When you spend a lot of time with friends and family, there is nothing like getting together and lying to each other’s faces. That is the rough premise of The Chameleon, an award-winning party game where one player (the Chameleon) is the odd one out, trying to blend in. All players except the Chameleon get a cipher card that reveals to them the secret topic for the round. Then all players simultaneously write down a clue that is associated with the secret word without being too obvious. Players then vote on who they think is the Chameleon, but if the Chameleon is caught, they can still salvage the round by correctly guessing the secret word. Simple, right? This is a great gift for any fans of social deduction.

Essential Oil Diffusers originally gained popularity for their appealing olfactory effect but they have recently taken on a whole new purpose in the world of aromatherapy. The concept of aromatherapy is that various scents can stimulate different parts of the brain to control emotions and control the nervous system. You could pair this gift with a small vial of thyme oil to reduce fatigue or perhaps some eucalyptus oil to relieve the airways during the flu. Even if the therapeutic effects aren’t as pronounced as one might expect, it is still a nice feeling to breathe in some refreshing smells.

Popcorn is a downright delectable snack but any health-conscious snacker needs to ditch that store-bought instant pop stuff as soon as possible. The Popco Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper is by far the superior route to kernel popping, as it allows you to make your own choice of toppings and oils without taking much more time than tossing a Jiffy Pop bag in the microwave. The real game-changer, though, is popping your corn with real butter instead of that fake mouth-coating stuff.
