A fruit-shaped throw pillow adding some tropical vibes to your home, because square-pillows are just so...square. Close the blinds and cuddle up with your papaya.
Moodmatcher's color-changing lipstick that starts Elphaba green and then reacts to the pH of your skin to create a Glinda-approved pink. The truly magical formula defies grav— I mean, time by staying on all day, even after eating and drinking.
And an Ulta Beauty Magic Marker lip stain to make your makeup routine feel a little more like arts and crafts. Reviewers say this is more than a novelty product: It offers bold, nonsticky color that lasts all day.
A beautiful stained glass butterfly stake so your plant can have a permanent guest. It hooks onto the side of a planter to create the illusion of a monarch just dropping by for a quick rest.
A set of adhesive stair decals that'll make your home feel like Rainbow Road, just with way less falling off the side into the abyss (hopefully?). When you get sick of them, just peel 'em off!
A rose-shaped straw cover compatible with 6-10 millimeter straws to avoid any gross situations. The soft silicone stem loops around your straw, and the rose fits right on top. VERY Disney princess if you ask me.
A NeeDoh Gummy Bear offering the perfect amount of squish and stretch for restless hands. The jelly-like filling is encased in a thick, nonsticky plastic so it has just the right amount of give. A sensory heaven!
Or a blind box with five whole surprise cube cats inside. Will you score the transparent Melon color or the elusive Fortune Cat? Only one way to find out...

A Britannia metal hairclip offering some Western charm to any outfit. The creators of this barrette were not horsing around: Reviewers say the craftsmanship is top-tier.
Soot sprite dryer balls that'll look sooo cute bouncing around in your dryer. Besides being adorable, they reduce drying time, prevent wrinkles, and soften clothes, all without coating your stuff in a waxy residue like dryer sheets do.
A wind-up toy shaped like a cat riding a robot vacuum. We've all seen the videos — it's time to recreate it at home.
A tiny violin keychain you can ironically play the next time someone vents a little too long. Press the button on the back to unleash "a symphony of sarcasm" — hopefully the melodramatic music will lighten the mood.
Or a fidget toy keychain featuring a little critter having the time of their life in an inner tube. Press the button to de-stress and make their water park dreams come true.
A sad duck night-light ready to cheer you up — because at least you've never felt so down you've melted into the table.
A plush fruit slice probably more comfortable and DEFINITELY cuter than the normal cone of shame your cat has to wear. The adjustable collar gives your cat a nice cushion to rest with while they recover from surgery.
A giant bread pillow you can cuddle up with and get nice and toasty. You may want to also get a real baguette because this thing is making me hungry!
A "Gracula" garlic crusher that ironically helps you with one of the most tedious chores in the kitchen. Just throw in the peeled cloves, twist, and feel grateful you Let the Right One In...to your kitchen.
A long-lasting temporary tattoo kit for when you're bored of your current ink situation and wanna mix it up — for a little bit, at least.
A fashionable lil' capybara who comes with a variety of sweaters and accessories so they can make outfit swaps throughout the day. If you miss the soaring joy of dressing up a Build-A-Bear, this might do the trick.
A Godzilla microwave cleaner that shoots out cleansing steam instead of lasers. Not as cool, but definitely more helpful. Just fill the silicone tool up with water and vinegar, microwave it, and then marvel at how you found a cleaning supply that's actually fun.
A giant pack of sprout hair clips featuring springy mushrooms, clovers, and flowers. Tell me a flowy dress, and a couple of these wouldn't go hard at brunch.
A pack of plastic balls to make all your nostalgic ball pit dreams come true. This pack comes with enough for a pet or small child to have fun but...you could also buy more...and adults could join...just an idea...
A sticker book filled with grouchy-looking cats. I would ask why they're so upset, but we all know cats never need a reason. You can have fun placing these directly in the sightline of anyone bugging you that day. >:(
A paw-shaped chair cushion, because who doesn't want to be lovingly cradled in a kitten's paw?
A plug-in mushroom light that offers a warm, color-changing glow so your home feels like a magical forest. Time to invite over the nice badger couple next door and drink dandelion tea!
A shark onesie for anyone who wishes every week was shark week. The wide fin sleeves and toothy hood make this the ultimate cozy hang 'fit.
Mr. Bubble Magic Bath Crackles that are arguably a lot more fun than regular bath salts or bombs. They work like Pop Rocks and start crackling as soon as they hit the water. Kids love them for bathtime experiments, but adults might get a kick out of the tingling sensation.
