Could it be any cuter?

Go a little deeper during your next night in with this thought-provoking deck of cards.

This might just be the best way to wind down on a winter day. The kit comes with a self-warming hand and cuticle mask for your winter-chapped hands and a foot- and heel-softening mask for your boot-hardened feet. Light the fire, turn on Hallmark, and let these masks work their magic.

Many people are still getting their sweat on at home—and maybe getting a bit bored with it. Help your friend crank things up with this set of three-pound sand-filled ankle weights. They really up the ante on leg lifts and stepping sequences, making them especially great for apartment dwellers who can jump around to get those hearts racing.

Waffles are always a good idea, but when you’re tight on space, a big appliance isn’t high on the priority list. Enter this adorable mini waffle maker decorated with a colorful floral design.

Gluing and framing the puzzle once complete is not required, but highly recommended.

This tiny little box is perfect for your astrology-loving friends.
