The glittery cat coasters and Spider-Man earrings will have your heart doing the waltz.
1. A mini inflatable tube guy you can place on your desk to add a bit of quirkiness to your boring ol' work routine.
It even comes with a 32-page mini-book exploring the origins of the flailing arm man. Batteries are not included.
Promising review:"OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" — Mark
Get it from Amazon for $8.58.
2. A"Gracula" garlic crusher, because if Damon Salvatore isn't available to help you whip something up in the kitchen, at least this lil' Dracula can. You don't need to be Elena Gilbert to get the help of an ancient immortal choppin' up your garlic for your famous lasagna.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I've minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It's a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it's not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" — Barbie
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
3. A NeeDoh sensory toy to help you concentrate on that paperwork and Excel sheet you've been putting off — all of which may become a bit easier for you as you fidget away with this goo-filled glob.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets.
Promising review: "High quality and very durable! This cube is fantastic for any age and any need. The cube provides slight resistance when compressed, which is both stress-relieving and satisfying!!! Once squeezed, it quickly returns to its natural shape. A great choice!" — Joe stevenson
Get it from Amazon for $7.64 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random, available in three styles).
4. A "Fluffie Stuffiez" — in other words, a pick-apart ASMR cloud plush that'll make the most satisfying fidget toy ever. This lil' cloud is covered in a white fluff you can pick and prod at, revealing a different color plush underneath. But don't worry about the mess, you can simply stuff the extra fluff into the adorable included container to make another little friend out of it! Kids and adults alike will have fun with this stress reliever!
A few reviewers with trichotillomania swear by this as a helpful alternative for picking tendencies.
Promising review: "I have a tendency to pick at my clothes when I'm bored and have nothing else to occupy my time with. I got this toy to see if it would scratch that itch and save my clothes from my boredom. It worked much better than I thought it would. The outer layer to pluck has a soft wooly feel and the under layer is very soft. Some of the strands were a bit stuck and took some effort, but most came out with only a little effort. I'll probably get some more if I know I'm going to be away from home for a while." — Terras
Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (and check out dozens of other versions on the Fluffie Stuffiez Amazon storefront!).
5. A ravioli spoon rest to prove to the whole family once and for all just who the ultimate pasta lover is! Plus, it'll keep those sauce droplets off your stove — because every cook knows just how not fun it is to clean up.
www.amazon.com, 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 $15.25.
6. "You Need To Calm Down: A Coloring Book," designed by Swifities, for Swifities. You can follow the Eras tour as you flip through the 45 pages, allowing you a chance to relive your concert fun from the comfort of your couch.
Psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon for $8.99!
Promising review: "I never thought I would enjoy adult coloring as much as I do with this book. It provides many opportunities to be creative, mix colors, be whimsical, and enjoy the lyrics." — Sherry
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
7. A spinning disco ball wax warmer with an LED light show because a nice smelling room is always something to party about. Plus, there won't be any open flames you need to remember to blow out at the end of the night... SCORE!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Surprised at the good quality of this product. It works great and heats up wax cubes in no time! Would definitely recommend." — Megan Hughes
Get it from Amazon for $35.97.
8. A container of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust to make every single day feel like Christmas. You can put this on anything from toast to coffee to hot cocoa to yogurt...or even fries and popcorn. Don't worry, I won't judge.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Cinnadust in action.
Promising review: "I would order again, 10 out of 10. Try it on yogurt, ice cream, toast, carrots, and amazingly, I saw a TikTok challenge with it on hard-boiled eggs. It is stupendous!!!" — ThatGuy
Get it from Amazon for $3.44.
9. A lightsaber lamp because the galaxy is in dire need of protection, and you are the chosen one. Will you stay toward the Light, and embrace the Jedi Order by choosing blue? Or will the way of the Sith tempt you into the Dark Side and thus you choose the red glow?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
10. A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel you can use to feel like an elf in a fantasy novel concocting a potion while you funnel your coffee, wine, or baking ingredients.
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).
11. A 5-pound bucket of Crayola Air Dry Clay because you've always wanted to try pottery — but actually taking classes and cleaning up the mess is hard. You can just pull out the clay, shape it, and let it air dry — no oven or cleaning required! After it dries, you can even paint it to make a truly unique work of art.
A lot of reviewers use silicone or plastic molds to get specific shapes!
Promising review: "It's honestly just a really nice material to work with! If you want to create things with clay, this is definitely a good choice! It's definitely not for professional use, but I feel like that's a given? I mean, it is Crayola. But all in all, great for those who want to use it for fun!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.96.
12. Wreck This Journal — it's full of prompts such as "Eat some candy and lick this page" and "Poke holes in this page using a pencil." Write, shred, tear, and create by following the instructions of this unique journal that'll guide you to throw caution to the wind and have fun wrecking everything.
Some of the prompts include one to close the journal and scribble on the edges, another to cutout colors from a magazine and tape them all over the page; another is a "Stain Log," which you can use to classify stains in your life, from red wine to nail polishes to food dyes. Basically, if you turn the page in this journal, odds are it's going to look *nothing* like it originally did by the time you're through.
Promising review:"We purchased this journal for our daughter, and she has loved using it. Each page of this journal gives you something to do, whether it's coloring the entire page red or ripping the papers out. I think it shows how creative a journal can be by simply doing things a little differently." — Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $9.19.
13. And a " Grievance Journal," a book you can use to air out all your outrage without accidentally turning it on that one coworker of yours (iykyk 👀). This darkly satisfying journal comes with 52 prompts that'll have you jotting down your deepest grievances or pettiest inconveniences. The Dark Side awaits 😈...
Amazon
Promising review: "Bought this intending to gift it to a friend but ended up getting really into the prompts and decided to keep it for myself. WOW, what an awesome way to vent and articulate the negativity you're feeling by actually forcing yourself to form coherent thoughts around your emotions. Cheaper and more effective than therapy, buying several more for friends and fam." — Alex
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
14. A set of Goldfish fridge magnets, cleverly called "Holdfish," to smile back at you as they hold up your most precious memories on the fridge for all the world to see.

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 (available in green or green and blue as well as a set of 10).
16. A 14-day spinning pill dispenser because taking your meds on time is a chore, but if it's romanticized into a lil' wheel dispenser, maybe then you'll ~actually~ remember to do it. You can even attach it to a wall so that your daily dose of vitamins is far from any little one's reach.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the pill dispenser in action.
Promising review:"So I am horrible about remembering if I took my pills. And I HATE digging into the old pill boxes or doing the tip over. I don't know what it is, but i have always disliked it. I hung this on my wall right by the kitchen so I pass it like 5,000 times a day and I can't not see it. It is so fun pushing the little orange button to watch the meds fall out. I mean it kind of feels like a really weird game of Wheel of Fortune, but I like it." — Grofica
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in four colors).
17. A set of cloud-shaped water bottle straw toppers to add a bit of personality to your constant hydrating companion — i.e., your Stanley Cup. Plus, it'll help keep your straw free from any dust or dirt!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"We get compliments all the time on these little straw covers. They're so cute, and I like that our straws are covered when we're out and about, since a lot of our time is spent in doctor's offices. Germs, germs, everywhere." — AM Buyer
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $4.99.
18. And a dual beverage Stanley cup separator because you want coffee and you want water, but you certainly DON'T wanna carry two separate bottles. Now you no longer have to sacrifice your daily water intake just because you can't possibly go without your beloved macchiato.

19. A set of magnetized balloon wall hooks so you can hang up everything from jewelry, to keys, to your hand towels — but like... in a ~whimsical~ way.
You can either stick them on the wall using the three included adhesive pads, hang them on a screw or nail (not included), or simply put the magnetic back of them on your fridge.
Promising review:"It's a beautiful and unique hook. We use it as a magnet on our fridge and our garage entry door and on a nail for our wall. It can hold up to stuff less than a pound on the hook easily. Though simply as a decoration, not bad at all." — Preet Bawa
Get a set of three from Amazon for $14.99.
20. A set of pastel glitter highlighters for the Type-A people out there who love to aesthetically color code their notes, minutes, journals, or books — but wanna do it with a bit of ✨sparkle✨.

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.99.
21. A three-tier ring floor lamp that can bring some mood lighting to your room in the most sophisticated way possible. It even has three adjustable brightness settings to really set the ambiance.
Brightech is a California-based small business that specializes in home lighting.
Promising review: "The light is nice! It's a unique-looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I'd definitely recommend it to others." — Carmelita Joy
Get it from Amazon for $71.99+ (clip the 10% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in four colors).

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 cups from Amazon for $8.99 (available in white and pink, plus sets of 12 and 24).

This is a fun craft similar to a paint-by-numbers set — it comes with all the tools necessary for a fun DIY activity!
Promising review:"The designs and colors are the same as shown on Amazon. Finished coasters sparkle, and the vibrant colors create eight very cute cats. There were plenty of beads to complete the project, and adhesion was excellent. Letters and numbers were sharp and easy to follow. I am delighted with these coasters." — PackLeaderJ

27. A pillow-shaking alarm clock if you're the type of person who has to set, like, seven alarms just to ensure you wake up on time (and even then, it's kind of a toss-up on whether or not you actually get up). This uses a "shaker" mode to gently vibrate under your pillow to wake you up, and if that doesn't work, there's an option for an alarm so loud that they call it a "sonic bomb." Maybe now you'll actually be able to make it to work on time.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Sonic Alert is a small business that specializes in alarm clocks.
Promising review: "This alarm is amazing. The pillow shaker does its job to perfection. The shaker shakes the pillow just right so you don't wake up startled. The loud alarm is loud enough. I wear a hearing aid to hear everything, and the loud alarm is loud enough that I can hear it without my hearing aid. Must have for someone with hearing issues so you wake up on time every time." — Scott D.
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in six colors).
28. A silly cow-themed cheese holder to store and display your cheese slices in the most a-mooo-zing way.

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.

Promising review: "Fun for ALL ages! Recently remembered how fun these were. I have a smaller daughter, so it gave me an excuse to buy these. They're secretly for me — half kidding. These are so simple to use and create great crafts. These will keep your little one's imagination going, occupied and helps practice fine motor skills. I would definitely recommend to ANYONE, not just little humans." — Alex Soper

33. A dimmable sad duck night-light because on the days you're feelin' derpy and deflated, this cute lil' duck will pick your mood up once more.
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
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
34. A frameless standing aesthetic mirror that will ✨zhuzh✨ up that vanity and make it feel like you're dealing with a lot more surface area than you really are.

www.amazon.com
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 $7.78.
38. A cherry toilet brush for anyone who wants to add a bit of ~whimsy~ to their bathroom decor. Most people add a cherry to their cocktail — you, however? You will use it to add a tropical flair to the latrine.

Girls Crew
Girls Crew is a woman-owned small business that makes their own brand of jewelry, and has the right to create some jewelry for some huge IP's like Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, and Harry Potter.
Soooo I absolutely ADORE Girls Crew. I own this exact earring (I'm currently wearing it as I type), and I've been a fan of this company since I discovered them way back in 2023. They're great quality, and look absolutely as amazing in real life as they do in the picture. As someone who is superrr careful about the jewelry I purchase (I'm super picky), I tentatively bought my first pair a few years ago. Imagine my surprise, and extreme joy, when I received them and saw how well-crafted and beautiful they were. I instantly went back to the website and bought like a bunch more pieces.
Do I own like eight other pieces of jewelry from them? Yes. Yes I do. Loki studs and ring? Got 'em. Slytherin earrings and ring? Got 'em. Black Panther ring and necklace? Yup and yup. Spiderman studs? Got that too. A Rapunzel ring? Yuppity yup yup! I honestly cannot recommend them enough.
Get it from Girls Crew for $42 (available in three metals).
