1. A shaker of Thin Mint seasoning you need to buy as a favor to all your taste buds immediately. Allow me to paint a picture for you: Thin Mint coffee, Thin Mint pudding, Thin Mint popcorn, Thin Mint anything your dessert gremlin heart desires.
I stared at this for months online before caving and buying it, and when I tell you!! It jazzes up my morning coffee in a way that makes my little '90s baby heart sing. I've also loved it on Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and mug cakes. Plus, when I am feeling lonely for a real Thin Mint, and we're not in Girl Scout cookie season, I'll shake this on an Oreo Thin to stave off the despair.
Get it from Amazon for $4.98 (and try their s'mores seasoning blend, too!).
2. A buildable Space Glow Color-Changing Lipstick with a sheer, subtle shimmer and a unique tint formulated with pH technology so it will adapt to a personalized shade so perfect you'll look stellar 💫.
Promising review: "I liked the first one I bought so much that I went back and ordered another for my purse. It’s smooth and the color, on me, develops to a soft rose. Give it a try!" —MarieTherese
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
3. A NeeDoh Nice Cube, an *elite* sensory fidget toy for anyone who wants to add more calm into their life but with a dose of whimsy. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish and weight to it, and reviewers love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean.
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 $8.25 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random!).
4. A dimmable sad duck nightlight because sometimes you just have to look at this emotionally deflated creature on your desk and be like, "Welp. At least I'm doing better than that little dude." Reviewers love this for late night studying or reading without a harsh overhead light!
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 $12.79 (available in four styles).
5. Plus an anxious pumpkin night-light who's just doing his best to keep the spirit of spooky season alive all year long even though he's *lowers voice* a lil' bit afraid of ghosts!! Someone needs to give this brave baby gourd a hug.
Promising review: "This item definitely exceeded the definition of cuteness. I bought this for my bookshelf, and now my nieces are asking one for their room. 🎃 Love how it has a timer for 30 minutes. It works great." —Book_Hollows
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
6. Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀.

Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more.
Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I’m happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." —nancy

To attach it to a desk or table, you can either use the included suction, or clamp it to a table edge.
Promising review: "This punching bag may have saved my life. I purchased this as a gift for a coworker. She has been very stressed lately and I felt like she needed something to take the edge off. We installed it next to her desk, and every time I see her do a right cross or a left hook at it, I think, 'Thank god I'm no longer her punching bag.' In all seriousness, this is a fun bag for the office." —Jon Fisch
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in three styles).

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

11. A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel so you can feel like an enchanted forest nymph while you funnel your coffee, wine, baking ingredients, or mystical potions.
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 $16.95+ (available in two sizes).
12. A "Through The Seasons" Reverse Coloring Book, which is a newer edition of the original Reverse Coloring Book that took the internet by storm — reviewers swear by this easy, calming artistic outlet to help ease their anxiety, relieve stress, and unleash their inner creativity without taking up too much brainpower.
For those new to the concept — Instead of adding the color to these, you add the lines to create images within the colors. Sort of like a Rorschach test, but make it whimsical.
Promising review: "Kendra Norton’s beautiful art books, Reverse Coloring books, have changed my world! My whole life, I thought I was not creative and, therefore, had zero artistic ability. Now, this has become my favorite form of artistic expression. I turn on music and/or an audiobook and allow myself to go for an adventure outside of my mind, beyond my mind, if you will. This has become my favorite way to process through difficult emotions and experiences I’m working through." —K. DeWitt
Get it from Amazon for $8.24.
(Psst — check out these cult-fave black fine point pens for $8.99 on Amazon for a good doodling option!)
13. A set of book-shaped sponges, aka what happens when Cinderella and Belle collaborate on your birthday gift.
Promising review: "Everything about these sponges is great. The design and printing is very well done and the sponges themselves are quality. I use them in the guest bathroom sink with the soap dish and they actually strike your eye, a little pop of art — that's how nicely the printing is done. I bought them for me but they would be a wonderful book club gift." —isecond
Get a set of three from Amazon for $10.
14. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to bring balance to The Force *and* to your sushi.
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 $9.99.

Get it from Amazon for $9.75+ (available in 17 colors).
16. A Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game, aka any parents' dream — this gizmo keeps kids entertained for hours of fun hiding it all over the house, where it makes little noises to give clues about where to find it. It's basically all the joy of playing hide and seek, except it's the *toy* hiding, not the humans.
What Do You Meme? is a small business that specializes in adult and family games.
Check out a TikTok of the Silly Poopy in action.
Promising review: "Let me tell you that if you want hours of endless fun of hide and go seek without having to hide yourself, this is a must-get! When it's hidden, it makes various toot noises and says stuff so the kids know if they are close. And when they find it and press the button to do and sing the silly poopy dance ... even you will dance and sing along!!! Doesn't need batteries, and come on, it's poop? Who doesn't think poop and toot noises are funny, and if they don't, they are lying to themselves. A must-have for fun with your kids without barely doing any work!!" —andrea kelli gorman
Get it from Amazon for $12.94.
17. A reusable silicone cactus dryer ball that pet owners especially love because it catches hair like nobody's business. These lil' desert bubs also help soften fabric, reduce wrinkles, *and* save drying time, so they're putting all the decorative but useless succulents in your home to shame.
Check out a TikTok of the cactus dryer ball.
Promising review: "This is my first time using these, and I'm already in love! I saw someone say these can catch hair but I didn't know if these would really catch hair until I used them. They even captured cat hair, which is life-changing for me! 😄😻" —E & D
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six styles).
18. A ~Magical Flame~ colorant you can use in your fireplace at home or in outdoor campfires to basically flex to everyone on Instagram that you are, in fact, a wizard now.
Magical Flames is a small business that specializes in color-changing fire products.
Promising review: "This product is so easy to use. Just toss a packet into the fire and watch the flames change color. The colors were beautiful and received a lot of oooooos and ahhhhhhs. Surprisingly, it lasted for quite a while. We will enjoy this addition to our campfires this summer." —Debra L. Musselman
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $12.99.
19. An bunny and bear egg mold set because, respectfully, life is short, and we have no business ignoring opportunities to make it as adorable as possible. Reviewers mention this also works well for rice!
20. A solar-powered cat lantern to keep watch over your garden or patio all summer long — a purrrrfect addition to your backyard aesthetic.
The light takes eight hours of sunlight to charge eight to ten hours of light!
Promising review: "This is a very cute figurine, solid and nicely built. The tiny light is very bright and lightens the yard beautifully. It’s also pretty heavy and stands still in the wind and stormy weather." —Anna
Get it from Amazon for $23.26 (also available as a dog, dragon, or bear!).
21. A wildly hilarious "screaming goat" button that has surprised reviewers by becoming a legit staple in their routine — people use it to get the attention of a classroom or break tension in the office or just to generally announce to anyone in your vicinity, "I've had it up to HERE and someone better get me a little treat IMMEDIATELY."
Novelty888 is a small business that specializes in delightfully and oddly specific talking buttons.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
22. A bag of viral mango peeling candy you may have seen some variation of if you're an avid member of CandyTok. These gummies peel like real fruit, so you can eat it "as is" or have an ~immersive~ candy experience unwrapping it first.

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.
24. A sweet Nessie sugar spoon reviewers are obsessed with, and for good reason. It infuses just the right amount of ~whimsy~ into the best parts of their day (read: that first cup of coffee, the first bite of oatmeal, that lil' bowl of ice cream before bed). It also has a very satisfying weight and curve for optimum sipping.
Promising review: "This little silly spoon makes me happy. It is now the #1 spoon everyone looks for in the silverware drawer at our house. Often found in a container of ice cream or a mug of tea living its best little life." —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $10.58 (also available in sets of four and eight).
25. A retro-inspired, rechargeable electric gamer lighter that is not only a more environmentally-friendly alternative to gas lighters but will give you any and every opportunity to relive your glory days of being a Pokemon trainer, searching through a sea of Pidgeys in the tall grass to find a Pikachu.
Promising review: "Love this lighter. It has some weight to it, so it feels like a real lighter. It makes a nice click sound when you open and shut it, and is easy to charge with the included cable. The blue lights on the side that show the battery level are neat, and the fact that it looks like a tiny Game Boy is awesome." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.88 (available in three styles).
26. A color-changing heat-reactive T-shirt for anyone who's physically in the modern day, but emotionally still living in a Hypercolor shirt in the '90s. These don't just change color in the sunshine but in reaction to body heat, so you can put colorful handprints on yourself and make magic indoors, too.
Reviewers say if you're on the fence, size up!
Shadow Shifter is a small business that specializes in heat reactive clothing — you can check out sizes for the whole family on their Amazon storefront!
Promising review: "Best thing ever. Nice thick material — feels like a high-quality cotton T-shirt. The color change is expressive, impressive, and using a heat press to apply vinyl didn’t damage it at all. 10/10." —Suzanne mussen
Get it from Amazon for $27.95 (available in sizes S–3X and six colors).
27. A unicorn head squirrel feeder because you know what the world needs?? More mildly terrifying TikToks and Instagram stories of hybrid creatures frolicking in your backyard. This is your task. Go forth, my friend.

This vase is so quirky and ADORABLE — every time I see it in my living room, it makes my heart happy.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun piece of decor!
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
29. A camera lens-shaped thermos that is both aesthetically pleasing *and* delightfully practical — this 12-ounce insulated mug not only will keep coffee hot, but will keep iced drinks and smoothies cold on the go. Why say "cheese" when you can say "caffeine?"
Promising review: "I saw this while browsing, and at first, I thought it was a real lens (until I saw the price). I clicked and had to laugh because it incorporated my husband's two loves — coffee and photography! I got it for him as part of his Christmas gifts, and he loves it. The designer did an excellent job with this. It looks real at first glance, and the raised areas make it very easy to hold. We laughed when he opened it, and it has become one of his favorite mugs." —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $13.90.
30. A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder for an absurdly cute storage option for keys that will prettttyyy much guarantee you never lose them again.
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 $7.68.
31. A set of cat-themed tarot cards purrrfect for first-timers, complete with a guide on how to pull the cards and how to interpret them. You'll be doing readings for everyone from yourself to your BFF to your actual cat by the end of the week.
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. 😍 10000% worth the purchase!" —Kathryn Prouty
Get it from Amazon for $17.38.
32. A mildly alarming if not adorable flexible flower vase that will fascinate guests when they can bend its limbs and hang it from any fixture they choose. That says if this thing *does* come to life in the middle of the night and starts singing and dancing all over your room, well. That's on you for buying whatever the heck this is.
Promising review: "An affable, squishy, bendy, happy little vase! The consensus on my social media page is that everyone should have one of these. I finally got a chance to try it out with some daffodils, and really, it's hard not to smile when you see them." —Susy Lundy
Get it from Amazon for $20.90 (available in three colors).
33. A set of light up bath fizzes, because life is short and bath time is nothing if not an opportunity for an underwater rave!! Bonus: these are made with natural essential oils and moisturizing shea butter and coconut oil for a real ~spa~ experience.
These come in six different scents: lavender, aloe, ocean, rose, milk, and olayer.
Promising review: "Disco in my bath! This product is such a nice distraction from a stressful life! The scents are not overpowering light and soothing, they don’t seem to deposit rings a real plus with a soaker tub! But the best part save the little center bit and set aside for a real party with wine and candles. Sending these out to stressed family now as random pick me ups." —Katrin Sullivan
Get a set of six from Amazon for $19.98.

Promising review: "Super cute purse. Very versatile — can be used for casual and formal wear. I’ve also used it as decor in my dressing room, and it’s such a pretty piece. I bought two, one as a gift. We both love it. I fit my iPhone 7 Plus, my card wallet, my following travel-sized blush or bronzer, highlighter, lipstick/gloss, one brush, and perfume." —Yasmin V.
Get it from Amazon for $25.98 (available in four styles and as a perfume-shaped purse).

Ass Kickin' is a small business that specializes in spicy candy, popcorn, and sauces.
Promising review: "If you like spicy and sweet, you will most definitely like these jelly beans. It didn't take me long to devour the whole jar and will say that I enjoyed every spicy hot bean. I wouldn't say it's like over the top hot, but it's a comfortable hot that keeps me eating one after the other." —Bill Reiner
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
36. A "Liquipen," aka what happens when a pen and a lava lamp have an intriguing and functional baby. This is technically a toy, but a lot of adults swear by it for calm or for helping spur creative ideas when they're in a rut!
Promising review: "I broke up the three pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in stocking for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." —Kindle Customer
