With 2022 at an end, we’ve rounded up the most popular posts of December to finish off the year. You’ll find some perennial favorites as well as a new contender for one of the top spots in this month of holiday shopping, feasting, and hosting family and friends.

Hemnes convertible trundle daybed from IKEA

Hemnes Daybed: This daybed has made the monthly list for all twelve months of 2022, including ten months as the top hit. And it’s easy to see why. The daybed converts easily into a king-sized bed frame by pulling out the trundle. Even better, you can stack both twin mattresses in daybed form, so it works for either seating or sleeping. To top it all off, three built-in storage drawers give you plenty of room for bedding, toys, and more. That makes this versatile piece of furniture great for small spaces or just about any room in the house.

CLue Junior board laid out ready to play

Clue Junior: Readers love this classic game reimagined for the whole family. All ages can enjoy the race to find out which brightly colored character ate the cake, at what time, and with which drink. Players take turns moving any of the pawns to collect clues. A pictorial clue sheet helps narrow down the options. Best of all, this game requires zero literacy skills, so the whole family can enjoy playing together over and over again.

Mobius Sphere puzzle ball fidget toy on shelf at Target

Mobius Sphere: This simple puzzle also appeals to kids (and adults!) who love to fidget. Multiple brightly colored balls move around inside the main sphere. Mix them up and let kids loose to sort them back into their color-coordinated spots. This quiet game works great while waiting for food at a restaurant or anytime you need quick and easy entertainment with no batteries required. It fits easily into bags and backpacks and can be played over and over again.
