Welcome to Wishlist After Dark, folks! I've got Penny Pickwell, who reads every review so you don't have to, and Sunny, who loves gifts more than anyone alive. Up first, The Art of Memory Collecting from Hardie Grant, a craft book for turning memories into scrapbooks and collages. It's the perfect gift for your crafty, scrapbook-loving friend! Hi, everyone. I've read the fine print, so hold on. Hi!

Marty, I already love it. How many projects are in there? Fifteen scrapbook and collage projects, Sunny! Just look at that number. And every activity gets a step-by-step breakdown, so even a total beginner can follow along. Step by step, love it! Penny, do buyers agree? They do. One buyer called the breakdown of each activity very easy to understand and insightful. Their words, not mine. Ooh, picture it peeking out of a stocking!

It's a great stocking stuffer for crafters. But wait, there's more! It was a BuzzFeed readers' favorite gift of 2026! A readers' favorite? I knew it! Okay, Penny, what's the catch? Here it is, Sunny. It's a book of ideas, so the craft supplies aren't included. In the box, you get one book. So I'd tuck in a glue stick and some stickers, and the fun starts the second they open it! Smart. And if your friend isn't crafty, skip it.

This one's for the scrapbook crowd. Verdict time! I'm at eight point two, because fifteen projects is a lot of memories. I'm at seven point eight. Those step-by-step breakdowns make it so friendly! I'm the strict one at seven point two, since you'll need supplies. That makes the After Dark Score seven point seven out of ten, number two of three on our other gadgets board. Buy it for the crafter. The link's on our site and in the description.

See you next time, folks!
