It's Very OK To Want Every Weird Thing On This List
Some fuzzy hand towels shaped like hedgehogs if your bathroom is seriously lacking in ~quill-ity~ decor. Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30 — a lighter-than-air sunscreen mouse so you can protect your skin while still looking like a treat (and not Casper the Friendly Ghost). It offers broad-spectrum protection, is water-resistant, doesn't feel heavy on the skin, and smells like summer. As one reviewer said, *piano riffs* "whip me baby one more time." A little worry wart that will make you, an anxious, always-stressed person, feel seen. A plant propagation buddy to lend you a helping hand in your journey to propagate your pothos. These plant babysitters are designed to fit a variety of glasses. A sticker because *cries in millennial* I feel this. A Frankenstein pumpkin mold for some pretty ghastly gourds — yep, you can grow a pumpkin that looks like Frankenstein. A Stairslide kit if you wanna win the "World's Coolest Parent" title by turning boring old stairs into an exhilarating ride. We won't tell anyone if you try it too! A cute telescoping boba pencil case so taking notes and studying for exams is a little less sad and dreary. A splash-proof shower lamp that'll instantly improve the vibes in your bathroom, preventing you from having to turn on the ugly big light when you want to relax with a before-bed bath or searing your retinas when you stumble into the bathroom at 6:30 a.m. for your before-work shower. A Godzilla microwave cleaner to destroy caked-on gunk and leftover greasy microwave popcorn butter rather than, y'know, entire cities. Fill him with water and vinegar, and let his cleansing breath loosen the stains and splatters, so you can wipe them away with ease. Some frog wizards because they're just chill lil' dudes. Let him keep you company at your desk or have him commune with your plants. A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser for the person who feels ~dead~ until they've had their morning tea. A very appropriate headband if need an extra hand keeping your hair out of your face while slathering your skin with slimes and serums. Now please tell me, is this a snail, slug, or alien headband? A tin of emergency googly eyes so you can surprise your housemate in the morning when they go to grab a banana and — BAM! — there is a pair of eyes staring back at them. Food, water bottles, doors, plants, picture frames, a retainer case — they're all fair game! A fidget worm that'll be as cool to look at as it is to play with. It's super quiet, featherlight, and morphs into so many interesting shapes. A ~cat-a-pult~ to, well, pelt people with mini cat figures. Yep. Medicube's vitamin C capsule cream because it contains what looks like cute lil' boba pearls that you *pop* to release a cocktail of good-for-your-skin ingredients: niacinamide, ascorbic and ferulic acids, and sea buckthorn extract. The results? Softer, brighter, more hydrated skin. A miniature Stanley tape measurer keychain for anyone who's walked around Home Goods saying, "It's about yea big" to their partner while motioning with their hands when trying to find a shoe rack that'll fit in the entryway. This 3-foot measuring tape is wayyyy more accurate. A 3D-printed cat vomit caution sign if you want to avoid any mishaps involving someone stepping in a puddle of fresh vomit — and also maybe find some humor in one of the many annoyances that come with owning a cat. (We still love Mr. Whiskers!). A minty jelly frog soap so you can give your bathroom a ~froggin'~ cute upgrade. You'll have to check the powder room after every guest to make sure they don't try to take this lil' guy home with them. An adorable whistling tea kettle that'll tick all the boxes: doesn't leak while pouring, the handle doesn't get hot to the touch, and it's shaped like a chicken. Reviewers say the whistle isn't a high-pitched screech; it's more like a fog horn or a car honk. A pair of cat paw oven mitts to protect your hands from any ~cat-tastrophes~ in the kitchen involving hot bakeware. A kitchen sponge holder because your little guy has big dreams of scrubbing that leftover scrambled egg from your pan, so he's gonna need a a good night's sleep. A crochet shrimp surprise box — or should I say ~shrimprise~ box — for the most awesome crochet crustacean friend. Each shrimp comes with a mystery costume and accessories. (My personal favorite is cowboy shrimp, but office shrimp is also a vibe.) A set of large ceramic cabbage bowls if a much more expensive version of these bowls is sitting in your Williams-Sonoma cart... Plus, they'll nest together neatly, taking up less space in your cabinet. A pack of Croc-inspired car air fresheners so the next time someone gets into your car and says, "What's that smell?" you can proudly answer, "My Crocs!" A ~wooly~ adorable shaved sheep plushie that sheds its coat at the slide of a zipper. (Wish this were me in the summer!!) A box of microwave truffle popcorn to tickle your bougie taste buds. A minion Wi-Fi router because why would you go with any other option when you know Kevin and Bob routers exist. An unofficial Sims cookbook for satisfying the little craving you get every time you make your Sim cook goopy carbonara, chicken saltimbocca, silly gummy bear pancakes, or lobster thermidor. Oh feebee lay!

After five minutes, the gunk will be so loose that you can DESTROYYYYYY it all the way this big dude came after Manhattan.

Sunscreen as a flex? Why are these 'status' SPF products everywhere?
There's nothing chic about walking around looking like a bright red tomato thanks to a sunburn. And since using sunscreen is one of the surest ways to avoid getting burnt, it means that SPF is one of the best accessories. We've spent years reporting on what to look for when shopping for sunscreen and experts have consistently told us that you need a SPF of at least 30 and something that offers broad-spectrum protection. Thankfully, hundreds of brands on the market meet this criteria. And while you can very well go with the basic formulas and brands that have been around since you were a kid, there are many newer brands out there that have a bit more of a cool factor. Below, we've rounded up sunscreens that one could call 'status sunscreens,' meaning that they instantly broadcast that you are in the beauty know. Supergoop! Superscreen Think of this as the O.G. when it comes to status sunscreens. While the brand has several formulas, we like this one because it provides broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection while hydrating the skin like a moisturizer. It absorbs quickly into the skin and also filters blue light from devices, according to the brand. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin, who has sensitive, combination skin, is a big fan and says she likes that it combines two steps of her skin care routine into one. Dune Bod Guard Dune's Bod Guard, an NBC Select Wellness Award winner, is lightweight and absorbs quickly. It is intended to be used on the body and doesn't leave behind a white cast. It also contains moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E and hibiscus fruit extract, according to the brand. Vacation Classic Whip SPF 30 Nope, this is not a can of whipped cream—even if it looks like one. Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30 looks almost like shaving cream, goes on smooth, and absorbs quickly. According to the brand, it is reef-safe, water-resistant, and good for sensitive skin. The formula also contains coconut oil, vitamin E and aloe vera to hydrate and soothe the skin as you wear it. I use this sunscreen every morning and love how it sinks in quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft. It feels more like a serum than a lotion and contains hyaluronic acid to moisturize. I've also found that it doubles as a primer and makes my foundation go on smoother when I use it. Prefer mineral sunscreen? Try this one from Nécessaire. The brand is known for trying to keep a low carbon footprint and using sustainable practices when formulating its products. This sunscreen is hypoallergenic and contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and panthenol to nourish and hydrate skin. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a writer at NBC Select who covers various topics, including home, tech and beauty. I have covered major shopping events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday for over a decade.
