This "breathing partner" is also great for kids! A mini metal sword bookmark that'll keep your majesty (that's you) from losing your place in the romance novel you're reading right now.

Equipped with capes tied around their necks, this trio of cats is ready for their first mission! A ceramic Stranger Things-inspired mug because you're still not over a certain Dungeon Master's death, and being able to toast to his bravery and sick guitar skills every morning with a hot cup of coffee might make the mourning process a little easier. A silicone suction phone case mount so you can slap your phone to a wall, press record, and get your Influencer™ on!

This cutie patootie has a ventilated shoe compartment on the bottom as well as a PVC-lined "wet pocket" so you can separate your damp bikini or sweaty post-workout 'fit from your clean and dry clothes. And to make matters BETTER, it's also got a built-in USB port so you can charge your phone while on the go! A pack of eight spicy margarita instant cocktail tea bags, because as cute as it is to go out and spend upwards of $20 on just one at home in your coziest loungewear is also a really ~intoxicating~ idea. All you have to do is let it steep for three minutes in a combination of water and spirits (I'd obvi go with tequila here), and your fave summery drink is good to go! A dimmable sad duck night-light who is just oh so relatable. He just needs to lie down real quick forever. This night-light has a 30-minute timer so you don't have to get up and turn it off before falling asleep.

A drop test-certified Casetify iPhone case if you just splurged on the iPhone 16 Pro and don't want it to end up like your last several iPhones (read: scratched and cracked) that now live in the great scrapyard in the sky. Plus, there are so many prints, it'll be nearly impossible NOT to find one that fits your style. And if your style changes every other week, I'd recommend getting several just in ~iPhone case~. A silicone red crab utensil rest that can sit on the edge of your pots and pans while you cook. It'll do the heavy lifting of holding a spoon when it's not in use. A waterproof shower phone holder, because you've got TikToks to watch, and needing to wash your hair shouldn't get in the way of that. This dual-layered anti-fog phone holder offers 360 degrees of protection because your phone is your life and should be treated as such. A set of pastel glitter highlighters to add a little sparkle to your notes and to-do lists! These fun metallic highlighters might just make getting through your To Be Read pile a little more fun.

A mini pool table for cats that actually acts as a scratching post. If your kitty is a bit of a pool shark, you might not wanna tempt them with such a fun toy. It also comes with two feather teaser pool sticks and six colorful felt balls. A Lego flower bouquet building kit if you're too much of a liability when it comes to living plants. These gorgeous and immortal flowers are not only fun to put together, but they're a fun decoration all year long. A "Gracula" garlic crusher — just because the Count has a garlic aversion doesn't mean he can't help you mince a little for your homemade pasta sauce. And it'll only take a few seconds! A super handy mini answer wheel for when there's no one around to help you decide whether or not to take a nap break. Just spin this wheel and if it lands on "sounds great," well, you have your answer. A retro Victrola Bluetooth record player that is waaaay more modern than it seems. It can play vinyl records (obvi), CDs (hey, elder millennials), cassettes (good day, Gen X'ers), AM/FM radio, and music from your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Phillies closer Jhoan Durán's entrance still has legs
Every superhero has a calling card — and Durantula's viral entrance has crawled its way to Philly. Why it matters: Citizens Bank Park was already one of baseball's most fearsome places to play, and now it's more dangerous for opponents when the lights cut off for Jhoan Durán 's intimidating intro. The big picture: When the Phillies acquired one of baseball's best closers, they also got the game's best choreographed entrance — which the Minnesota Twins had perfected to match Durán's imposing nickname: Durantula, per The Athletic. Durán debuted his trademark trot-in wearing a Phillies jersey over the weekend, and Citizens Bank gave it a very Philly spin. How it works: The Liberty Bell-inspired Undertaker bell — borrowed from the WWE wrestler — tolls as the lights cut off at the Bank. Then a custom mashup of "El Incomprendido" by Farruko and "Hot" by Pitbull and Daddy Yankee fills the stadium speaker. Durán trots out while his flame-embossed name and a giant tarantula crawl across the stadium's LED screen and fans raise their camera-phone flashlights. What they're saying: The Twins communications department spent more than 500 hours creating the entrance. They never hesitated about sharing it with the Phillies when Durán was traded. "It's the right thing to do," Minnesota's vice president of communications Dustin Morse told The Athletic. "This is for the greater good of baseball fans."
