Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Amazon

Here what my co-work Emma has to say about these:

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.

Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T. Redwood

Sephora

Promising review: "Tbh I'm generally a cheap person with my makeup, but this was worth the spend for me. I use a bit of it across my nose and cheeks and it is a softer look with this shade. It applies/blends with my fingers really well, my favorite part of my everyday makeup. I haven't tried it on top of foundation yet as I put the foundation around where my blush will go and then apply the stamp right on my skin. I think my pores look gross with powder blush and I'd say this looks way better. Looks adorable with highlighter on top and so far it lasts well throughout the day. Also this is the first product I actually took the time to review if that says anything!" —cnk23

Get it from Sephora for $24 (available in seven shades).

16. A cute little vacuum to help you clean up tiny messes (that unfortunately doesn't include the crappy week you recently had, although we'd love to vacuum that mess up).

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "This vacuum is a great gift for yourself and others! Bought this as a gag gift/white elephant and it was a hit! It isn’t the most functional, it’s a great electronic lint roller, vacuum for small spaces, and dust collector. However, it’s cute and simply unique! PS- THE VACUUM COMES WITH A CORD!!" —Tsls

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $15.95.

17. A Popsicle lip tint for adding a wash of color to your pout without committing to a super bright color. It's just like your lips, but better.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "The best lip stain I have used yet. The color, smell, texture, taste, and packaging are all exceptional. It’s not very moisturizing (which I don’t expect in a stain anyway), but it’s definitely NOT drying. It’s water-based, which makes the texture delightful. There is no strong chemical smell or taste. The longevity isn’t great, but the “pros” outweighed that simple “con”. The packaging is clever and cute, the applicator is excellent so reapplication is not a hassle. The price was fantastic." —LM

Get it from Amazon for $5.23+ (available in four shades).

18. A baby Groot Chia Pet that truly transcends decades by bringing the good 'ole '90s into the 21st century...

Get it from Amazon for $19.98.

Promising review: "Thanks to my daughter and TikTok, we both have these in our car. I absolutely love this! I've tried this with a few different sauces and they work great. Some you will have to remove the white dish but no biggie. If you eat on the go or just like to sit and eat your lunch this is definitely for you. I'd purchase this item again." —Africa Green

Get set of two from Amazon for $10.25.

Promising review: "I was looking for a soft scrubby for my face and when I saw this cute little guy, I knew it'd be perfect — and it is! The top is scrubby but not too abrasive, so I can scrub pretty hard without it scratching the heck out of my face. There is a sponge inside that fills up with whatever soap I'm using so I don't have to worry about running dry. I use a stick cleanser, rub it on my face, scrub away with this thing, and rinse it out under the water. The inside spongey is removable so if you don't like it for some reason, you can just take it out. Anyway, I bought this thing months ago and it is still in perfect condition with daily use and its adorable little face is still well intact. I mean, just look at it. How could anyone not want it in their life immediately?" —TF

Get it from Amazon for $5.98.

22. A moon lamp for providing a moody glow on your bedside table to enjoy while you're doing your nightly reading.

Promising review: "This was meant to be a b-day present for someone else, but I loved it so much I just kept it for me! It's a perfect night light to keep beside your bed or just to create a cozy atmosphere! Very lightweight and easy to charge! I love the fact that you can increase or decrease the intensity of the brightness to your liking. Perfect gift for yourself or a loved one! I got the smallest one but I bet the bigger ones are equally beautiful!" —Dhanya

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+.

Promising review: "Ever want to be the source of both envy and disdain by your coworkers? Ever want to just relax on a nice, soft baguette? Now you can! I was worried this bread was gonna be a little stinky out of the package, but it actually had zero odor. It came in a super cute bag that looked just like what you'd pick up your long loaf in at the grocery! PSA: It does have a tag that says 'Congrats on your Marriage' or similar, so if you're sending this as a gift, it's good to know. Overall very squishy and hilarious.
