Promising review: "To the seller and creator of this item, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I may sound silly when I say this, but it's the truth: froggy soap has boosted my serotonin SO MUCH. Ever since I bought my froggy soap, I can definitely see a change in my mood. Not only has it been a serotonin booster for me, but it has also been a bonding experience.

I rationalized my purchase by telling myself that I would give a few of them away as gifts, but I just cannot part with any of them. My plants are even cuter than they were before! I'll be back for more! 😁" — Christie Belles
10. A door hinge topper that'll accessorize a spot in your home that I'm 99.9% sure you've never thought of accessorizing. Good luck forgetting that this exists!

14. Ecologies, a nature-inspired card game for some tabletop fun. Players must build balanced food webs across biomes while simultaneously strategizing to send their opponent's webs out of whack.
Montrose Biology
Montrose Biology is a small business run by Matt, a science teacher and nature lover.
Promising review: "I bought the whole set of three card boxes together. The art of each individual card is phenomenal. The gameplay is straightforward. The strategy might be a little nuanced at first, but a couple of 'make it easier' house rules got the game going, and people were able to grasp the broad strokes of the game mechanics. As play experience continues, we will work our way back to the true game rules I am sure it will continue to be a favorite. The manufacturing quality is excellent. Shipping was pretty quick. The game cards met my expectations. I would recommend you purchase this game. Not even to mention the cool education aspect of it." — Russell Swannack
15. A social battery pin because sometimes you can't even put together nice words to make people leave you the heck alone.

17. A handmade tiny vase for cat whiskers so — duh! — you can display your cat's shed whiskers. If you don't know why you'd want to do that, I have to assume it's because you don't own a cat.
Clay You So Much / Etsy
Clay You So Much is a small business based in New Jersey. This item can be customized (you'll just need to reach out to the seller!), so, like, can you imagine getting a tiny vase that looks just like your furry friend?! :3 You can also have their name added.
