1. A four-pack of Crayola gel hand sanitizer that's easy to squeeze and comes in cool colors. 99.99% of common germs hate this stuff and 99.99% of kids are likely to love it!
Promising review: "My kids LOVE their Crayola hand sanitizer. Thank you for making the importance of clean hands fun. I am going to need to buy a lot more; this is such a hit." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $12.99.
2. A mystical wireless phone charger for anyone who prefers fantasy over the sci-fi reality we live in.
Magic = unexplained science! This spell circle works with iPhones 11 and up, and Samsung Galaxys S8 and up.
Promising review "Product works great, looks cool, gives my nightstand a bit of magical flair without being so ostentatious that it keeps me up at night unlike some other magic circle chargers. AFAIK the runes mean nothing, the only word I can make out along the outer circle is futharc, which is the name of the Norse rune alphabet and is comprised of the first six letters of said alphabet. Most likely the rest of the letters are merely the rest of the alphabet in sequence, the literal rune equivalent of 'ABCDEFG' and so on. Overall, a good find. I am satisfied." —Kevin
Get it from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in three colors).
3. A felt flower bouquet that'll never wilt, immediately making it the most responsible flower purchase you could make. This is no impulse buy, it's a smart investment, OK?

Get it from SustAinable Home Goods for $45+ (available in 3, 5, 7, and 9 stem bouquets).
4. A hands-free dog leash you can wear around your waist, freeing you up to push a strolling, jog, check the mail, etc. Look Fido, no hands!
Promising review: "I try and get out to run with my husky, but she PULLS so much it ends up hurting my upper back. I saw this online and figured it was worth testing out, and to my surprise it is amazing! Now my hands can be free and we run, and the bungee in the leash allows some pull without strangling my dog. The handles are strong and sturdy when I need to reel her in, too. Love this leash, plus it makes me look like I am running faster." —Kayla S
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
5. A hanging planter with a drainage hole *and* connected dish to avoid getting everything soaked every time you water your plant — genius!

Get it from Holistic Habitat for $128 (accepts PayPal).
6. A super cute portable paint palette set so you can watercolor en plein air.
You'll get 18 colors (including two white).
Promising review: "Colors are vibrant and opaque, while still drying matte. They're easily workable and the inclusion of two white pans is a huge plus for me, as it's always the color that goes first! The palette itself is durable and well-made, snapping tightly into place when you're ready to store your paints. At first I was concerned about the colors drying, but frankly there's so much paint that I don't see that happening anytime soon as long as I continue to spritz them with water and stir them a bit occasionally. My favorite aspect of this palette is the amount of paint in each cup, I often find myself being afraid to waste paint with my more expensive tube gouache, but that's not an issue at all with this palette. Overall, this is an amazing palette for people who are learning gouache, and experienced artists alike. It gives you a genuine gouache experience, and lends itself to lots of experimentation without fear of wasting expensive paint." —analee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors, with and without paint brushes).
7. A shoe organizer that makes good use of vertical space. Even, say, the little corner that you never know what to do with.

Get it from Mappinners on Etsy for $28.80.
11. Rose gold cocktail glitter to glam up all the cool mixed drinks you've been whipping up at home.
This is also good for dusting on desserts!
Promising review: "The glitter was excellent and made the beer shimmer just as expected. Everyone loved it. The glitter does coat the glass, making subsequent beers glittery. Also, would recommend jiggling the keg a bit, so the glitter doesn’t settle. Great product. Will definitely buy again." —Jennifer Konecky
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
12. A D20-shaped bath bomb that comes with a surprise die inside!
Get it from Geekdomain on Etsy for $6 (available in 10 scents).
13. A box of lavender-scented poop bags you'll really appreciate when you find yourself walking with a bag of poop for multiple blocks with no trashcan in sight.
Promising review: "With big dogs comes big poops. I've been through many a poop bag in my day (literally through, because Newf poop is heavy and so many bags are too flimsy to support it), and these are the absolute best. Not only are they thick enough that I trust them not to break, but they mask the smell so well!" —Pet Lady
Get 270 bags from Amazon for $11.99.
14. A — get this — brick dyeing kit in case you just don't like the color of the bricks you have now. This stuff chemically bonds with brick, stone, block, and mortar without ruining its wonderful texture.
Masonry cosmetics, what a concept!
Promising review: "I had a brick repair on the wall in the front of my house. They did not match the rest of the brick at all, and I was embarrassed every time I walked past it. When I bought my kit, I didn’t know what to do with it at first, but I got great service. One of the Masonry Cosmetics guys helped me. I sent him samples of the brick and pictures and he figured out the stain colors for me. He also noticed something that I never would have thought of on my own: the mortar color was wrong and had me fix that first. Fixing that was the icing on the cake. Great product and even better service." —Gabe Williams
Get it from Amazon for $119.
15. 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." —Helen Quigley
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four colors).
16. A wheat-free peanut butter cake mix safe for pets so you can properly celebrate your best friend's birthday in style.
17. A vacuum hose attachment capable of sucking out all the lint that has been accumulated in your dryer. Linty dryers means longer drying times and therefore higher utility bills so this thing basically pays for itself. Also important to note: Multiple reviewers said they found lost socks hidden in the bowels of their dryer!
Promising review: "This thing is seriously amazing. I figured out how to use it very quickly and it worked like a charm. I had a sock stuck wayy down in my vent and would've had no idea! I still can't believe how much lent and dust came out of my dryer. My husband is already talking about other uses for this unique tool, like getting into tight spaces in our cars." —J. Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
18. A mug warmer to keep your drinks the proper temperature no matter how long you fall down a TikTok hole and forget about your mug.
Promising review: "It does an excellent job keeping my coffee hot every day. Easy to operate, and three different modes with different temperatures perfectly meet all my needs. I even used it to heat up a cup of miso soup once, and it warmed up my soup well with the highest temperature option (the red one)." —Kaylee L.
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in eight colors).
19. A bi-fold wallet that looks all business on the outside but secretly has a colorful interior — kinda like a lot of people I know!

Get it from Mifland for $110.
20. Reusable silicone straws so you can properly enjoy all your frosty drinks without putting any sea turtles at risk. The best part is that these have snap enclosures so you can easily pop them open and get scrubbing.
Promising review: "I never thought I’d be writing a review for straws, but here we are. These are FANTASTIC. I try to be as eco-friendly as possible but was ready to give up. I’ve tried metal straws, but they are tough to clean and I don’t love metal against my teeth. I’ve tried other reusable plastic and silicone options but they don’t work for thicker drinks like smoothies. These actually address all of my issues. I’ve used them for thick smoothies, that I drink daily, and just for other everyday drinks like water. They couldn’t be easier to snap open and clean, dry, then easily snap back into shape to use again." —M. Alexandra
Get them from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in four colors).
21. A soap pump dispenser that lets you soap up your sponge with one hand. Dishes are not prepared for this level of efficiency.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this! I leave my sponge on top and do not have to reach under the sink to get my bulky Dawn dish soap bottle from under the sink every time I need it. It looks clean and my friends that have noticed it said something about it. I highly recommend it." —Lisa Camarena
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two colors).
22. A little sheep who's happy to keep your TP rolls organized. Admit it, you want it very baaadly.
Every time you use the TP, it'll be like you're shaving the sheep, hehe.
Promising review: "It’s practical and cute how can you go wrong! We opted to mounting it because of limited bathroom space and it was really easy to install. It’s holds a lot of toilet paper and you can stack much more and it just looks like a super fluffy sheep! Looks great in our bathroom and helps in storage if extra toilet paper." —Chezi Z.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
23. A handheld bag sealer to really and truly keep that half-eaten bag of puffy Cheetos fresh. Those things are S level snacks, but wow they do not age well.
Promising review: "Wish I would’ve bought this sooner! Not only is it so cute but it’s so easy to use — I can finally close my bag of chips after picking at it! It’s magnetic so I can stick it right on my fridge and it has a little sharp knife that you can unlock to use to open the bag again! So great!" —JB

Get it from Colour Pop for $9.
29. Moth traps to stop those tiny, dusty aviators in their tracks.
This is for pantry moths! If you need to protect your clothes, try this version.
Promising review: "This review is being posted to showcase our tasteful presentation of what started as a gathering of moths, and is now a full-blown infestation. I call it, 'The Moth Exhibit at Thayer Plaza.'
They are literally coming out of the woodworks: from crevices within the counters, from the pantry, from the bathroom, and who knows from where else. We have spent the days watching our moth traps fill up with these little creatures that seem to bite their way through everything, including plastic and cardboard.
With these moth traps we have learned that we can hold the trap to the flying patter, and the moths eventually fly inside and get stuck for an eternity. It does not seem to bother them that there are dozens of their dead friends and family members stuck inside the traps already. It seems that they are attracted to the scent of the glue inside the traps.
I'm on my fifth order of these. After a couple of dozen moths get stuck it's best to use a fresh trap because they have a lower chance of getting stuck to the trap if they can step on their dead friends and eject themselves out the other end. A better design would be to have a closed end so that they have no way of ejecting themselves or flying through. I give 5 stars anyway for keeping us entertained and finding something positive from this mess." —Raymond
Get six traps from Amazon for $15.97.

31. An unofficial Disney park cookbook for plenty of ideas for festive foods at home. No need to wish upon a star for some Mickey-shaped macarons when you can make them yourself.
Promising review: "This cookbook brings Disney Magic to your kitchen! If you have grown up going to the Disney parks or discovered them as an adult easily one of the greatest aspects is the food. I always wanted that food when I got home and now I can. This book is so comprehensive covering the best dishes organized by park. It is a beautiful book that will bring our family magic for years to come!!!" —Jason M. Bernhisel
