8. Lil' sprout bookmarks to help with your growing reading list.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these bookmarks! Even though they are pretty small, they stay in the book, either opened or closed. They are really soft and rubbery, so they won't crack or break very easily. I can foresee these lasting for a long time. Since they come in a package of six, I can not only have one for my book for reading, but I can place these in the pertinent chapters that I am studying in my textbooks as well. They really come in handy for that! These cute, little sprouts were a great treat for the little that I spent on them!" —Aimée le Huitième

Get it from Amazon for $15.
19. A cat bookmark that lights up your life AND your book!
Promising review: "I pretty much need book lights everywhere I go. Some are a bit damaging to the pages, others are a bit too flimsy. This one will work well as a bookmark-style book light because of the thin profile. That'll be nice for storage, not just for book light use. For us readers, you never really can have too many book lights, and this one will do the trick. It also comes with a battery and comes in additional colors." —Tana
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two colors).

23. A pack of cat-shaped sponges sure to make you actually excited to do dishes. At least the first time, anyway.
24. A humidifier that looks like a little dog ready to blast off into space in their reindeer rocket ship. Why isn't this a movie yet?
It can last up to 10 hours and has seven LED colors.
Promising review: "I can honestly say I was shocked to find this little gem, especially for the price. I have used it daily since it arrived at my doorstep. I’ve been taking it back and forth from home to work, but I will Instead buy a second one, and most likely a couple more as gifts, as Christmas is around the corner." —Helen Quigley
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four colors).

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five characters).
26. A celestial ring complete with a moonstone and crescent moon sporting your initial.
27. A set of a-meow-zing chair socks that ironically prevent scratches instead of creating them.
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE these!!! Not only are they cute and adorable, but also very functional. I bought these because of my frustration with other products I've tried that left marks on my hardwood floors. My chair legs are thick and I was worried they might not fit, but they stretched nicely and did not slip or slide off. I have tried several other options from rubber tips to felt pads and all of them fall or slide off after a while. We use our chairs every day, multiple times a day and they have not worn out. They very obviously prevent scratches. They look like the chairs have gotten socks to keep their legs warm with these cat paws. Excellent design and manufacture with a nice dose of whimsy. I will definitely buy more of these just to have as backup." —Zhangsu
Get a variety set of 20 from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in six varieties).
28. A Pokémon Nanoblock set so you can build your dream team.
Promising review: "I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Pokémon. Even if you don’t, it’s very entertaining to put these together! I am obsessed with Nanoblocks. This is a legit product from the actual Japanese Nanoblock company. I am so happy with my purchase." —Amy Mai
Get it from Amazon for $11.70+ (available in 21 characters).
29. A DIY miniature bookstore model so you can finally run your own (very) small business.
Promising review: "This model has been such an enjoyable build. As of now, I am not completely finished. Having put around 20 hours into it, I'd say I have another eight hours more to go. The pieces are all vibrantly pre-painted, with the exception of one large base piece. The glue and tweezers it comes with are perfect for the job. The cloth I had gotten for the couch was not large enough, but I improvised by using another color cloth (that also came with the kit) for the seat. The attention to detail in this little study is just first class. I even recognized books that I have read/purchased in the past within this model! I am not experienced at all with building wooden kits and I was still able to do this one perfectly with minimal struggle. I will certainly be buying more Robotime models in the near future, the greenhouse one is next :)!" —B.R.J.G.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (also available in an art studio or greenhouse).

Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
