1. A set of crochet cat butt coasters, 'cause if your felines are already running your home, you might as well lean into it a little.
Promising review: "These kitty coasters are the perfect blend of cute and practical! The craftsmanship is excellent, with intricate details that bring the cat design to life. They’re thick enough to protect my furniture from hot or cold drinks without being bulky. Plus, they add such a fun and cozy touch to my home decor! I’ve received so many compliments on them from guests — they’re definitely a conversation starter. Bonus: they make a fantastic gift for any cat lover. Highly recommend!" —Rene

2. A set of TikTok-famous Globbles you can squeeze, throw, fidget with, and roll to your heart's content. And when you throw them at the wall, they stick without leaving residue behind! Who needs a rage room when you have squishy, nondamaging globs to throw around at home?
Promising review: "I have bought these over and over again for gifts. My own children have played with these balls repeatedly. We even left one on the ceiling to see how long it would stay for. It lasted four months before we decided to take it down. Since they are so sticky, they get dirty pretty quickly. All you have to do is a quick rinse in the sink and an air dry, then you are good to go. Great for adults and children! Will be buying again." —Valerie Young

3. A dimmable sad duck night-light to reassure you that even when you feel a little like flopping on your side and remembering every embarrassing thing you've ever done...you'll still shine bright. Shine bright like a duck light. At least I think that's what Rihanna said.
Promising review: "This little guy is hilarious! I got it for my son and he immediately loved it. He keeps it on his bedside and can easily tap it to turn it on during the night if he wakes up and needs a little light in the room. It has a few different brightness settings that are easily set by tapping the duck. It lasts a while without a charge, and also works while it's plugged in, which is a feature that I appreciate." —ADH
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
4. Murdle: Volume 1, aka the true crime lover's activity book. It offers 100 murder-tinged puzzles to solve that range in difficulty from beginner to expert — so both novice and seasoned logic game lovers can play at their own pace. Plus, you can even play with friends if you so choose.
Check out a TikTok of Murdle in action.
The best part?? Once you finish "Murdling," you can use your sleuthing skills on Volume 2, Volume 3, and a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books!
Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" —Liz Gately
Get it from Amazon for $12.48.
5. And Just Chilling & Killing, an adult coloring book that can be super relaxing — if "relaxing" to you means watching horror movies and listening to scary story podcasts.
Demi's Colouring Corner is a UK-based business run by Demi, a mother of two who loves all things horror and coloring.
You can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon for $12.34.
Promising review: "This book is a must-have for horror lovers. So many adorable renditions of classic and newer horror movies that are a blast to color. I like the simple style because it allows me to add my own flair and techniques like a lot of the popular 'cozy' coloring books nowadays. I so hope this artist does a second version because I plan to finish every single picture in this book!" —AyemmeJay
Get it from Amazon for $12.09.
6. A mermaid tail blanket!! For adult-sized people!! So you can cuddle up with a book as your scaly self but still be where the people are. You're never too old to play mermaids.
Mink Inc. is a small business based in Canada that specializes in fun textiles.
Promising review: "ALL I CAN SAY IS. WOW. VENDOR KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. This mermaid blanket is absolutely STUNNING. Looked at other mermaid blankets, knew I would not like a knitted one. So I found this shop, and glad I did. vendor even sent me a matching color pillow case. i was blown away by her kindness for doing that. Shipping was FAST and well packaged." —Account
Get it from Mink Inc. on Etsy for $147.92+ (available in three adult sizes and in 12 colors; also available in sizes for littles).
7. An itty-bitty Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit if you've recently been inspired by the viral TikTok trend using this famous B.R. quote: "Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do." What better way to put his wisdom to work than to paint some happy little trees?
The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel.
Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m
Get it from Amazon for $8.76.
8. "The Peckish Pirates," an addition to the TikTok-viral Magic Puzzle series. It's more than a puzzle, though: It's a ~journey~ through magical illustrations and optical illusions, and there's even a PLOT TWIST at the end of the puzzle that you'll find once the whole thing is complete. A puzzle with a plot is a must-have, let alone one with a plot twist! Even if you're a puzzling pro, I can almost guarantee that you've never tried one like this.
Promising review: "Another stellar puzzle from Magic Puzzle Company, featuring high-quality pieces, a hidden final image, and a unique solving experience. The artwork is full of detail, making it an immersive and engaging build. The pieces fit together snugly, with no puzzle dust, and the final reveal adds an element of surprise. If you’re looking for a high-quality puzzle that’s more than just a standard jigsaw, this one is worth every penny." —Baloptimus
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (and check out the assortment of Magic Puzzles for more options).
9. A salad bowl that's just too cute to pass up. Besides, you've gotta be able to turn your boring lunch break into a ducking good time.
Promising review: "I love this bowl for putting snacks in. It is good in the dishwasher and holds an okay amount of stuff. I love the cute face on it." —Mana McPhee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes).
10. Wreck This Journal, a notebook with prompts for you to write, draw, paint, create, and DESTROY your heart out. If you've always wanted to start journaling but are intimidated by a blank page, this is a great choice. Oh, and this version is colorful!
Promising reviews: "Got this for a student who is struggling with feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and anger. She hated regular journaling, hasn't taken to any of the coping skills we've tried so far, but...She LOVED this!!! She was so excited to take it with her and have it available during classes. I already ordered another one for another student to try." —Jackie
"I am 50 and I love it. It has helped me reconnect with my inner child and helped me accomplish creative mini goals, which is cool. I highly recommend, especially for the price!!" —Toni Adams
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
11. A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser if you're the kind of person who measures time in "days from Halloween," no matter what part of the year it is. This cute lil' guy lets you add a little spook to your morning sipping ritual as he ominously floats around your cup of oolong.
Promising review: "My best friend loved this for her birthday. She loves Halloween and tea, and this was such a cute and perfect gift." —Harley Nixon
Get it from Amazon for $15.46.
12. A set of cowboy straw toppers so you can put a little "yee" in your Stanley cup's "haw," all while keeping your water safe from any rogue contaminants it might encounter as you go about your day.
13. A mini dancing tube guy so you can finally realize your dream of adopting the inflatable, arm-flailing creature that sits outside your local car dealership for some reason. And once you get him on your desk, you'll finally be able to get some work done with a little buddy cheering you on.
This little dancing dude is 17 inches tall! It uses 9-volt alkaline batteries (must be new) or an AC adapter — using an AC adapter with the proper specs is the recommended choice for best performance.
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 $11.66.
14. Some Goldfish-shaped magnets because who could ever refuse a little pack of the snack that smiles back? You should just be mentally prepared for that jingle to be stuck in your head every time you see these.
Note that these may not be a safe choice for homes with kids and pets who may mistake them for the real thing!

Get six magnets from Handy Cute Art on Etsy for $11.90 (originally $14).
15. A blackhead remover anxiety relief toy to kick back (more like pick back 😈 🤏) and self-soothe without damaging your *own* skin by turning very minor pimple spots into open wounds. And btw, this little guy actually likes being picked at...and it's good for him, TYVM.
Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit, and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in nine styles).
16. The Book of Weird and Unusual Trivia with 704 pages of pure, unadulterated fun facts. If you were the kind of kid who was always adding ~interesting~ info to the conversation, why not let that part of your personality shine as a grown up?
Promising review: "A fun read while eating breakfast or chilling at the beach! My husband loves the fun facts in this book! I purchased another one for my mother-in-law's birthday gift and she loves it! A great book for teens as well!" —Ohana Maui
Get it from Amazon for $9.55.
17. A set of cookie-shaped barrettes because you deserve to wear your love of sweet treats on your sleeve. Er, on your hair, at least.
18. A popcorn maker and bowl for the horror fanatic who wants every part of scary movie night to be ~spooktacular.~
Promising review: "This has got to be one of my favorite purchases of the entire year. It's absolutely perfect in every single way. Perfect size, perfect cook every single time, perfect little skully face. Incredibly simple to use and clean. I can't rave about this thing enough. Absolutely fantastic!" —Kelsi E McCoy
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
19. A shaved sheep plushie that you can instantly shear by unzipping its cute little wool coat. How could you ever be in a bad mood with this baby by your side?
Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." —Lexie Collins
Get it from Amazon for $12.39.
20. A spinning pill dispenser if you need something to make your daily med regimen feel a little more like the Webkinz' Wheel of Wow. Unlike your standard pillbox, this thing has two weeks' worth of medication slots — not just one. Plus, because it actually dispenses the meds, you don't have to go digging around for your pills (which can be a huge pain in the butt if you have mobility issues).
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 $29.98+ (available in four colors).
21. A surprisingly useful "screaming goat" button that teachers use for unconventional (but effective!!!) classroom management, and pranksters with a bit of an impish streak use to fend off spam calls in a very hilarious way.
Novelty888 is a small business that specializes in delightfully and oddly specific talking buttons.
Promising review: "Got this for my wife to keep on her desk. She said it’s been a big hit in the office! If she or her coworkers are having a tough time, this lightens the mood with just the press of a button." —Daniel
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
22. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to delight any Star Wars fan — and transform that sushi from a standard Earthly dish into a Batuuan delicacy. These BPA-free, magically glowing utensils come with eight color modes, and batteries are included.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (available in two styles).
23. A pet cloud if you're scared of a living thing being dependent on you, whether that's a dog, cat, plant, or, *gasp*...a child! Butttttttt, you'd still like to have a little companion around.
Party People is a UK-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in fun gag gifts and party supplies.
Promising review: "This pet cloud is so full of life and energy! As soon as I opened the box he jumped out and gave me a big hug! Might’ve been high IDK." —Owen
Get it from Party People on Etsy for $6.69+ (available with or without a gift bag).
24. A sword-shaped grater, because sometimes grating that block of Parmesan starts feeling a little bit like pulling Excalibur out of the stone...
Promising review: "It's so cute!!! I've ended up using it so much since getting it, there are plenty of times I've avoided using my regular grater but didn't because box graters are so hard to clean. This one makes it so much simpler, and it goes perfectly with our DND-ish themed home!" —Natalie
Get it from Amazon for $15.90.
25. Some Electric Unicorn ground coffee that's got a very unique flavor profile: think cereals like Fruity Pebbles or Froot Loops blended with high-quality, medium-roast coffee beans. If you pride yourself on being a coffee aficionado, you *have* to get this unique blend immediately.
Bones Coffee Company is a small business that specializes in coffee grounds and beans with unique flavors and themes.
Promising review: "Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this coffee to blow me away, but it absolutely did. I was seriously impressed by how well-balanced the flavors are. It tastes like brewing your coffee with Fruity Pebble cereal milk — a combo I didn’t think I’d enjoy, but it’s fantastic. The quality of the beans is top-notch too. I used a French press, and the coffee always turned out amazing. The artwork and packaging are a nice touch too; they fit right in with my kitchen decor." —Kendra H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in other fun flavors).
26. A subtle cropped pullover with a chic neckline...but a stinkin' cute surprise on the sleeve. Now you can go undercover as a silly goose, even if the dress code is a little bit more ~professional.~
Promising review: "It's so cute! It's a perfect length in my mind, not too long, but not cropped either. Hits right below my belly button and I love that. The sleeves are so so cute! I got this for my 1-year-old's goose party!" —Keegan
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and two designs).
27. A set of tarot cards that's got some serious cattitude and is absolutely purr-fect for any witch whose chosen familiar is their beloved kitty.
Promising review: "Honestly, I saw this tarot deck and thought I needed this for ha ha’s. But man. This deck’s images are hilarious. It’s so much fun, and I felt so drawn to it as soon as it was in my hands. I am smitten over these kittens. 😍 10,000% worth the purchase!" —Kathryn Taniyo
Get it from Amazon for $17.81.
28. A unicorn-head squirrel feeder that's a real win-win situation. The squirrels will finally leave your bird feeders alone and score some of their own yummy food...and you will get a hoot and a half out of watching them transform into ridiculous hybrid creatures.
29. An easy-to-clean platypus jar scraping spatula so the last drop in your peanut butter jar never goes unused. And maybe the fun design will encourage your kids to make their own sandwiches? Who knows!
Promising review: "I have had this spatula [for two years]. I reach for this one consistently above all of my other spatulas, and also use this instead of a butter knife for spreading. I absolutely love this tool. I have arthritis in one hand from a surgery, and the shape of the platypus also helps with that. It cleans off very easily, and still looks brand-new." —Thomas Norton
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
30. A pound of cereal marshmallows because let's keep it real...when you buy a box of Lucky Charms, you're not really buying it for the frosted oats. Save yourself the trouble of manually picking out the good bits and just go with this instead. 'Cause, you know...this bag is *only* the good bits.
Medley Hills Farm is an Ohio-based, family-owned small business that specializes in unique candies, snacks, and baking supplies.
Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer
