My 11-year-old daughter came to me one day and asked me for a Tamagotchi for her upcoming birthday. I thought, 'Wow that sounds SO familiar!!' Sure enough, it was the same thing from when we were in high school — the little gigapet that needs constant care and beeps constantly. LOL! It’s a nice blast from the past!" — Amy W.C.

You've likely come across these while scrolling TikTok after your kiddos have (finally) gone to sleep.

This toy is recommended for kids ages 3 and up.

Promising review: "My 8-year-old daughter has loved collecting Mini Brands and was really excited for Series 2! She noted how one of the packages looked so real that they even had a word search on it. The detail is awesome and they are so fun to collect! She really wants to get some rare ones so hopefully we’ll find them soon!" — Heidi M.

A four-pack of Bluey figures
Promising review: "My almost 3-year-old is obsessed with Bluey, and I kinda am too! It's an adorable show, and actually humorous, so I don't mind him wanting to watch it all day every day. So when I saw these figures available I had to snatch them up for him! I gave them to him for Easter, and he hasn't put them down since! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Great quality, great price and fast shipping!" — Amanda Eboli

A tortilla-shaped blanket
Promising review: "I bought one for each of my two teen nieces. They LOVE them. Anytime they come over for the weekend, they have their huge soft tortilla blankets with them to snuggle up in while we watch movies. They are incredibly soft, even after washing. The colors are very accurate and did not fade after washing. There has been no pilling, loose strings, or loss of density in the fibers. Which speaks volumes because these girls run around with them as capes and drag them all over the place with them. So they get washed frequently to say the least." — ShannonDaly

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in four sizes).
21
A mini waffle maker that makes heart-shaped waffles
Promising review: "Adorable — if not particularly practical — waffle maker for someone who doesn't need to churn out a big breakfast spread in limited time. I got this as a gift for my 12-year-old daughter, who is becoming exceptionally interested in cooking and baking. The waffle maker is adorable, so we got major points for that; it's also very easy to use, with no bells and whistles — not even a power switch. The iron plates are very nonstick, and hopefully will stay that way. For a family of four, we found the most efficient way to make waffles for everyone was to make as many waffles as we could as quickly as we could — two minutes or so will give you a pale but cooked waffle. Once you've stacked up a decent number of waffles, load them up into the toaster oven and you'll have a nice tall stack of hot, crispy waffles all at once." — K. Lee

A Disney Princess necklace activity set
BuzzFeed editor Chandni Reddy had great things to say about this craft: "My preschooler is OBSESSED with making these necklaces and I love that it keeps her off the screen. She totes her creations around in the adorable carry case and enjoys making Mommy (and Daddy!) wear them."

Promising review: "Best Christmas gift ever! Highly recommended!!If you ask my daughter what her favorite thing she got for Christmas, she'd pick this necklace set! And she got a brand-new super-nice 'Frozen 2' bike and matching helmet. But played with this all morning! The necklaces can easily undo and be redone many times. She redesigned and made them seriously all morning long! Which was so amazing! My husband and I were able to clean the house and cook Christmas lunch for family coming, uninterrupted. I was a little worried she wouldn’t like it much and beads would be everywhere and once she made them she would be done, but the way it’s made, she can easily pull the necklace apart and re-do it! Also the beads only go through on one side so it made it very easy for her without beads falling off and going all over." — Megan Williamson

Afterward she used it the entire time we were there. And she said, 'It’s my favorite!!' I will be purchasing it again for one of my friend's 6-year-old girl.
