Although most of the year's hot toys are available at many of your favorite retailers, there are quite a few trendy items that you can only get on Amazon, and we're ready to get our own hands on some of these exclusives before they sell out (one popular game is already gone!).
Ahead are some of the top toys of the year that you can only get on Amazon, so get ready to Prime the holiday season away.

1 CEO's Open Letter to Working Parents Is Sparking a Debate on Whether Work-Life Balance Is Truly Possible
Charity Delmo, the founder and managing director of a company called Ideal Visa Consultancy, has a message for parents who work for her: put your family first. She explained in a now-viral Facebook post that you'll never regret putting your kids and partner over your various projects and clients.
"Dear Employees, I hired you in the hope that you can be a good provider to your family, not to take you away from them, to give you additional skills not take your parental skills away from your kids, to make you a better person not just for the company but all the more for your family," she wrote. "So when the time comes that you will have to choose between attending your sons and daughters' school activities over a client's needs, if you have to choose between your wife or your husband's needs over mine as your boss - please choose them."
"Go home. Be home. Your work can wait. I can wait."
While up and leaving in the middle of a meeting wouldn't fly at most parents' places of work, it's a helpful reminder that though proving yourself is an important part of being successful, PTO days exist for a reason.
"You see, not all employers will understand some of my principles in leadership but I would rather close this company than seeing you miss your kids' school activities because you have to be in a meeting, or seeing you getting broken because of your unfixed misunderstanding with your husband or wife," she said. "They are your home first before the company gave you a second home, they're your family before you became mine."
The big takeaway from Charity's post? Don't lose sight of your work-life balance. After all, while your job is certainly important, some projects can usually wait.
"I have always believed that a person who's happy at home is also happy at work. So, go home. Be home. Your work can wait. I can wait," she said. "Your family, the home that you built, once broken, will never be the same again. You will never be the same again. Love, Boss."
You Can't Help but Laugh at These 19 Kids Who Are Absolutely Terrified of Santa Claus
For some children, meeting Santa Claus and telling him that they've been good (and would like a bicycle, please) is the highlight of their year - for other kiddos, well, not so much. If your child isn't a fan of the man in red, it's likely your holiday cards were sent out with the one photo taken before they started screaming, or you were forced to choose another photo altogether in order to really showcase your little babe's happy smile. However, some parents - we'll call them "heroes" - admit defeat completely and choose to send out their holiday cards featuring a photo of their child with a look of sheer terror on their face while sitting on Santa's lap.
Ahead, find 19 photos of children truly terrified of Santa Claus that are - whether you feel bad or not - comedy gold.
Eva Longoria on Time's Up, Hiring Women, and Raising Her Son to Be a Feminist
Eva Longoria seems to have done it all. Not only is she a successful actress, well-known for her many TV and movie appearances, but she's also a new mom, designer, producer, and philanthropist. Eva has used her platform to draw attention to causes like Time's Up and inspire young women interested in STEM to pursue their dream careers through the Eva Longoria Foundation.
We chatted with Eva at the Teen Vogue Summit about her favorite piece of jewelry, how she gives back, and why it's important for her to empower young Latina women.
POPSUGAR: You must be so proud of what Time's Up has done. What's next for this organization, and how will you continue to pay it forward and support women?
Eva Longoria: I'm so excited about Time's Up. We're coming up on our one-year anniversary, and what this movement means is "Time's up on inequality" for women in the workforce across all industries, not just Hollywood. We've had tremendous success with restaurant workers, hotel workers, domestic workers, and of course our industry. For me personally, I am a director and a producer, so any time I have the opportunity to hire women, I do. I have a photo shoot tomorrow, and they sent me a list of five male photographers and said, "Pick your favorite." And I responded, "Well, I'd love to see a list of female photographers." They didn't even think to present that - even though female photographers exist! So I insisted on getting a female photographer. There are so many ways we can always make a difference, and you have to view work with that lens, and employ people of color and women.
"There are so many ways we can always make a difference, and you have to view work with that lens, and employ people of color and women."
PS: You've said you wanted to raise your son, Santiago, to be a feminist. What does that mean, and how can other moms do the same?
EL: Sometimes, feminism is overanalyzed and explained, and what it truly means is equality. So yes, I would love for my son, Santiago, to think that women are equal to men - that's very basic, and that's what feminism means to me. I want him to understand that women should have the same opportunities as men.
PS: Could you share a bit more about the Eva Longoria Foundation?
EL: I come from a very philanthropic family, and so I've always wanted to be involved - that's actually where I spend the majority of my time now. My foundation focuses on improving the lives of young Latina girls in my community through educational and entrepreneurial programs. We've really made such an impact over the last five years: helping over 17,000 kids get a foot up in society.
PS: Last words of advice for young women also wanting to start their own social good organizations?
EL: I would say: learn as much you can, and get in front of people you look up to. Take their advice, and go forward in your way of how you want to conquer the world!
This Aladdin-Themed Anniversary Shoot Is From a Whole New World
If you are a fan of classic Disney movies, then you know that they all end with that magical "happily ever after." But what happens after that fairy-tale ending? An Aladdin-themed anniversary shoot, of course!
Ruby and Eric tied the knot with a gorgeous Disney-themed wedding that was so fabulous that it made it on to Disney's wedding TV show. The pair decided to keep the Disney flame alive and enlisted photographer Jenna Henderson to help them capture their love with this Aladdin-themed shoot.
"They had reached out to me about taking Aladdin-themed photos, and from there we came up with creative ways to give their portrait session a magical touch," said Jenna. "We actually hauled a 'magic carpet' up hiking trails and rocks to make our session come to life, but we didn't mind for a moment because we had a vision in mind." And the photos are absolutely worth the effort because they are full of fantastic details - like Ruby's blue-and-gold necklace that alludes to Princess Jasmine's headband or the photo in which Eric is offering Ruby an apple, which is a direct reference to the iconic scene from the movie.
Check out the amazing photos from this shoot and then spot many more hidden gems!

I Tried Dating Like It Was 1999 - No Apps! - and Here's How I Met Guys IRL
Remember the '90s and early '00s before the dating apps? Personally, I was a child, but I was a child obsessed with romantic comedies where everything seemed absolutely urgent, exciting, and such hard work! I always pictured my future adulthood spent in absurd situations where my gay best friend pretended to be my fiancé à la Julia Roberts in My Best Friend's Wedding, or perhaps I'd have to go to a wedding and face my ex, like Debra Messing in The Wedding Date, or maybe I was so often a bridesmaid that the local paper would do a cover story on my tragedy, like Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses.
But as it turns out, there's a lot less urgency in today's typical dating arena - and in fact, things can start to feel a little like a video game:
- Swipe left.
- Swipe right.
- Left.
- Right.
- Right.
- Hi, how's your Tuesday going?
- Would you like to get a drink on Thursday?
- Hey, I had a nice time, but this isn't a fit for me.
- And repeat.
Robots. I think we can all agree we kinda miss the whimsy and excitement of an in-person meet cute. As it turns out, there are myriad options for dating in the 21st century that involve no swiping whatsoever. Don't believe me? Well, you're in luck, because like a hero, I spent two weeks turning away from my dating apps (yes, even my beloved Bumble) and pretending I was dating in the '90s.
Dating without the apps is higher risk, more fun, and more work!
Things have changed a bit since those days, but one thing remains constant: dating without the apps is higher risk, more fun, and more work!
But how can you possibly meet anyone without the apps? I'll take you on my journey.
Meeting Someone at a Work Conference
At the very least, it's practice dating; at most, you meet someone worth getting on a plane for.
I was on a solo business journey in the Midwest, eating alone, when I noticed a total babe who had that kinda corn-fed look that comes from being raised on football and beef. Without my apps to distract me, I sat there, enjoying my dinner, making myself just available enough to be approached (but hopefully not so available that people felt sad for the 30-something lady dining alone). That's a tough balance to strike, people, but a healthy confidence can flip the scales in your direction.
Corn-fed beef over there wasn't making a move, so I ventured to be a little bolder than usual and ask him a question about the football game on TV. Easy, because my baseline knowledge of sports is exactly zero. He bit, and we started chatting immediately. Turns out he was also attending the conference I was speaking at, and he was also single AF. Game. On.
We shared some wine and the kind of fun, intimate conversation that can happen when the likelihood of meeting again is low enough to exchange some secrets. The conference lasted a couple more days, and every time I saw him in the expo hall, we'd wink or smile, and at the evening networking events, I had a built-in buddy. On the last day, we parted ways with a fist bump right before I went on stage, and it made me feel like a freaking rock star. Wherever you are now, corn-fed beef, thanks for the memories.

Matchmakers and Dating Coaches
I'd never worked with a matchmaker before, so I sat down with founder and matchmaker at Agape Match Maria Avgitidis to get the lowdown. Being on the phone with her for 40 minutes was part interview, part personal dating coach session, and I'm forever grateful for nuggets of wisdom like, "Avoid self-deprecating jokes, the universe listens to stuff like that," and, "No need to give men more information than necessary. You can leave a date by saying, 'It's time for me to go,' and let them think you're Cinderella."
"No need to give men more information than necessary. You can leave a date by saying, 'It's time for me to go,' and let them think you're Cinderella."
Mind-blowing advice wasn't the only thing Maria shared. She explained that matchmakers and dating coaches are great because they either do the swiping and the matching on your behalf or give you lessons on how to get more efficient at it yourself. Her team at Agape doesn't consider themselves in competition with the apps, but rather power users. According to Maria, "Not being on the apps today is like not having an email address." So while you might be reading this for ideas to get off the apps entirely, consider the possibility that you could outsource the operation instead of removing it from your life.
If you can't afford a matchmaker, that's OK, too. San Francisco-based dating coach and relationship counselor Lauren Korshak MA, MFT, says many matchmaking companies will allow you to join their databases for free. A handful she suggests checking out are OkSasha, Find Love at Last, Skilled Attraction, and others.
A Wingman
If outsourcing to strangers isn't your thing, consider letting someone you know and trust take over your dating apps. I saw a guy on Bumble recently whose description said, "This is sometimes Brad, but it's mostly his sister-in-law." Such a great disclaimer, because if Brad's sister-in-law accidentally swipes right on Brad's coworker, his friend's ex, or someone he ghosted, it's clearly an innocent mistake.
Like most things, there's an app for this, very appropriately named Wingman. Available on iOS and Android, the platform allows you to designate up to four wingmen who can suggest introductions, and if it's a match, you take over the conversation privately from there. I spoke with the company's CEO and founder, Tina Wilson, who explained, "Many people have fatigue around dating apps, so tap into your friends and family, who are great resources to help you meet the right person." I wish I'd known about this app when I let my mom give my dating life a whirl.

Speed Dating
You gotta try it. Not necessarily because it's where all the soulmates are hiding, but it's equal parts effective and absurd. In other words, it's great for going on a handful of mini dates in one night so you get a crash course in the art of dating small talk. Just make sure you're well rested, fed, and hydrated, because it's a very long night.
I spoke with Australia-based Brett Couston, who cofounded modernized speed-dating company CitySwoon with his wife, Louise O'Connor. The pair created the company to bring speed dating into the 21st century and were kind enough to let me attend a few events. They work like this:
- Sign up for a CitySwoon event, and receive the time and location over email.
- Arrive at a seemingly normal bar with normal attendees on what feels like a normal night.
- Check in via your phone upon arrival, and wait for the event to begin.
- You'll know it's begun when your phone pings you with the first name and a single headshot of your first match, who is also in said bar, and it's your job to find one another.
- Once you make contact, sit and enjoy each other's company for 10 or so minutes until your phone pings you both for your next match to begin.
- Repeat for 90 minutes.
The biggest con of speed dating is the events usually start a bit late. There's no minute longer than a waiting-for-your-date-to-start minute. Not a microwave minute, not a treadmill minute, nothing. So 15 of those is torture, but I'm here to tell you this is equal parts thrilling and exhausting, and we should all try it at least once. If you think you're bad at dating, this is the crash course you need to work out those conversation starters and become a pro. If you think you're good at dating, this is a new challenge that will shake it up and keep it interesting. Plus, afterward, I treat myself to ice cream.
Karaoke
Here's why it works. There are exactly two kinds of people who like karaoke: attention seekers and attention givers. If you're a seeker (me) and you're not on stage, you're bored as hell. You're only there to get the mic and let the world watch you shine, so anyone who gives you attention when it's not your turn is going to really stand out.
That's right - a date from meeting in real life. It. Can. Happen!
I was recently at my favorite karaoke dive with my fellow attention-seeker friend Chelsea, and we were bringing the house down with Salt-N-Pepa's "Shoop." I remembered the name of the cute guy who'd sung before us, and at each chorus, I started razzing him to sing along, shouting his name and insisting he knew the words. He loved it, his friend group loved it, and guess what? After the song, he bought me a beer and got my number, and last weekend, we went to the movies. That's right - a date from meeting in real life. It. Can. Happen!
A Healthy Backslide
Don't diminish that metaphorical little black book of your past beaus gone wrong. OK, you've said it's never gonna work, but really ask yourself why. You might have noticed there's always a little something that keeps you coming back - but maybe there's a little something that keeps you from taking this seriously. Examine that thing instead. If it's not a dealbreaker, consider restructuring your mindset to give it a real shot.
If you've overlooked a quality person because you were going through a "me" phase, the worst that can happen from you pinging this past romance is they will feel flattered but decline. The best that could happen is you kick back into gear with someone you're now emotionally ready for.
Now, as you imagine a world without the instant gratification of a match, consider picking your head up and looking around for a moment to take a risk and pretend you're in a '90s rom-com. Surprisingly, you might end up having more fun doing more work. Good luck out there!

Wedding in Aisle 5! See Pictures From This Couple's Epic Costco Nuptials
Finding a wedding venue can often be a somewhat daunting task for soon-to-be married couples. But when it came time for newlyweds Margot Schein and Julian Parris to pick out where they wanted to exchange vows, it was a no-brainer that they'd hold their wedding ceremony in the place where they first connected: Costco. Yes, that would be the same membership-only retailer where you can conveniently purchase anything from a three-pound cookie to an eight-foot Christmas tree.
According to NBC7, Margot and Julian met online three years ago and immediately hit it off, thanks to their mutual love of Costco. They went on their first date at the store's Mission Valley location in San Diego and tied the knot there in November in front of their friends, their family, and a group of Costco employees. The wedding itself - which was, of course, complete with a Costco wedding cake - drew a bit of inspiration from the newlyweds' love of Harry Potter. As an ode to Gryffindor, Margot wore a deep red gown with a bouquet that she made from the pages of the books, while Julian suited up in a blue tuxedo that he accessorized with a bronze tie for Ravenclaw. See more stunning photos from Margot and Julian's big day ahead!

This Office-Themed Wedding Deserves ALL of Michael Scott's Dundies
Do you still watch The Office nightly? Are you often tempted to instinctively blurt out, "That's what she said!" when the opportunity presents itself? Do you secretly wish you could apply for a job at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then boy oh boy, do we have a treat for you. Jessica Palacios of Rae Leigh Photography took pictures of a collaborative styled photo shoot inspired by Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly from The Office, and she shared all the gorgeous, nostalgia-packed footage with POPSUGAR.
The color scheme of the shoot mimicked the "basic colors of an office" - whites, creams, grays, and browns - which were amped up with "boho floral arrangements, marble and concrete accents, wood elements, and a pop of autumnal orange here and there," the planner of the shoot wrote. As for the bride and groom, the bride wore a simple white gown, just like Pam did while saying "I do" to Jim before visiting Niagara Falls. Meanwhile, the groom wore a gray suit and even posed with a bicycle during the shoot as an ode to how Jim rode his bike through Scranton to get to work every day (*swoons*).
Rather than tables, the cork-board seating chart assigned different characters to one of three cubicles, staying true to the theme of the hit NBC show. Of course, the dinner menu was provided by Schrute Farms, and the cake was finished with a topper that read "It is your wedding," as a nod to Dwight's deadpan birthday decorations. Ha! Keep reading to see the hysterical memo-style invitations and all the other spot-on details of the Dundie-worthy shoot.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, With Hair So Fine, This Tangled-Themed Wedding Is Absolutely Divine
If you have a child - or are just a child at heart - then you have probably seen the beloved Disney movie Tangled at least 10 times. The animated film, which is based on the Rapunzel fairy tale, has become a huge phenomenon in popular culture and inspired an art exhibition, birthday parties, and even a performance on Dancing With the Stars. Now, photographer Jennifer Roach has drawn from the movie as the inspiration behind her latest wedding shoot.
Jennifer explained why she chose to do a Tangled-styled wedding shoot, saying, "As far back as I can remember, I've been obsessed with Disney and the romantic fairy tales of the princesses. I decided to create a wedding that was inspired by Tangled with a bride model with a long blonde braid and flowers in her hair and a groom with a sack with a crown in it. All of the pieces came together beautifully to create a wedding that Rapunzel and Flynn Rider would have loved."
This gorgeous shoot took place in the Frazer Center in Atlanta. The bride wore an elegant white gown and her hair was done in a classic fishtail braid, just like Rapunzel in the movie. The groom looked sharp in a white button-down shirt with a blue vest and brown pants, which is an elevated version of Flynn Rider's look in the movie. The end result is a lovely wedding for our two favorite Tangled characters. Keep reading to see the marvelous photos from this shoot.

You'll Be Starry-Eyed Over This 1920s-Inspired Wedding - Complete With Showstopping Gown!
When Broadway actors Alysha and Cody decided to get married, they wanted their wedding to be out of this world - literally! That's right, this gorgeous couple decided to have a neon celestial-themed wedding that included a range of elements from the heavens. Alysha even wore a stunning gray gown with glittery embellishments that resembled the starry night sky. Here's what photographer David Perlman had to say about the inspiration behind the theme:
"Alysha and Cody's celestial wedding, full of moons and stars, was inspired by Alysha's dream dress by Hayley Paige. She knew she wanted a dove gray wedding dress, and she fell in love with her dress when she found it in a Google image search. After trying it on, she knew it was the one, and since it looked like a galaxy, she figured that was the theme for the wedding! She had always been obsessed with paper moons from the 1920s, so it was perfect."
Alysha even had a silver glitter eye and wore intricate star-shaped earrings to tie her galaxy-inspired look together. The decor included many neon signs, which added to the ambiance, and the pair had a large photo area that featured a giant crescent moon. They were married at the Green Building in Brooklyn, NY, and looked absolutely radiant.

This Christmas Brain-Teaser Is Deceptively Tricky - Can You Solve It?
I love a good brain-teaser, especially ones that challenge me to locate objects hidden in a cluttered picture à la those I Spy books I used to hoard and relentlessly scour back in the day. The latest search-and-find game to circulate the internet puts a fun holiday spin on the concept, challenging viewers to spot five turkeys in a chaotic Christmas scene. Designed by the folks over at Stay in Cornwall, the brain-teaser may sound like a piece of (fruit)cake, but it actually takes most people between three and four minutes to successfully complete.
Despite the solid I Spy track record I maintained during my childhood, these sneaky birds had me stumped, as I could personally only find four before caving and looking at the solution. Can't find that fifth hidden turkey in the midst of the festive scene? Check out the solution ahead to see 'em circled in pink, and then take a stab at this emoji brain-teaser if you're really in the mood to test your brainpower.
Roses Are Red, Marriage Is Golden, but a Rose Gold-Themed Wedding Will Have Your Heart Stolen
Why stop at a rose gold ring when you can have a rose gold wedding? In this gorgeous wedding shoot, the color is not just an embellishment, but the core theme of the entire styled shoot. These stunning photos were the product of photographer Chloe Dam's creativity, who said, "This styled wedding was inspired by the 'it' color rose gold. In today's culture, rose gold is on everything from cell phones to watches. We wanted to make sure rose gold had its own lane in the wedding industry as well!"
This shoot took place at Station House in St Petersburg, FL, on a beautiful day where the natural lighting perfectly accentuated the rose and metallic tones of the decor. Some of the highlights from the shoot were the classic three-tired cake with a twist of modern geometric shapes, an elegantly crafted bouquet that featured an array of roses and peonies, the bride's lovely lace mermaid dress, and the splendid sequined table set-up. "The tablescape was so romantic and fresh," said Chloe. "I adored the special touches, like the pink macarons and the rose gold dinnerware. All of the colors paired perfectly together to create a glamorous fine dining experience." Make sure to check out the photos for more rose gold details!
