38 Fun Yet Practical Things
A pack of arugula seeds in case you're looking for a new hobby, want an extra splash of green in your yard, or just have a very hungry rabbit to feed. Arugula is quick and easy to grow, making it a fun beginner plant for newbies! A set of vintage-inspired spoons — if these aren't cottagecore, I don't know what is. Set them out at your next tea party and let the compliments roll in. Praise for your good taste? Sweeter than two lumps of sugar. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer made up of tiny liposome capsules that pop and spread a vitamin C and niacinamide-boosted formula that works to brighten and smooth your complexion. Reviewers said they saw the brightening effects after just a few uses! Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix in a variety of exciting, summer-ready flavors ranging from watermelon to pina colada. Besides being delicious, the electrolyte powder is formulated to help hydrate faster than plain water. It also just tastes good so you might be more likely to drink more in general. A catnip wall mount with four different-flavored balls so your kitty can perform a taste test and decide their favorite. It's basically a bourbon flight for cats — that's so cool! They'll be too preoccupied sampling the goods to scream at you for treats for at least a solid 15 minutes (a century in hungry cat time). Reviewers confirm it sticks to the wall as expected, and their cats love it. A pack of self-heating lavender eye masks to help you get in the zone and let off some steam if upcoming summer travel plans, that one broken AC, an ant infestation, etc., have got you STRESSED! Just open, pop one on, and it'll heat up to 113 degrees — no microwave needed. Reviewers note that these are also great for headache relief. An expanding file folder you can fill with up to 200 pieces of paper and free up sooo much desk space. As an accordion folder follower, I have to say these things are top-notch for organizing everything from restaurant menus to ticket stubs. A pack of seasoning bombs that create delicious tinga sauce for your chicken and veggies in a flash. Toss one into a pot, slow cooker, or pressure cooker with your meat and/or vegetables and enjoy a foolproof meal that can feed up to 12 people. A miniature Stanley tape measurer keychain so you no longer have to wonder how tall something is and try to guesstimate with your hands. This would come in clutch when furniture shopping or calling out a date for lying about their height (JK, JK). A set of 10 retractable Crayola markers, which honestly should have always existed. How many of us suffered the fate of losing a marker cap or attempted to color only to find the red has completely dried out? Kids these days have it easy — just click and a fresh marker tip pops out, ready for art. A Capri Blue Volcano-scented multipurpose cleaner — yes, that's right, the signature Anthropologie scent — to make cleaning feel extra rewarding. Now you can clean and leave behind a luxurious scent that'll have guests looking at your home in a new light. Was it always so chic in here? A set of LED lightsaber chopsticks to make fights over the last dumpling extra dramatic. They can change colors (red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor) so you can either make them match or change to red and blue to recreate The Duel on Cloud City. A Miffy humidifier that — OK, everyone stop squealing! I know it's cute! Anyway, this lil' gadget doubles as a night-light and is super easy to clean and refill. Place it next to your plants, by your bedstand, or truly anywhere because it's so small and portable. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, in case you've always wanted to not only drink the energizing tea, but also wear it. This cult-fave can help quickly minimize eye puffiness and swelling using its combination of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. All for less than the price of a six-pack of White Label! A reusable grocery bag that's all that and a bag of chips. Literally! The ruffle print bag comes with a lil' faux chips bag pouch for easy storing. Itty-bitty, collapsible storage crates in soothing pastel colors to give your knickknacks the vinyl record treatment. Listen, you don't have to throw away your mountain of pilfered condiment packets, but they'd look a lot nicer in one of these. A set of cowboy straw toppers that add a little "don't mess with Texas" vibe to your water bottle by protecting the drinking straw from strangers bumping into it. Look how cute this bottle looks with a lil' hat on! It thinks it's people. :') A sweet little fish who swims around in your humidifier tank, inhibiting the growth of buildup for up to 30 days. Now you can go longer between washes and maybe avoid the dreaded brown sludge that appears in some humidifiers. A USB-C charging cube that looks like Susan Kare's smiling macintosh that yep, lights up when it's plugged in. You probably already have a charger, but is it this cute??? The TikTok-loved Maldon flaked salt packaged in a box so beautiful, you'll be hesitant to ever open it. Of course, you should, because everything from fish to brownies tastes better with a dash of really nice sea salt. A Tonymoly octopus-shaped blackhead remover designed to exfoliate and gently scrub away excess sebum. Rub this dead sea salt-infused formula all over your face to loosen up blackheads and other skin impurities, leaving your skin feeling sparkly and fresh. Iridescent pimple patches in fun shapes like hearts and stars because zapping zits might as well feel like an art project. I wish all problems could be solved with a sticker. Place one on an open pimple, and it can protect and help speed up the healing process. A cutie pie planner to help you be a busy bee, or more likely a take-it-slow sloth. There's room for appointments, errands, and people to in due time. A Godzilla microwave cleaner that shoots out cleansing steam instead of lasers. Not as cool, but definitely more helpful. Just fill the silicone tool up with water and vinegar, microwave it, and then marvel at how you found a cleaning supply that's actually fun. A disco ball watering globe to make your plant feel like they're at their own personal dance party. It'll keep your plant hydrated between watering sessions and, when the sun hits just right, create a fun light show in your home. That's a lot of benefits from what seemed like an impractical purchase at first. 🤔 A bear-y nice under-eye stick formulated with skincare darling niacinamide, along with soothing Icelandic mineral water and seaweed extract, to soothe puffiness and dark circles. If a beauty item isn't shaped like an animal, is it even worth getting? A clever two-sided travel cup for people who need several drinks throughout the day (one to hydrate, one to take the edge off, one to add the edge back, etc). Fill with two of your desired drinks and marvel that you can bring both coffee *and* water to your next meeting and still have a hand free for your laptop. A pair of aromatherapy gemstone soaps sure to make your guests' bathroom experience seriously rock. Dad jokes aside, these soaps come in amazing fragrances (think: lavender, lemongrass, sandalwood, etc.) and have real crystals inside, like amethyst and tiger eye. A giant pack of *100* Welly fabric bandages with the amazing ability to change colors in the sunlight! Watch in awe as a scrape becomes a magical work of art. 😎 A can of whipped crea— I mean, sunscreen that just looks like dessert, so don't eat it, OK? This tasty-looking skincare will make you feel like a cherry pie instead of looking like one (baked to a crisp). A magnetic meal planning pad with a super cute, summery design and detachable shopping list so you don't have to hem and haw about what to make for dinner. If you plan out the whole week in advance, maybe you'll finally be able to finish an entire bag of spinach! A set of vinyl coasters offering a retro (and super cute) way to protect your furniture from condensation. Guests that actually want to use a coaster? How the turntables. A fanciful mushroom kitchen timer, which is so much more endearing than using your phone or screaming at Alexa. It also has a glowing 4.5-star rating on Amazon, which is kinda unheard of for novelty timers. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set that looks cute *and* helps you avoid cross-contamination at a quick glance. I would say this also saves time having to pull each knife out of the block to check the blade, but *obviously* you're going to have these on display. A charming waterproof shelf liner to protect your fridge from stains and give it a little glow-up. Who knew the inside of a fridge could be An intriguing foaming drain cleaner for anyone who misses playing with shaving cream as a kid. Just press the can onto your drain, and the deodorizing foam will force dirt and clogs out of your pipes. Leave your gross dessert-like concoction for about an hour and then rinse it away. Cleaning sinks, bathtubs, and floor drains can actually be fun if you do it right. An absorbent floral dish drying mat you can use under a dish rack or *as* the dish rack. The pretty design will look great next to your sink, under your pet's bowls, or by your espresso machine. Thanks to its absorption powers, coffee stains will disappear before your eyes. DedCool dryer sheets for fragrance lovers who want their signature scent to extend to their freshly laundered clothing. They come in two of DedCool's beloved scents: Xtra Milk (light and musky) and 01 taunt (sweet and fresh).

I Bet Even Seasoned Shoppers Haven't Seen At Least Half Of These 29 Products
Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — a new iteration of the TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion — that uses the same swoon-worthy scent of whipped vanilla, musk, and soft caramel. Use this scrumptious oil to protect your skin from any razor mishaps; reviewers love that it helps them avoid razor burn and get an extra close shave. A jar of sticky cubes offering a way to build structurally unsound creations. You can create tiny sculptures, stick them on windows (or your face), squeeze 'em — and when you're done, there's a strainer in the jar for easy rinsing. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer made up of tiny liposome capsules that pop and spread a vitamin C and niacinamide-boosted formula that works to brighten and smooth your complexion. Reviewers said they saw the brightening effects after just a few uses! A pack of strawberry candles that do a very good impression of the real thing — they even smell like fruit when burned! Imagine these on a strawberry shortcake instead of birthday candles. Incredible. Promising reviews: "I will buy these over and over again because of how perfect they are for birthdays or even to gift to loved ones." —MacKenzie "Smells like the strawberry shortcake dolls I had when I was a little kid. You go through life chasing after snips and snaps of days of yore, and sometimes you find them where you least expect them, on Amazon. Small, strawberry-sized, very cute, and smells like childhood memories." —dianamightGet a pack of four from Amazon for $10.99. A miniature Stanley tape measurer keychain so you no longer have to wonder how tall something is and try to guesstimate with your hands. This would come in clutch when furniture shopping or calling out a date for lying about their height (JK, JK). Teeny-tiny onigiri vases who look thrilled by the opportunity to hold your new clippings and flower buds. Each smiling rice ball is handcrafted, so they're all unique. A rubber hot dog that would be going triple-platinum viral on dog TikTok if such a thing existed. Spokespersons for the happy canine customers are writing glowing reviews saying the toy is indestructible and perfect for aggressive chewers. A cylindrical ice mold designed for 40-ounce Stanley mugs and similar tumblers so you can get a solid serving of ice in there and still have room for your straw. The silicone mold makes three different-sized ice cylinders that fit in different sections of the tumbler. Sour blue raspberry gushers for masochist snackers who think their tongue has had it way too easy. One reviewer says these are 4–5 levels MORE sour than Sour Skittles. 🫣 A ~cat-a-pult~ so you can pelt your desk neighbor when they start chewing too loudly. Take that, Pete from accounting! A customizable cookie stamp you can fit with any letters you'd like to spell out special messages. This is ideal for birthdays and themed parties, but I'm also envisioning passive-aggressive baked goods. A canine version of the TikTok-famous Kanoodle Puzzle so your pup can get some brain-stimulating fun, too. Unlike the human version, the goal is to get all the pieces *off* the board so they can reap their reward. A smudge-correcting clear nail polish for the next time you do your nails and then realize you have to pee right away. Now you can risk a couple of crinkled nails and be rest assured that a solution is one swipe away. A bag of Sakura latte powder made in Japan. Add the cherry blossom mix to hot water or milk for a tasty drink, or mix the powder into baked goods like cakes and pancakes. Maybe even a cocktail???

Promising review: "This is my first time purchasing a large stamp set on Amazon so I wasn't sure which set I should go with. I wanted something for journaling and this set seemed to have a nice variety of productivity stamps. I love the fact that they are rubber stamps, and they print clearly on paper. They're not too big or small either." —BeautybydesyGet a set of 18 from Amazon for $16.99. A capybara mug — complete with a lil' orange hat! — to hold your morning tea or coffee. What better way to start the day than with amazing company? A new White Lotus cocktail recipe book with 60 drinks (including mocktails) inspired by all three seasons' locales. I personally will NOT be drinking any pina coladas you make after reading this but will be happy to try a Full Moon Margarita or Vacation Morning Run. "Gloves In A Bottle," the perfect solution for people who have NOT been wearing gloves this past winter and are still paying the price. The effective lotion helps de-crocodile your skin and protect it for up to 12 hours, even if you wash your hands. A whiskey glass that looks like it was on the receiving end of a really intense dice throw. The design is a nat20 in my book. :) Talking Hearts — a deck of conversation cards for couples looking to deepen their connection or just pass the time on a long trip. There are 200 questions, plus two wild cards to keep conversation flowing. A flat outlet extender so you can finally plug stuff in behind the couch.

Reviewers love the subtle, sweet scent, and many claim they've had some romantic success after wearing it!

At this Miami marketplace, small business owners find community and learn to grow
Growing up in Kendall in the '90s, Liz Ceballos was like many young people at the time — she wanted to work at her local mall. 'I had a love for fashion, and I started working part-time at 16 at Dadeland Mall,' Ceballos, 45, told the Miami Herald. 'I loved to be around clothes and people.' That passion for fashion has since blossomed into something she never imagined. Ceballos now relies upon her decades of retail experience as the organizer of Capsule, a marketplace at Allapattah's River Landing Shops designed to support small business owners, including many Latina entrepreneurs. At Capsule, shop owners have their own spaces to sell their products, creating something akin to an indoor farmers market. Ceballos helps them understand how they can improve their businesses and work together to share customers. Capsule has space for between 12 to 20 businesses, depending on the size of the space required by tenants. There are also opportunities for a different set of vendors to sell their products in front of the store every Sunday and on the last Saturday of the month. Almost all of Capsule's tenants started out as vendors selling products on tables in front of the space itself or at farmers markets. 'I like seeing the evolution of businesses that start small. Seeing that happen is such a proud moment,' Ceballos said. When Ceballos was working her mall jobs as a teen, she was also a student at Miami Killian. By her senior year, she had already begun learning store management, and she continued to work in retail after her 1998 graduation. After a brief hiatus from retail where Ceballos worked as a flight attendant, she returned to Miami in 2005 and pivoted back into the retail sector. When the company she was working for had layoffs in 2019, Ceballos decided to put her retail experience to work and, within six weeks of her job ending, launched a clothing business. The challenge of starting a business proved to be a learning experience. 'I have background experience in managing big teams, but it's different when you're by yourself,' she said. The first few months for Ceballos' business went well — until the start of the pandemic in March 2020. She quickly realized that people weren't buying clothes because they were generally staying at home. 'I just thought of ways to pivot, because I wasn't going to give up,' she said. 'I started selling fun fashionable masks.' As COVID-19 restrictions lessened, Ceballos began attending farmers markets and created an Instagram account called Herpreneur By Liz to showcase the different small business owners she met. But Ceballos noticed ways that their businesses could be improved. Some business owners needed social media profiles and websites to better engage their customers. For others, an improved customer service experience could make a difference. 'People missed out on opportunities,' she said. As Ceballos' videos featuring small businesses gained traction on her social media, she began producing events that featured local woman-owned businesses. By 2024, Ceballos had built a reputation for producing pop-up markets throughout South Florida. After her pop-up market at River Landing did well, representatives from the shopping center asked her to come onboard as a business consultant for Capsule. In her new role, Ceballos' background has given her perspective and credibility that seems to resonate with the other small business owners in the space. 'I have my clothing boutique in there, and we are all brainstorming on ideas around collaborative things we can do to work together and make a stronger impact,' she said. For example, they might post social media content that features clothing from one person's business and shoes from another — or encourage customers to take the same mix-and-match approach. At a time when e-commerce has taken over and people are quick to shop online, Ceballos believes concept stores like Capsule represent a positive future for in-person retail. She sees that small business owners can band together to achieve success rather than spending more money to lease or buy their own space. She has also noticed how customers respond to being a part of that community. 'It's a totally different, unique experience, and the customer feels that connection,' she said. Seeing small businesses elevate themselves in real time is something that empowers Ceballos, and she wants to keep seeing that moving forward. 'I want to continue to support the small business community and my community platform,' she said.

Mango signs up Kaia Gerber as latest brand ambassador
Mango is linking up with supermodel and actress Kaia Gerber for a brand ambassadorship, but it's not just a 'face of' deal with the retailer calling it a 'collaboration' that will run throughout the year. She's summing up its new concept, Craft your own story, that 'speaks of the freedom to be whoever we want to be at any given momento'. Mango said she 'embodies the spirit of Craft your own story, the brand's concept that aims to underline how fashion can help us to show our different sides and present ourselves to the world with the multiplicity of aspects that define us'. She follows in along line of the best-known models and actresses (Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz, Kendall Jenner) who've fronted the brand globally. Called out as a Gen Z favourite, Gerber is said to 'perfectly represent the spirit of our times [and] comes to explain how the clothes we choose can be tools with which to build our own identity and history with strength, style and determination'. To start, Gerber is fronting the new edition of Caspule, 'the most elevated collection to dress up at the most special events'. For her debut campaign, she's been shot by photographer Stef Mitchell in dresses from the new Capsule collection that are dotted with embroidered flowers and hand-stitched fringes.
