I love gift exchange games. So much that I’ve actually created over ten original gift exchange games you can find here. This year I created two new gift exchange games that I’m super excited about. Scrooge Your Neighbor is a gift exchange game with fun A Christmas Carol inspired cards that add twists and turns throughout the game. And this Santa’s Helper gift exchange game? This is, as my dad would say, a gift exchange flipped on its head....

To buy: $14 (was $20); amazon.com. So many shoppers have said the best-selling cleansing cloth has leveled up their cleansing experience while preventing waste and saving time. According to the brand, one MakeUp Eraser cloth is equal to 3,600 makeup wipes and can last up to three to five years—better yet, it’s also machine-washable. One reviewer noted that switching to the cloth makeup remover saved them from “having to purchase makeup remover wipes or cotton pads....
Based in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, these shows not only feature covetable Scandinavian home décor that will motivate you to “hygge” your own space, but the characters also know how to survive (and even thrive!) during long, dark winters and bitterly cold weather. Here are five of the best Scandinavian TV shows on Netflix for cozy home décor ideas. Bonus: We’ve noted what to keep an eye out for!...

You’ll find deals on thousands of products across all categories, from home decor to garden tools.

As far as Sherwin-Williams colors and color of the year picks go, Naval SW 6244 is a pretty good one. Some of this year’s choices are super trendy and statement-making, but this one is easy to bring home and use almost everywhere. Blue is already a top paint color for any home, but this deep, rich hue is both bold and calming; it’s also striking, but in a way that isn’t off-putting....
You can’t blame me for getting distracted from what’s actually happening in the plot—it’s been a while since I casually browsed for things I don’t need, so binge-watching the show is like window-shopping. However, Cloud 9 employees have driven me to add something to my IRL (virtual) cart that isn’t available on their shelves. Superstore is not the first time I’ve seen a shirt folding board on TV, but its repeated use sticks out to me....

To do so, it’s formulated with a hydrating and skin-nourishing trio of squalane, apple, and watermelon, plus collagen-boosting peptides that tone and firm the skin. The moisturizer also features a combination of probiotics and prebiotics, which work in harmony to calm irritated skin....
The Skechers GOwalk Joy Slip-On Sneakers are only $45 right now and available in seven color options. Made out of what the brand calls its “innovative and highly responsive” 5Gen midsole cushioning, these convenient mesh slip-ons are breathable, light weight, and designed to go the distance. In fact, nearly 2,100 shoppers gave them a five-star rating, with one saying “they’re the best shoes ever” and feel as if they’re “walking on a cloud....
Zimasilk’s reviewer-loved Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is made from 100 percent mulberry silk. The fabric is hypoallergenic and gentle on skin, doesn’t absorb oils and creams like cotton pillowcases, and keeps hair knots at bay. Experts agree about the benefits of silk pillowcases. Cotton is prone to wrinkles, which can cause creases on the face. Silk pillowcases remain smooth throughout the night, and the fabric is less prone to absorbing product than its cotton counterpart....
Unlike other wire-free bras, including bralettes and sports bras, wireless bras offer the same shaping and support as underwire bras but generally feel way more comfortable. Shoppers have voiced their support for the Hanes Natural Lift Wire Free Bra—and it’s on sale at Walmart for as little as $11. To buy: $11 (was $40), walmart.com. Available in sizes small to 2X (accommodating bra sizes 34A to 46D), the bra’s cups feature a foam lining to provide light coverage and shaping....
One of the biggest factors that can alter how well you sleep is your bedding, and your pillow is a major part of that. What goes into making a pillow seem hotel-quality all comes down to what makes you comfortable. When shopping for a pillow, I consider a few factors including pillow height, breathability, and cushioning. Plus, if you’re a bargain shopper like myself, price is definitely a factor. And the Snuggle-Pedic bamboo memory foam pillow is the bedding essential that truly shines above the rest in all four categories....
“This was meant to be used as the formal living room, thus the fireplace, so I originally began the design with that in mind,” says principal designer David Samuel Ko of Maison Ko. “But as my clients realized that they were working from home more and more and weren’t going into the office as much, we decided that it would be best used as an office.” The space is set right off the home’s front door, and its first impression was one of turquoise walls with white detailing along the wainscoting and trim....
What Sprouts Cause Food Poisoning? In fact, the CDC includes raw alfalfa and bean sprouts among the foods most likely to cause food poisoning, and sprouts have been investigated as the source of past foodborne outbreaks of Salmonella and E. coli. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’s FoodSafety.gov., a contaminated sprout–caused outbreak occurred every year between 1995 and 2011. They were first recognized as a potential source of food poisoning during the mid-1990s and have caused several outbreaks since—30 between 1998 and 2011 alone....
To curate a list of only the best products, we spent hours researching top-performing options while comparing factors like ingredients, coverage, finish, and shade options. We also spoke with Kelsey Deenihan, bareMinerals global makeup artist ambassador, for expert advice on shopping for—and applying—concealer for dark circles. She notes that those with severe dark circles may want to prep their undereye area with a color-corrector. “The deeper purple your undereyes are, the more of an orange you’ll need to correct,” she says....
Typically filled with duck or geese down and feathers, these comforters are warm, soft, and “can last a lifetime if cared for properly,” says Elina Winnel, the Sleep Expert & Master Sleep Coach behind The Sleep Expert. “People often enjoy the comfort of a fluffy, snuggly down comforter.” Because there are so many options on the market, we’ve researched the best picks, taking into consideration shell material, fill material, sizes, care, and certifications....
To help you find the best flannel sheets for your home, we tested 29 in our Lab, evaluating them on quality, texture, breathability, durability, value, and warmth. We also sought the advice of textile experts, including Ruthie Osswald, designer at Brooklinen, and Kristie Rhodes, Manager of Woven Product Development at Cotton Incorporated. Our top pick is the Coyuchi Cloud Brushed Organic Flannel Sheets for their soft texture, medium heft, and lack of shrinkage after washing....
“Secure food storage containers are ideal as they prevent cooked foods from leaking and protect food from harmful bacteria,” says Rosa Lu, product manager at Buydeem. There are endless options available when it comes to food storage containers – glass, plastic, stainless steel, and even silicone storage bags. To find the best food storage containers, we researched a variety of picks, keeping in mind material, size, capacity, and usage. We also consulted Rosa Lu, product manager at Buydeem, for additional insight....
In order to throw a stress-free and enjoyable party, there’s one element, in particular, that makes it truly memorable: an elegant yet simple table setting. Basic dinnerware, flatware, and glasses should set the stage for your party without letting it get too busy. While you could place giant floral arrangements and copious votive candles on the table, simple bud vases and a scented candle are a more affordable and intimate option....
