Step aside, Stanley and Owala; this cutesy little penguin bottle will be your new emotional support bestie/water bottle.
1. A Golden Girls -themed planter because as Dorothy states, "It's not easy being a mother," and I think we all can relate because it's not easy being a PLANT mother either. Thankfully, you can keep the faux succulent in this if you don't want to put a real plant in here.
Amazon
Promising review:"I Iove The Golden Girls, and when I saw this little planter, I knew I had to get it! She sits in my kitchen judging my cooking, lol." — Christina
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (Get it in Blanche, Dorothy, or Sophia).
2. A mini wacky waving inflatable tube guy if you need some motivation to get you through the work day post 30-min lunch. He might not be able to help you answer all those emails that "find you well," but at least he's fun to look at!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery, my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man, I knew I had a friend for life. Someone you can really count on to cheer you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." — Robert Wurstner
Get it from Amazon for $11.66.
3. A pack of vibrant fire colorants, since a regular fire just isn't cutting it anymore. But a rainbow fire that's worthy of a "That was legitness!"? Now, that's more like it.
FYI, if you're making s'mores (or any food), don't throw these on until *after* you're done cooking with the fire. To get the show started, just add 1–3 of these packets to your fire, and you'll get up to a full hour of colorful flames before the vibrancy fades. You can add additional packets as needed!
Promising review:"If you love a campfire or a backyard blaze or know someone who does, these are just great fun. Takes fire-watching to a whole new hippy-trippy beautiful level. The colors are beautiful, and they make the camping experience extra special. Great little gift for the person who has everything. I gave them to a twentysomething and to a kid with 'mom or dad has to help you with this' and kept some for myself. I love these things." — MSM
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $6.94.
4. A darling little witch spoon rest to snap onto your pots and pans so your cooking utensils can be close to whatever witch's brew (aka Kraft Mac 'N' Cheese) you're cooking up for dinner.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This little witch is not only cute and adorable, she stops pots from boiling over, keeps the lid tipped a bit and hold onto the spoon. Nice little addition to the kitchen gadgets!" — LBell
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
5. A"Gracula" garlic crusher, which does a FANGtastic job at doing the annoying, tedious job of crushing up garlic cloves. All you have to do is insert the cloves, twist, and you're done. Whoever created this little gadget is a bloody genius!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I've minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It's a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it's not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" — Barbie
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
6. A dimmable sad duck night-light that looks derpy in the cutest way possible. Plus, it's touch-activated and has an optional 30-minute timer. I'm literally quacking — I mean quaking — because this is so adorable.
Amazon
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. This has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options, and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." — Literated
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
7. Or a color-changing mushroom night-light for those of you who want a colorful and cute solution to your fear of the dark, but also want to feel like your room is a little garden fairy forest.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute, and the little, itty-bitty lighting element does a good job of lighting. It's just enough, so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." — 1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
8. A huggable banana duck plush toy you'll never want to ~split~ apart from because 1) it's super cute, 2) it's super soft, and 3) it's a banana duck... how can it get any better than this?
Amazon
Promising review:"Once you get this duck, your life will be changed. It is soft and plush and perfect for snuggling! Banana duck is life." — Sarah Kenton
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors).
9. A screaming goat figurine because life is making you want to just scream at the top of your lungs, but doing that in your cubicle is not socially acceptable. 🙄 But this lil' guy doing it for you? Completely fine in my book!
www.amazon.com
It even comes with a book full of fun facts and trivia about goats!
Promising review:"This is a hilarious way to scream at the universe without hurting your throat. I often gift this to people who are struggling. It generates a smile and lets them know it's OK to feel like screaming." — meggysmallz
Get it from Amazon for $7.96.
10. A book of 642 tiny things to draw, a must-have if you find yourself saying the words, "Ugh, I'm bored" at work or school. This will give you so many random little things to doodle when you need a well-deserved brain break.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jonathan Mazzei says:"My girlfriend got me this book as a gift a few years ago, and it turned out to be even better than I expected! The prompts are super fun and help you to think outside of the box, even during those moments when you feel like you have no ideas. It's great to casually doodle in while passing time since you don't have to think of what to draw, but it also can be really helpful when brainstorming for creative projects. My girlfriend is a visual artist and graphic designer, and she loves using it to play around with ideas and make her think of things she never would have thought of without it. Plus, it's small and super portable! Highly recommend!"
Get it from Amazon for $9.25.
11. A silly lil' burger lamp since your overhead light can get you a little krabby (patty), and you want something a little easier on the eyes. This adjustable lamp is super cute and will spice up your usually boring desk decor.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was looking for something to help me see my keys better since I do need to occasionally look when I type. This burger light is perfect! love that it extends to angle toward my keys and looks like a goofy burger. When not in use, it is a perfect desk decoration. I didn't want a boring lamp to exist and muddy the look of my setup, which is a work in progress atm." — Alex Yvette
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three colors).
12. A pack of 12 french fry-shaped bag clips because you get really ~salty~ when someone forgets to seal the family-size bag of chips that you just bought. These come with a magnetic fry carton for storing and look great as unique kitchen decor.

16. A plush bread alarm clock, a cute way to wake you up in the morning and let you know that it's time to get up and get this breaaaadd!
Amazon
It also has a "vibrating" wake-up option if the noise won't do the trick!
Promising review: "You may not know that you were missing a plush bread-shaped alarm clock in your life, but once you have it, you'll ask how you ever lived without it. This is, at its very basic level, a stuffed animal (loaf of bread) with a vibrating alarm clock built inside. While the instructions are a little confusing, and the execution isn't perfect, it does what it is supposed to do. The audible alarm is pleasant. The vibrating alarm is strong. The stuffed bread is, well, super cute. You'll enjoy." — AIC
Get it from Amazon for $29.98.
17. A super-small game because the best things come in small packages, and by the best things, I mean making your bestie draw +4 in mini Uno.
Worlds Smallest Store has a bunch of other classic games that are also adorably mini!
Promising review:"When I say I keep that thang on me, I mean this mini deck of Uno cards. It's been in my purse since it arrived and has been a lifesaver for passing the time at bars, restaurants, etc. It's also a great conversation starter and although it's comically small, it's still easy to use with the added benefit of not taking up a lot of space." — Jamie
Get it from Amazon for $8.95.
18. A whimsical bird-shaped acetate hair clip — duck lips are so 2016, but duck CLIPS? A must-have for 2025. These are so unique and way cooler than those regular degular claw clips.

Itty-bitty, collapsible storage crates in soothing pastel colors to give your knickknacks the vinyl record treatment. Listen, you don't have to throw away your mountain of pilfered condiment packets, but they'd look a lot nicer in one of these. A battery-operated patio umbrella light so your family can actually see each other while dining outside. The battery-powered device has 28 LEDs to properly illuminate a whole picnic table after the sun sets. A chenille tufted pillow perfect for when you're trying to enjoy some pillow fort time or just wanna sit on the floor while working from the coffee table (me). It'll come in handy when you have more guests than chairs for movie night. A set of low-maintenance, solar-powered lights you can stake along pathways to illuminate your walk to the house. Since they're powered by the sun, you can set them up and let them do their thing for the foreseeable future. Promising review: "These are great lights, we use them in our front and backyard. They are long-lasting and create a resort-like appearance." —Michele Get it from Amazon for $32.93+ (available in packs of four or eight). A pack of disposable shower hair catchers for people who often forget to clean the drain after a shower and too squeamish to maintain a device like the TubShroom. You can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested. A grater with a built-in container so you don't have to worry about having to balance it over a plate or cleaning up stray shavings. It comes with three grating surfaces you can swap out to meet all your grating needs. Taco night, anyone? A set of waterproof globe lights to instantly improve the ambiance of your backyard. I don't know how string lights do it, but they have a 100% success rate of making me happy. A set of wildly popular "hotel" pillows so you can feel like you're falling asleep at the Ritz. Reviewers rave that these are the perfect balance of fluffy and firm, meaning you can prop yourself up for a good in-bed TV binge. And a set of massively popular double-brushed microfiber sheets that are so soft and cuddly, reviewers have likened them to high-end hotel bedding. You'll forget aaaalll about thread count when you slide into these sheets. A Capri Blue Volcano-scented multipurpose cleaner — yes, that's right, the signature Anthropologie scent — to make cleaning feel extra rewarding. Now you can clean and leave behind a luxurious scent that'll have guests looking at your home in a new light. Was it always so chic in here? A solid wood countertop that fits over your washer and dryer in case you're really hurting for space in your cramped laundry room. The water-resistant surface will give you space for your various laundry accouterments, plus room to fold. A grassy drying rack for parents who have a ton of bottles to clean and don't want their carefully balanced mountain of dishes to come crashing down. The grass keeps bottles, tops, and other small items upright without you needing to constantly rearrange or navigate weirdly placed dividers. It's also just cute! Look at the little nipple tree. A beloved O-Cedar mop and bucket set that'll make mopping way faster and easier, thanks to the hands-free wringing system. The mop head's unique triangular shape allows it to get into corners, making it a favorite amongst neat freaks and professional cleaners. A bright and cheery fruit bowl with a secret — there's a hidden colander! The sneaky bowl lets you rinse your fruit and then display it on the counter while it dries. A set of extra mini drawers that clip onto your shelves so you can easily grab what you need instead of having to remove half the contents of your fridge just to get to the mayo. Promising review: "I bought a new refrigerator, and I missed my deli drawer. I purchased this as a way to store deli cold meat. I'm so glad I bought it" —wendyGet one from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two size packs). A flat mop with a wringing bucket offering a space-saving option for small living spaces where storage is more valuable than gold. The compact bucket has a handle and inner scraper to remove dirt from the washable microfiber mop pads, making it a hit with over 22,000 5-star reviewers. A rotating spice rack that not only provides you with all the spices you need to start your culinary journey, but also comes with FIVE YEARS of free spice refills; that means you can sprinkle your sea salt with reckless abandon. The next time you want to make a mushroom gravy, you'll have Herbes de Provence right there! And chicken is going to taste so much better with a dash of rosemary. This tower comes with 20 jars of spices. I personally have this rack and can confirm it's legit. The construction is obviously a little flimsy, but it spins nicely and doesn't wobble. All the spices are fresh and quite nice!Promising review: "I LOVE THIS! It looks great on my counter, and all the new choices I have to cook with are just exciting!! Plus, the five years of refills is just icing on top." —ImaniGet a rack with 20 spices from Amazon for $36.92. A mattress vacuum complete with a UV light to kill lingering bacteria and a HEPA filter to trap particles as small as 0.1 microns! Dust and mites won't stand a chance! Bedtime will be so nice, you'll be happy you don't have to call and ask for an early checkout. A set of Shoe Slotz that lets you stack shoes on top of each other, meaning you can DOUBLE your storage space. In the words of Kelly, let's get some shoes. A set of Command spray bottle hangers to stick to the inside of a cabinet door for easy storage, so you can grab the multi-cleaner *the second* you hear food hit the floor. A silverware sorter that takes up very little space in your drawer but can fit up to 24 pieces of cutlery. With the extra space, the possibilities are endless. Maybe it's time for a novelty monstera slotted spoon? Plastic sliding storage bins reviewers have been using to bring order to any room you can think of, from bedroom closets to home offices. Thanks to their waterproof material, they can even go in your bathroom or garage. A crack weeder tool if your home looks like it's trying out to star in the next season of The Last of Us. The L-shaped head can sneak into tight spaces and tear out the weeds, moss, and stubborn roots that have rudely taken up residence in your sidewalk. A jalapeño corer so you can get rid of unwanted seeds in seconds and minimize the risk of you slicing your hand open. Best to get this step done ASAP so you can enjoy some jalapeño poppers in record time. Promising review: "Not sure why I didn't know about this nifty gadget before! I'm obsessed!! I make jalapeño poppers AT LEAST once a week, and it has always been a little time-consuming! This gadget has cut my prep time by more than half!!! Such great quality and love that it's dishwasher safe! You don't have to work hard to get stems and seeds out. Only takes about 10-15 seconds per pepper, and it's completely cleaned out! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $7.99. Clear, hardshell pouches perfect for cosmetics, toys, and craft supplies. You can stack them or throw 'em in a bag for easy traveling. They're basically go-bags, but for colored pencils and makeup. A Tibet Almond scratch remover stick that you can apply like ChapStick for your furniture. The colorless balm can help hide light scratches, watermarks, and water stains from wood, bamboo, glass, and more. Just open the can, remove the wrapper, and start rubbing the stick on unsightly marks. White caulk tape if you've noticed (and proceeded to ignore) some cracks in your previous caulk job. Use the waterproof sealing tape to fill in gaps before they get any worse and unwanted guests see the bug equivalent of a vacancy sign. Reviewers say this is easier and cleaner looking than liquid caulk, so there's no excuse to keep putting this off! An oil-stain remover doing the impossible — removing grease spots and refreshing your walkway, driveway, and more. You may have thought you had to live with The Stain until you moved, but no! A magic cleaning potion is here to banish that foe! Apply the formula, let it dry, then brush it away to reveal a stain-free surface. A bamboo shelf with a tilt-out hamper because I know you're sick of having your dirty unmentionables just out in the open like that. This turns what would normally have been an eyesore into a nice storage solution. Display decorative candles, not dirty socks! An expandable, cabinet-lining, two-tier shelf that will make every bottle you own visible and easily accessible. You'll never have to settle for paprika when you wanted smoked paprika ever again. Reed fencing offering a little privacy when you don't have the space or money to plant trees or bamboo. It'll obscure the view of your patio, balcony, or yard while still letting in some light so you don't make the space feel walled in. Promising review: "I am very happy with this reed fencing. The lovely brown color and tight weave with the string is so much better than ones I've had in the past that were woven with wire that look shabby and horrible. These are a wonderful quality for the price, to make putting up large sections of fencing more affordable. They are not completely private, as people have mentioned, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to see through a little bit, but they work great to give some sense of separation and privacy." —Lauren it from Amazon for $56.09+ (available in seven sizes and two colors). A rapid egg cooker so you can stop settling for overcooked hardboiled eggs with gross gray yolks. You deserve better. Along with hardboiled eggs, this thing can make omelets and poached and scrambled eggs, all without close supervision. An outdoor Wi-Fi extender you can place in a weatherproof enclosure (like a screened-in patio) to extend your network range to your porch or backyard. The applications are endless, from outdoor movie nights to actually getting your teenager outside for some fresh air. A pair of fan light pull cords so you can finally know which turns on the fan and which turns on the light. What an ~illuminating~ product! A wooden privacy screen with built-in planters at the bottom to help distract from whatever you're trying to hide, whether it be lawn equipment, an AC unit, garbage cans, or a giant skeleton lawn ornament waiting for its time to shine this fall. Promising review: "We have a small patio close to a grassy area where the neighborhood dogs do their business — so annoying and smelly — so we needed a way to get lots of florals in while also providing some privacy. These are perfect and hold lots of florals; the ivy I have is already beginning to climb the trellis, and they're sturdy!! We live in a windy area, and so far, they haven't budged. Also so, so easy to put together!! Took us less than a half hour probably." —JessicaGet it from Amazon for $76.49+ (available in three sizes; clip the 10% off coupon when applicable).

Asobo Studio's next Plague Tale game is a prequel arriving in 2026

To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Asobo Studio announced at the Xbox Games Showcase that its new entry in the Plague Tale series is a prequel set 15 years before its last game. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is focused on the smuggler Sophia from A Plague Tale: Requiem , and is scheduled to be released in 2026. Based on the brief description from the game's trailer, Resonance follows a young Sophia as she "seeks her independence as a fierce plunderer in the unforgiving world of the 14th century." The trailer shows Sophia on the run, escaping conflict, exploring mysterious ruins, and generally being pursued by danger, alongside more ominous vignettes showcasing Asobo's typically lush visuals. If surviving a plague made the first two games seem grim, escaping a flaming ship or battling in a gladiatorial arena doesn't make Sophia's past adventures seem all that more for fun. Still, there's very little to go on, and quite a bit more to learn before Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy comes out in 2026.

Amazon Cancels ‘Étoile' Despite Previously Ordering A Season 2

Etoile Some cancellations are more brutal than others, and that's what we've just seen with what Amazon Prime Video just did to Étoile. The ballet-based show was cancelled after one season, but this was despite ordering two seasons before it was released. Despite an order like that, it's not guaranteed that it produces both seasons and well, here we are, a case of this going badly wrong. Étoile was made by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who was behind the famed Gilmore Girls and Amazon darling The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. This is also her second foray into a dance show after Bunheads, but she just can't make it happen. It's true that Étoile made it to #1 on Amazon Prime Video's top 10 list, but it didn't stay there long, and the context of its overall viewership wasn't great. The show was quickly displaced by Reacher, months after its third season had ended, and The Wheel of Time which also ended up cancelled. The end result was not enough viewership for the cost of the show, so despite the relationship with the creator, decent enough audience scores, and at least a brief #1 charting, it didn't survive closer inspection. Etoile The 'rethinking' of series plans is interesting, as Deadline brings up The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Amazon's enormously budgeted fantasy series that lost half its viewership between seasons 1 and 2. Previously, it was thought that the show was guaranteed to run for five seasons due to a deal with the Tolkien estate, but there are intermediating circumstances that can alter plans. Rings of Power, for instance, was not officially renewed for months and months when season 3 was supposedly going to be a guarantee initially. And it might be the case that depending on its performance, season 3 could be its last. There have been a few hard cuts at Amazon lately, with another being the aforementioned Wheel of Time, which was just getting really good three seasons in. But Étoile didn't even get that long, and despite positive vibes about the series, it wasn't allowed to attempt another run. At present, it doesn't seem like Amy Sherman-Palladino has any upcoming projects in the works, as surely the assumption was that Étoile would continue. She does still have an overall deal with Amazon, but where this goes from here after this latest, unfortunate turn is unclear. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
