We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · These adorable sunflower Legos are so full of serotonin you won't know where to put it all. 1. A unique and oh-so-decadent Otherland candle for anyone who adores classic, welcoming scent profiles with whimsical twists. These candles push the box on your regular florals and fruits by adding distinctive layers like California Fig, Chili Salt, and even Tennis Ball. 👀 🎾 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 $40 (available in nine scents). 2. A set of Slop Tart sponges to make every Pop-Tart-loving '90s baby love doing the dishes so much that they'll start fighting over who gets to do them. These also make top notch quirky kitchen decor to brighten your space! Promising review:"These look just like the real deal and you get four! My Cinderfella loved them." — queen k Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99. 3. An absorbent floral dish drying mat so lovely that you'll actually — gasp — look forward to doing the dishes? The "main character in a rom com" energy of this mat is too strong to resist. Promising review:"This mat is perfect. It absorbs water from washed dishes well and provides a protective buffer between dishes and our granite countertops. After use, you can hang the mat; it will dry out in minutes. The mat is both decorative and functional. This was a great purchase. There will be no more wet dish towels to contend with. I highly recommend this product." — Cambodian Nurse Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six styles and three sizes). 4. 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 $13.99. 5. A set of Goldfish fridge magnets — aka "Holdfish" — to instantly assert the superiority of this cracker to anyone who enters your home and dares to think they can suggest a snack food that doesn't smile back.

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 $17.45. 7. A unique tripod floor lamp that will draw the eye without stealing the show — the perfect solution to keep up a modern look without falling into that trap of "woof, everything suuuure does look boring in here." Amazon Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting. Promising review:"These lights really add a unique look to any space and look like they are high end. There are three dimmable options for the right type of light you are looking for controlled by a floor button. Adds a uniqueness and minimalist look to your space. Easy to put together, took five minutes." — Alexandra Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in gold and black). 8. A set of Lego sunflowers so cheerful that they'll put a lil' pep in your step every time you see them. Promising review:"These are so cute and easy to assemble.

House Party 2K20 is a small business that specializes in unique serving accessories. Promising review:"I absolutely love this bulldog charcuterie board, it's the perfect size and it's made so well. All the dog lovers wanted to know where to purchase one. I used it twice already for two parties and it was a hit!" — RN79 Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in two sizes). 10. 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). 11. Birdie, an indoor carbon dioxide monitor that — bless her dramatic heart — flips over and "dies" if the air quality in your home goes down, prompting you to open a window or run an air purifier so you can breathe easier. Once Birdie is happy with the air quality again, she'll pop back up! Amazon Promising review: "Super easy to set up, and it works! We set ours up, and after charging it and mounting it, the bird fell down. We opened the windows, and about 10 minutes later, the bird went upright. People have commented how cool it look, going to buy as a gift for a family member as well." — M English Get it from Amazon for $149 (clip the $40 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in five styles). 12. A moon lamp candle warmer so you can get all the celestial vibes *and* the coziness of a soothing candle wafting through your space (without worrying about an open flame!).

Love the color and the quality." — MyLisaSerena Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 19 colors). 14. A chicken zen garden for anyone so stressed out that they don't give a cluck where there self-care comes from anymore. 15. 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 $17.95. 16. A little popcorn bucket vase for a fun punch of color that basically DEMANDS you go to Trader Joe's and get the most colorful mini $4 bouquet to put in it, STAT. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. This vase is so quirky and ADORABLE — every time I see it in my living room, it makes my heart happy. I am on a mission to make my living room space as un-boring as possible, and this may be a small piece, but it's got a BIG personality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun piece of decor! Get it from Amazon for $28.95. 17. A set of glow-in-the-dark "tree elves" so the next time you take an enchanted midnight stroll through your front walkway to get home at night, you'll have a whole host of magical critters to welcome you back. Promising review: "I have actually bought a couple of packs of these. I think they're so cute and fit so well in a little plant or around the house. Sometimes, I like to let my friends pick out some little guys as members of their families. Plus, did I mention how cute they are? And they glow in the dark very well." — Jen Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $12.98. 18. 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). 19. A dreamy satin bow throw pillow for anyone whose coquette era is so strong that it doesn't even take a pause when they sleep. 🎀🎀🎀 ^^ That's my Galinda fever dream of a bedroom up here. I put this pillow in so many pieces for BuzzFeed that I finally just caved and bought her myself. I love her. She makes me so happy every morning when I make my bed and finish it off with a little bow on top. And then I get to "unwrap" her at the end of the day with the gift of sleep. Highly recommend, it changed the whole mood of my (admittedly very pink) room! Promising review: "I really love this pillow! I got the darker pink color and it looks great. It feels like good quality and it's a decent size, a really cute decorative addition to my room. Overall would recommend :)." — KSK9 Get it from Urban Outfitters for $29 (originally $49; available in five colors). 20. A moon wine holder so your favorite bottles can spend some time floating happily in the ether before you pop them open to celebrate. Kozy Sweet Home/Etsy Kozy Sweet Home is a California-based Etsy shop established in 2019 that specializes in home essentials and giftware made with environmentally-conscious bamboo. Promising review:"This wine holder is really pretty in person, and holds a bottle beautifully. Quick turnaround time on delivery too. Thanks so much!" — Melissa Snavely Get it from Kozy Sweet Home on Etsy for $31.99 (originally $39.99). 21. 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 $7.48. 22. A ginormous "marshmallow cloud fleece" blanket you should only pull out in front of guests if you're prepared for them to burrow inside and never, ever leave. Promising review:"If you're willing to splurge on a blanket, this is the one. My favorite blanket that I've ever owned. My dog and cat love it too!" — UO Reviewer Get it from Urban Outfitters for $144 (originally $169; available in four styles). 23. A decorative rainbow window film that says, "Yes, I want my privacy, but I also want to be extremely glamorous about it." Not only does this refract beautiful rainbows to turn your space into a calm, colorful oasis, but reviewers mention that it's handy for pet owners whose dogs love to bark at things outside. Promising review:"I actually did not know anything like this existed. I was watching TikTok and saw someone use it to allow the light to shine in without people being able to stare into their home. So I decided to give it a try, and am so glad I did. It is beautiful. I currently have it on a small window, and the difference it makes as opposed to aluminum foil is amazing. Plus, if you like a little light but not an over-abundant amount, this is the stuff to use. Very easy to put up, very happy with my purchase." — Eva Thomas Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in seven sizes) 24. An iridescent side table, because if there's one rule about home decor, it's that you can NEVER have too many rainbow vibes. Stick this effortless statement piece in direct sunlight and watch it ~gleam~. Promising reviews: "This table is SO CUTE! Obviously, it looks great in the sun/direct light, but it still looks good at night. It's great quality and really sturdy, so I don't have to worry about the size or weight of what I put on it. Excellent side table for the price!" — KayJay Get it from Amazon for $150.99 (clip the $20 off coupon on the product page for this price). 25. A surrealist melting Dali-inspired clock for anyone who saw this emoji 🫠 and immediately said to themselves, "Same." This will hang off the edge of any flat, even surface and is actually a functional clock! Promising review: "This is an awesome clock for anyone who loves Dali and surrealist art. It is a great value for the money, considering it is super cool and good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble, which is very cool. The metallic part is also plastic, which is fine. It ticks a bit loudly, but I personally like that. I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." — Zach Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 26. A show-stopping seashell martini glass, because why settle for your classic dirty gin martini when you can pretend your olives are actually newly-discovered ~pearls~? Star Forge Threads/Etsy Star Forge Threads is an Illinois-based Etsy shop that specializes in custom drinkware. Get it from Star Forge Threads on Etsy for $34.80+ (originally $69.60+; available in six styles, additional shell styles here). 27. A fairy door garden kit you can install at the base of your very favorite tree in your backyard to let all neighboring fairies know they are always welcome in your space. ✨ (Don't worry about the fairies getting lost — these also glow in the dark!) Promising review: "I bought this on a whim. We lost a big tree to a storm last summer and wanted to do something interesting with the stump. It's mossy and covered in fungi. It was the perfect base for the start of my new Fairy Garden. Easy to install and fun to 'landscape' and decorate. Looking forward to expanding the bed with fairy-friendly plants." — C. Meyers Get it from Amazon for $20.99. 28. 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 four colors). 29. 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). 30. 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 $9.99. 31. 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 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 $4.43 (and check out a whole bunch of similar prints in the Etsy shop!). 32. 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

33 TikTok Products For Anyone Who Likes To Surround Themselves With Beautiful Things At All Times

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Decontaminating has never been more of an ✨aesthetic✨, thanks to these beautifully-packaged hand sanitizers. 1. A unique and oh-so-decadent Otherland candle for anyone who adores classic, welcoming scent profiles with whimsical twists. 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. Check out a TikTok of the Otherland candles in action. 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). 2. A simple faux diamond tennis bracelet to add a touch of sophistication to any outfit without the price of name-brand versions like Swarovski (even though reviewers agree this looks like the Real Deal 👀). Amazon, Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "TikTok made me do it. I've been influenced. These bracelets are perfect." — A. Simmons For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my "daily wear" jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets! Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in four colors, two styles, and three sizes). 3. A folding pill organizer with conveniently visible pill windows for easy access. Each has six small compartments for little pills, plus a large compartment for capsules and vitamins, making it ideal for trips where you might need a lil' emergency pharmacy in your backpack but don't want to take up space. Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I purchased this because I saw them all over TikTok. As someone with chronic illness I honestly carry around like 10 different pill bottles for 'just in case' situations. This little pill box is a great size, I love that it's magnetic and each little compartment fits a good amount of pills. It won't fit a ton of Tums if that's what you're looking for, but the amount of space this has saved in my bag is amazing!" — Jasmin Salas Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 13 colors, two sizes, and two-packs). 4. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs. Check out a TikTok of the Bella toaster in action. Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. 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 $19.99 (available in four styles). 5. A pair of pretty pastel wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price. iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point. Promising review: "These headphones surprised me. I thought they were not going to be as great because of how cheap they are, but the bass is amazing! The noise cancellation is so good that I can't hear anything. The volume is loud and sound quality is a win, and just how I like it. Very snug and comfy, recommend! Thanks TikTok, lol :)." — Chevelle Revero Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 6. 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. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents). 7. 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. 8. A tiny marble patterned milk frother that makes rich, creamy froths in seconds, because why stop at regular tea and coffee when you can have velvety-soft milk tea and lattes? Promising review:"So I'll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video. However, I'm in love with this thing! It's so much fun to use, and you make your at-home drinks feel so much more special. It's easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you're on the fence I'd say what are you waiting for buy it already!" — Denise Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in dozens of styles). 9. 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. Amazon Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Check out a TikTok of Touchland in action. 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. Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). 10. A vintage-style 6-in-1 Bluetooth record player that is not only a stunning statement piece for your living room, but plays *deep breath* vinyls, CDs, AND cassettes along with connecting to Bluetooth and the radio, so you can walk down every single musical path on memory lane. Check out a TikTok of the vintage-style record player in action. Promising review:"I bought this as a gift for my husband. He truly loved it. The needle is very good, and the sound quality is wonderful. It can play records, cassettes, CDs, and the radio. It can also connect via Bluetooth. So many ways to play music. It is easy to use. The value was amazing. It is a little heavy, but the box is very sturdy, and I expect to last a long time." — MAREBARE Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in seven styles). 11. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light for anyone whose little hobbit heart could use an extra dose of cozy in their room. Reviewers swear by this lil bub for navigating their rooms at night! Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed Check out a TikTok of the mushroom night-light in action. Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." — 1Thand Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 12. And an oh-so-sweet hummingbird lamp with three brightness levels and a touch sensor that reviewers love using as a reading light, a wind-down light, or a nursery light. Bonus: it also functions as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its head. Check out a TikTok of the bird night-light in action. Promising review:"I literally have no idea why I bought this. It was a suggested item and looked interesting so I was like 'lol okay.' I can't believe how much I like it LOL. It looks and feels much nicer than you'd think and the battery lasts forever. It has three shades of light and it's extremely bright." — K Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 13. A sleek time-marked water bottle that says "hydration, but make it chic." Reviewers love this bottle not just for the chic frosted, minimalist look, but because it's super lightweight, leakproof, and motivational re: keeping yourself fully watered. Promising review:"Saw it on TikTok and thought it would be a great bottle for work. It is very sleek and lightweight enough to carry when you have other items in your hand. I love the modern look and cleans very easily! The time increments really do motivate, definitely ordering again for myself and gifts. Fast delivery and very nice packaging." — Rosa Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes). 14. 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 ✨.

So I decided to give it a try, and am so glad I did. It is beautiful. I currently have it on a small window, and the difference it makes as opposed to aluminum foil is amazing.

I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much more prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" — Amazon Customer 🌷 Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and in 35 styles). 28.

So far I've cooked a whole chicken, beans and rice, working on baby rack ribs, and a few other things. The best feature is all dishes I've cooked have taken no more than one hour. I have yet to try vegetables, but parsnips are in the near future as are beats. Only criticism would be to invest in some kind of trivet to keep the meat you're cooking out of the liquid. Planning on some lamb shanks in the very near future." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $199 (available in three colors). 29. A "Through The Seasons" Reverse Coloring Book, which is a newer edition of the original Reverse Coloring Book that took the internet by storm — reviewers swear by this easy, calming artistic outlet to help ease their anxiety, relieve stress, and unleash their inner creativity without taking up too much brainpower.

Check out a TikTok of the reverse coloring book in action. Promising review: "Kendra Norton's beautiful art books, Reverse Coloring books, have changed my world! My whole life I thought I was not creative and therefore had zero artistic ability. Now this has become my favorite form of artistic expression. I turn on music and/or an audiobook and allow myself to go for an adventure outside of my mind, beyond my mind, if you will. T his has become my favorite way to process through difficult emotions and experiences I'm working through." — K. DeWitt Get it from Amazon for $8.29. 30. A brand spanking new *mini* Kindle — it's faster, it's brighter, and more importantly, it's TEENSIER.

The battery life isn't as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you." — Christine Heath Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in black and matcha, and with or without an ad lock screen). 31.

Overall, I love them, love their feel, love the colors, and am very happy." — Mary Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.99. 13. 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."

A set of book-shaped sponges, aka what happens when Cinderella and Belle collaborate on your birthday gift. Promising review:"These sponges are adorable!!

A dreamy satin bow throw pillow for anyone whose coquette era is so strong that it doesn't even take a pause when they sleep. 🎀🎀🎀 ^^ That's my Galinda fever dream of a bedroom up here. I put this pillow in so many pieces for BuzzFeed that I finally just caved and bought her myself. I love her. She makes me so happy every morning when I make my bed and finish it off with a little bow on top. And then I get to "unwrap" her at the end of the day with the gift of sleep. Highly recommend, it changed the whole mood of my (admittedly very pink) room! Promising review: "I really love this pillow! I got the darker pink color and it looks great.

It is a great value for the money, considering it is super cool and good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble, which is very cool.

I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." — Zach Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 26.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Maybe you don't *need* a tennis-scented candle or an oat milk-shaped vase, but you sure deserve them. 1. A set of Slop Tart sponges to make every Pop-Tart-loving '90s baby love doing the dishes so much that they'll start fighting over who gets to do them. These also make top notch quirky kitchen decor to brighten your space! Promising review:"These look just like the real deal and you get four! My Cinderfella loved them." — queen k Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99. 2. A unique tennis-inspired"Matchpoint" candle for anyone who adores classic, welcoming scent profiles with whimsical twists. Otherland's entire line of candles pushes the box on your regular florals and fruits by adding distinctive layers like California Fig, Chili Salt, and yes — even Tennis Ball. 👀 🎾 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 Otherland: " 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). 3. 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 $13.99. 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 $4.85 (and try their s'mores seasoning blend, too!). 5. A Bunnycorn Squishmallow that will keep you snuggly and magical and also make you wonder a little too often, "Huh. I wonder how its parents met." 6. 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). 7. 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. 8. A "World's Tiniest Violin" keychain you can play the next time someone has the audacity to complain about dinner when you sure as heck didn't see THEM offering to cook a darn thing. Amazon Promising review:"This is the cutest thing. Super mini, like three inches tall. I keep it on my desk at work when whiners come into my office, LOL." — Lulu Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 9. A blackhead remover anxiety relief toy perfect for anyone who likes to relax in the most bizarrely gross yet satisfying way possible. Reviewers mention this lil' dude helps give them relief from other less healthy fidget habits, like pulling and picking. Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit, and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." — Danika Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two styles). 10. 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). 11. A Frenchie-themed cheese board for some top notch char-woof-erie at your next party. House Party 2K20 is a small business that specializes in unique serving accessories. Promising review:"I absolutely love this bulldog charcuterie board, it's the perfect size and it's made so well. All the dog lovers wanted to know where to purchase one. I used it twice already for two parties and it was a hit!" — RN79 Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in two sizes). 12. A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser to remind you that life is, in fact, too short to skip on your delicious morning cuppa. 13. A wonderfully ridiculous yodeling pickle with such potent "instant joy" powers that you really ought to be careful before you pull it out at a party. The serotonin is going to be LAWLESS. Amazon Dr. Dingus is a small business that specializes in unique gag gifts that encourage human interaction. Promising review: "I'm a CPA specializing in tax at an accounting firm; we get very tense, stressed and fatigued nearing the many tight deadlines. The laughter and snorts the yodeling pickle elicits are priceless and never fail to dispel some of the the above negative states. I purchased this to rival the screaming goat in the next office!" — Ting Peterson Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 14. A set of adorable animal-themed wool dryer balls to replace all your dryer sheets, and make your laundry a HECK of a lot more efficient — these help significantly shorten drying time, collect pet hair caught on your clothes, and even help soften fabric for a more ~luxurious~ post-laundered experience. Smart Sheep is a woman-owned small business that specializes in wool dryer balls. Promising review: " The quality is outstanding! If fuss gets on it, it doesn't get tangled up, it just sits on top for very easy removal. It's so effective that it's cut my drying time down and kept my clothes from the dog hair sticking to my clothes. They are soft and slightly bigger than tennis balls. Mine have stayed in the dryer and a still preforming their job way above expectations." — Debbie S. Get a set of six from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in five styles). 15. 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). 16. A set of silicone teacup cupcake liners so you can have your cake and "drink" it, too. Reviewers loved these for tea parties and cupcake decorating parties! Promising review: "Perfect size and color — so cute! My cupcakes did not stick. I did NOT spray the cups with anything. They were the perfect size. Fluffy. Nonstick. Lightweight. I received several compliments. The cupcakes popped right out of the cups. This brand was perfect! I'm truly impressed." — Denise Mendez Get a set of six from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in white and pink, plus sets of 12 and 24). 17. 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 $14.95. 18. A delightfully subtle cropped "silly goose" pullover with some real "if you know you know" vibes. The little beak is hidden on one of the sleeves, so it masquerades as an ordinary sweater until you lift your arm to reveal that it is, in fact, the coolest sweater you own. Amazon Promising review: "It's so cute! It's a perfect length in my mind, not too long, but not cropped either. Hits right below my belly button and I love that. The sleeves are so so cute! I got this for my 1-year-old's goose party!" — Keegan Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and four colors). 19. Web Slinger Coffee Beans that taste like crispy marshmallow, with faint top notes of teenage vigilantism and photography nerd. Just remember, with great caffeination comes great responsibility. Amazon Bones Coffee Company is a small business that specializes in coffee grounds and beans with unique flavors and themes. Promising review: "I originally purchased this coffee last year as a sort of gag gift stocking stuffer for my husband. He's always been a huge Spider-Man fan so it just felt fun. I thought 'ah, this is kind of expensive and he probably won't like the coffee, but at least it will make him smile' … Fast forward to him trying it and saying it was possibly the best coffee he ever tasted, and now it's his go-to coffee. Definitely a turn of events I did not expect! Would definitely recommend this brand of coffee though!" — Becca Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in dozens of other fun flavors, including decaf options). 20. 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. 21. An Uno rug so anytime you wake up on the wrong foot, you can step on this and be all, "UNO REVERSE!!!" and instantly turn the day around. 😎 Amazon Promising review: "I didn't believe it would be that good, seeing as that, it was so cheap. But to my surprise, this carpet is absolutely incredible. It's soft, colorful, and all of my guests love it! you will not regret buying this funky carpet. I can assure you, you are not going to be disappointed. I know that's hard to believe because you don't know me, but trust me, you're going to want to buy this. Believe me." — izzella Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and two styles). 22. 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). 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. 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). 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. Amazon Promising review: "Super cute and great quality. Holding up well so far." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of four from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two other styles). 27. A set of troll doll lighter cases so the next time you're looking for a good metaphor to explain your emotional state to your loved ones, you can just whip one of these gremlins out and light its little head on fire. 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. A chicken zen garden for anyone so stressed out that they don't give a cluck where their self-care comes from anymore. 29. 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). 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. And 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. 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

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). 11. Birdie, an indoor carbon dioxide monitor that — bless her dramatic heart — flips over and "dies" if the air quality in your home goes down, prompting you to open a window or run an air purifier so you can breathe easier.

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 $7.48. 23. A ginormous "marshmallow cloud fleece" blanket you should only pull out in front of guests if you're prepared for them to burrow inside and never, ever leave. Urban Outfitters Promising review:"If you're willing to splurge on a blanket, this is the one. My favorite blanket that I've ever owned. My dog and cat love it too!" — UO Reviewer Get it from Urban Outfitters for $169 (available in three styles). 24. A decorative rainbow window film that says, "Yes, I want my privacy, but I also want to be extremely glamorous about it." Not only does this refract beautiful rainbows to turn your space into a calm, colorful oasis, but reviewers mention that it's handy for pet owners whose dogs love to bark at things outside. Promising review:"I actually did not know anything like this existed. I was watching TikTok and saw someone use it to allow the light to shine in without people being able to stare into their home. So I decided to give it a try, and am so glad I did. It is beautiful. I currently have it on a small window, and the difference it makes as opposed to aluminum foil is amazing. Plus, if you like a little light but not an over-abundant amount, this is the stuff to use. Very easy to put up, very happy with my purchase." — Eva Thomas Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in eight sizes) 25. An iridescent side table, because if there's one rule about home decor, it's that you can NEVER have too many rainbow vibes. Stick this effortless statement piece in direct sunlight and watch it ~gleam~. Promising reviews: "This table is SO CUTE! Obviously, it looks great in the sun/direct light, but it still looks good at night. It's great quality and really sturdy, so I don't have to worry about the size or weight of what I put on it. Excellent side table for the price!" — KayJay Get it from Amazon for $150.99 (clip the $20 off coupon on the product page for this price). 26. A surrealist melting Dali-inspired clock for anyone who saw this emoji 🫠 and immediately said to themselves, "Same." This will hang off the edge of any flat, even surface and is actually a functional clock! Promising review: "This is an awesome clock for anyone who loves Dali and surrealist art. It is a great value for the money, considering it is super cool and good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble, which is very cool. The metallic part is also plastic, which is fine. It ticks a bit loudly, but I personally like that. I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." — Zach Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 27.

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim. We lost a big tree to a storm last summer and wanted to do something interesting with the stump. It's mossy and covered in fungi. It was the perfect base for the start of my new Fairy Garden. Easy to install and fun to 'landscape' and decorate. Looking forward to expanding the bed with fairy-friendly plants." — C. Meyers Get it from Amazon for $20.99. 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."

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). 30.

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.

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 $9.99. 32. 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.

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 $4.33 (and check out a whole bunch of similar prints in the Etsy shop!). 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
