16 Normalised Things People Aren't On Board With

Recently, u/ibrahimelmouttaqi asked r/AskReddit, "What's one 'normal' thing people do that you secretly think is absolutely insane?" So we thought we'd share some of the most popular responses. "Put all their personal business on social media." "People posting their kids on social media, especially place like reddit, where you can't really control who see it. Especially if it's for some kind of internet points. Even worse are the motherhood influencers." "Blow a year's salary on loan for a ring and wedding ceremony." "Going into debt to buy shit to impress people they don't even know." "Buy a new water bottle or cup every time it's trendy. Nalgene, Tervis, Yeti, Hydroflask, Stanley Cup.... It's just bizarre to me that every time it's cups." "Filming intimate moments instead of living them." "PHONES WHILE DRIVING. Not secretly, but I find it insanely irresponsible." "Going to work sick because 'we need you' – like they can't find someone else to cover the shift. No wonder people don't want to work." "People just scrolling their phones nonstop for hours like it's totally normal… It's wild how addicted we all are and act like it's nothing." "Worshipping celebrities. For example, the Kardashians. They really don't care about the everyday person. They live in mansions, fly wherever, eat the best foods, buy whatever they feel like. They truly live in another world. Why do so many people follow every social media manufactured event in their lives?" "Disbelief in provable facts. Denialism is a real thing…" "Speeding everywhere. Like WTF. I live in a rural area with lots of winding roads and people fly down them." "Deny or downplay a bad situation, where recognition is the first step toward anything getting better." "Road rage, I feel like when operating heavy machinery capable of easily killing people and destroying property, that it's top priority to keep a level head. But the way some people act or talk about others on the road or even towards pedestrians and cyclists is fucking crazy." "Licking their fingers when they have sauce or stuff on them. That's why I fist bump instead of shaking hands. People won't and don't wash their hands anymore. Its freaking foul.." "Check each other's phones. You say you trust each other, but do this? I don't get it." H/T to u/ibrahimelmouttaqi and r/AskReddit for having the discussion! Any of your own to add? Let us know in the comments below!

If You Feel Like You Spend Practically All Day In Your Car, You Might Want To Try One Of These 32 Products

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Those long commutes will be just a little bit more cheery now that you have this swinging duck and a cup holder that will actually hold your 40-ounce water bottle. 1. A magnetic phone mount you can clip onto your air vent and make sure your Waze directions are at eye level. Unlike those bulky phone holders with a killer gorilla grip, this one lets you grab your phone effortlessly once you've reached your destination. Promising review:"I bought this for my cellphone. It comes with a magnet to attach to my cellphone, and then I attach the other magnet to the dash of my car air vent. After I make a call, I attach my cellphone to the magnet and can talk hands-free. My voice is heard clearly by the recipient of my call. I love it." — Arlene Berge Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.98. 2. A front seat organizer that fits into the lil' gap between the center console and your seat. If you're one who likes to bring several drinks to work, this is just the thing you need! Plus, it has space for extra things like your sunglasses or your car keys! Promising review: "Most awesome thing I bought all year! I have a small sports car, no cup holders. This thing looks awesome, is well-made, and is sturdy! It's everything I needed, and it looks fantastic in my car, even though I have a dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" — 2019 Get it from Amazon for $21.84+ (available in three colors and two styles). 3. Plus, a car cup–holder extender for those who have the extra large Hydroflask or the yeti-sized Yeti bottle and refuse to buy the versions that fit in the regular cup holders. This adjusts to fit your cup holder, and the silicone tabs make sure that your bottle stays PUT no matter how soft or hard you hit on those brakes. Swigzy is a small business that specializes in drinkware and accessories. Promising review: "Fits great in my F-150. I've been manually holding my Yeti for years, oftentimes picking my water bottle off the floor after it slides off my passenger seat. Slide no more. This thing works great. Feels sturdy. Holds all of my oversized cups. Highly recommend." — Bryan Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two colors and four styles). 4. A retractable car charger if your long-as-heck charging cables are getting on your nerves and creating a tumbleweed-like mess near your cupholders and shifting gear. This comes with a lightning cable, USB-C cable, *and* two other charging ports, so you and your passengers can all charge at once. Amazon Promising review: "Didn't realize I had so many cables in my car until I put this in. Now I just keep a few wrapped up in the glove box that fit older connections. Great that the cables retract out of the way. Only complaint could be that it is rather large, but it is to be expected with four connections. Little car voltage display is nice to have as well (everyone should have one of these, by the voltage amount it shows if your alternator is working)." — Jaxmoto Get it from Amazon for $25.99. 5. A Saucemoto dip clip that clips onto your air vent and lets you enjoy those nugs and fries without fear of spilling bright yellow Chik-fil-A sauce on your fave heather grey sweatpants. Amazon, Saucemoto is a small business established in 2018 that specializes in unique car accessories. Promising review:"How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.)" — Pleasure Pamela Get set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors and larger multipacks). 6. And, a handy car steering wheel tray so you can do your obligatory McDonald's stop and enjoy your food without doing a balancing act on your lap. It's sturdy enough to hold a laptop if you need to send a quick email during your stop when you're "working from home," but really on the road. 😉 Promising review: "I oftentimes like to enjoy my lunch at work in my car. I just like having my own personal space, but I'm always dropping my food on the seats and floor of my car. This product is super nifty, and I am guilty of discovering it via TikTok, of course, but it's great!" — Bella W Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in 19 colors). 7. A portable car vacuum that sucks the way that a vacuum *should* suck up all the dirt, crumbs, and hair that accumulate at the bottom of your car and in between the seats. It even comes with three different attachments for the different interiors of your car! Promising review:"This was the perfect solution for a busy mom like me. I have three little ones, and every day, there is a mess of some sort in the backseat. It saves time and money to not have to go to a carwash place and keep feeding the machine. It's simple to use and a great size. Wish the suction was a little better, but for the price and quality, I can't complain. It's a must!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four styles). 8. A lil' car mirror swinging duck accessory to remind you that you're just a silly lil' goose if you accidentally get a bit too close to the curb when parallel parking. Plus, it'll make you smile every time you get in the car at 7:30 a.m. (😣) for work. Promising review:"Saw it one day when I was just browsing. That's usually dangerous, I know. It's actually heavier than I thought it was going to be, in a good way though. It's not cheaply made. I've gotten a few laughs from people in other vehicles. Only side effect is if you get upset at other drivers, it isn't very intimidating when you're giving the mad stare. LOL. I was pleased with the purchase in all." — Charles Ramsey Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 9. A memory foam cushion since driving for hours does a lot for your booty, and not in a good way. This provides extra support to help your back, help improve your posture, and can even give you an extra boost for better visibility. Promising review:"Life changing on a long trip! My partner wanted us to drive from Colorado to California. I wanted to fly because I had a fall, and half of my body was in pain. He talked me into it, so I purchased this pillow for the car ride. What a game-changer! It helped so much with the pain, and I would recommend it for anyone in the car!" — Nadia Get it from Amazon for $37.44+ (available in three styles). 10. A squishy universal cleaning putty that'll get every speck of dust off of your dash, out of your vents, and removed from your cup holders. It's less wasteful than paper towels or wipes, which always end up leaving even more specks of dust. Amazon Promising review:"This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn't last, just when it's out of the container!" — Loren Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three colors). 11. A backseat hook so you don't have to do a full Cirque du Soleil move to get your purse from the backseat. This keeps your bag off the car floor and keeps all your necessities within reach. Promising review:"I saw this product in a TikTok video for 'products on Amazon you didn't know you needed' and added it to my cart. I didn't actually purchase it until I got a new, bigger car, and my kids were sick of me setting my big purse on their feet in the car. It's easy to snap on and stays in place. Money well spent!" — Asha Brown Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99 (available in two colors). 12. A dimmable LED car visor mirror because that little one built into the car's visor is a sad, sad excuse for a mirror, TBH. You'll have good lighting for makeup touchups, and it's big enough so you can actually see your full face (including if you need to zhuzh up your hair a lil'). Promising review: "Very large, very bright, but brightness is adjustable. You also have the choice of true white LED illumination or a softer incidence 'yellow'/natural light or you can run both simultaneously. Very large but would fit all sun visors. No magnification (that I am aware of), but its clarity makes you think it does. Battery is chargeable, but we have not needed to recharge it yet due to its long battery run time. It's inexpensive and needed for anyone who loves to 'finish getting ready in the car.'" — Chris Cook Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors and in a two pack). 13. A discreet seat gap filler to prevent your phone or sunglasses from falling into the deep, dark abyss known as the space between your seat and the center console. Amazon, Drop Stop is a small business that specializes in car accessories. Promising review:"Somehow, my phone manages to ALWAYS fall perfectly between the large gap between my console and seat. And MAN, when I'm driving it is so frustrating, because I can NEVER reach it without stopping the car, because it's wayyyy under my seat. Before I ordered this, I tried the traditional insert that is a popular solution because it gives you extra storage and such, but it didn't fit the gap, it was loose, sloppy, and would literally slide forward with the brakes. UGH, Those are now sitting on my bar, waiting to be gifted to some lucky person, hopefully with a smaller gap. I immediately ordered these and love love love them!" — Ronald & Shannon White Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99. 14. A "New Car Smell" air freshener and odor eliminator spray if you want to bring your car back to the glory days when it didn't smell like Starbucks egg bites and wet dog. One reviewer says this is the closest thing they've ever found to replicating that new-car smell! Promising review: "I've tried many of the trees, sprays, air vent dispensers, etc., from other companies, and I found some that I really like. However, this product from Chemical Guys is hands-down my favorite. It is the most faithful to that new-car smell that I've found, and it seems to last quite a while without being overpowering." — Anymouse Get a two pack from Amazon for $21.94 (available in different sizes and a "leather" scent). 15. An all-purpose car upholstery cleaner since the backseat of your car is an absolute horror from spilled snacks, muddy soccer shoes, and that mysterious sticky mess your kids left you. This works specifically for car interiors but can be used for carpets, leather, and vinyl, too! Plus, it even comes with a microfiber cloth! Promising review: "It smells great, and the easy spray bottle makes application a breeze. It works wonders on leather car seats and various surfaces, leaving everything clean and spotless with minimal effort. I love how versatile it is — it tackles dirt, grime, and stains effectively without harsh scrubbing. Perfect for quick cleanups or deep cleaning sessions." — Roselle Promising review:"Works great! I saw a video for this product on TikTok and knew that I needed it in my life. I love it, and it helps keep my new car looking clean and new!" — Alison Crawford Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 16. Plus, a spray-on interior cleaner and protectant to revive your dashboard, doors, and pretty much anywhere else that has gotten dusty and faded over time. Because as much as you care about how the exterior looks, the interior should be taken care of, too (I mean... you're sitting IN the car). Promising review:"This does exactly what I wanted — clean all the interior surfaces of my car while not leaving any residues, streaks, or strong odors. I first used this on my 4-month-old Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that was CAKED in dust (inside!) from a recent off-road adventure. The Total Interior Cleaner cleaned all my surfaces — dash, screen, leather seats, etc. After things settled, my car looked and smelled new again!" – T. Porter Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in three sizes and various bundles). 17. A compact emergency seatbelt cutter and window breaker, something that you hopefully will never have to use but will give you peace of mind just knowing you have it. In the case of an emergency, this will quickly cut through your seatbelt and smash your window. Amazon Note: Reviewers warn *not* to test it out on the window for fun because it does its job well, and it absolutely will break without much force required! It even works if your car is underwater! Promising review: "This is a great window breaker/seatbelt cutter combo. I love that they give you a small piece of safety glass to test the window breaker on. That gives me peace of mind that if I ever need to use it, it will do its job. I highly recommend buying these for everyone in your life." — Haley Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors). 18. A chic collapsible trunk organizer so all that stuff in the trunk of your car doing the Cha-Cha Slide can stop from sliding all over the place. This has pockets on the inside *and* the outside for ultra organization. Promising review:"Great organizer. Easy to collapse if I need to put it away. Storage pockets are well thought out and sturdy. Fun prints, too." — RDD Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 12 colors and three sizes). 19. A set of collapsible, reusable grocery bags with a sturdy bottom to ensure your groceries or whatever you decide to put in these stay upright and stay put. You've got precious cargo (like those absurdly overpriced eggs) in the car, so keep things safe from spilling all over the place! Promising review: "I got tired of a collection of ratty, cheap reusable bags that were collected from various grocery stores over the years. I replaced them all with these. Excellent purchase. They are larger, sturdier, and better made than any of the bags I have had in the past. They also look really nice. I will never go back to the sort of cheap reusable bags I had in the past." — David H. Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors). 20. A bottle of Invisible Glass windshield cleaner to rid your windows and windshield of all that dirt, grease, and grime without leaving any streaks on the glass. Now the only thing you need is a permanent ✨ sparkle ✨ to go with your car as you're cruising down the street. Promising review: "Okay, so I got this magical Invisible Glass cleaner for my car and home. First of all, it's invisible, so I'm not sure if I even sprayed anything. But wait, my windows are suddenly sparkling! I guess the 'deep cleaning foaming action' did its thing. It's ammonia-free, so no stinky smell, and it's safe for my car's tinted windows, which is great because I want to keep looking cool. Two bottles in one pack, so now I can clean my car and my house windows, too! Double the shine, double the fun!" — B Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.76 (also available in larger multipacks). 21. And a mega-absorbent "Shammy Towel" — you went through the hassle of washing your car, so you better finish it off with a towel that will dry it without leaving any scratches or streaks. Post-wash watermarks better watch out! Amazon Note: Shammy Towels should be stored slightly damp in their containers after use, or they'll dry out. Promising review:"I've tried my fair share of car cleaning products, but this has truly stood out in terms of performance and quality. If you're passionate about keeping your vehicle in pristine condition, this product is a must-have. Its unmatched absorption power, streak-free shine, and durability make it a top-tier choice for keeping your vehicle looking its best." — Jose Galeano Get a set of three from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in four color options). 22. A cleverly designed retractable window sunshade because you're tired of the sunshades where you twist, fold, and twist again, only to annoyingly throw it in your backseat. This attaches to the window and easily fans out and back in seconds! Check out a TikTok of the sunshade in action. Promising review:"I purchased this windshield cover for our RV; it holds the heat out and covers the window completely! Well worth the money, it's sturdy, and the suction cups hold up for long periods of time!" — Allison Get it from Amazon for $26.45. 23. A set of stick-on shades that make a big difference in how toasty it can get in your car. These can help prevent UV rays from heating the car and block some of that nasty midday sun that always seems to get in your eyes. Amazon Promising review:"These shades work great. With a freshly cleaned window, they stick to the glass quickly, even in Arizona. They fold up easily and stay on indefinitely." — Brad Get a pack of four Amazon for $11.39 (also available in a pack of two). 24. An UnbuckleMe car seat release tool for when your fingers suddenly aren't strong enough to unbuckle your grumpy little one who just wants to get out of their seat. It will surely become a staple product that you'll want to attach to your key chain (so you'll always have it on hand and so your kid can't accidentally get a hold of it in the car). Amazon UnbuckleMe is a family-owned small business that specializes in car seat accessories. It's also helpful for older kids to unbuckle themselves at the end of car rides! Promising review: "I purchased this because I always struggle to unbuckle my sons from their car seats if I have nails. This has allowed me to have my nails done and still be able to do their buckles. I have two. One for the car and one for the diaper bag. It's so worth it." — VASILIY YEFIMOV Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four color combos). 25. A car tissue holder, which clips onto your sun visor so you don't have to pull over to take both hands off the wheel and rummage through your bag for those little tissues that you then ALSO have to open up. Or, you can use this for all those Chipotle napkins you've been hoarding in your car. Amazon Promising review: "I bought this to keep my car more organized. It looks great on my visor, doesn't block my view, and is simple. It also allows me to be safe while driving. No more looking for a napkin around my car to blow my nose. I can keep my eyes on the road." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in four colors). 26. A chic magnetic eyeglass and sunglasses hanger so you can have easy access to your glasses when the sun decides to do its, you know, shining thing or whatever. Plus, you'll be able to put your glasses on STAT versus rummaging around your bag to find them. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the sunglasses holder in action. Promising review: "Should have bought one sooner. My car doesn't have a sunglasses compartment, and this thing works perfectly. Excellent value and well constructed!" — ManWithThePlan Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors and multipacks). 27. A clip-on vent pouch to add to the vent right next to your steering wheel. You'll want to keep all of your must-haves in here, like your lip balm, extra hair ties, gum, and hand sanitizer. Amazon High Road is a small business that specializes in travel and car organization products. Promising review: "My car console does not have a handy place for my phone, my reading glasses and sunglasses, my small bottle of hand sanitizer, and my lip balm. These are the things I seem to constantly need within reach when I am in my car. This pocket holds them all. It is roomy, sturdy, and easy to attach to a vent, yet it does not get in the way of my gear shift because it can slide back and forth on the vent if you want it to. I am really pleased with this purchase." — VWB Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors). 28. Or a "car side pocket" that'll be the perfect designated spot for your phone or other important things that you might need on hand, like lip balm or a pen. Amazon Promising review: " I needed something to hold devices on the side of the center console. This fit perfectly and the Velcro back attached perfectly to the felt side of the center console. Bought a second one for the other side." — Juan C. Hernandez Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors). 29. A car seat organizer if you're spending time with the kiddos in the car and want to keep the "Are we there yet" and "I'm bored" phrases at bay. This has pockets for drinks, snacks, and even a tablet so your little one can be occupied *and* organized! Amazon Promising review: 'Purchased this for a road trip, and it has been amazing. I actually use it for my rear-facing infant, so it is on the front side of the back seat. I am able to put the iPad in the case for movies, and it holds toys, snacks, bottles, and squeezes. And it helps to protect the seat from her shoe prints. Love it and so glad we purchased." — Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 30. A backseat car video monitor that parents especially love because it's easy to install and ensures that they have eyes on their precious cargo in the back seat. Note: You should only ever look at the camera when the car isn't in motion! Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and knew I wanted to try it. I LOOOOOVE this product! I hate trying to use my rearview mirror to look into her mirror to make sure she's okay. The quality of the video is great for the price, and I can easily see if my infant has spit up, or I can see her mouth to shove a paci in if needed. I can see details like if her eyes are open or closed. The night vision isn't too bad but not as detailed, but you can see enough. But overall, for the price, I would buy this product again hands-down." — Michael Giblin Get it from Amazon for $26.99. 31. A set of pastel cloud air vent clips to add a little pizazz and personality to the car that you did give a full-on name after all. These little things are super adorable and still let the AC flow with no problem! Happy2be2gether/Etsy Happy2be2gether is a US-based Etsy shop that specializes in unique car air vent clips. Promising review:"I love these little clouds! They are such a fun detail to add to your car :)" — Gabi Get it from Happy2be2gether on Etsy for $6.99+ (available in five colors). 32. A pink cowboy hat disco ball car accessory so you can giddy on up and get your drive started on the right foot since these will look so cute around your rearview mirror. Miami Design District/Etsy Psst — these also make great ornaments during the holidays! Miami Design District is a Florida-based Etsy shop that specializes in handmade car accessories. Promising review:"Legit the cutest thing I have ever bought. Looks just like the pic, and the packaging was adorable! Legit in love." — Avery Forbes Get it from Miami Design District on Etsy for $7.49 (originally $14.99). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

A Candle Shaped Like A Salami, Whipped Cream Sunscreen, And 31 Other Fun Products For Whimsy Worshippers

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · These praise-worthy items have mastered the art of silliness and deserve your reverence. 1. A pack of bologna sticky notes because it's way harder to ignore reminders when they're written on deli meat. Now, you just need sticky notes shaped like lettuce, tomato, and bread for the perfect productive sandwich. Amazon Each pad comes with 155 pages. Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 2. A diffuser shaped like a cute animal enjoying a nice soak. How relaxing! This passive, non-electronic diffuser is made of ceramic, so it absorbs fragrance and releases it over time. Amazon Promising review: "It's the perfect size for personal there are sensitive noses in my office, this is great for my desk. Love that I can diffuse oils for my personal consumption." — Patricia Ornellas Get it from Amazon for $15.75 (available in three animals). 3. A Sanrio mug featuring all the classic cuties from Hello Kitty to Cinamoroll. Mornings are way better when Pochacco is present. Amazon Small victory for left-handed people: The handle for some of these mugs is on the right, meaning you can hold it in your left hand and still show off the character. Promising review: "I am a Hello Kitty collector, and this is what I've been chasing for a while. So glad I got my hands on this beauty. 🥰 Feels very resistant, and it's very cute. Just perfect. 👍🏼" — Patty Lv Get it from Amazon for $19.25+ (available in 23 styles). 4. A jelly-style coaster that hilariously looks like Kirby is in the process of swallowing your glass. What powers will he get? Hopefully the ability to keep your coffee table safe. Studio Royarach is a small business based in California. Get it from Studio Royarach on Etsy for $18. 5. A book of judgy fish stickers in case you need even more side eye in your life. The book comes with over 60 stickers, including two puffy ones. 6. A straw cover shaped like a flower, dachshund, cowboy hat, or butterfly that will keep your drink safe from outdoor ickiness *and* look really cute doing it. Promising review for the flowers:"I worked in healthcare. We were allowed to drink water if it was covered. My Hydroflask has a lid with a straw, but the problem was when someone had to reach for a chart, file, or folder, their sleeve brushed over my straw. YUCK! I bought these straw covers so I can drink from my 'clean' straw every time I needed a drink. They work great and look so cute. Everybody loves them!" — LINDY Promising review for the butterflies:"I absolutely love this product. I got it for my mom and she loves it as well. This seller has AMAZING customer service — she's sooo sweeeeet." — Dezzy Get the pack of four flowers from Amazon for $4.77+ (available in seven colors), the dog from A Shop of Things for $8, the pack of four cowboy hats from Amazon for $6.99, the butterfly from Twinkle Life Studio on Etsy for $5.66+ (originally $7.55; available in 12 cap colors, eight butterfly colors, and any initial). 7. Or a little charm bracelet for your tumbler handle, because why not? Might as well accessorize every inch of your life. The chain is adjustable and can be hung on anything small, from a reading lamp neck to a bag strap. Amazon Promising review: "This cute little charm is a must! I was trying to find a way to differentiate my Stanley — the perfect way to do it! It's small enough to not draw too much attention and minimalistic for those who don't want to go all out. Cute little accessory with easy clip to add or subtract from tumblers." — Lily Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in 19 letters). 8. A mini claw machine that won't eat all your quarters in one go. While this isn't a good fit for young children (choking hazard), some adults use it as an elaborate pill holder. Amazon 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 $9.99+ (available in two colors). 9. A "Bling Thing" calculator with rhinestone buttons offering a new definition for "girl math." Sure, your phone has a calculator. But is it this cute? Amazon Promising review:"This calculator is so cute. I get comments and laughs each time I use it. Think Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. It's that type of cute. I love it. Would definitely buy again to give as a gift. Also the display is good size so it's very easy to read. I wish that had different colors, but this is still super cute." — Karen Johnson Get it from Amazon for $14.70. 10. A burger bicycle bell for biking in the neighborhood or making late-night trips to McDonald's. Every bike needs a bell and every bell should be a burger, IMO. Promising review:"No, I didn't buy this for a kid. I bought it for my old self. And yes!! I absolutely love it! The housing is plastic but surprisingly sturdy. The bell sounds like a bike bell should, and hey, it's a burger — a favorite of mine after a long ride." — kim Get it from Amazon for $13.06. 11. A fruit or veggie phone grip to freshen up the look of your phone and make it easier to hold. You'll suddenly be taking a lot more mirror selfies to show off your new accessory. Island Depot / Etsy Island Depot is a small business based in Colorado that sells photorealistic phone grips. Devastatingly, the pictured mangosteen and cantaloupe grips are not available, but you can grab the rest, plus kale, pumpkin, lemon, green pepper, or red onion.

Amazon Promising review:"I've had these throw pillows on my wishlist for over a year. I just couldn't bring myself to purchase a near-$40 throw pillow, but I was so in love with them. Finally, I decided for my birthday, I was going to redo my bedroom and splurge a little. As soon as I received them, I threw them in the washer together, and they held up just fine in the washer/dryer. I was surprised by the size because some reviews said they were small? I think they're perfect. Not too small, but not too big. Average throw pillow size, if not a smidge bigger, in my opinion. Even more surprised by how soft they are. I thought with the design they'd be stiff and something solely used for decoration, but I've actually taken several naps using these, and they're super soft." — Anthony D.

I have never seen a puzzle quite like this! It's very impressive and exceeded my expectations already. The packaging is beautiful inside and out. Everything about it shouts quality. I particularly liked the envelopes inside for the puzzle pieces and mystery. Heavy weight and substantial. The one holding the 1,000 puzzle pieces stays closed with Velcro! How cool! And the secret mystery envelope has a cool string loop tie. Makes you remember you can't open it until the puzzle is done. The whole vibe of The Mystic Maze is quality and fun, and also looks like a challenging puzzle. Looking forward to getting started on this. Certainly a good stay-home fun activity. Highly recommend!" — Kyle Fletcher
