Reviewers recommend that you check the size of your humidifier before ordering, as the fish may not fit in smaller humidifiers.
Promising review: "These things are AMAZING! I went from having to Clorox my ultrasonic humidifier tank every few days to every month, if that. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to not have to worry about it! I feel like they work quite a bit longer than advertised, but that may depend on water temp, if the water is distilled (this is what we use, as our water is REALLY hard otherwise) vs. filtered vs. not, etc. Will definitely buy again!" —CindyR

It also fits pens and other desk items, so I want to get another so it can bring me a smile while I'm working, too.”

They're BPA-free with LED lights. They come with batteries so they'll be ready to go as soon as they're opened!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "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: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger than I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds." —Anthony

Pro tip: Don't just do the ceiling — spread them down the tops of each wall too, and you'll get a really nice dome effect like a real night sky!" —Conor D.
"What I love about these dots is there's a great balance between the larger dots, the medium-sized ones, and the smaller ones. They really are the perfect size to create small galaxies. They are extraordinarily bright for a glow-in-the-dark product, they are fairly cheap to purchase, and they stick to my walls perfectly!" —Jaden

Promising review: "This was my first embroidery project, and I loved it. I'm a big fan of houseplants and wanted to give stitching a go. This design is so cute! The package came with all the materials, including a basic how to guide; explaining where to put which stitches and thread colors. I recommend looking up a few of the stitches on YouTube to get a more concise demonstration than the paper offers. I improvised and added some more details with the various stitches I learned. I have plenty of threads left over for another project, too. Happy I bought this! Give it a try. 🙌" —S

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Heather Braga ~adores~ this night-light. She says: "I am admittedly obsessed with 'The Child' and can't get enough of him — that includes letting him reign over my bathroom at night in the form of the night-light."
Promising review: "Loving it. Needed a soft light for the bathroom and this does the trick. Not very expensive and comes with bulb. Bonus is the cuteness level. Plus, who doesn't want Grogu watching you go to the loo?" —Adrienne H.

Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

Check out a TikTok of the Globbles in action.
Promising review: "Bought a six pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could — the inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer

20. A coffee animals coloring book creatively combining two of the most amazing things in life: coffee and adorable animals. They'll be able to decompress after a long day by coloring a purple sloth that's lying on top of an espresso. Some pages even feature actual recipes!
Promising review: "This coloring book is slightly different than other coloring books. It's great because it has cute animals like llamas and sloths on coffee cups, but after each page, there's a recipe for a different type of coffee. I like how unique that is. Some pages are more complex than others, but you can easily complete a page in a couple of hours. It's a nice way to spend some time and definitely a unique coloring book to spend that time with. I'm having fun with it and recommend it." —kallie

Some reviewers even used it to make skull-shaped chocolates and hard candies.
Promising review: "A great gift and a fun alternative to round ice! I bought these molds as a Christmas gift for my dad. He loves circle-shaped ice cube molds and has about a half dozen of them, so I thought I'd get him something similar but a bit more badass. He likes them! The way they reflect light when they sit in a glass of bourbon makes them look so cool! A big plus side is that he's a Raiders fan, so the skull theme and black packaging were perfect for him! Silicone is an easy material to work with as well. If you're familiar with how to use round ice cube molds, I wouldn't worry in the slightest about figuring these out." —Cupcakes

These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!"

Promising review: "I bought these on a whim because they were really cute. They turned out to be really useful and hold tight to everything I've tried to close. I find myself smiling whenever I stick onto something new. I used a headband as a default placeholder so that I know where the unused ones are at all times. The serotonin and dopamine this small purchase has given me was worth the money." —Azuquita

27. And a smiley-faced Scrub Daddy sponge for the friend who truly finds all the enjoyment in cleaning. Their happy place = a clean space.
Promising review: "I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing scrubber! It cleans absolutely everything, doesn't scratch nonstick surfaces, has a fun texture, doesn't smell bad over time, and actually speeds up my dish cleaning time. Seriously, this is the best scrubber I have encountered in years. I bought one for several friends and family members for Christmas after seeing it on Shark Tank, and I've already replaced one for myself. This makes a wonderful and practical gift. My son liked it so much he just purchased two more packages to clean their new stainless-steel sink. This product is a great value compared to every other scrubber I have tried, and I have A LOT of them. Finally, it looks great sitting on the counter or in the sink with its smiley face and fun colors." —Carla
