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).

A rain cloud essential oil diffuser if you want your home to feel like an enchanted forest as you relax. The cloud changes color and gently trickles water, creating such a calming vibe — you'll want to park yourself next to it all day long. This is also a micro humidifier! Plus, the water and changing light effects are 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. 11. Or an oh-so-sweet hummingbird bedside lamp if you want the world's cutest animal sitting on your nightstand — they're small and drink sugar water, what's not to love...

It has three shades of light, and it's extremely bright." — K Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four styles). 12.

Check out a TikTok of the disco ball in action, make sure to grab them some essential oils for the full experience! 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 and two sizes). 13. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light so you can add a little whimsical touch to your home.

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.

A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder that's as adorable as it is functional; your three sets of keys will stay in one place (so you won't lose them) *and* since they're held on magnetically, you can easily pull them off as you head out the door. 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 $7.98. 15. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set so when you ask your sous chef to pass you a knife, you can just say which color you want! With a full-on rainbow of knives, your guests will know you mean business in the kitchen. And according to reviewers, the sharpness and quality are " unbelievable" — especially for the price. It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. And PSA: the knives don't come with this holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them as this reviewer did! Promising review:"This is my best buy of the month and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives." — GWP Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $19.99. 16. A set of rainbow wineglasses so your next wine night, dinner party, or gathering with friends can be paired with beautifully colored glassware.

A levitating planter that's so good at defying gravity that you, your guests, and even Cynthia Erivo will do a double-take. Walk past and boom: your flowers are casually rotating like they're on display in a futuristic spacecraft. Promising review:"Awesome little thing. Guests are immediately interested in it.

A serrated wooden bread bow knife so you quickly get evenly sliced pieces without squishing (and ruining) an entire loaf in the process.

It's a reliable and efficient addition to my kitchen arsenal, highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh, perfectly sliced bread." — Mykayla Stump Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 19. A "Magic Tap" automatic drink dispenser so you don't have to pull out the entire jug of milk, juice, or water every time your little one wants a refill, which is often... This is battery-operated, spillproof, and so easy to use that even kids can serve themselves. Important note: make sure to wash these on a regular basis because some reviewers note that these can grow mold! I suggest using these straw cleaners to thoroughly clean the tube. Check out a TikTok of the drink dispenser in action. Promising review: "Super happy with this purchase. Our two little ones (five and three years old) can now easily fill their own drinks.

Amazon Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting. Promising review: "The light is nice! It's a unique looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I'd definitely recommend it to others." — Carmelita Joy Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in four styles). 21. A dimmable candle warmer lamp that doubles as chic decor thanks to its beautiful wooden base and glass lampshade that looks like a flower. Now you can spread the scent of your favorite candle throughout your space without an open flame — it's safer *and* can help your candle last longer. Amazon It has four different brightness levels that'll not only provide the light you want, but also how strong the fragrance is. Plus, it has a timer function so it automatically shuts off. Promising review: "Honestly, this is one of my favorite purchases I've ever made. Candles last longer, and no need to light them with a fire. Timer is a plus! Never need to worry about forgetting to put out the candle. It's also pleasing to look at, especially on my vanity. It provides extra lighting and now I look forward to getting ready. It puts me in a good mood." — JD Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in six colors and five styles). 22. A Yonanas fruit soft serve maker capable of turning frozen fruit into a delicious treat that's both customizable *and* delectable.

You'll think you're eating the real thing 'cause reviewers confirm it has the consistency of soft-serve! Promising review:"I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild.

A "floating" wine bottle holder to keep your favorite bottle of Sauvignon Blanc on standby in a "Wingardium Leviosa" kinda way — IYKYK. Promising review: "I was actually curious if this was actually going to work and if it would look cheap, but it's well made, sturdy, and looks pretty cool. You can use other liquor bottles. Don't be fooled by the empty bottle and lack of weight. I tried full bottles of unopened wine, and it's held up really well. For the price point, you can't beat it, and you will definitely get lots of compliments!" — KGP Get it from Amazon for $15.90+ (available in four styles and a two-pack). 25.

Promising review:" These hooks are so cute and surprisingly sturdy. I have them in my bathroom to use for hand towels, and they can hold quite a bit. The little black hooks don't like they would hold anything larger than a tissue, but they really work so well. Looks really are deceiving. I haven't tested out the magnetic strength because my bathroom wall is painted, but I was easily able to attach it to my wall with simple thumbtacks. So if you're a renter and feel uneasy about putting nails in the walls for traditional hooks, this is a great alternative." — April T Get a set of three from Amazon for $14.99. 26. A retro-style speaker with a whole lot of features... like a dial-controlled AM/FM radio, Bluetooth capabilities and an aux connection, plus a wireless charger on top! With this old-school beauty, you'll have no excuse why your home is dead silent on a Saturday afternoon. Turn this baby on!! Amazon Fuse Audio is a small business that specializes in retro-style radios and vinyl record players. Promising review: "No, this radio actually sounds like an old-fashioned AM/FM radio, so if you're 50 or older, you'll enjoy it. It actually tunes like an old-fashioned radio and sounds like an old-fashioned radio, but when you stream music from your phone to it, it sounds like what you've gotten used to. You can charge your phone on it, but you have to take the case off your phone. Overall, I love it!" — Stephen P. Ramsey Get it from Amazon for $89.99. 27. A set of color-changing rainbow glasses to make your water, iced coffee, or straight-out-the-fridge Diet Cokes feel a little more magical.

You can install it at the very base of a tree, pots, terrariums, or even children's rooms! Promising review: "I bought this on a whim. We lost a big tree to a storm last summer and were looking 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 $19.99+ (available in two styles). 29. Plus, a set of glow-in-the-dark "tree elves" because what's a fairy door without some actual figurines to go along with it? The next time you look out your window into your backyard, you'll wonder what's at the base of your tree — and then you'll remember it's your army of tree elves... duh! 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.

And they glow in the dark very well." — Jen Get a set of 28 from Amazon for $12.98. 30. An asymmetrical wall mirror to make your home feel upscale, modern, and a little artsy. You can hang it vertically or horizontally (they both look good!) in any space that's in dire need of a new selfie or "let me check myself out real quick" zone. Promising review:"We were hesitant to get the mirror, but I'm happy we did because we LOVE it! It's exactly what we wanted! It's large, and you can hang it vertically or horizontally (some on Amazon you can't). The mirror is great quality and doesn't stretch. It came packed well and wasn't broken. Easy to hang, too!!

A marble board wire cheese cutter to show all of your guests that you mean BUSINESS when it comes to your combo of cheese, crackers, and salami — and maybe a little blackberry jam on the side. 🤭 Leaving this on your countertop is not only elegant, but it'll show people you got the $$$ for truffle gouda, brie, *and* sharp cheddar in this economy.

Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $16.60+ (available in two colors).

Reviewers love how relaxing this is and say it's quite satisfying to see the end result! Amazon, 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.

Also, fun fact: this was one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2023. Promising review:"This was so much fun! I tried three different photos in the tool they give you. It shows you a preview of each painting, which is really helpful when deciding which image to go with. Not every picture came out as good, so definitely try a few!

It'll be a useful gift for them but also a sneaky little gift for you. Promising review:"I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk. That's why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket. The portable chargers take about 30–35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours." — J Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two colors). 18.

I use this all the time for my coffee from Starbucks, and it is amazing! I'll get iced coffee at 9 a.m. and still have ice in it at 7 p.m. I have many Frost Buddy products now, and their entire line is phenomenal. This is definitely a must-have item for coffee or tea drinkers. I love that it also comes with a leakproof lid so that you can put your own drink in there, too.

Yes, please, and thank you. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Emma Lord on our BuzzFeed Shopping team says: "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 $4.98. 22.

Shoppers at stores have asked me where did I buy it because they wanted one too." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 10 colors). 24.

Promising review:"We have had a few other appliances from Nostalgia and we've been very pleased with the brand, so when my wife was looking for a coffee maker and we saw this was Nostalgia brand, the purchase was a no brainer.

Great product for a very reasonable price." — Cajun59 Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99. 6. And a set of framed abstract colorblock prints so your living room can look a little bit less like you have a roommate whose name is Gray Beige and calls all the shots.

A cheerful fruit bowl for a pop of deeply functional color in your kitchen — this thing is secretly also a colander, so you can wash your fruit and leave 'em sitting pretty on the counter to dry. Amazon Promising review: "I LOVE the look of this fruit bowl. I also love that its pedestal minimizes the space it takes up on the counter. I wasn't sure about whether I would like that it is plastic but now consider it a big plus. It keeps the bowl lightweight (but it is still sturdy) and makes it easy to clean. I highly recommend this fruit bowl. I couldn't be more pleased with mine." — Opinion o'Jen Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in three colors). 8.

They're the most realistic-looking fake candles I've bought so far. The 'flame' up close obviously doesn't look real, but from afar, with the flicker setting on, you almost can't tell these aren't real. They also put out a decent amount of light for being fake. Gives my living room a very cozy feel, which is what I wanted. Remote works great as well." — suckerforcats Get a set of three from Amazon for $21.84+ (available in six styles). 10. 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.

Promising review:"I had no privacy in the evenings and was looking for an alternative solution that was not only effective but that would look good, too. After putting these up, I finally have some really effective privacy. It's so nice without everybody being able to see into my windows whenever they please at night. The amazing amount of rainbow effect that happens during the daytime when the sunlight streams through is so neat! My place is flooded with rainbows everywhere. It is better than I pictured!" — Sally Skeleton Get it from Amazon for $6.23+ (available in four designs and 12 sizes) 13. And a deliciously luxe chunky knit blanket so buttery soft, satisfyingly heavy, and beautifully draped that everyone in the house is going to fight over it. Amazon Promising review:"This was a great buy for the money. It is a large, heavier chunky blanket, but soooo soft! I have it at the foot of my bed and I love to snuggle up in it. My grandkids love it too! Bought this to replace a very pricey Pottery Barn one that I had that came unraveled. This one is so much softer and heavier." — Rebecca Dobbs Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). 14.

Promising review: "Love these! Wasn't ready to splurge on Estelle stemmed glasses so I got these instead. I've run them through the dishwasher once so far, and they held up fine. Glass is thin near the top, which I love in a wineglass. I would recommend!" — Tricia Get a set of six from Amazon for $49.99. 15. A stylish modern upholstered bench so pretty you'll be like, "But what is it for?" Until you use it so many ways you'll wonder, "What isn't it for?" Reviewers love this as a catch-all at the entryway, a chic update on the boring coffee table look, and as extra sitting space on the edge of their beds. Wayfair Promising review: "Bought this to put under my window looking out into the backyard into the trees. It's lovely. Very sturdy. I got the beige, the material is great. It was packaged in one piece. Finally had something I didn't have to put together, lol — that was nice. Went to my niece's home in another state and she had one in a different color in her entryway. She used it as a seat to put on shoes and take off shoes when entering her home. Great minds and all that. It looks great in her home too. Can recommend without hesitation." — Katharine Get it from Wayfair for $259.99+ (available in five colors). 16.

Amazon Promising review:"I'm an incoming freshman this fall and I bought this to add some personality to my dorm. It has beyond exceeded my expectations! I placed it directly on top of my dorm bed as shown in the display photos and am so pleased with how it looks. It fits perfectly with the gray/white color scheme I was going for and have received numerous compliments from both my friends and RAs when they've visited. I cannot stress enough how much of an 'aesthetic feel' it adds to my dorm." — jhsgf Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in four styles). 18. A darling "Candle By The Hour" beehive candle with an absolutely genius concept — once you light it, it only burns until the flame reaches the tip of the little extinguisher, so you don't have to worry about forgetting an open flame. This version is especially cute because you get to decorate the little bees on it yourself! This is made of beeswax and designed to burn for a total of 70 hours! Promising review:"I bought two of these candles, the bigger one and the small one. They are so freaking cute! They look and feel 100% like the pictures! My daughters and I had fun decorating the wax with the toy bees. I lit them for the first time because the lights went out and I was scared at first because I didn't think they would go out, they 100% go out and I was so relieved I lit some more and went to bed. I am just so glad I got these." — Melissa Gray Get it from Amazon for $24.70. 19. A record/magazine/Cool Stuff holder that'll not only help you organize your books and records, but will give you the opportunity to make your favorite things part of the decor. Promising review:"I didn't want anything too bulky on my nightstand but I like to have several books I like to read in bed.

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 highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun piece of decor! Get it from Amazon for $28.95. 22. A flower petal-shaped velvet chair so you can take "sitting pretty" as literally as possible. Reviewers love that the setup was a total breeze and that the chair is even comfier than it looks. Amazon Promising review: "This chair surprised me! The chair is much more lush and sturdy than I expected and has some nice weight to it! All you do is attach the legs to the top portion, and you are done. Super easy to assemble and very comfy.

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 $7.98. 24. 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. 25. A light up rain cloud essential oil diffuser that looks like it was pulled out of your dizziest daydreams.

Works great as a diffuser with a few drops of your favorite essential oils, too." — Krissy Get it from Amazon for $39.98. 26. 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. 27. A roll of floral-scented patterned drawer liners so you can add some pure loveliness to your morning routine whenever you're picking out your 'fit of the day.

Promising review:"Rug is stunning!! Our kitchen has accent colors of cobalt blue, and it's perfect (we got the blue medallion), really ties everything together. Great wide runner, true to size. This is NOT a fuzzy rug; more of a velvety fabric with the pattern printed onto it. Which is great for high traffic areas and easy cleaning.

If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about story a quarter of the bottle of syrup.

Paper Peony Press is a Texas-based boutique publishing company that specializes in purpose-driven books. Promising review:"I've tried several instructional books on hand lettering. This book is the best by far. I won't say the names of the other books but suffice it to say they are all at the top of the list when you search for hand lettering. It is the only book that gives practice for the base strokes and also discusses posture and how to hold the pen and at what angle to the paper. It is also a lovely book to work with; nice art work/illustrations. I recommend this book to other beginners out there!" — Karen Rorick Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 23.

Promising review: "Small, cute, functional clock. It's simple and user-friendly. Great for travel or to use at home. It emits no ticking sound, perfect for those who need silence at night, and has a standard beep alarm. I've used it as a bedside alarm clock and have found it to be accurate. I've used it simply to display in the living room as well, because it looks great anywhere! It's only downside is there doesn't seem to be a light/glowing hands to determine the time in the dark if needed, which can be helpful if you're using it as a bedside alarm. Otherwise, it's a great clock." — Kinsey Maneval Get it from Amazon for $20.49+ (available in three colors). 24.

I have been through many high-end blenders that have broken or just didn't cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn't leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I've never written a review here before, but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it's so cute on the counter!" – Casey Get it from Amazon for $35.47+ (available in two colors). 25.

Promising review:"We have had a few other appliances from Nostalgia and we've been very pleased with the brand, so when my wife was looking for a coffee maker and we saw this was Nostalgia brand, the purchase was a no brainer. It looks great on our counter, it works pretty much like every other coffee pot, and the reusable filter is a great touch too. And my wife swears this coffee is better than the last coffee maker." — G. King Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three colors). 27.

A retro radio tissue holder so old-timey precious that you'll be a little bit?? EXCITED??? For allergy season???

Each set comes with a rolling suitcase with telescoping handles and a matching briefcase. Promising review: "If you're debating whether to get them, do it! They look far more high-end than the price you pay for them, and they're sturdier than I'd hoped. My daughter also has a set in another color, and she flew to and from Hawaii with them (and their covers) with success. I can't say enough good things about this set. In fact, I plan to purchase the larger piece for air travel, now that I know that they hold up well, and are roomy and secure." — Lance and Yolanda Get it from Amazon for $219+ (available in two sizes and six colors). 33. A retro-style toaster that is not only cute as a button, but has some very useful buttons — including "bagel" and "defrost" options that are total game changers for anyone who considers themselves a true fan of carbs. Promising review:"The color is perfect, and my first slices of toast were too. It's easy to adjust. I used the included guide with pictures to adjust the knob based on how dark I like my toast. It was exactly how I like it. My old toaster was basically giving me warm bread. Not this little baby. I'm so happy I found it and that I didn't wait to buy it." — Shytel Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in 10 colors) 34.
