Promising review: "Exactly as described! Well worth the price. Toddlers can use it with supervision and a soft landing on the stairway in our house. Easy to put on stairs, bed, or couch — my kids slide everywhere in the house! You can make it as big as you'd like. When put all together and steep it does go really fast, so be cautious. It's very strong and durable! It's easy to collapse and put away onto itself in a corner or out of sight. Takes five seconds to put back up. No damage has been done to furniture or stairs. It has tired the kids out and also made them laugh so hard! All three take turns over and over again. We love it." — Jess
Get it from Amazon for $243.99+ (available in sets of four or eight).
17. A kitty-shaped mug warmer to keep your drink ~purr-fectly~ warm (instead of pushing it off the table just for funsies...just my cat?). You can also use it with candles and wax melts.
If you hate how expensive candles are (same!) you can save money buy using this to warm the wax, which releases the scent but doesn't deplete the candle. Also, no fire = no fire hazard. The paws can be used to hold your phone, but I would recommend using that feature only when the mug warmer is cool and not in use.
Promising reviews: "I thought I'd try putting my wax melt in there and see how long it would take to melt. It took less than five minutes to melt it!! Also, it feels kinda heavy and dense, like it was made out of good material. I love it. 😭 It's gonna be good for my tea time AND make my office smell good." — Allisen

18. A Stardew Valley sticker for the angler gods among us (maybe you're one of them) who have caught the Legend.
Jellybop Studio / Etsy
Jellybop Studio is a small business based in Toronto. Your purchase helps fund treats for Jellybop the cat.
19. An absolutely massive Bluetooth speaker shaped like an AirPod — yep, that's it. There's nothing else I really need to say about this other than to let you know that reviewers say it's funny and the sound quality is surprisingly good.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I use this at least once a week on remote meetings and everyone loves it as a joke. It's not good at much more than a visual joke, but I consider that for me. Love it." — les campbell
"Got this for my son for Christmas, and he loves it. It's loud, and sound quality is pretty good." — Nayy lashuan
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in two styles).
20. A faux-pearl necklace for your pet. Duh. I don't know how many times I have to explain this.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This necklace is purely decorative and should not be considered a functional collar. Reviewers note that the bow can be removed if your pet doesn't like it.
Promising review: "It's soo pretty! Was worried about the bow potentially falling off, so I added a couple of drops of super glue as a reinforcement. Other than that, this is classy and high quality! It's true to size, fits my furbaby perfectly, and it's adjustable. Doesn't feel flimsy at all!" — Aly
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and four colors).
21. And an equally glam "Bling Thing" calculator because it just makes math more fun. Even if the only math you're doing is simple addition and subtraction for your monthly bills. Boooooo.
Amazon
Promising review:"This calculator is so cute. I get comments and laughs each time I use it. Think Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. It's that type of cute. I love it. Would definitely buy again to give as a gift. Also the display is good size so it's very easy to read. I wish that had different colors, but this is still super cute." — Karen Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $13.07.
22. A quirkly lil' mini ceramic bathtub if you need something a little more "you" to organize knickknacks and hold loose change. It's even got built-in drainage holes for wet sponges and bars of soap.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the mini ceramic bathtub in action.
Promising review:"I ordered two of these. One I used as a regular soap dish in my tub. It has holes for drainage, which is a plus. I also used it as a cute plant decanter. I placed some succulents in it, and voila ... the cutest planter for my bathroom." — Diane Sheehan
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six colors).
23. A Gouda Squishmallow to squeeze during your yearly watch of She's The Man. Bet you didn't think they made cheese plushies! Well, think again! Her name is Mannon!
Amazon
Promising review: "Got this as a birthday gift for my cheese-loving friend. Ideal Squishmallow size, in my opinion!" — Madeleine
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
24. A joyful and super colorful fish bath rug for anyone with enough taste to know that this is a total vibe.
25. A pair of fruit-shaped hand towels so you can stop scrunching your face in disgust when 1) you have to dry your hands with a sopping wet hand towel (They take forever to dry! Why?!) or 2) your towel falls from the oven door handle...yet again. These dry quickly and come with a functional hanging loop.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I purchased one for the kids' bathroom and a smaller fruit for the kitchen. They are soft and dry quickly. They wash well and bring a fun and cute look to any room. They are the perfect size for hanging in the kitchen. Definitely worth the price I paid." — Sher
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.20+ (available in eight colors).
26. A shark onesie because head-to-toe coziness while wrapped in a package that says, "Approach with caution: I may bite." is a mood.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Note: Reviewers mention that you should size up.
Promising review: "I got this for my son, and since the day it came in, he's barely taken it off long enough for me to wash and dry it. He even sleeps in it. Needless to say, he really likes it! Great quality, too." — Jessica flores
Get it from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in sizes XS–XXXL).
27. A set of turtle-shaped toilet bolt caps if your bathroom is lacking the right amount of aquatic creatures. And no, the recurring mildew in your toilet bowl doesn't count.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My daughter's toilet was missing the original caps, so I thought I would give these a try. They are so nice looking!! She loves them. Great quality and fits perfectly over the screw. Going to buy some for my bathroom now! Buy it, you won't regret it." — Valentine Girl

My favourite Switch 2 game is already AU$20.95 off on Amazon — get Donkey Kong Bananza for only AU$89
Recently, I wrote an article on the things I love about my Nintendo Switch 2, and I can now add Donkey Kong Bananza to that list. Apart from being the Switch 2's first major release post-launch, it's arguably the best reason to own the new console to date. Although the game shares some similarities to its development team's previous title, Super Mario Odyssey, Donkey Kong Bananza feels like an entirely fresh approach for Nintendo, thanks to its smashable environments and layered levels, as well as the dynamic movement of its title character. Best of all, Donkey Kong Bananza is just AU$109.95 AU$89 on Amazon right now, which is a solid saving of AU$20.95 on the RRP. Pretty good way to dodge Nintendo's next-gen price hike if you ask me... Donkey Kong Bananza is the first must-have title to release for Nintendo Switch 2 since Mario Kart World, boasting a vast subterranean world that's just waiting to be smashed to pieces. Join DK and Pauline on an epic adventure in search of Banandium Gems. Use DK's fists to smash through the terrain and Pauline's singing abilities to transform DK into various animal forms. Now only AU$109.95 AU$89 on Amazon. I've only played the game for a handful of hours so far, but I'm already hooked on its core mechanic of pummelling the environment to smithereens in search of precious Banandium Gems. In fact, I'm finding it hard to move forward in the game without smashing everything in sight — I may have a problem. But don't just take my word for it — in his Donkey Kong Bananza review, my colleague Anthony Spadafora praised the game's "destructible environments and unique visuals." He also described it as "the 3D Donkey Kong game fans of the character have always wanted", though he did note that there were "some camera issues" and "far too many Banandium Gems to collect in a single playthrough." Of course, those minor quibbles shouldn't stop you from playing one of the best Nintendo games in years — especially now that it's received a sweet 19% discount on Amazon, less than a fortnight after its release. Don't own the Nintendo Switch 2 yet? You can find today's best Switch 2 prices below.

This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake.

This is a true holy grail underwear that doesn't show, doesn't ride up, and somehow manages to look cute all at the same time.
