Fun & Games

Nintendo Switch

Do you remember the dark times? When consoles only packed one controller into every box and slowly edged out split-screen, forcing buds to game in *gulp* separate homes? 😰

Fear not, companion. Never before has it been so easy to game with a bud. One controller is for punks, so the Switch demands co-op play by packing two into its diminutive packaging. Nintendo, we're not worthy! πŸ™

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Take your bud on a trip back to Rainbow Road 🌈with new racers, new karts, and the same clutch shell 🐒plays that catapulted you to 1st place in your Special Cup circuit.

Nanoleaf Light Panels

Is your friend constantly languishing about how most lights only contain one color? Are they apoplectic at the roundness of bulbs, with their smug lack of corners and angles? Soothe their furrowed brow by transforming their home into the neo-trance rave of their dreams with these crazy customizable, go-anywhere, light-up-any-color, music-reactive panels from Nanoleaf. πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ€πŸ’‘πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ€

Super Mario Party

Splash down raging rapids, bounce around in a bubble and catch a barrel of Cheep Cheeps in a collection of over 80 magical mini-games in the Mushroom Kingdom 🏰.

Dirt Fish Rally School

Deep down, it's an irrefutable fact that everybody secretly wants to be a getaway driver. That's just hard science. πŸ”¬

Treat your pal to the next best thing by signing them up for one of the world's best rally schools. They'll learn how to toss a car into a Scandinavian flick, execute a clutch-kick, and anything else it takes to outrun Boss Hogg and Roscoe. Them buds are at it again!

Pyro Mini-Fireshooter

Shoot balls of fire from your empty hands for under $150. Let us say that again. Shoot balls of FIRE from your freakin' HANDS for under $150!!! IS THIS NOT THE FUTURE YOU AND YOUR BUD ALWAYS DREAMED OF? πŸ”₯

Lovepop Drogon and Daenerys Card

We all aspire for kinship as strong as Drogon and Daenerys. Forge a stronger bond with your bud by inviting them to your Game of Thrones Season 8 premiere party with a card royal enough to take the iron throne. 🐲

Spyra One Dual Set

Many forget, the 90s were more than just the rise of grunge and Monica's bangs, it was also a time of war. Come summer, the threat of being supersoaked was a day-to-day struggle in Everytown, America. For some, those were dark, soggy times. For others, they were the greatest years of our lives. Bring back the fun with the non-pumping, crazy-accurate Spyra One! πŸ’¦ πŸ”«

Denali Saddle Blanket Guitar Strap

Let's be real, most straps you pick up at the local 🎸 shop are cookie-cutter sadness sheets of canvas and hide. These bespoke saddle-blanket axe holders from Denali Straps look cowboy-cool and are as supportive as a music studio sofa. Don't let your friend settle for anything less than distinguished comfort while shredding.
