Other Diversions - The Everything-Else Drawer

Some things don't fit neatly into "games" or "puzzles" or "desk stuff." They're too creative for one category, too weird for another, and too fun to leave out entirely.

Not quite a game, not quite a puzzle — just really good ways to spend your time. This is where those things live.

Coloring Books and Magic Velvet Sets

The coloring side of this collection splits into two formats.

The coloring books feature our original character sets - Judgy Fish, Salty Birds, and a cocktail-themed book for the creatively inclined drinker. These are full-sized coloring books designed for adults, filled with detailed illustrations and the same snarky commentary you'd find on our puzzles and sticker books.

The magic velvet coloring sets are a different experience entirely. Each set comes with pre-printed velvet art boards and colored pencils. The velvet texture gives the finished pieces a rich, textured look that regular coloring books can't match. Themes include Moody Cats and a zodiac set. These work well as standalone creative activities or as gifts for people who like coloring but want something more interesting than a standard book.

Stamp Sets, Cross Stitch Kits, and Origami

The craft side of the collection covers three formats, each self-contained with everything you need.

• Stamp sets - modular alphabet stamp kits with interchangeable letters, plus a "seal of approval" set featuring stamps you can use to officially endorse (or not endorse) things in your life. Each set comes with ink pads.
• Cross stitch kits - beginner-friendly kits that include an embroidery hoop, needle, Aida cloth, and all the thread (they call it "floss"). The designs lean toward honest observations rather than the usual inspirational quotes.
• Origami kit - a step-by-step shrimp origami set with detailed instructions and quality paper. Works for all skill levels despite the name suggesting otherwise.

Guide Books, Advent Calendars, and Other One-of-a-Kind Items

A few products in this collection don't belong to any craft category. They're just things we wanted to make.

The guide books are hardbound, illustrated reference books with a sense of humor. One covers useless facts that turn out to be useful. Another is an illustrated guide to birds whose names sound like insults - 75 birds, each with illustrations and facts that double as conversation starters (or actual insults, depending on your audience).

The advent calendar features 12 googly-eyed wooden ornaments - one for each day of a countdown - designed to add seasonal snark to your holiday tree.

Then there's the swear bank (a glass-front coin bank for funding your vocabulary), a set of iron-on merit badges for life skills nobody teaches in scouts, a camping survival kit, pet shame/praise card decks, and a giant dice eraser set for your desk.

Some of these cross over from other collections. The pet decks also live in Pets. The stamp sets and eraser set overlap with Desk. The guide books sit in both Desk and here.
