Promising review: "I bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister and she loves it! The package was wrapped in styrofoam to keep it safe in the box. The statue itself is very sturdy and heavy. The product looks just as pictured and as described. It is cute and a conversation piece. I would recommend this to any cat/wine lover." —Megan Barrow

As someone who not only loves dogs but is also OBSESSED with dachshunds specifically, I'm pawing to get my hands on this tray! And the party doesn't have to stop at dog-shaped ice — the pliable silicone makes this a great tray for molding chocolate as well.

Promising review: "These are the CUTEST ice cubes I’ve ever seen!!! I love them so much. I get compliments on them all the time, and people ask where I got the tray. They’re super easy to remove from the tray, too. It is definitely worth the cost." —April Lewis

Promising review: "It’s a lovely, huge mug. I had ordered this mug for my friend and she absolutely loved it. It gets extra stars for the cute llama handle. It's a great piece of work." —Shopoholic

Each of these tiny candles is designed to burn steadily for over an hour, and even comes with a super cute thank you card.

Promising review: "These are so cute and the gift box adds a nice touch. I used them to fill a pair of five-inch glass globe terrariums. Since there is not enough sunlight in my dark living room, I'm unable to successfully grow succulents. These candles are a nice replacement, and I think they add a more personal touch than fake plastic succulents since they are actually useful." —Michelle

The plush material will warm you from your toes to your nose!

Promising review: "I saw this on Facebook a while back and could NOT stop laughing at the pun — loafers!!!!! Then, I happened upon them on Amazon, and I just had to get them. I got the French baguette style because I thought it looked the most bread-like without seeing the insoles. This will always be funny! I wear a women's size eight or nine, so I got the large in this and it fits wonderfully! There's a bit of room at the end, too. I love them!!!!! They are super soft to the touch on the top and insoles. The top parts are SUPER cushy, which I really like. The soles have a bunch of little rubber dots for traction" —Rose Ingraffia

Promising review: "I got one of these for my niece last Christmas — then had to get one for my four other nieces and nephews because everyone wanted one. Even for the adults, brushing the sequins back and forth is really soothing. We draw letters on them with my toddler for fun, too. And, they're so pretty! I love these!!! Just remember to get the insert separately as it's just a case." —Bria

Just fill the humidifier with water, add the filter stick, plug the wire into your USB port, and press the button on the back.

Promising review: "This little humidifier is perfect for your desk at work. It's small and cute. If you fill it to the fill line, it will have enough liquid to be on all day, though it will shut off after four hours of continuous use. I turn mine on first thing in the morning. It shuts off at lunch, which is perfect when I need to leave to get food. Then, I turn it back on at one and it's off by quitting time. Despite living in humid Louisiana, our office is unnaturally dry and my lips and skin have suffered. This little humidifier has helped." —Benji

After trying out this scrub just once, I promptly added it to my nightly routine. It fills my bathroom with its tropical, mango scent, and the added shea leaves my skin feeling super supple.

Promising review: "I absolutely love Tree Hut scrubs. They are a staple and I have ordered many delicious scents. Every scent is amazing. The texture is coarse enough to remove dead, dry skin — think of the texture of sugar, not cornmeal. It's also moisturizing and leaves trace amounts of oil on your skin when you rinse it off, but not in a greasy or excessive way. I keep a tub of it in my shower and use it regularly. It's inexpensive and overall a wonderful product for dry elbows, hands, and legs." —TRRIXZEE

You can microwave the plush to warm you up or freeze it to cool you down. And, it's totally hand-washable.

Promising review: "This little heating pad is the most comforting thing in the world. I got it when I pinched a nerve in my neck, and it makes me feel a lot better. It holds the heat for a while. The smell is also very pleasant and makes you feel content and sleepy. I'm very happy with it." —kboss704

Brew yourself a nice, hot cup of tea to get over the day's aggravations. Several reviewers say that the mug isn't microwave- or dishwasher-safe, but others say they have run it through the dishwasher — if you do, stick it on the top rack and skip the heat dry to be safe.

Promising review: "This is my favorite tea mug! It is super cute, but what I love most about this is the bottom piece. I tend to sit on my couch with my knees up and feet tucked into a cushion. So naturally, I rest the bottom of the cup on my knee in between sipping. The bottom of this mug has been the best in-between element that keeps me from burning myself. I didn’t even know I’d love it for this reason because look how cute it is, so win-win-win for me! I’ve had it for a month with no issues. It also cleans well in my dishwasher, too." —Nat Guignard

Just squeeze one of these 'lil guys when you're stressed or bored for endless fun!

Promising review: "These are such a cute and funny little fidget type toy. I have been looking for an excuse to buy some for almost a year since I first found out they existed. Luckily, I needed an add-on and this was it. There are three beans tucked inside each pod. It's made of like a silicone-like rubber, and when you give it a squeeze, one of the little beans pops out and smiles at you! When you let go, the bean hides back inside the pod. It's seemingly very well constructed for the cheap little fidget toy that it is. You would have to deliberately grab a bean to rip it out. They make a great small gift. My two daughters loved these little surprises when they arrived." —Lanni

Their permanent smile means they're always in a good mood, probably from dancing around so much.

Promising review: "I've loved these tube guys since they first started making dancing appearances at car lots and oil change spots. I've always wanted my own mini version and I'm so happy and thankful they made one. I've had a great experience with this whacky little dude. He works really well, inflates right away, and dances his little heart out. Sometimes, he'll just stick straight up, but you just got to high-five him to keep him going. I hope he lasts forever!" —anika_h

I originally purchased this mask because my face felt very rough and my skin looked dull, so I wanted something to pump the moisture back into it and make it smooth to the touch. I came across this mask and decided to buy it since it was more affordable compared to other high-quality masks, had great reviews, and it was a peel-off mask — honestly, I didn't feel like spending 10 minutes to thoroughly wash off anything. I wasn't disappointed! After just one use, my skin looked brighter, felt softer, and definitely felt hydrated. And, peeling off the mask was so fun! A little goes a long way, though, so you only need to apply a thin layer.

The covers snap on and off for a super secure fit. Use it as a cute, little jewelry holder, or hide away small surprises for yourself for glum days.

Promising review: "These are very very adorable. They aren't flimsy and are very durable. They don't open easily, so things can't fall out, and they're perfect for storing all my jewelry. I have a size eight ring finger and the ring fits and has room to wiggle around. The boxes are also very colorful. They are great to display. I put them in a vase in my room and they add a pop of color for my bedside table. The price is very low but the quality is exceptional." —Karin Tribuna

Just try not to accidentally shit yourself from too much laughter.

Promising review: "I ordered this for my hall bath. It is a slightly off-white, cream color. The lettering is very clean and crisp. It is supposed to look rustic, and, overall, it is cute and worth the price." —Sandra P Fowler

If you can't have wine in the bathroom, this is the next best thing! Plus, the soaps are made with real beer and hops.

Promising review: "I got this soap for my boyfriend, as he's a whiskey guy and I thought he'd get a kick out of showering 'with' whiskey. He loves it! The scent is strong but not at all overwhelming. He likes how clean his skin feels after using this soap, and we both appreciated the classy packaging. It's a large bar of soap, so you get a lot of bang for your buck! It will definitely last a while." —Sara

It's a five-year journal, so you can look back on your experiences from past years.

Promising review: "I've been writing in this little journal for three years now and already bought a second one just to make sure I can continue this wonderful habit into a new volume. Some tips: Since this little book will be with you for a LONG time, buy or make a little protective sleeve to slip it into when you're not writing. And alternate pen colors from year to year; it makes the entries really stand out from each other when you're going back down memory lane. Tuck a $5 or $20 bill in between pages at your birthday or other special days. When you come back to that date next year, you'll have a nice surprise from your past self! The quality of this journal is excellent — the creators obviously put some thought into how much use it would be getting. I'm especially pleased with the paper. I tend to press really hard when I'm writing but the ink doesn't show through on the other side at all. I highly recommend this!" —EdTech-Librarian

You'll reach for these pens every. Single. Time.

Promising review: "I am picky with pens — I like when they have that thick, smooth feel to them. These are the complete opposite of what I tend to like. They have that scratchy feel to them, but they still somehow write so smoothly. I have never written with a quill, but for some reason, I feel like I am with these pens. The ink flow and deposit are great! The pens are sooooo cute with the little cats. I love them!" —Sara
