It’s formatted in a way that boosts happiness, self-reflection, daily affirmations, and remembering the good things that happened throughout the day. There’s always something positive hidden in each day, even during quarantine, and this is a good way of taking stock of that.

A classic deck of cards can provide entertainment in both solo and group settings for hours on end.

Many of us haven’t seen a proper garden in days! We’re all itching to get back and properly connected with nature, even if it’s for a little bit. Get yourself a Plant Terrarium Kit, and bring nature indoors! Not only will the assembling of the terrarium itself be extremely calming and fun, but the finished product that will provide beautiful decor for any room it’s in will be just as satisfying as well.
5. Rogue Hawaiian Soprano Ukulele
You’ve finally got time to pick up a new skill!

7. Oleum Vera Do It Yourself Organic Mask Kit
It’s true that face masks are a fan favorite, but in times of quarantine, it’s time to take them to the extreme. Making your own face mask can be overwhelming, and you might not know where to start. Kits like these make the process really simple, providing you with all the right ingredients while still giving you the freedom to experiment and make up a concoction that’s personal to your needs!
8. 3000 Questions About Me
This was actually gifted to me and has proven to be a surprisingly amazing conversation starter. If you’re isolating with other people, or can ring up a friend or family member, whip out this book and get chatting. You’ll be amazed at the topics that come up, or the interesting new stories you can find out about someone you love, or even yourself.
9. DAVIDsTEA Sweet Indulgence 12 Tea Sampler

10. Smartphone Projector 2.0

During quarantine, you can really take time to set up a little viewing nook, and go through all those titles you’ve been meaning to screen!
11. Lomography Simple Use Color 35mm Camera
The coolest part of disposable cameras, in my opinion, is that you don’t get to instantaneously view your photos. Create a future scrapbook of your time in self-isolation by snapping random images of your time indoors. Make sure to capture all the details of this historic moment, but be selective when you take those shots! By the time you send it off to be developed, and when it eventually comes back, you’ll have forgotten what you took, and will have a nice surprise in store.
12. Babycakes Mini Cupcake Maker
Obviously, you’ll get peckish during the quarantine, so this Babycakes Mini Cupcake Maker is perfect for all your sweet tooth needs. Have fun making different flavored cupcakes! You can even strive to perfect your frosting method, or surprise those who are isolating along with you! It’s the sweetest solution to an unfortunate situation.
13. The Chameleon
Big Potato Games makes some of the coolest card/board games on the market right now! This game can be played with as little as 3 people, and the suspense of having to fool those around you in order to win will add an extra layer of excitement and anticipation that isn’t always found in more traditional board games. Get yourself The Chameleon and you’ll be clutching your sides in laughter for hours!
14. Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book
With some of the spare time you’ll be having, coloring in a good old fashioned coloring book is a great way to relax and unwind. Sometimes the news might be too stressful or you feel far too cooped up, but this provides a healthy creative outlet that will both concentrate and clear your mind!
15. New York Times Front Page Puzzle
Last but certainly not least, try completing a puzzle! The New York Times makes these really awesome puzzles that are personalized by the date in which you (or someone you are gifting this to) were born in! You’ll have hours worth of work and fun in completing this, while also learning about what exactly was going on in the world the day you were brought into it!
