A screaming goat is the perfect way to meme-ify your desk, IMO.
1. A box of bubble wrap sheets for the next time you want to have a child-like temper tantrum because, unfortunately, people frown upon that. And with over 6,000 bubbles in a single box, you'll have plenty of supplies to enjoy a little relief when life gets on your nerves!
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
2. A dimmable sad duck night-light because why get a boring old lamp for your nightstand, when you could get this *highly* relatable one? You'll be saying "same" as you turn it on first thing Monday morning.
Amazon
Promising review: "Like a lot of us, this duck is just doing the best they can. They look a bit sad and forlorn but yet they're a literal bright spot in your day. I work from home and I don't typically like a lot of lights on when I'm working but this little friend gives off just enough light to make my day a little more cheerful and I haven't bitten anyone since I started using it as a little desk lamp. It's has also come in quite handy when I've lost power during a few summer storms. It's not bright enough to read with but it is good at banishing the creepy things that live under your bed. It seems to hold a charge for a good amount of time and it charges easily on my laptop while I'm working. I didn't have many expectations for this little light but it's cute and useful and I am considering buying a few more." — Rebecca Swanson
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
3. A pound of cereal marshmallows that'll make your inner child scream with joy — I can't be the only one who used to dig through boxes of Lucky Charms. You'll get the best part of the cereal *and* enjoy a bowl full of marshmallows (which I know you've dreamed of).
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
4. An extra-extra long plushie for some supreme comfort as you lay down watching your comfort show. You'll be saying, "Pass me the paw-pcorn" in no time!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "My kids love these long cats. And now we buy them for gifts for all their firiends. It is unique and fun especially if you struggle with gift ideas. It's perfect." — Ali M.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 5 lengths and 16 styles).
5. A laptop sticker that'll quickly give your coworkers the memo that you can't be bothered. Now they might just second guess whether or not to start their next email with "hope this finds you well" — because no... it did not.
Me Pop Stickers / Etsy
Me Pop Stickers is a woman-owned small business based in Brooklyn, NY that sells unique (and adorable) stickers.
Get it from Me Pop Stickers on Etsy for $3.92+ (available in six sizes).
6. A snail-inspired skincare headband if you fully caved into the snail mucin hype, and now it's a holy grail product of yours. Now, your face will get all the moisturizing benefits without any product seeping into your hair.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love this SO MUCH, I embrace my inner snail every time I wash my face. It's soft but not too fluffy and thick, it has a nice stretch but it's also not too loose where I feel like it's falling. Buy some for you and your snail friends :)" — sam
Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in 17 colors).
7. A sticky note holder if you love making ~old-fashioned~ to-do lists but sometimes lose track of them — this little hanger is here to help! Just pin him up with a thumbtack, and your list will always be right in front of you — no more digging through messy drawers to find it!
8. An absurdly cute dinosaur sculpture to hold your keys, card holder, coins, or hair ties right in its mouth. Your guests will ~roar~ with laughter every time they see this.
www.amazon.com
It even has little pads on the bottom, so it won't scratch up any surfaces!
Promising review:"This little dino is very nice and substantial. It is small, we use it to store our keys, and this works quite well. He is much heavier than expected, and the contrasting gold really stands out. He even has little pads on the bottom so he won't scratch whatever you set him on. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM!!!" — Jeremy Szabo
Get it from Amazon for $53.98 (available in three colors).
9. A pair of magnetic hand-holding socks to get your flirty foot game on by yourself or with your BFF or partner!
Amazon
Promising review:"My sister and I have had so much fun with these socks!!! They are super cute and the magnetic hold really well. The magnets are a bit big so you do notice them but overall super fun and cute." — addison fullmer
Get them from Amazon for $8.58+ (available in two colors and in packs of four).
10. A doggie hair clip that truly deserves a round of a-paws for how stinkin' cute it is. If you feel like you're having a bad hair day, don't worry; people will focus on how adorable this is instead.
Promising review:"This dog clip is beyond perfect. The extra-long tongue on the dog perfectly embodies the spirit of a bulldog. This will make ANY bulldog-loving long long-haired person overjoyed. I get lots of compliments when I wear it, and I smile whenever I see it. I've been wearing this clip regularly for a year and it's held up beautifully!" — Laura is NICE
Get it from Amazon for $12.88+ (available in 23 styles).
11. A pack of edible chocolate candles to make people say "...did you really just eat your candle? 🤨" after you make your b-day wish. Just make sure to remove the wick and you're set to eat it.
www.amazon.com
Let Them Eat Candles is a family-owned small business.
Promising review: "Got this for my son's birthday. He and the other kids love it. They were so surprised when I asked, 'Who wants to eat a candle?' But after I took a bite, everyone wanted to eat it, too. There was more interest in eating candle than the cake. This chocolate candle is a must for any kid's birthday." — Amazon Customer
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $16.95 for a three-pack (available in eight styles and larger packs).
12. A bendable stuffed doll that's the epitome of, "let me contemplate my entire life real quick."
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"He may look like he is having an existential crisis, but this banana man is definitely worth the purchase. I love him! No matter how bummed out I am, he is always far more bummed than me, and that somehow cheers me up." — Dei
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
13. A silly as heck vase with posable arms and legs so your beautiful flowers aren't the only thing making you smile (and giggle a little). It'll DEFINITELY be a conversation starter when your guests come over.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The consensus on my social media page is that everyone should have one. I finally got a chance to try it out with some daffodils, and really, it's hard not to smile when you see them." — Susy Lundy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
14. The Dingle Dangle that looks silly, but will be pretty dang helpful and keep your baby delightfully distracted when you're changing their diaper. Bonus: It breaks down into three parts, so you get a toy, a chime (you can take on the go), and a diaper distractor all in one!
Amazon
Btw, you might recognize this from Shark Tank!
Promising review: "Grandson loves playing with it! Magic fingers are fun to put in the mouth. Keeps him occupied and remaining forward while being able to change his diaper/clothing without squirming! Great invention! He loves it and I love it !" — Dawn
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (also available in a deluxe version).
15. "Gracula," a vampire-shaped garlic mincer so you can say goodbye to painstaking slicing and dicing — this gets the job done with a quick twist of the head. It'll make cooking more fun *and* keep your hands odor-free in the process. And it's so cute that you'll find yourself in love with a vampire — just like Lily-Rose Depp's character in Nosferatu (2024).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This little bloodsucker is 100% food-safe, BPA-free, and dishwasher safe!
Promising review:"It's so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient, and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher-safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece so no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily; it is honestly a game changer for my cooking game!" — Llamazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
16. A relatable T-shirt because when someone says, "Tell me about yourself," you don't know whether to tell them your middle school lore or your favorite color. Because let's be real, small talk is just TOO much sometimes.
What Would Cara Do / Etsy
What Would Cara Do is a Boston-based, woman-owned small business.
Promising review: "Great service and a great product! I love my new shirt. I had a question for the seller and they were also quick and professional when answering my questions. I would recommend and buy from this shop again." — Ariel Hoover
Get it from What Would Cara Do on Etsy for $23.44 (available in unisex sizes XS–5XL and two colors).
17. A mini Waving Inflatable Tube Guy for when your boss just invited you to *another* meeting that could've just been an email. While that is eye-roll-worthy, this flapping desk buddy will turn that frown upside down before you even realize it.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My youngest loves seeing these guys everywhere we go. When we drive around and she sees one outside, she yells, 'Look, it's a (color) guy!' So we got her this little one. She is just obsessed with how she has one of her own! It is so cool. Made of awesome material. The fan is strong, and it waves around just like the larger ones you can put in your yard." — Joe H.
Get it from Amazon for $8.58.
18. The HairyGrabster, a Shark Tank famous product with a spiky blob design to hold loose hair tightly that would otherwise go down the drain and cause a clog. Just suction cup it to your shower wall so everyone in your home can just smear their hair-covered hands onto it and send those expensive calls to the plumber, well, down the drain.
Promising review: "I saw this product on Shark Tank and was annoyed that the sharks (nearly all men, and one woman who's worn her hair short for years) had such a strong negative reaction to the HairyGrabster. As soon as I saw it, I was like YES, I NEED THAT! Especially since my husband decided to grow his hair long as an outcome of the pandemic. We need this silicone thing to keep our drains clear. He had no idea you lose that much hair when you wear it long, but that's because I've been the one picking his hair out of the drain lately! I tested it out in the shower tonight, and the HairyGrabster lives up to its name! See my attached photo. The mass of hair is gross, but less gross than yanking it out of the shower drain along with other nasty stuff. $10 each is kind of expensive, so I bought a two-pack to defray the cost. I never knew I needed this item, but now I can't think of a better solution, aside from cutting my hair shorter to minimize hair loss. I will be buying more to give as gifts to my other long-haired friends. The HairyGrabster suctions to the shower door really well. You just need to wet the back beforehand!" — Holly TJ
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (available in three colors and in a two-pack).
19. How to Be More Shrek: An Ogre's Guide to Life if you want a tutorial on how to find a quiet place to live with no real-world responsibilities. I mean, who doesn't want to start their day with a mud bath?
Promising review:"I got this book as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He has slowly started turning green and may have even gained a donkey friend. This book made him more Shrek. 💚" — Samantha Martin
Get it from Amazon for $11.69.
20. A bear cub toilet paper holder so you can get a little chuckle as you handle your business. Surely the Charmin bears will be jealous of your bathroom when they walk in and see this.
Amazon
21. An earring holder stand that looks straight out of a Polly Pocket collab with McDonald's (IYKYK). It's the perfect way to adorably organize your jewelry and keep it on display so you *actually* wear it!
Amazon
Promising review:"This is as adorable as advertised, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it's actually practical, too. It holds quite a few earrings in a small space, with them all easily visible and accessible. I love it!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.69+ (available in seven colors).
22. A mini claw machine to bring you back to the days of begging your parents for money so you can *almost* win that plushie. But since you're an adult now, you can play for free.99 baby — and you can even make a game out of taking your pills, like some reviewers do!
Amazon
Be careful when letting kids play with this because the mini prizes are a choking a hazard!
Promising review: "Impulse buy after laughing hysterically at the video of this going around on TikTok. This thing is cute and fun and very entertaining! Be forewarned: The clear top dome part does not attach firmly." — Szibarita
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two color sets).
23. A jumbo olive candle you can add to your bar cart decor to announce "This is a dirty martini household."
The top notes are jasmine, neroli, orange blossom.
Get it from Selfridges for $22.50.
24. A bumper sticker so you can induce some guilt into people who road rage at you for no good reason. You're just a baby!
Spellcast Studio / Etsy
Spellcast Studio is a small business.
Promising review: "Absolutely adorable!! I love it, my friends love it, it's perfect!! I opted to stick it to a magnet so I could move it, and it worked out perfectly!! Smooth application. High quality." — anastasia
Get it from Spellcast Studio on Etsy for $10.
25. And a lil' piggy if you want a companion that'll happily let you scream whatever song you want in the morning *or* help you crank out some work. Just place it on top of your car monitor or laptop screen for a porkin' good time.
Amazon
Promising review: "The display console on my 2022 Toyota Highlander doesn't quite align with Pigsly's physique, but using just one of the adhesive tabs has kept him in place through drives and deployment of the sunshade. There is no reason you actually need this lucky piggy, but if you are in the market for a porcine pal for your ride, you can't go wrong with this one." — BHL
Get it from Amazon for $7.50 (available in two other styles).
26. A pair of cat paw oven mitts so you can pull out your dinner or dessert without letting out a cat-like yelp.
Amazon
Promising review:"Ordered for my mom and was shocked at the quality! They are sooo thick and the design looks high end and exactly as pictured. Very impressed." — Nicole T
Get them from Amazon for $13.50 (available in two styles).
27. A screaming goat you'll want on your desk because the next time your Monday is *really* Monday-ing, you'll want an outlet. So go ahead and hit that goat to get out your cathartic screaming.

I Came Across These 32 Random Products That Are *So Cool* I Just Have To Share Them With You

A two-pack of birria bombs, and no, they aren't bath bombs; they're for tacos, of course! If you're tired of trying and trying to perfect a birria quesadilla or constantly spending $$ at restaurants to get this amazing meat, just add a chuck roast and some water to your CrockPot, throw one of these in, and bam! You've got a seriously yummy, sublime dinner. You may have seen these on TikTok!EZ Bombs is a small biz that specializes in different cooking bombs like pozole, tinga, and of course, birria!Okay, so to use these grab a chuck roast (up to four pounds), cut it into chunks, add four cups of water (some reviewers use broth instead), and toss one of these babies in. Let it cook (cook time will depend on how you cook it), and then add it to your tacos, quesadillas, burritos, ramen, nachos, taquitos, whatever you want! The bombs blend 13 different spices and chiles like arbol, guajillo, and ancho. Here are the cooking times for different ways of cooking — pressure cooker: an hour and 45 minutes, slow cooker: six hours on high or eight hours on low, stovetop: three hours on low heat *or* until fork tender. Promising review: "This seasoning has been a game-changer for my quesabirrias. I used it with chuck roast, and the results were incredible — full of bold, authentic flavor. It's incredibly simple to use, and the seasoning blend does all the heavy lifting. Definitely worth keeping stocked for quick, flavorful meals." —Ruby VizuetGet a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99. A collection of Avengers comics because Endgame came out in theaters in 2019, and you've been *dying* for some more Avengers movies. Dive into the OG Marvel stories with this awesome book as you impatiently wait for Doomsday to be released. Promising review: "Obviously awesome. This takes me back to my youth without having to rummage through my old comics." —Ryan AGet it from Amazon for $17.30+ (available in a paperback or hardcover version). A portable car jump starter with a flashlight so you can jump your car by your darn self. Perfect to have in case of any sort of emergency cuz it also has USB ports that'll charge your phone 50% faster than other chargers. Honestly, a must-have. All you gotta know is where the red clamp goes and where the black one goes (don't ask me, I'm literally just a girl, I'd have to TikTok it or call my dad). The flashlight also has different lighting patterns if you're alone somewhere and need someone to find you. It can jump-start all 12V common vehicles with up to 8.0L gas and 7.0L diesel engines. It can also charge more than just your phone — cameras, earbuds, watches, whatever you can connect with a USB cuz it's a power bank. It can also jump-start motorcycles, lawnmowers, trucks, passenger cars, and boats. Promising reviews: "I never bother reviewing things, but this is amazing. Bought it two months ago and thought it would be good to keep in the car. I saw someone with a dead battery in a parking lot last Friday, so I said, 'Do you want to try this? I've never used it.' Started their car immediately. I drove out of state later that night. The following morning, my car wouldn't start. What are the odds? I used this, got my car started immediately, headed to Auto Zone, and found out I had a dead battery. It saved me a lot of money because I probably would have called a tow truck and had it dropped off at a shop if I didn't have this with me. It's also cool to charge your phone or whatever with a USB. Highly recommend this." —Kevin beck"I pulled into a fast food for lunch. After lunch, my vehicle wouldn't start, so I called AAA for a tow. Upon arrival, the driver went through his procedures, including a battery test. He was using this device. I purchased one for myself, one for my son, then one for my grandson." —William H. DavisGet it from Amazon for $44.98. A 14-pack of menstrual discs that'll have you ready to toss the tampons. These babies hold the capacity of five regular-sized tampons worth of fluid, they're perfect for heavy and light periods, they're comfortable, and they help prevent odor, irritation, and dryness. You can also wear 'em overnight, during exercise, swimming, and even sex without any leaks! Reviewers are lovin 'em. Oh! Anddd, you can wear it for up to 12 HOURS!!Promising review: "So my period ended yesterday, and I only used these Softdiscs the whole time. This was my first time trying anything besides tampons and pads. I love them; they are much better than tampons and didn't leak once. I always leak on day one or two with tampons. The removal is a little messy, so do it over a toilet or in the shower, but the more you do it, the easier it gets, and you'll figure out how to make it less messy. I also had sex with it; I know that's the question for most. My husband said it felt weird, but he still had no issues finishing. No leaks during sex because it's suctioned onto the cervix area. These are a must-buy. I'll never go back to tampons." —Tiffany"Comfortable, discrete, stays in place, and easy to remove. Much gentler and easier to use than any other cup I've used before. I can keep it in for a full 12-hour shift as a nurse and not leak. Have also used when intimate, and mess-free!" —Joel Ter WeeGet a 14-pack from Amazon for $13.94. A pair of Paris Hilton nonslip silicone oven mitts because it just makes sense. I mean, oven mitts that say "that's hot," the *iconic* Y2K Paris Hilton phrase?! AND THEY'RE PINK?!? Perfection. They can withstand heat up to 475 degrees!Promising review: "I wasn't expecting much of these beyond a cute color and print, but they're incredible quality. Very heat resistant, great grippy design, and the inside is soooo soft! Now THAT'S HOT!" —KGet them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two styles). A pet dryer box for cats up to 20 pounds and dogs up to 15 pounds. It has hundreds of ventilation holes and built-in safety temperature control to prevent your fur babe from over heating. It also has a lil' window so you can stick your hand in and give your pet some comforting rubs if they're freaking out in there. Plus it's quiet and will dry your little furry one super fast. Promising review: "We had done extensive research before deciding on this product for our new puppy. This is really a great investment. The puppy remained calm throughout and was thoroughly dried from head to tail. The side access panel is such a good feature to reassure your pet if needed. It's also a good way for us to check on the dryness of the fur without having to open the main door. This is a must have for pet owners! The only thing I will add is that since our puppy is super small, it works really well. I think the size can be a limitation for bigger pets." —CattGet it from Amazon for $398.99. How to Be More Shrek: An Ogre's Guide to Life because the fifth movie in the franchise drops in December of 2026 so we've got until then to brush up on our swamp etiquette. I mean, there's seriously some quality advice in there — "I'm an ogre. And I'm not going to apologize for acting like one." Period! Words to live by honestly. That and "what are you doing in my swamp?!" A lil' dumpling light here to make your nights cozier and days brighter with an ambient glow and his cutie litto face. And he's squishy! Don't you just wanna snuggle him?! Unfortunately, the little bamboo steamer is not included, but it's cool, this cutie doesn't need one to be absolutely adorable. He automatically shuts off after an review: "I love this thing so much. It's a lot bigger than I honestly expected! Perfect lil' night-light to take around when I can't be bothered to hit a light switch, and it isn't so bright that it's hard to look at. I'm tempted to create a little collection." —Sophie it from Smoko for $20. A foldable exercise bike because you'd *love* a Peloton, but where the heck is it gonna go in your small apartment? It supports up to 300 pounds and you can pair it to the app for trainer-led workouts and vitrual scenic tours, and to track your progress. And then after you've crushed your workout, fold it up and shove it int the closet! Promising review: "I love it! I get my workout in while watching my TV shows. One episode and I have cycled for 16 miles!! I love that I can change the resistance levels. For a stationary bike, this one has some really great extra features. I can tone my legs and arms at the same time. The seat is comfortable for the most part, but when sitting on anything for too long you tend to feel the pressure in your muscles (glutes to be exact). The back plate helps some, but not when you lean forward and hold the handle bars. It's pretty accurate on the readings for my BPM's. I use a smartwatch and they are pretty close in readings. I do hear squeaking now since I set it up and have ridden for over 100 miles total. I know I need to possibly tighten the screws on the front to alleviate most of the noise. It's easy to store away, but it is also a little heavy to lift if you don't lift much. Great bike for the price. I'm totally happy with my purchase. I would definitely refer this bike to my friends and family. I already suggested it to my co-workers, so that we can start a cycle class together." —MsAngieGet it from Amazon for $177.49+ (available in three colors/styles). A set of mini cheese boards so you can continue to remind all of your guests that you are indeed the host with the most. Everyone can have their very own little charcuterie spread, so fancy!

Promising review: "I was curious about my astrological information and I love scented candles, so I bought one for myself. Now that I know it's really good quality, smells great and comes in a pretty box, I'll buy some for gifts :).The reading on the back was accurate! Now I'm excited to learn more about my 'stones' and use my daily affirmation. Love it!" — it from Amazon for $39 (available in 365 birthdates). A Disney princess color-by-number coloring book that'll literally take over your life. Start thinking of excuses as to why you can't go out now, cuz this'll make you wanna be home with snacks and wine coloring every night. I have three of these coloring books (this one is on my wishlist), and I'm obsessed with themmmm. I kept seeing them on TikTok and had to have them. Pro tip: grab some paint pens (these are the ones I bought). They make all the difference, and that's how the coloring pages end up looking so good. If you love coloring as a little *me time relaxation* you should totes treat yourself. I have no regrets and plan to buy basically every single one of these coloring books. But for now, I'm loving the three I have (check 'em out — 1 and 2).Promising review: "I was nervous about this book, but it was the best coloring book I've ever owned. There are little lines that look like someone drew them in, but they come pre-filled in because the area is so tiny. The book's quality is amazing, super thick, very well-made. I use acrylic paint markers and they don't bleed through the paper and make the photos really pop! Overall, will be buying more books!" —SamGet it from Amazon for $34.69. A unicorn-head squirrel feeder so you can do good by the animals and give the little critters some snacks *and* get a good laugh out of it. Win-win situation, really.

It holds up to 28 photos so you can flip through memories and feel all nostalgic. Get it from Urban Outfitters for $20. A copy of Murdle, Volume 1 that'll have you spending your days feeling like Olivia Benson. If you feel like you were a detective in your past life, now's your time to shine and solve these murder mystery-themed logic puzzles. Cue the Law & Order: SVU *dun-dun* sound. An Oclean electric toothbrush with an interactive touchscreen that gives 👏 you 👏 feedback 👏 on what areas you missed by displaying a set of teeth on the little screen. If the area is red, you gotta brush a bit more. And if you download the app, you'll get a personalized brushing plan and report. This baby is definitely top tier. It comes with a charger and wall mount and is compatible with Apple Health!I just got this, and I'm obsessed. First and foremost, it's stunning and sleek and looks much better than my other electric toothbrush. I don't plan to throw my old toothbrush away yet, but that's only because I have a couple of toothbrush heads left, and I'm frugal, so I'm gonna use 'em up. But as soon as I'm out of the toothbrush heads, my Oral-B one goes in the garbage. My mouth has never felt cleaner, and the vibration is super gentle. Use this and then use their water flosser, and I swear you'll feel like you just left a dentist cleaning. I haven't had the chance to download the app and all that jazz yet simply because I'm a busy gworl but as soon as I get a day where I'm less busy I will. This ensures you're cleaning every itty bitty part of your teeth. I am loving it so review: "The toothbrush handle features a color touch screen that allows you to choose between Morning Gentle and Night Clean, as well as the ability to set custom modes using the Oclean Care App. What's even more interesting is the reward system that encourages users to develop good brushing habits. Achieve 360-degree visual cleaning without any blind spots, unlike ordinary electric toothbrushes that cannot sense missed areas and can create dead spots over time. The toothbrush comes with a blind zone reminder that alerts you when you score below 80 points, prompting you to make up for the missed areas. Ordinary electric toothbrushes do not have this feature, which can lead to bacteria build-up in the long run. The toothbrush provides an in-app brushing report, making brushing data clearly visible." —LittledeeGet it from Oclean for $99.99 (available in four colors). A nostalgic DoodleBob pen holder so that you aren't searching for a writing utensil at your desk when it's time to take notes. You'll be saying "Meyohimeyoi!" all day. *Giggles like SpongeBob*. A car visor extender for us shorties because pulling the car visor down alone DOESN'T DO A DARN THING TO BLOCK THE SUN. IDK about you, but I've considered a booster seat a few times. Well, I guess, no need for that with this little heaven sent baby available, huh? Promising review: "Driving to and from work has been a pain lately, even with sunglasses on. Being short, my regular car visor was not shielding the low sun. This shield cuts the glaring rays without inhibiting my vision. Perfect." —KimGet it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). A hair identifier spray that'll make dermaplaning a whole lot easier. You may also be mortified that you have so much peach fuzz you never knew was there, but at least you'll no longer *over* shave or miss a spot. Plus, it'll help keep your skin moisturized and protected while you shave. A "Grievance Journal" — aka a "burn book for the discerning misanthrope" with 52 prompts for venting and 52 ~dark humor-kinda~ jokes sprinkled throughout.

Some "Coochy" shaving cream that'll condition and moisturize your skin, and help you get a super smooth shave. It's gentle on sensitive skin, can help prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs, and it smells like cake! Promising review: "This stuff is like pure magic!!!! And for $26, I feel like this bottle is massive. Plus, when you use it to shave literally anywhere a little goes a very long way, so this bottle will definitely be lasting me a long time! The scent is immaculate — smells so good I could eat it! It's also super moisturizing and I've noticed since using it that I've had a lot less razor bumps on my inner thighs! I use it to shave everywhere, not just the 'coochie!'' —Summer RogersGet it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four sizes). A stink-blocking balm for anyone who's sensitive to funky smells. If you gag at everyday, unavoidable smells like diapers and taking out garbage, you'll fall in love with this quicker than Ariel fell in love with Prince Eric. It's made by a woman-owned small biz established by Jennifer, an RN who made the product for healthcare professionals like herself who desperately needed the balm under the nose and outside the nostrils, and repeat whenever necessary! Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns review: "I am taking anatomy this year and, after my first dissection, decided the smell of decaying rats was unbearable. I got in time for my practical and it masked the smell perfectly! Would def recommend to anyone dealing with pungent smells." —h. KrakeGet it from the StinkBalm Store on Amazon Handmade for $8.99. A flat hair clip so that you can give your neck a little rest and actually lean your head back on the couch. You'll still get the cute claw clip look, but with the ability to get some dang relief while serving looks. Promising review: "I was getting so tired of the headaches that claw clips gave me, as well as the daily annoyance of not being able to lean my head back. I hated having the clips bang on the headrest in the car. These are perfect! They allow you to put your head back in the car, on the couch, or in bed. Plus, they really hold your hair, even if it's thin like mine. Cute colors as well! Get these!!" —Jeanne JohnsonGet a six-pack from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 20 colors/styles).

It's stuffed with pistachio cream and a shredded phyllo dough called "kataifi" and the combo is so delicious, you may shed a tear taking your last bite. Y'all, is it me, or does it look like a Reptar bar? Promising reviews: "I'm not a huge chocolate fan, but I'm a sucker and had to try it to see what all the hype is about. Well, it's completely justified. It's amazing. The chocolate is excellent quality and so creamy and smooth. The pistachio adds this nutty flavor, and there is a wonderful crunch. It's good." —Tami A."I was anxious to try this since I've seen the Dubai chocolate bar go viral on TikTok. It was very delicious trying it for the first time. It was slightly melted due to the heat during transport, but I put it in the fridge for a few minutes before trying and it was amazing. If you're anxious to try it without going through the trouble of making it yourself, then try this." —AleshaGet it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in a two-pack). A "Born to yap" downloadable digital print that matches your vibe perfectly. IDK about y'all, but ever since I was a child I knew that I wanted to talk a whole lot all of the time.

Promising review: "Okay. Maybe TMI, but I get a lot of bumps on my body — be they ingrown hairs, reactions to new products, whatever. I had a boil, cyst, idk? — on my armpit, and nothing would help it drain until I tried this stuff. Like magic. Put it on at night since it should not be used under a bandage per instructions, but maybe be aware that you might bleed if you have a boil, bite, or something else blood-filled that needs to pop. Recently, I had a badly inflamed ingrown hair on my leg. I could seriously barely walk. I was sobbing uncontrollably in pain. I had tried Neosporin with pain relief, lidocaine ointment, you name it. Nothing was helping. It was days before my wedding, and I seriously didn't think I could walk down the aisle in the state I was in. My fiancé remembered I had this little gem in the bathroom and suggested I try it. I was desperate and in excruciating pain, so I figured, why not? Woke up the next morning with blood all over my leg, inside my pants, etc, but the bump(s) had drained, and I could walk again. This stuff literally saved my wedding." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in two sizes and in multipacks).

Yes, Prime Video Has Added More Ads Lately — Like, a Lot More

You're not imagining things: It does take longer to watch a TV show on Prime Video these days. The ad load on Amazon's streaming service has essentially doubled in recent months, from two and a half to three minutes of commercials per hour to four to six minutes per hour, according to a report from AdWeek. More from TVLine Jesse Williams' Amazon Action-Drama Sets Release Date - Also, Watch a Trailer for Hotel Costiera Casting News: Outlander Star Joins The Forsytes, Rings of Power Adds Trio and More The Summer I Turned Pretty: Love Blooms (and Taylor Swift Plays) in New Season 3 Trailer 'Prime Video ad load has gradually increased to four to six minutes per hour,' an Amazon representative admitted in an email to an ad buyer earlier this month. Amazon defended the move in a statement: 'While demand continues to grow, our commitment is to improving ad experiences rather than simply increasing the number of ads shown.' Prime Video was ad-free when it debuted in 2006 as an add-on to Amazon's Prime subscription service that offers free delivery of Amazon products for an annual fee. In January 2024, though, Prime Video introduced ads on all of its films and TV shows, asking subscribers to pay an additional $2.99 per month fee for an ad-free experience. (Other streamers like Netflix, Hulu and Disney+ all offer cheaper subscription tiers with ads as well.) 'This change will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time,' the streamer said in a message to subscribers at the time, adding: 'We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers.' Have you noticed the uptick in ads on Prime Video shows lately? Is it making you more likely to pay for no ads, or more likely to drop Prime Video altogether? Let us know in the comments!
