It’s easy to shop for kids; just put them in front of a video game or iPad and let them run wild. It’s a bit harder to shop for adults — especially adults who are snowed in for the winter months. Instead of gifting another bottle of wine (although we don’t judge), why not get creative and get your friends something that’ll bring everyone together. For a limited time, these 15 unique card games and puzzles are all on sale for the holiday season, and gifting one to your friend group will quickly make you the life of the party.
