1. A pair of Thinx underwear for anyone searching for an alternative to tampons and pads. One pair can hold up to four tampons’ worth (depending on the style) but they look and feel like a normal, comfy pair of undies.

2. Hunt A Killer — an immersive murder mystery game told over the course of six “episodes” or boxes. Each box is filled with different clues and physical items (such as autopsy reports and witness statements), which will help you catch the culprit. Happy sleuthing!

3. A vertical chess game so you don't have to sit down for a match. You and the roomie can take turns in passing, whenever you have time. Plus, it doubles as a cool piece of wall art.
