Shopping · Oat milk — no longer just a non-dairy option, but a charming flower vase. 1. 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 $9.99 (available in six styles). 2. Moodmatcher color-changing lipstick, which 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.

My Cinderfella loved them." — queen k Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99. 4. Elizabeth Mott's Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask that's like, "Skincare, but make it a silly goofy fun time." This charcoal mask helps to deep cleanse pores and gently exfoliate so you're left feeling radiant and ~refreshed~, but it also foams up and turns your face into a puffy storm cloud for maximum shenanigans. Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff. I was skeptical at first but after my first use I fell in love. It goes on smoothly and doesn't drip off which is nice. Once it was time to rinse off, i t was amazing seeing all the stuff it sucked out of my pores (gross but a good gross). Not only does this stuff work, it's fun to watch and see your face turn into a Smurf lol. I have cystic acne which in itself is hard to manage but this stuff made it that much more manageable. Face was left feeling cleaned, refreshed and soft. LOVE LOVE this product. Highly highly recommend." — HarleyMama Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 5. A dimmable flexible clip-on mushroom light so versatile that it'll become your Emotional Support Shroom — this gizmo clips to desks, cribs, bedside tables, and computer monitors to give an ambient, soft glow that's easy on the eyeballs when you're trying to focus. (Also, it's just so darn precious??) Reviewers especially love this lamp for small spaces, since it doesn't take up valuable surface area! Promising review: "I love the way the light looks and the multiple colors, but honestly I love the flexibility of the neck. I can manipulate it to fit the function of what I am doing. I have used it as reading light and mood light by the bed. I had no problem reading my book at night. I have used it as a task light to do arts and crafts. More recently, I have used it at work and it now has a permanent spot at my desk. The light was a great value for the money for me." — Terese Get it from Amazon for $35.99. 6. A NeeDoh Gummy Bear, another new release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line.

These candles push the box on your regular florals and fruits by adding distinctive layers like California Fig, Chili Salt, and even Tennis Ball. 👀 🎾 Amazon Otherland is a small business that specializes in unique vegan candles. Here's what my beloved fellow BuzzFeeder/soul twin Heather Braga has to say about it: " I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the US." Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in 14 scents). 8. 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 👀. 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.) Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. 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 $9.49. 9. A set of vinyl coasters to give your coffee table a delightfully retro nostalgic touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation mid-party. Amazon Promising review:"Good gift. Got these for my wife for her basement bar. They're cute on the pub table and great conversation pieces." — MJ Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 10. A cloud-shaped utility knife you *need* in your life if you're a person who gets a lot of packages — this will save you a whole lot of time and effort (and DESPAIR over your ruined nails) with quick, easy cuts. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the cloud knife in action. Promising review:"I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." — Amy Yasneski Get a set of six from Amazon for $12.99. 11. 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 $18.99. 12. A sweet Nessie sugar spoon reviewers are obsessed with, and for good reason. It infuses just the right amount of ~whimsy~ into the best parts of their day (read: that first cup of coffee, the first bite of oatmeal, that lil' bowl of ice cream before bed). It also has a very satisfying weight and curve for optimum sipping. Amazon Promising review:"This little silly spoon makes me happy. It is now the #1 spoon everyone looks for in the silverware drawer at our house. Often found in a container of ice cream or a mug of tea living its best little life." — Emily Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in sets of four and eight). 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 $13.95+ (available in two sizes). 14. A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser to remind you that life is, in fact, too short to skip on your delicious morning cuppa. Promising review: "My best friend loved this for her birthday. She loves Halloween and tea, and this was such a cute and perfect gift." — Harley Nixon Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 15. 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 $19.90 (also available in a bear version). 16. 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! Amazon 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 (available in two styles). 17. A Lego-inspired brick waffle maker that's about to become the MVP of weekend breakfasts. Lego fans will love them for "building," waffle fans will love that they're small enough that they maximize crispy edges, and everyone will love that these are the perfect size to make whole breakfasts or eat as snacks! Promising review: "My boys loved this! They were excited to see lego waffles and had fun building with them and eating them." — Emily Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two sizes). 18. An oat milk vase for anyone whose dairy intolerance is so well-known that it might as well just become part of the aesthetic. ✨Put your flowers in this and make your local barista proud!! is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. Promising review:"I absolutely love this vase! It's very cute and vibrant, just as pictured." — TexasPoonTapa Get it from Amazon for $25.95. 19. A set of french fry clips that not only secure your food bags, but rest in their own little magnetic fry pouch that sticks onto the fridge. Just further proof that there is nothing the humble potato cannot do. Promising review: "These are very cute, and I love the magnet holder to stick on my fridge so they are easily accessible. Not sure about the durability, haven't used very long." — Save the Bees Get a set of 12 clips from Amazon for $14.90. 20. A Menstruation Crustacean lavender-scented heating pad perfect for when it feels like those cramps are ~clawing~ at you and you need an ocean's worth of relief. Amazon Promising review: "I've had my Menstruation Crustacean for almost three years and it's so lovely. It has helped my cramps a lot and heats up nicely. It also smells nice and is very cute." — KD Vaz Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in three other styles). 21. 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 $35.99. 22. A light up rain cloud essential oil diffuser that looks like it was pulled out of your dizziest daydreams. Reviewers especially love how soothing the color changes and sounds of the water flow are. (And that both are fully adjustable!) Check out a TikTok of the rain cloud diffuser in action. (According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.) Promising review: "Love it! It's so super cute! We call it our shroomcloud. It's peaceful and the mood changing colors are the best! I love hearing the subtle sound of water. Ahhh, zen! Works great as a diffuser with a few drops of your favorite essential oils, too." — Krissy Get it from Amazon for $39.98. 23. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to bring balance to The Force *and* to your sushi. As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force. Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (available in two colors). 24. A Godzilla microwave cleaner you can fill with water and vinegar and stick in the microwave. After five minutes, the gunk will be so loose that you can DESTROYYYYYY it all the way this big dude came after Manhattan. Promising review:"Very cute, works great, excellent Dragonzilla!" — m Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 25. 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. 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. 26. A retro-inspired, rechargeable electric gamer lighter that is not only a more environmentally-friendly alternative to gas lighters but will give you any and every opportunity to relive your glory days of being a Pokemon trainer, searching through a sea of Pidgeys in the tall grass to find a Pikachu. Promising review:"Love this lighter. It has some weight to it, so it feels like a real lighter. It makes a nice click sound when you open and shut it, and is easy to charge with the included cable. The blue lights on the side that show the battery level are neat, and the fact that it looks like a tiny Game Boy is awesome." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $26.88 (available in three styles). 27. A Kellogg's breakfast lip balm pack for anyone who craves that sweet, sweeeet cereal milk after taste long after breakfast hours are over. Amazon Promising review: "These are so fun to use and taste amazing. Nostalgia of being a kid while adulting and properly hydrating and protecting my lips. Win!!!" — Lisa E Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 28. A mouse pad that's actually an artistic rendition of you in a Zoom meeting that doesn't have enough of your coworkers' cute dogs and/or babies making cameos in it. Promising review: " Ordered this to use at work, and every single person who's seen it has commented on how funny it is. The quality is great, color is bold, and the printed lines/edges are clear (no blurring of the image). It's slightly larger than a standard mouse pad, which I kind of like. Definitely a great buy and worth the cost." — K Kuykendall Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in four other styles). 29. A small duck-themed salad bowl so there's no such thing as a Sad Lunch Desk Salad ever again — now at least you have *one* coworker who will always quack you up mid-meal. Amazon Promising review:"I love this bowl for putting snacks in. It is good in the dishwasher and holds an okay amount of stuff. I love the cute face on it." — Mana McPhee Get it from Amazon for $22.99. 30. A set of pop-up cat and mouse hooks you can easily install with the stick-on adhesive for a downright lawlessly adorable option for stashing lightweight items like keys, tote bags, and scarves at the door. Check them out on a TikTok of the cat and mouse hooks in action. Promising reviews: "These are so cute!! I get so happy seeing them hanging by the door waiting to pop back down for when I leave for work. Take the car keys and it's gone. Come back from work, hang them on its tail and they stare at you with this unamused glare. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase! They're so easy to install, just take the adhesive backing, stick it to the back of one, and stick to the wall. Then enjoy your new friend!" — Amazon Customer Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick). 31. An evidence bag-themed zipper pouch so the next time you pull out your lipstick you can be all, "It's not my fault that looking this good is a crime 😘 ." Promising review:"What a great gift for a crime/forensic LEO (unless they are sick of seeing them) or a TV show aficionado of crime. I am in the second category, as well as a crime fiction author. Not only does it hold items like a phone, wallet items, and change, you can use it for a Kindle separately." — Claire O'Sullivan Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four styles). 32. A three-tier ring floor lamp for anyone who wants a lighting option that isn't going to bore them to tears. 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 $71.99+ (clip the 10% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in four colors). 33. A Michael Scott/Prison Mike reversible dishwasher magnet so you always know whether the dishes in there are clean and need to be put away, or whether they're dirty and here to SCARE YOU STRAIGHT. Promising review: "My whole family is a fan of The Office, so when I was searching for a magnet we could use on our dishwasher, this was the hands-down winner. Does it go with my farmhouse decor? Nope, not at all. But it does get the attention of two teenage boys. Had I gone with something a bit more my decor style, I can guarantee you it would not be as useful. I mean, we all would much rather see Prison Mike staring back at us than suit and tie Michael Scott, right? And there is only one way for that to out the dishwasher!" — R. Funk Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 34. A mildly alarming, if not adorable, flexible flower vase that will fascinate guests when they can bend its limbs and hang it from any fixture they choose. That says if this thing *does* come to life in the middle of the night and starts singing and dancing all over your room, well. That's on you for buying whatever the heck this is. Promising review: "An affable, squishy, bendy, happy little vase! The consensus on my social media page is that everyone should have one of these. I finally got a chance to try it out with some daffodils, and really, it's hard not to smile when you see them." — Susy Lundy Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).

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 comes in a beautiful teal color, which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in four styles). 7. A set of square stemmed wineglasses inspired by the iconic Crate & Barrel version, except these are durable as heck (good for particularly rowdy wine-and-cheese nights). Reviewers especially love these chic, understated glasses because they work well for red and white wines. Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99. 8. An understatedly unique wavy corner bookshelf to give your storage some personality, gosh darn it. This is a fun, subtle way to add a whimsical touch to a living room or bedroom without disrupting the aesthetic. Promising review: "Super happy. For the price and simplicity of this corner shelf, I'm all for this product. It's was relatively easy to build — the wavy shape made it a little more confusing, but I built it in under an hour. It's easy to clean, too. I just use a white erase, and everything comes up. I've put rocks and books all over the shelf, so the weight limit is solid. Functional and cool I would recommend to a friend." — ashlynn Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in seven colors and in packs of two). 9.

The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in three colors). 10.

This lumbar supportive chair not only swivels, but lets you sit eight different ways to suit your needs, making it the champion of restless, fidgeting humans everywhere. Amazon Promising revie w: "Short and sweet review: if you're a non-traditional sitter like me, this chair is worth every dang penny. It may not be as cute or plush as other cross-legged chairs on the market, but this is the superior model for ergonomic sitting and is everything I hoped it would be. I have tried every other kind of non-traditional chair on the market (kneeling, ergonomic, backless, yoga ball, etc.) in an attempt to find something that achieves the same things this chair does for a fraction of the price, and can tell you that there's really no equivalent out there — honestly, I probably spent more money trying to find cheaper alternatives for this chair than I did had I just purchased it outright when I first saw it." — Amy K. Get it from Amazon for $349 (available in four colors). 12. A vintage-inspired essential oil diffuser to waft calming scents through your space and add a subtle touch of ~quiet luxury~ by serving double time as decor. (According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.) Promising review:"This really is a game changer for my space, it covers a really large area and smells so good. Plus this holds so much water. This is the perfect size to sit on the end table in the family room.

Promising review:"Love this lighter. It has some weight to it, so it feels like a real lighter. It makes a nice click sound when you open and shut it, and is easy to charge with the included cable. The blue lights on the side that show the battery level are neat, and the fact that it looks like a tiny Game Boy is awesome." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $26.88 (available in three styles). 23. A camera lens-shaped thermos that is both aesthetically pleasing *and* delightfully practical — this 12-ounce insulated mug not only will keep coffee hot, but will keep iced drinks and smoothies cold on the go. Why say "cheese" when you can say "caffeine?" Promising review: "I saw this while browsing, and at first, I thought it was a real lens (until I saw the price). I clicked and had to laugh because it incorporated my husband's two loves — coffee and photography! I got it for him as part of his Christmas gifts, and he loves it. The designer did an excellent job with this. It looks real at first glance, and the raised areas make it very easy to hold. We laughed when he opened it, and it has become one of his favorite mugs." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $16.88. 24. 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.

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 $13.95+ (available in two sizes). 25. 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 $19.90 (also available in a bear version). 26. 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.

The lighters aren't included, but reviewers mention that the cheap little ones from gas stations work perfectly (but that standard Bic ones were a tight fight)! Promising review: "I can't even. This is literally the cutest thing I have ever impulse bought. It's a hit at parties and I giggle every time I remove the cute little hat to use the lighter." — Catt Pecknold Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five styles). 28.

Amazon Promising review: "I've had my Menstruation Crustacean for almost three years and it's so lovely. It has helped my cramps a lot and heats up nicely. It also smells nice and is very cute." — KD Vaz Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in three other styles). 30. A Magic 8 Ball-inspired hair clip so the next time someone asks you if you want to split a plate of fries with your cocktails, you can rattle your brain and say, "You may rely on it." Amazon Promising review: "I'm super impressed with this cute 8 ball hair clip. The 8 is infused into the plastic and the clip actually grabs your hair and holds it well, which I was a bit concerned about because of the rounded shape." — Lynn 31. A set of emotional support fries perfect for days when you feel like a small potato and need someone to say it's okay to fry if you want to. 😭❤️ Amazon Promising review:"The kids loved these. They were bigger than I anticipated. They are soft like a good stuffed animal would be — suitable for an emotional support lovie for sure. Quality seems great. The faces on the fries are adorable." — K. Brown Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 15 other styles). 32.

Not sure about the durability, haven't used very long." — Save the Bees Get a set of 12 clips from Amazon for $14.90. 33. A dimmable sad duck night-light because sometimes you just have to look at this emotionally deflated creature on your desk and be like, "Welp. At least I'm doing better than that little dude." Amazon Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." — Literated
