A flower bookmark kit, in-flight facial, A Court of Thorns and Roses coloring book, and 19 other unique and useful things to keep *you* entertained in economy.

You'll get 32 nails and damage-free tabs in this compact box. To use, add a tab to your natural nail and then hold the press-on onto your nail for 30 seconds. That's it! They should last up to a week, with many reviewers saying they lasted around two weeks.

Promising review: "These tab press-ons are perfect! They have it all: fun colors, a cute pattern, and they're so easy to apply. I got so many compliments on these, and I did them from the passenger seat of the car. If you're going to get one pair of tab press-ons, let it be these!" —Taylor F.

Get them from Olive & June for $9 (available in several styles).

The kit includes enough tools and yarn to crochet eight unique flower bookmarks. You'll have eight colors of yarn, a yarn needle, six stitch markers, a crochet hook, and instructions. 

Yeah, yeah, I know this post is about adults and I've got a gif of my toddler scribbling away up there *but* that's because I got this to share with my kid while on a five-hour flight over the holidays. And you better believe I was the one who was most entertained! Well, me, and all the other romantasy readers on the flight who caught what my kid was coloring on. We all got a good laugh. This coloring book is way better than it has any reason to be. The pages are thick, the illustrations are detailed and interesting, and the quotes pulled from the books make it even more fun. 

BTW, I got these colored pencils for myself (great travel pack) and these crayons for my kid. Both were great on the flight! 

Promising review: "I'm so glad I got this coloring book. The illustrations throughout are gorgeous, and I love the quotes opposite each picture. It's detailed but not to the point of being stressful to color. The pages are nice and thick, smooth to blend. The style in which it's drawn makes for a nice guide if you decide to do some shading. It's been years since I've done any visual art, but I've been relaxing and enjoying this each night. I recommend soft colored pencils as opposed to the harder, more waxy ones. I am using Faber Castel soft pencils in the attached photo. Unfortunately, I tore part of a different page by trying to blend and burnish with too firm pencils, so just keep that in mind. Slowly add your layers and enjoy the process." —Mary

Promising review: "This coloring book is a wonderful way to unwind and de-stress. The illustrations feature familiar, cozy corners that are both charming and relaxing to color. The designs are intricate enough to keep you engaged but not overly complicated, making it perfect for both adults and teens. The quality of the paper is great, holding up well to colored pencils, markers, and gel pens. I love how each page feels like a little escape, and coloring them has become a therapeutic routine." —Ali El-Khatib

Promising review: "This is a favorite game to bring with the family on trips. Everyone can play, from the 3-year-old to the 36-year-old, and it's super easy to teach new people (grandma, visiting friend, etc.). Each game can be as short as you need, so we like to bring it to restaurants or doctors' offices where waiting is inevitable. The game is very compact in the tin and good as long as it's not wet or windy (there is a waterproof version though!)

Promising review: "I've been wanting to dive into tarot for some time now. I wanted to find a deck that I could relate to. I've always related to the 'bad guys' in Disney. If you think about it, they're not really bad, just misunderstood. Anyway, when I saw this deck, I knew I had to have it. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. The sturdiness of the cards is amazing. I don't feel like I'm going to crush them as I shuffle. The guidebook is very informative, with actual examples of interpretations. I'm very pleased with my first tarot deck." —kinni

Promising review: "This has the perfect mix of humor, creativity, and randomness to keep things interesting. The activities are clever and unexpected, definitely not your typical word searches and crossword puzzles. It’s a fun way to unwind and take a break from screens. And the quality of the book is great, with a nice design and plenty of quirky prompts that make you think (or just laugh). If you’re looking for something unique to pass the time or a fun gift for someone who enjoys a little wit and absurdity, this is a great choice! There are many, many 'naughty' words, so definitely keep away from kids." —Lainey

My sister-in-law got us these kits for a recent trip we took together. She knows I'm a terrified flyer and *also* knew she'd have to sit next to me, so she pulled out all the stops to keep me calm while we were in the air. This was a very sneaky way to soothe me, I'll give her that. Not only did this leave us feeling fresh after the flight, but it was fun to apply *during* it. I've used skincare on flights before, but was impressed because this kit makes *zero* mess, so I wasn't stressing out about getting goop or a facial spray anywhere. I'm glad she got us these. And next time? I'm buying. 

It also comes with three months of Kindle Unlimited for free!

Promising review: "I am absolutely loving my new Kindle Paperwhite. In the past, I have been reading my books on my iPad and was seemingly happy with that format until I tried to read outside. The iPad screen was extremely difficult to view outside, and the battery life drained rapidly. Enter the new 2024 Kindle Paperwhite... The screen is so comfortable to view both inside, at night, and especially outside. Actually, the screen is fantastic for outside readability. Due to the Kindle's water resistance, on a recent vacation, I read for over an hour while in the resort's hot tub without worry of imposing water damage. The battery life on the Kindle seems to last forever! I've since read multiple books, and it still has more than an adequate charge remaining. I feel that the new 7" size is perfect for page viewing and holding while reading. I can now highly recommend this Kindle Paperwhite. It has made my reading so much more enjoyable." —SRW

Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (16 GB of storage; available in three colors).

Promising review: "This was really fun to make. I gave it to my mother for Mother’s Day and she loved it. I'd totally buy it again. This is beginner friendly. It's not too challenging of a design but takes a bit of time. Highly recommend." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors).

Grab a spiral bound sketchbook to go with it if you want to draw using something you can easily fit on the tiny tray table. 

Promising review: "This is an amazing idea and so fun! The prompts are amazing to unlock a creative block if you feel like drawing but don’t know *what*. It’s also a super fun screen-free activity to do with my 8-year-old — she draws the cards and we each make an illustration, all the while discussing ideas and why they work. I’m buying two more sets for gifts. This is perfect for kids and adults!" —Megan Theile

Promising review: "You don't know it yet but you need this. A friend recommended this and I decided to try it. It works well in flight. Huge improvement in comfort and sound quality over the airlines headphones. Also used for various tours when traveling. Again far more comfortable than the typical tour listening equipment." —PJ14

Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun, but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativity! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes, but this one will keep me busy for a while!" —Liz Gately

Each set comes with the holder mount and 20 pre-cut threads in 10 colors as well as access to an online instruction manual for all kinds of different designs.

Promising review: "I bought this for my daughter for a craft night. I made friendship bracelets when I was a kid, but I could not remember how to make them. This helped so much! I had to buy another one for myself so we can work on them at the same time. Love this product!" —hollyhock

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "This book is exactly what it says it is: a big activity book for anxious people! It’s got some great activities inside that totally keep me busy and keep my anxiety in check. It truly is a great time-suck to keep my mind focused on the activities and an escape from whatever is consuming me those days. I can't recommend this book enough!" —Alex R. Pepin

Promising review: "This game is so fun! My husband and I pick one card, and if the question is a little more difficult, we put it on the fridge and give each other time to answer. Has added a little more genuine conversation into our weeknights, while raising two girls." —Derrek

Promising review: "I’m really enjoying this structured approach to sharing my thoughts and experiences in life. It is easy to pick up and write a bit or more in a given session. I have many more questions to answer, but do not feel compelled to do it all in one sitting. I’m not overwhelmed by the task and look forward to doing it over time. It makes a great gift, both new and completed." —Mary Angert
