Amazon has a list of products called “Movers and Shakers,” which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending~.
Here are some of the coolest and most useful things found on the list this week:
1. Cozy slipper socks that turn your feet into foxes.
2. Michael Chabon's new novel: Moonglow.
3. An all-natural scratcher to keep your cat occupied for hours and hours (and hours).
4. A game that's a real ~gas~.
5. A handheld brush and blade to gently clean stains from a salt block.
6. A toy version of Poppy's coronation pod from Trolls.
7. A scoop for making consistently sized cookies (so they cook evenly when you bake them).
8. An owl who reveals a clock when he flaps his wings.
9. A mat to protect your hardwood floors from Christmas tree stands (both scratching and leaking).
10. A magnetic board that'll help kids learn how to write numbers.
11. A grooming glove to use with your dog, cat, horse, rabbit, or any other animal that sheds.
Promising review: "Perfect for grooming my greyhound. She thinks I'm petting her (since the brush is a mitt), and the bristles are soft enough for her very thin coat, yet they get the job done." —Mrs. Black
Price: $8.99
12. The soundtrack to Moana (because even though you haven't seen the movie yet, you already know your kids are going to want to listen to it on the drive home from the theater).
13. An "Ugly Christmas Sweater" that's actually more cute than ugly.
14. A four-tier rack to keep shoes organized in an entryway or closet.
15. A cookbook put together by American Girl that's filled with scrumptious recipes for cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts.
16. A set of playfoam that comes in stocking-stuffer-sized containers.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing!!!! It's like little foam balls that stick together with some kind of binding agent that does not stick to your hands. You can mold and shape objects out of it, but it doesn't stick to any surfaces (like Silly Putty does). It's super easy to clean up and store in a bag. My kids absolutely love this stuff and play with it for hours." —Handy Family
Price: $6.47
17. And a set of four classic Christmas movies on Blu-ray or DVD (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, Frosty the Snowman, and Frosty Returns).
