A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," another release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars.

Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged).

E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake.

This is the perfect alternative to pricey paint jobs and replacing cookware! Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a reviewer-beloved, TikTok-famous beauty prod that lives up to the hype — this is infused with biotin so it doesn't just strengthen hair, but helps encourage growth. Reviewers who use this consistently swear by it for thinning hairlines, sparse hair at their part, bald patches, and even their eyebrows! Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder so effective that reviewers gleefully compare it to the $68 Dermalogica version. This gentle, foaming powder is formulated with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts, and should be used three to four times weekly to help gently break down dead skin cells for a brighter, more refreshed flow. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that they can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if they do it in order, they get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book).

A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion to give you a gradually-building, vacation-worthy ~sunkissed glow~ over the course of just a few days.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for anyone who has had their fill of acne stickers and wants a more effective solution for overnight zit care. Just dab a constellation of this over your blemishes to help dry them out and reduce redness while you snooze. This gets extra points for being sensitive skin-friendly and easy to use! A jewelry-cleaning stick with cleansing solution on a brush designed specifically to get in the nooks and crannies of your jewelry, so you can dig out all the grime that's accumulated over the years on the cheap instead of taking it to the jeweler. A wildly popular floral print sheer cover up for the perfect finishing touch to all your spring and summer outfits that won't make you swelter in the heat. Reviewers especially love how easily this packs (and photographs!!) for travel. A USB-rechargeable portable water flosser that gets the job done just as effectively without having to lug a planet-size device in your bag. A lot of reviewers love the small profile of this gizmo so much they use it as an everyday one at home, too! Sprayway Glass Cleaner, a reviewer-beloved cleaning staple that did *not* come here to play. This streak-free, fast-acting foam is so effective at cleaning surfaces that a lot of businesses and offices swear by it for that oh-so-squeaky-clean look. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. A set of darling reusable Swedish dishcloths that can be washed up to 50 times in the dishwasher, and are designed to replace 17 (!!) rolls of paper towels each.

A Bentgo stackable lunch container perfect for commuters who want to get back in the groove of bringing cheaper lunches from home again — this right here is a perfect leakproof, sturdy option for your mobile salad/charcuterie/"girl dinner" situations. It's also nice and deep for mixing salads, has an upper compartment to keep your other ingredients separate, *and* a container for dressing. A set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep. Reviewers especially love these because they're an affordable alternative to ones that typically run $18 per case! Biodance's TikTok-beloved Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask for an overnight ~refresh~ to help firm skin, boost elasticity, and minimize pores. Reviewers mention noticing a visible difference even after one use! You are about to become the definition of "I woke up like this." ✨ Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs.

A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~! I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs with other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry. Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite.

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 6. A TikTok-famous "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars.

Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $6.10+ (available in two styles). 7. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that they can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if they do it in order, they get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book).

Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" — Liz Gately Get it from Amazon for $8.71. 8. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes. Amazon I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart. Get it from Amazon for $18.75 (also available in pink honey!). 9. "Pocket World," an adult stress relief coloring book full of whimsical miniature Polly Pocket-esque worlds to color, with no two alike. I'm talking fairy gardens, tiny hygge-style living rooms, quirky restaurants, and more. Psst — Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront! Check out a TikTok of Coco Wyo coloring books in action. Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set. Promising review:"One of my favorites ever!!! The idea is perfect, and the pages are all unique and fun to color, with no repetition, and the details aren't too tiny. Great for anxiety if you're doing coloring for mental health. (I hate the pages that are just tiny patterns repeated endlessly. Makes my anxiety worse.)" — Ezra Johnson Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 10. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes.

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 11. Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, which is basically what happens when teriyaki sauce and barbecue sauce have an absurdly delicious baby. Reviewers are obsessed with putting this umami + savory + sweet sauce on just about everything they can. Check out a TikTok of Bachan's Japanese barbecue sauce in action. Bachan's is a small business that specializes in Japanese barbecue sauces. Promising review: "Worth the hype. This is absolutely delicious and full of umami. It's so tasty on stir fry with rice and makes it taste more like hibachi. I warmed up leftover restaurant brisket in a skillet and tossed a little of this on it at the end and let it caramelize, and it was outrageously good. The flavor is hard to describe. It's savory and salty like the sauce that comes with Chinese dumplings, but not quite that. And there are notes of barbecue sauce, but not heavy or overly sweet." — John Flora Here's what BuzzFeed Contributor Jonathan Mazzei has to say about it: "I love this sauce! It's the perfect mix of savory, sweet, and spicy, and I've found that it works beautifully whether you're cooking with it or just using it as a last minute topping or dipping sauce." Get a set of two (Original + Miso from Amazon for $23.98 (available in five flavors and several combo packs). 12. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Promising review:"Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" — Briana R. "I love my new sanitizers. I had no clue they even existed until TikTok. I will definitely be ordering again." — Debra Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). 13. A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel so you can feel like an enchanted forest nymph while you funnel your coffee, wine, baking ingredients, or mystical potions. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the magic mushroom funnel in action. Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It's beyond cute and really great quality. I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" — Abbey Klem Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in two sizes). 14. A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck so you can light all your coziest, deepest candles without worrying about the "YIKES" of being near an open flame. This is also windproof and super portable for anyone looking for options to light candles or fires outside, too! Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. Now I'm able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it's hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I've only had to charge it once since I purchased it. I Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." — Cassandra S. "Another product I got from TikTok. It's a necessity. No more struggling and almost burning yourself. Stays charged for days. A week at most if you use it frequently." — Nijada Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in five colors and in two packs). 15. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." — Brent Helm Get it from Amazon for $7.70. 16. A set of pastel glitter highlighters I saw on Instagram recently and NEARLY BLACKED OUT from the cuteness. If you like highlighting your planner pages, favorite passages from books, or lines from your journal, please do yourself a favor and purchase these subtle but oh-so-sparkly colors to jazz them up ✨. 17. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 18. A shaker of Thin Mint seasoning you need to buy as a favor to all your taste buds immediately. Allow me to paint a picture for you: Thin Mint coffee, Thin Mint pudding, Thin Mint popcorn, Thin Mint anything your dessert gremlin heart desires. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Check out a TikTok of the Thin Mint Seasoning in action. I stared at this for months online before caving and buying it, and when I tell you!! It jazzes up my morning coffee in a way that makes my little '90s baby heart sing. I've also loved it on Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and mug cakes. Plus, when I am feeling lonely for a real Thin Mint, and we're not in Girl Scout cookie season, I'll shake this on an Oreo Thin to stave off the despair. Get it from Amazon for $9.28 (and try their s'mores seasoning blend, too!). 19. A Dazzle Dry mini kit for nails that not only dry HARD in five minutes like a gel manicure, but last as long as one. If you are a busy or impatient human, or just plain sick of siphoning money into gel manicures, I BEG YOU to switch over to this. It is by far the best thing I have ever done for the health of my nails and to save myself nail-related stress and time. Dazzle Dry is a small business that specializes in nail care products. Check out a TikTok of the Dazzle Dry system in action. See that pic of the pink-nailed hand up there?? Those are my DAY SEVEN DAZZLE DRY NAILS (after just getting back from a wildly busy trip across the country, which I did a TON of apartment cleaning to prep for!). I have been using the Dazzle Dry system in salons for years now because it is the only way to get your money's worth, even if with the salon's upcharge. My nails are SO much healthier and longer now that I've quit gels completely, and this polish is so good that it often doesn't chip for 10–14 day s (and even then it's just the smallest chips). Plus I cannot shout enough about how much I love just bouncing from the salon or my couch with my nails so dry that I never have to think about them after I get them done. Get it from Amazon for $39 (available as a kit in dozens of colors; you can shop for colors individually at the Dazzle Dry storefront here). 20. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, your new favorite alternative to Dior's (discontinued!!) Airflash that lives up to the hype — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT. Promising review: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." — Smickens Get it from Amazon for $13.15 (available in 12 shades). 21. Kitsch's Zig Zag Headbands, an iconic callback to the '90s style with a chic modern update. This is designed to work for all hair types, letting you add some volume and cheeky playfulness to the rest of your look. Reviewers especially love that these don't give them headaches like other headbands! Promising review: "If you don't have this headband you need it! I haven't stopped wearing it since I bought it! I've had so many people compliment it and order one because of how simple but cute it is! I have a medium thickness of hair and It holds my hair out of my face, the quality is great and it stays put all day. Wouldn't use for working out but great for everyday wear!" — Morgan "Saw these on TikTok and knew they were worth buying. I was right love them!!!" — Debbie Ladnier Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors). 22. A set of vinyl coasters to give your coffee table a delightfully retro nostalgic touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation. Amazon 23. Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action. (Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE, some of you are WILD.) Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you're someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I'm quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y'all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I'm happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." — nancy Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $10.99. 24. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. I've had one of these for awhile, and I love it! I usually use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular. Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard. Those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — Amy N. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99. 25. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that rivals the $$ prescription versions — thousands of reviewers swear by for helping restore their hair and promote healthy hair growth over time. It also includes nourishing ingredients like rosemary oil, zinc, and coconut oil to help moisturize locks and give them a fuller, more volumized look. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. Promising review:"I've had fine, thin hair my whole life, but I used to have a lot more of it. My hair has been thinning and falling out a lot. There is a prescription shampoo that is over $100, and it used to be the only thing that worked. I thought I'd give this a shot before placing another order with the pharmacy, and so far, it seems to have a similar effect, plumping and strengthening the existing strands while addressing the problems with new growth. The new fuzzies are visible again at the hairline, always a good sign." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $13.95. Psst — reviewers mention this is most effective when paired with a scalp massager to work it into their roots! 26. A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align ... but WAY cheaper. If you're looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these. Amazon I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that for some reason I am always comfier in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear a legging, and I'm happy to report after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too. Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson "Saw on TikTok then found on Amazon!!!! Told all my coworkers!!!! 💙 Super soft, amazing fit." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $29 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 21 styles). 28. A light-up flying orb that's basically like if an alien made a boomerang and then dropped it on Earth — it's designed to ricochet back when you throw it, so you'll feel like you're bending space and time from your own living room. Gravity WHOMST???? Promising review:"Santa left this under the tree for my 9-year-old son, and he LOVES it! So easy to use and takes only a few tries to figure out the boomerang effect! So fun, my parents, his grandparents joined in and we had a blast with it! If you are thinking about purchasing this, DO IT!! And the charge life is not bad either. Lasts long enough to give you breaks!!" — Kerri "When my son received this, he was excited! I saw this on TikTok and surprised him with it! Was not disappointed with the quality and how it worked! Will definitely purchase again!!" — Jindee Get it from Amazon for $25.60 (available in seven colors). 29. A rotating disco ball diffuser because sometimes "come on Barbie let's go party" secretly means "come on Barbie let's diffuse some citrus essential oils and try to shake off that afternoon nap." This lil' bub will give you the best of both worlds. Check out a TikTok of the disco ball in action, make sure to grab them some essential oils for the full experience! Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Promising reviews:"I absolutely LOVE my disco ball diffuser! It brings me joy. The diffuser works great and has timed options. You can use the disco ball without diffusing too. Lots of pretty color-changing options or you can have it cycle through all of the colors which is what I choose to do. There are two spinning modes too…slow and fast or you can set it to not spin at all. Get one. You WON'T be disappointed!! 🪩🫶🏼😍" — Heather Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in two sizes).

Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Promising review: "Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing.

It picks up calls just as well as any other pair, and is designed so the sound isn't audible to anyone else! Purity is a small business that specializes in tech products and accessories. Promising review:"I've tried soooo many different types of earbuds over the years with no success. But these Purity open-air headphones are the first pair I've ever tried that actually fit well, don't hurt, and sound great! So, after many years of trying, I've FINALLY found the right ones for my ears!! Woohoo! They are comfortable, lightweight, have great sound clarity, are easy to operate, have great battery life, and people can hear me clearly when I talk on the phone with them.

Wititude's 2025 Day-to-Day Calendar with the theme of "Revenge Is Beneath Me, But Accidents Happen" — the art on these may be retro in style, but their sarcastic, delightfully blunt messages are timeless. Amazon Promising review: "Utterly in love with the 2024 edition, so I had to buy next year's. I so need these laugh-a-day pages!" — Karen P. Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 4. A snap-on pasta strainer to free your pasta from its hot juices straight from the pot, and spare you storage space to boot (is it just me, or are colanders always in the business of being exactly in the way of whatever it is you need?). Psst — these are also a game-changer for washing your fruit, too! Amazon Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories. Promising review:"I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." — Viola Evens Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors). 5. A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick for some sweet, sweet relief when you wake up with puffy, aching eyes. This formula is blended with Iceland glacial water to help tighten skin and tackle dark circles so you look and feel more ~refreshed~. Promising review:"I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." — Ben Get it from Amazon for $9.89 (available in two styles and multipacks). 6. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.

Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action. (Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE, some of you are WILD.)

If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I'm happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." — nancy Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $10.99. 8. An itty bitty flat water bottle, because sometimes you aren't Big Thirsty, but still Little Thirsty, and you shouldn't have to lug a whole ginormous tumbler to take care of it. This cheeky little insulated option is designed to tuck easily into purses, tote bags, and backpacks without taking up nearly as much space. Promising review: "This is my new favorite water bottle. It looks nice, holds 10 to 12 ounces, seals well (no leaks), and is sized such that I can slip it into my back pants pocket (most of the time, if they are somewhat roomy) or in a large coat or vest pocket. I take regular one to two mile hikes, and was sick of carrying around water bottles holding twice as much water as I drink. This works perfectly, no excess weight and easy to pocket. I will also use backpacking for an easy access water bottle." — CRIU Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors and in a larger size). 9. A "Pizza Pack," aka a pizza storage container so handy you'll wish you bought one MOONS ago. Instead of wasting foil or trying to shove a pizza box into the fridge, you can use this collapsible container to stack up to five leftover slices on top of each other — it's even designed so the slices won't stick, *plus* it's totally microwaveable, so you can reheat all the slices at once without moving them. Pizza Pack is a small business that specializes in sustainable food storage solutions. Promising review:"It's always a pain to put away leftover pizza. It never seems to work. UNTIL THIS PRODUCT!!! I am very happy with my purchase. It's easy to keep the pieces separate from others and you don't have a large bulky box letting your crust dry out. You can use it for one piece or several — it is very easy to expand. The best part is that it is very easy to clean. Storing the Pizza Pack when not in use doesn't take up a lot of space either. Try it." — B. Cirincione Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in eight colors). 10. A guided visual sloth "breathing partner" you can use for meditation and calm to shift your mindset. This is designed to guide you through either the popular 4/7/8 or 5/5 "calming breaths" to help reduce stress and anxiety, using colors that fade in and out softly as cues. Bonus: it's kid-friendly! Mindsight is a small business that specializes in calming personal care and decor products. Promising review (for the original style):"I started meditating over a decade ago. Intermittent in the beginning, progressing deeper, and finding new joys over time. With Breathing Buddha, the last thoughts have dropped away as counting breath always seemed to keep me conscious of, well, counting. Granted, I have always dropped the counting after a handful of breaths, but Breathing Buddha has made for a delightful transition as I realize it doesn't have to count at all. It is a lovely concept, well executed, and very easy to start using." — Lynn Get it from Amazon for $23.95 (available in five other styles). 11. Moodmatcher's ~green~ color-changing lipstick, an affordable WinkyLux alternative that not only adapts to the pH of your skin to create a personalized, perfect shade for your skin tone, but lasts for HOURS. Reviewers marvel at its all-day staying power even after meals and breaking a sweat. Look at that lil' green lipstick go!! Amazon Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick. Promising review:"This color is beautiful, and shows up differently on everyone. This thing that I like most about this product, is that it stays on all day even through eating multiple meals. I have to use a microfiber cloth to remove it at night!" — Rasheda Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (available in eight shades). 12. A PopLite personal popcorn maker with a built-in serving bowl that will give you eight cups of movie theater-quality popcorn in two mere mortal minutes. Reviewers especially love that the popcorn doesn't burn, and the machine doesn't leave unpopped kernels like the usual microwave brands. Check out a TikTok of the popcorn maker in action. Promising review: " This little popcorn popper is perfect! No fuss, no mess, no chasing popcorn kernels!! Fabulous! Easy to use — the popcorn maker part fits into the bowl part for easy storage. This is one perfect unit!" — Chrystal Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 13. A Stealth core trainer that turns exercising into a *game* so you can trick your body into working out by occupying your brain with the business of "stealth speed gliding" and "galaxy adventure," which are just two of the catchy games in this system that help work your core. Amazon Stealth Fitness is a small business that specializes in unique at-home fitness equipment. Here's what BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower says about this gizmo:"Getting a Stealth board was the very best thing that has happened to me during quarantine. Mixing the fun of games on your phone with the natural endorphins you get from exercising is, to put it lightly, genius. I have two in my home, and my husband and I compete daily to see who can last the longest. My favorite game is the paragliding challenge; he's into the planet-blasting space adventure. Nerd." Promising review:"Fantastic purchase to solve the boring plank exercises after a year of doing them. This has a quick, easy, simple hit-it-and-forget-it daily with a game, three-minute max, and great results. Much improved core strength, reduce lower back pain, and a high five from my doctor. Highly recommend this for those in need of core buildup and help to manage the time to fit this into a daily schedule." — James Corey Get it from Amazon for $129+ (available in three styles). 14. A phone umbrella you can suction to the back for *instant* shade when you're trying to reduce sun glare outdoors (or text in the rain 🫠). Reviewers especially love this for their Kindles when they're trying to read at the beach or the pool. The "handle" of the umbrella even doubles as a phone stand to prop it up on long flights! Check out a TikTok of the phone umbrella in action. Promising review:"I got this little umbrella because I'm always outside for work, and the sun shines bright. I always have to put information in my phone for work and sometimes I can't step to the shade to do so. The sun protection is good, and the performance and size is perfect for my phone. I've had people ask where I got it because they also need one." — Garza Jboss Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 17 styles). 15. A set of "wine wands" to remove sulfates and histamines from your beloved cheap Pinots in as little as three minutes, basically making "not getting a hangover" your new superpower. 16. A lil' flat cat heating pad you can cook up in the microwave for some much needed relief from cramps or just the chill in the air. Amazon, Promising review: "This was so much better than I anticipated. The quality is really nice and there is a removable cover that you can remove and was h. It is soft and comfortable and comes in the cutest little box. So cute and functional. Heat is a humid heat but not too intense right out of the microwave." — brittany Get it from Amazon for $15.04+ (available three sizes and in other styles). 17. A reusable silicone cactus dryer ball that pet owners especially love because it catches hair like nobody's business. These lil' desert bubs also help soften fabric, reduce wrinkles, *and* save drying time, so they're putting all the decorative but useless succulents in your home to shame. Check out a TikTok of the cactus dryer ball. Promising review: "This is my first time using these, and I'm already in love! I saw someone say these can catch hair but I didn't know if these would really catch hair until I used them. They even captured cat hair, which is life-changing for me! 😄😻" — E & D Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four styles). 18. A " Grievance Journal," or rather a "burn book for the discerning misanthrope" — a darkly funny, satisfying, and cathartic journal with 52 prompts so you can purge yourself of the ~~darkness~~ of your daily irritations and inconveniences without alarming all your friends and neighbors. (Well, any more than you already do 😈.) Amazon Promising review: "Bought this intending to gift it to a friend but ended up getting really into the prompts and decided to keep it for myself. WOW, what an awesome way to vent and articulate the negativity you're feeling by actually forcing yourself to form coherent thoughts around your emotions. Cheaper and more effective than therapy, buying several more for friends and fam." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 19. And The 369 Method Manifestation Journal, which you may find helpful not just for setting plans to achieve your goals, but to better help define them for yourself. The journal explains the "Law Of Attraction" method for manifesting, and gives you 12 weeks of space to help make your goals a reality, with lines to write your manifestations three times in the morning, six in the afternoon, and nine at night. Amazon Promising review:"This book is exactly what I needed to start my journey to a better life in 2024. This journal helped me write down my goals and mentally practice a positive outlook.

I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It's beyond cute and really great quality. I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" — Abbey Klem Get it from Amazon for $14.95. 21. A trio lasagna pan designed so people with different lasagna preferences can customize their own versions without cross-contamination (sometimes you just gotta drown the whole thing in cheese, you dig me?). Also, with this gizmo, every piece is an edge piece 😋. FYI, you can 6,000% use these for brownies, blondies, and bread too. Promising review: "As someone who has a child (now a teenager) who will not eat any form of cheese, this pan is amazing! I typically avoid making any food that has cheese mixed into it but now I can make him a section without cheese and the rest of us our regular cheesy goodness. Another benefit to this pan is how well the portions slice. One cut with the spatula gives you a perfectly formed square. Each section makes four regular-sized portions for our family." — TLC Get it from Amazon for $19.49. 22. A deeply adorable retro-style portable Bluetooth keyboard you can connect to your tablet, phone, or computer to easily type on the go. Reviewers especially love the satisfying ~clickety clack~ feel of the keys! Promising review: "I got this keyboard because of its aesthetic. The look did not disappoint. Love it! Super easy to connect to my iPhone and iPad. It makes my typing and note creating on my phone quicker and cuter. I will purchase another for an upcoming friend's birthday. I know she'll love it as well!" — NT Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in nine colors). 23.

This not only has unique, sophisticated flair, but comes with adjustable brightness so you can curate the room's mood. Amazon Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting. Promising review: "The light is nice! It's a unique-looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I'd definitely recommend it to others." — Carmelita Joy Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (remember to clip the 10% off coupon on the product page!; available in four colors). 24. A pickling starter kit complete with everything you need to start fermenting small batches of INFINITE delicious things, from the traditional cucumbers and onions to yummy sauerkraut and kimchi to adventurous watermelon and mango 😋 . (If you've never had pickled mango before ... THANK ME LATER.) Amazon Fermentaholics is a small business that specializes in pickling and kombucha starter kits. Promising review: "This kit is great for first timers or experienced, and makes DELICIOUS pickles, or pickled anything for that matter. Pickles, carrots, onions, asparagus. The instructions are easy to follow and understand. Will be buying as gifts for my pickle loving friends and more for myself. Makes me want to try the other products this company offers." — KelF Get it from Amazon for $16.49. 25. A set of transparent sticky notes reviewers love not just for the aesthetic, but because it makes it easier to leave notes in books and study guides without interrupting the ~flow~ of the text. Amazon Promising review:"For someone who is a big note-taker, these are perfect. Durable, easy, and not to mention aesthetically pleasing! Definitely will be purchasing more!" — penny Get a pack of 50 sheets from Amazon for $5.99 (available in seven colors). 26. A dual beverage Stanley cup separator so you can have TWO beverages in ONE GIANT CUP. It's a free-for-all of bevvy combos. Apple cider + seltzer, iced tea + lemonade, High Noon plus — you know what, I'll let you choose that journey for yourself 😉.

It fits in snugly and comes with two straws. Works well with my 40-ounce Stanley!" — Dana Daily Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four styles). 27. A pillow-shaking alarm clock that uses a "shaker" mode to gently vibrate under your pillow to wake you up — perfect for someone who doesn't respond as well to noise, or doesn't like how jarring it is to wake to an alarm. THAT SAID, this also features an option for an alarm so loud that they call it a "sonic bomb," so you can use that as extra wake-up insurance if you need it! Sonic Alert is a small business that specializes in alarm clocks. Promising review: "This alarm is amazing. The pillow shaker does its job to perfection. The shaker shakes the pillow just right so you don't wake up startled. The loud alarm is loud enough. I wear a hearing aid to hear everything, and the loud alarm is loud enough that I can hear it without my hearing aid. Must have for someone with hearing issues so you wake up on time every time." — Scott D. Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in six colors). 28. A platypus jar-scraping spatula so you can get every!! last!! MORSEL!!! of your peanut butters, Nutellas, and mayos, just as international super spy and legendary hero Perry the Platypus would have wanted. Promising review:"I have had this spatula since 2022. I reach for this one consistently above all of my other spatulas, and also use this instead of a butter knife for spreading. I absolutely love this tool. I have arthritis in one hand from a surgery, and the shape of the platypus also helps with that. It cleans off very easily, and still looks brand-new." — Thomas Norton Get it from Amazon for $11.04. 29. A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder for an absurdly cute storage option for keys that will prettttyyy much guarantee you never lose them again. Promising review:"So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far, I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys, and so far, it's holding strong. I hung it with command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." — D. Carter Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 30. " Ever Toast," a wildly clever plate for toast and grilled sandwiches that keeps your meal elevated so it doesn't get all soggy on the bottom. Now you can take your time eating your toasted grub and nget that oh-so-satisfying CROOONNNCHHH in every bite. Ever Toast is a small business that specializes in unique dinner plates.

You can even attach this to a wall or the fridge if you're feeling it. Check out a TikTok of the pill dispenser in action. Promising review:"So I am horrible about remembering if I took my pills. And I HATE digging into the old pill boxes or doing the tip over. I don't know what it is, but i have always disliked it. I hung this on my wall right by the kitchen so I pass it like 5,000 times a day and I can't not see it. It is so fun pushing the little orange button to watch the meds fall out. I mean it kind of feels like a really weird game of Wheel of Fortune, but I like it." — Grofica Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). 32. A"Hell Done" digital thermometer so you can keep track of your meats to know if they're rare, medium, well-done, or positively ~sinful~. This features a clear and easy-to-read digital display, plus the ability to tell people you literally went to hell and back to cook this meal!!! Promising review: "This thermometer not only works perfectly, but is a great conversation starter at gatherings! I've used it a few times now and am completely satisfied with the purchase. It is accurate, and the display is super easy to read. If you buy this, make sure to read the back of the box ;)." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.95. 33. A cheerful fruit bowl for a pop of deeply functional color in your kitchen — this thing is secretly also a colander, so you can wash your fruit and leave 'em sitting pretty on the counter to dry. Amazon Promising review: "I LOVE the look of this fruit bowl. I also love that its pedestal minimizes the space it takes up on the counter. I wasn't sure about whether I would like that it is plastic but now consider it a big plus. It keeps the bowl lightweight (but it is still sturdy) and makes it easy to clean. I highly recommend this fruit bowl. I couldn't be more pleased with mine." — Opinion o'Jen Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in four colors). 34. A unique colorblock water bottle that is just an adorable little CHONK of a thing, and also super practical. It's designed to keep liquid cold for up to 36 hours and hot for for up to 24, comes with a nifty handle for easy carrying, and has a silicone bottom to avoid that noisy clanking sound when you put it down. Amazon Promising review: "Finally replaced my emotional support water bottle!!!! I love the colors, the handle is easy to hold, and my drinks stay cold!!! I t's been hard finding an ergonomic water bottle, the small handles or lack there of can be really hard on my hands. I'm so happy with it I almost don't want to sticker it. (Almost.) 💛" — Sarina Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in eight styles). 35. A bottle of truffle seasoning for an instant upgrade on homemade meals that honestly has become one of my only personality traits, to the point where I'm just like, begging you to try it. I should gatekeep this stuff so I can have it all to myself but it is such a delicious and satisfying and ridiculously affordable alternative to real truffles that I'm throwing the gates WIDE OPEN. *wheezes in truffle* Okay, I bought this on a whim because there's a sushi place down the street from me that makes truffle avocado sushi rolls, and I was like, I need these in my life, but I also need money to live. I decided to DIY it with a regular $4 avocado roll, and this seasoning and the umami bliss of it all basically exploded my brain. Since then, I've tried it on eggs, burritos, potatoes, chocolate mug cakes, and pretty much every sweet and savory thing I can think of. The best part is you really get an excellent bang for your buck — it's so flavorful that I've been using this for months now and have barely made a dent in the container! Get it from Amazon for $13.97. 36. A 5-pound bucket of Crayola Air Dry Clay to let you finally follow your inner pottery dreams without all the mess and effort of taking classes. After you pull the clay out to shape it, it'll harden on its own — no oven or any effort required! From there you can leave it as is or paint over it for a fun vibe. Psst — a lot of reviewers use silicone or plastic molds to get specific shapes! Promising review: "It's honestly just a really nice material to work with! If you want to create things with clay, this is definitely a good choice! It's definitely not for professional use, but I feel like that's a given? I mean, it is Crayola. But all in all, great for those who want to use it for fun!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.62. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Reviewers marvel at its all-day staying power, even after meals and breaking a sweat. Look at that lil' green lipstick go!! Amazon Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick. Promising review:"This color is beautiful, and shows up differently on everyone. This thing that I like most about this product, is that it stays on all day even through eating multiple meals. I have to use a microfiber cloth to remove it at night!" — Rasheda Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (available in nine shades). 2. A lil' creature-in-a-TV humidifier so delightfully offbeat you'll want both the unicorn *and* the dinosaur version to keep your air hydrated and your aesthetic on point.

Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean. Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Promising review: "Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing. The included dish is a great touch — it keeps it clean and gives it a dedicated spot to rest." — AZMOM Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random)! Check out the rest of the Needoh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront! 4. A shaker of Thin Mint seasoning you need to buy as a favor to all your taste buds immediately. Allow me to paint a picture for you: Thin Mint coffee, Thin Mint pudding, Thin Mint popcorn, Thin Mint anything your dessert gremlin heart desires. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed I stared at this for months online before caving and buying it, and when I tell you!! It jazzes up my morning coffee in a way that makes my little '90s baby heart sing. I've also loved it on Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and mug cakes. Plus, when I am feeling lonely for a real Thin Mint, and we're not in Girl Scout cookie season, I'll shake this on an Oreo Thin to stave off the despair. Get it from Amazon for $4.82 (and try their s'mores seasoning blend, too!). 5. A rechargeable, dimmable Dodo Duck Night-Light so cute that it won't be *that* much of a surprise when you imprint on it and start calling it your son.

A book of Taylor Swift-themed Mad Libs designed with fans in mind, so you can do your next Eras tour rewatch with a side of UNCONTROLLABLE giggling. Amazon, This is also kid-friendly, with reviewers mentioning gifting it to kids ages eight and up! Promising review: "You will get much more out of this than what you paid for.

A mini inflatable tube guy for your desk to cheer you on (or remind you to take a lil' dance break whenever you overwork yourself). Promising review:"OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" — Mark Get it from Amazon for $11.66. 8. A "Giddy Up" cowboy boot phone stand for anyone who wants to bring a little ~~yeehaw~~ energy to their desk or their nightstand when they're streaming shows or FaceTiming in the wild, wild west.

A cat-shaped pizza cutter purrrfectly designed to cut slices through even the cheesiest, most piping hot pies so everyone can get their grub on right meow!! Amazon Promising review: "A lot of products like this have problems in the design that make it either hard to use, hard to clean, or both. This worked perfectly and I like it better than the normal, everyday looking ones. If you turn it with ears towards the counter, on its back, you can set it down without the cutting wheel touching the counter after use, if you're going to cut something else. So that's really awesome." — Brandy Get it from Amazon for $12.95. 11. A set of mini Stanley-inspired shot glasses for when it's THAT kind of party — do everyone a favor and roll up to the bachelorette, birthday, and themed shenanigan with these cheeky "bottles" in tow. Promising review:"Perfect for tastings. These were a hit at a paint-and-sip party that I attended. I made a couple of cocktails and carried them to the event in larger containers, but gifted each of the attendees one of these little cups so that they could sample each. They loved them." — SoBeGaPe Get a set of six from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in a pack of three and a pack of eight). 12. A set of book-shaped sponges, aka what happens when Cinderella and Belle collaborate on your birthday gift. Promising review:"Everything about these sponges is great. The design and printing is very well done, with clear tasteful colors, and the sponges themselves are quality. I use them in the guest bathroom sink with the soap dish and they actually strike your eye, a little pop of art — that's how nicely the printing is done. I bought them for me but they would be a wonderful book club gift." — isecond Get a set of three from Amazon for $10. 13. A sword-shaped grater for anyone out there who isn't just a cheese lover, but a cheese gladiator. Fight valiantly, my dairy-tolerant friends. Amazon Promising review:"It's so cute!!! I've ended up using it so much since getting it, there are plenty of times I've avoided using my regular grater but didn't because box graters are so hard to clean. This one makes it so much simpler, and it goes perfectly with our DND-ish themed home!" — Natalie Get it from Amazon for $14.90. 14. A soft plush iPhone 15 case you can get in a ton of cool aesthetics — just imagine how cozy this will feel the next time you're having an Anxious Day For No Reason (Thanks, Brain!!) and want something snuggly in your immediate vicinity. Amazon You can grab these for iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 13, too! Promising review: "I love this case! The texture is so unusual, the design is great, and it's easy to clean! I just wash it with soap in the sink and let it air dry. Super affordable and good quality." — K A Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 25 styles). 15. A set of vinyl coasters to give your coffee table a delightfully retro nostalgic touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation. Amazon Promising review:"Good gift.

An interactive Fingerlings baby monkey so lawlessly adorable that everyone in the family will be clamoring to let it snuggle on them. It reacts to your touch, lets you feed and pet it, and even has a lil' heartbeat that lights up when you put them on your finger. Promising review:"Adorable!! My 8-year-old niece wanted these cute little monkeys for her birthday so I bought her three of them. They ended up being the hit of the party. All of the kids wanted to play with them, and it was my niece's favorite gift." — Andrew Gamez Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in blue and purple). 17. A spinning pill dispenser to make taking your meds feel like a game show or a trip to the carnival — sometimes you have to ~romanticize your life~ to remember the essentials in your daily routine!! You can even attach this to a wall or the fridge if you're feeling it. Check out a TikTok of the pill dispenser in action. Promising review:"So I am horrible about remembering if I took my pills. And I HATE digging into the old pill boxes or doing the tip over. I don't know what it is, but i have always disliked it. I hung this on my wall right by the kitchen so I pass it like 5,000 times a day and I can't not see it. It is so fun pushing the little orange button to watch the meds fall out. I mean it kind of feels like a really weird game of Wheel of Fortune, but I like it." — Grofica Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). 18. A set of rainbow bath fizzes so magical that you will walk into the bath a mortal being, and walk back out an enchanted fairy witch lawlessly spreading joy wherever you roam. Promising review:"These bath bombs are pure joy for kids and adults alike! They smell amazing, are long-lasting, and turn bath time into a delightful experience. While a tad pricey, the fun and luxury they bring make them worth the splurge. A treat for the senses!" — Neha Get a set of three from Amazon for $16.99. 19. A set of delightfully chaotic but durable magnetic pigeon bag clips for anyone who gets ~peckish~ for chips and cereal and wants a fun way to seal the bag.

This not only has unique, sophisticated flair, but comes with adjustable brightness so you can curate the room's mood. Amazon Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting. Promising review: "The light is nice! It's a unique-looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I'd definitely recommend it to others." — Carmelita Joy Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ ( available in four colors). 21. A cow-themed cheese holder that is, in fact, a Big Moooooooood. Not only is this an adorable and handy way to store your cheese slices, but tons of parents say it's been a real hit with the kiddos! Each container holds 24 slices of cheese. Promising review:"I had an old Kraft cheese container from decades ago that finally broke, and I didn't think I would be able to find a replacement, but this is even better! My kids named it Daisy immediately. It is cute to have in the fridge or even bring out to the dinner table. Great quality and should last a long time." — Karen Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 22. A "Normal Gets You Nowhere" digital download for all the goofy goobers, unrepentant nerds, and silly geese out there who need a cute reminder every now and then. Baroo Bloom/Etsy Baroo Bloom is an Austria-based Etsy shop that specializes in wall art and stationery. Promising review:"I am very happy with my purchase. I have a young daughter who is beginning to feel the peer pressures of growing up and is concerned about fitting in. I remember what that time period felt like for me, and I would never, ever go back! This picture is a bright, cheerful, and a fun reminder that being yourself is more fun and easy than being 'normal.'" — Kelly Wojcik Get it from Baroo Bloom on Etsy for $4.57 (and check out a whole bunch of similar prints in the Etsy shop!). 23.

FLUFFY!!!! that you will not be able to resist the adorable siren call of zipping its fuzzy little "coat" on and off when your brain needs a cozy vacation. 24. A wildly hilarious "screaming goat" button that has surprised reviewers by becoming a legit staple in their routine — people use it to get the attention of a classroom or break tension in the office or just to generally announce to anyone in your vicinity, "I've had it up to HERE and someone better get me a little treat IMMEDIATELY." Novelty888 is a small business that specializes in delightfully and oddly specific talking buttons. Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 25. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of murder 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that you can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if you do it in order, you get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book). The best part?? Once you finish "Murdling," you can use your sleuthing skills on Volume 2, Volume 3, and a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books! Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" — Liz Gately Get it from Amazon for $10.25. 26. A"Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier. 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 $16.95. 27. A wavy, textured full-length mirror, because if your mirror is lucky enough to behold your cute self every day, it better be serving looks just as adorable! Amazon, Promising review: " LOVE LOVE LOVE this mirror! Super easy to hang up on the wall and sat perfectly still when I had to set the bottom on the floor to prop it up! The felt fabric is super soft! Pretty good/normal size! The color is GIVING! And it honestly wasn't TOO heavy!" — Keisha Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in four styles). 28. A ravioli spoon rest to flex on all your friends — they may think they love pasta, but you actually LOVE!! PASTA!!!!!, as evidenced by this half decorative, half functional snack. Amazon Promising review: "This is a great spoon rest, but an even greater conversation piece for anyone who walks by the stove. 'Is that a giant ravioli on your stove?' 'OMG, no, it's just my adorable spoon rest!' Jealousy ensues. You get the idea. Also, it keeps the stove clean(er), and everything washes off of the spoon rest quite easily." — Melissa McMahon Get it from Amazon for $15.74. 29. A set of "robot goldfish" that aren't really goldfish, but sure as heck act like them. These mesmerizing little swimmers are all the joy of fish parenthood without any of the responsibility of cleaning their tanks or rescuing them from dentist's offices on long ocean-wide journeys. Promising review:"I got these based on an Instagram reel and they were completely worth it. They swim so realistically and my kids (and cats) love them! They make bath time so fun and I'll definitely be ordering more." — savannah Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.30 (available in three color combos). 30. A bitingly hilarious "I Hate You All" activity book for stress relief that delightfully straddles the line between wholesome and worrisome — perfect for blowing off a little steam at the end of a long day. Amazon, 31. A penguin-shaped egg cooker and holder that makes it ridiculously easy to make easy-, medium-, and hard-boiled eggs on the stove, *plus* keep them safe afterward. No more sticking your eggs back in the fridge and confusing them for the raw ones anymore — you can just pop the little penguins in there for storage. Promising review: "Bought this for a serotonin boost because it's ridiculously cute. Little did I know how utterly functional it is. No more cracking eggs while dropping them into the pot, no more fishing them out, no more putting them back into the damp cardboard carton where they inevitably are forgotten right next to the equally neglected bag of spring mix. Just in the pot, out the pot, into the fridge where they cutely greet me every time I open the door. Gives me five seconds of joy every time. Highly recommend." — Kitty M. Get it from Amazon for $23.90 (also available in a bear version). 32. A lil' car mirror swinging duck accessory because you know what?? Sometimes the commute to work gets lonely, and you need a friend you can count on to quack you up. Amazon 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

Amazon, Erbie's is a small business that specializes in dehydrated, seasoned bug snacks. Each bag includes a mix of house crickets, black crickets, grasshoppers, silkworm pupae, and sago worm pupae. Promising review: "All the reviews were pretty spot on. Small bag, crumbly, not very flavorful. Pop some garlic salt or paprika in the bag and you're good to go! Debating on making a flour with them and using it to bread some chicken. I'm a foreman at a body shop and only three of the guys were willing to try them and the rest scattered, so it was an entertaining day. Keep water nearby because they are dry." — Stacia Eldredge Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a two-pack). 7. A set of quirky ceramic mini espresso cups so cute that from the moment you start sipping from them, it'll be like one touch and they brand new'd it for you ✨.

Definite buy for the Lego fan in your life." — T Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two colors). 9. A " Grievance Journal," or rather a "burn book for the discerning misanthrope" — a darkly funny, satisfying, and cathartic journal with 52 prompts so you can purge yourself of the ~~darkness~~ of your daily irritations and inconveniences without alarming all your friends and neighbors. (Well, any more than you already do 😈.) Amazon Promising review: "Bought this intending to gift it to a friend but ended up getting really into the prompts and decided to keep it for myself. WOW, what an awesome way to vent and articulate the negativity you're feeling by actually forcing yourself to form coherent thoughts around your emotions. Cheaper and more effective than therapy, buying several more for friends and fam." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 10. A pillow-shaking alarm clock that uses a "shaker" mode to gently vibrate under your pillow to wake you up — perfect for someone who doesn't respond as well to noise, or doesn't like how jarring it is to wake to an alarm. THAT SAID, this also features an option for an alarm so loud that they call it a "sonic bomb," so you can use that as extra wake-up insurance if you need it! Sonic Alert is a small business that specializes in alarm clocks. Promising review: "This alarm is amazing. The pillow shaker does its job to perfection. The shaker shakes the pillow just right so you don't wake up startled. The loud alarm is loud enough. I wear a hearing aid to hear everything, and the loud alarm is loud enough that I can hear it without my hearing aid. Must have for someone with hearing issues so you wake up on time every time." — Scott D. Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in six colors). 11. A lil' flat cat heating pad you can cook up in the microwave for some much needed relief from cramps or just the chill in the air. Promising review: "This was so much better than I anticipated.

Heat is a humid heat but not too intense right out of the microwave." — brittany Get it from Amazon for $17.69+ (available three sizes and four other styles). 12. A line art vase that says "minimalism, but make it whimsical." Now you can keep your sophisticated style while still livening things up a bit. Promising review: "Bought on a whim, and I'm so glad I did — this little vase is absolutely adorable! The design is unique, with warm, saturated colors. It's well made, too, and arrived perfectly packaged. It is rather small, so be sure to check the dimensions, but it makes a fantastic accent piece. All around five stars, couldn't be happier!" — Caitlin M Get it from Amazon for $22.79 (clip the 5% off coupon on the product page to get this price). 13. A set of dainty but durable ladybug bag clips to add a touch of whimsy to your chip bags and cereal boxes. Amazon Promising review: "Super cute and great quality.

A shaker of salt and vinegar seasoning so you can get all that puckery salty goodness *without* sacrificing crunch. Reviewers love using this for everything from chips to baked potatoes to fried chicken to veggies, and mention that since it packs a punch it lasts a while and is def worth the investment. Promising review:"Always loved salt and vinegar, and this is a great way I can satisfy a craving without necessarily having to buy a pricey bag of chips. Another reviewer said that this particular product was pretty tangy and not sweet like some other brands — I can't speak to other products, but this stuff is definitely tangy and doesn't really have any sweetness to it. The consistency is almost like powdered sugar, which is great because it sticks to almost anything. The flavor reminds me almost exactly of Lay's S&V chips — it's more of a white vinegar than a malt vinegar (more like Kettle brand or British S&V chips). Def will buy this again." — WJ Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (and check out some other fun seasonings like sour cream and onion, and wild buffalo for more options!). 16. A sword-shaped grater for anyone out there who isn't just a cheese lover, but a cheese gladiator. Fight valiantly, my dairy-tolerant friends. Amazon Promising review:"It's so cute!!! I've ended up using it so much since getting it, there are plenty of times I've avoided using my regular grater but didn't because box graters are so hard to clean.

Promising review: "I bought this lotus flower set for myself, and it only took me a little while to make it. Each stem with a flower is bagged separately, making it easy to put together. You can make the stem as long or short as you want. The leaves on the two open flowers have bendable hinged leaves, so you can make them look more realistic. They look cute in a vase, and I'm very pleased with the results." — Happy Amazoner Get it from Amazon for $10.39. 18.

Mindsight is a small business that specializes in calming personal care and decor products. Promising review (for the original style):"I started meditating over a decade ago. Intermittent in the beginning, progressing deeper, and finding new joys over time. With Breathing Buddha, the last thoughts have dropped away as counting breath always seemed to keep me conscious of, well, counting. Granted, I have always dropped the counting after a handful of breaths, but Breathing Buddha has made for a delightful transition as I realize it doesn't have to count at all. It is a lovely concept, well executed, and very easy to start using." — Lynn Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (also available in two other styles). 20.

Promising review:"I bought two of these candles, the bigger one and the small one. They are so freaking cute! They look and feel 100% like the pictures!
