    26 Fun Impulse Buys To Throw In Your Cart While Shopping For Practical Stuff

    Add a little excitement to your usual shopping order. You deserve it.

    1. A Dwight Shrute Funko Pop! figure that'll nod approvingly at all your no-nonsense desk accessories.

    2. A pack of summery bookmarks that work a lot better than the long receipts you get from less exciting purchases.

    3. A 19-piece kitchen utensil set featuring an emoji timer — folks, the impulse buy is baked right into the practical buy!

    4. A Burn Book magnet set to throw in the cart along with all your dorm essentials so you can have a constant reminder why you shouldn't miss high school.

    5. Toucan peel and stick wallpaper because why shouldn't your home feel fun and tropical? I mean, something has to balance out all the boring adult furniture you just got, right?

    6. A fancy shmancy gold cheetah lamp that'll look very nice on top of the new, practical dresser you bought. Consider it your trophy for being such a smart shopper.

    7. A mini cast iron pan way more fun than a regular sized pan because everyone knows size is inversely related to how fun something is.

    8. Speaking of miniatures, a teeny-tiny version of one of the toys you grew up with. The smaller the funner, I always say.

    9. A boozy necklace that'll pair well with all those wine glasses you're buying.

    10. Hello Kitty pasta to make dinner time a lot more fun than your usual grocery store trip.

    11. Avocado Smash — a fast-paced game to enjoy when running errands (buying toothpaste and soap online) has got you in the ~pits~.

    12. A good vibes neon sign that'll be the shining star in your otherwise drab cart.

    13. A box of Japanese snacks to mix up your snacking and your shopping cart.

    14. A dino decal that reminds everyone that you are unstoppable when it comes to picking up everything in the impulse buy section.

    15. A nice cat vase to scoop up while getting pretty much everything else you need from Walmart.

    16. A pair of antler hair pins that'll be so much more fun to buy than your average run-of-the-mill hair clip.

    17. An alcohol-inspired dog toy so your furry friend can get in on the impulse buying celebration.

    18. A cactus humidifier that arguably is part of your practical shopping.

    19. Floral earring jackets so inexpensive, it's like, why not? You'll hardly notice a dent in your weekly budget.

    20. A DIY miniature bookstore that — you know what? — isn't even an impulse buy. You're investing in a hobby and (really) small business!

    21. A pack of squishy little friends that will brighten your day, unlike all those plastic hangers you had to buy.

    22. A whopping 58 sheets of puffy stickers to jazz up all the boring stuff you needed.

    23. A screaming goat you can activate whenever the hardships of being an adult who has to buy their own toilet paper become too much to bear.

    24. A pack of cute critter pens with clicky tails and fine points to make writing in your new agenda at least sorta fun.

    25. A coloring book dedicated to farting animals, aka the perfect distraction from thinking about how expensive paper towels have gotten.

    26. Cactus laundry balls that'll go nicely with that order of detergent and fabric softener.
