That’s it – it really is that simple! It’s fun to play for a game night at home but even better at a party in a room filled with rowdy people ready to yell.
This pastel Love Bug planter is a simple way to add retro flair and a splash of color to your room.

If someone asked the question, “Would you trust SpongeBob and Patrick with magical wish-granting Bubble Soap?” then, The Cosmic Shake is the answer.
This new video game adventure is just as chaotic as it sounds! After SpongeBob and Patrick bubble up way too many wishes, the entire fabric of the universe starts to unravel, opening up WishWorlds everywhere! Join SpongeBob on his journey to rescue his friends from seven mixed-up worlds, like Wild West Jellyfish Fields and Halloween Rock Bottom, and restore Bikini Bottom to normal. There’s nothing he can’t do while wearing the right cosmic costume.
This is the ultimate game for SpongeBob fans, featuring iconic Bikini Bottom characters, locations, and over 100 songs from the series, and is an exciting romp through iconic mashed-up moments.
The game hits Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, & PC on January 31!
A new challenge has entered the chat in the form of Rubik’s Phantom!
If you’ve already mastered the original Rubik’s Cube, the Phantom is an amazing way to step up your skills and take on a new challenge. Starting out all black, you’ll have to touch and reveal the colors on the Cube to solve it. As you feel and twist each section, the heat from your fingers will reveal the color underneath – but be quick. The goal is to solve the Cube before the colors fade back to black!
Illuminate your room with rainbow magic!
Shaped like a light bulb, this battery-operated light will bring major aesthetic to your space. When it’s off, the rainbow-shaped filament adds cute color to your decor, but when it’s on, it shines vibrant colors all over the room, adding dramatically dreamy mood with the flip of a switch.
We think it’s a perfect side-table staple or as a nightlight for those up-all-night sleepover convos with your besties!
Already behind on planning the new year? Us too – but it’s not too late to catch up!
