1. A metal band-style shirt for people who are hardcore fans of the Live Laugh Love lifestyle.
2. A fun and beautiful board game where the point of the game is basically to become a thriving forest. *wistfully stares out of the window*
Basically you're growing trees. Each player starts with two. The trees absorb light and get light points, which can be used to disperse seeds. There is a "sun" rotating around the board, so players have to time and position everything properly to get the most sunlight.
Promising review: "Don't be fooled by the beautiful artwork, or the adorable little illustrated animals hidden within the components, Photosynthesis is a vicious abstract strategy game, and it's probably the best use of thematic gameplay for any tabletop game in 2017, worthy of being equated with other top tier uses of theme in designing gameplay, such as Shadows Over Camelot, Blood Rage, and just about anything produced by Fantasy Flights." —Paul Bulger
Get it from Amazon for $37.97.
3. A pair of plush slipper socks to keep your paws nice and warm.
4. A weighted plush toy offering comforting pressure for children and adults alike.
Promising review: "I struggle with minor anxiety and get bad cramps! I got this because I didn’t want a whole weighted blanket! Now, I take it everywhere and I couldn’t be happier!! Worth every penny, especially if it’s going to help me like it has!" —Emmy
Get it from Target for $20 (available in four animals: cheetah, green and pink dinosaur, and unicorn).
5. A stretchy silicone Ditto toy because who hasn't fantasized about smushing that lovable ball of goo?
6. A tortilla blanket for anyone who would like to be as warm and snuggly as a burrito.
Promising review: "The coolest blanket I've ever seen. It's not a huge, queen-size blanket but definitely big enough for a throw blanket. Love how soft it is and nicely made. Worth every penny!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $44.95.
7. A pack of six giant catnip joints so you can get high with your cat. That's everyone's dream, right?
8. A set of human face stress balls so you can get some aggression out without hurting any actual faces in the process.
Includes four stress balls, each with a different expression.
Promising review: "These little guys are so weird and squishy! I really love them! I will admit, though, they freak some people out. Not for everyone, but I think they’re hilarious!" —Kcarswell
9. A Shrek toothpaste cap to make all your TikTok dreams (or nightmares?) come true.
I thought products like this were only true in fairytales.
Get it from CasualChicken on Etsy for $9.99.
10. A keychain shaped like a classic Ikea bag sure to either bring back fond memories of eating Swedish meatballs or horrible flashbacks to melting down in the outrageously long checkout line.
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
11. A Nintendo desk lamp that recreates Mario smacking a question block with his little jump move. It doesn't make any noise, but that's OK, you can provide your own.
Get it from Target for $34.99.
12. A sullen cat candle worth hanging out with on your bad days because misery loves company.
All candles are hand poured and handmade in Toronto, Canada.
Promising review: "I bought one of the cat candles from here for my friend’s birthday, and oh my gosh… I didn’t realize how adorable candles could be!! Beautifully made, lovely scent, and very cute packaging! I especially love the little freebie candle that came with my order; I’ll definitely be keeping that one for myself. 😉 Thanks so much! 💕" —Madison

Get it from Amazon for $9.86.
14. A pair of socks featuring Kevin spilling chili that you can look at for comfort whenever you think you had a day.
Get them from Amazon for $14.95 (available in three colors).
15. A simple black mug with an important secret message that reveals itself when you add a hot drink.
16. An ironic Dracula garlic crusher ready to mince several cloves with a simple twist of his head. I'd wager this is easier to clean than a traditional garlic press AND it's cute.
This little blood-sucker is 100% food-safe, BPA-free, and dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I was getting very tired of the garlic presses that turn garlic into a mush and require incredible force to mash the clove into unrecognizable oblivion. This is far easier and turns the garlic into pieces rather than mush." —C. Pearlman
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
17. Sponges that look like quaint embroidery, despite their blunt messages. It even comes with a suction cup frame for storage!
It comes with four sponges with different cross-stitch designs, a frame, and suction cups. Warning for language prudes: Some of the messages include curse words.
Promising review: "I love these! Especially the frame it comes with, didn’t expect that. I gave some as a gift and my parents love them so much they don't want to use them." —honest reviewer (:
Get it from Amazon for $14.55.
19. A sweet lil' Groot ready to hang out. You can attach this Guardian to anything from a stethoscope to a houseplant stem.
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
20. Kitschy oil and vinegar dispensers with a gravity-activated beak that spits out liquid as you pour. They also have measurements on the side — how convenient!
21. A burger bicycle bell for biking in the neighborhood or making late-night trips to McDonald's.
Promising review: "No, I didn't buy this for a kid. I bought it for my old self. And yes!! I absolutely love it! The housing is plastic but surprisingly sturdy. The bell sounds like a bike bell should, and hey, it's a burger — a favorite of mine after a long ride." —kim
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
22. A trio of opossum finger puppets in case you wanna start a really weird barbershop quartet and need some backup.
23. A pair of cat paw oven mitts so you can feel like a little critter in a fairytale bakery.
Get them from Amazon for $11.99.
24. A mini claw machine that won't eat all your quarters in one go. While this isn't a good fit for young children (choking hazard), some adults use it as an elaborate pill holder!
25. 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 $44.98 (available in two colors).
26. A Homer Simpson sponge holder that recreates everyone's favorite reaction gif. It even comes with a little drain to prevent mildew, making it both funny and practical.
Get it from Geek3DbySean on Etsy for $19.99+ (with or without a suction cup).
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 $13.97.
28. A punny 2023 desk calendar for adults who want a little mirth to start the day or for older kids who are just getting into wordplay.
Get it from Amazon for $15.29.
29. A miniature baking set with everything you need to make mouse-sized meals. Fans of Tiny Kitchen are sure to enjoy!
The set comes with a storage tin, rolling pin, wee knife, pizza/dough cutter, mixing spoon, three wee spoons, mixing bowl, pizza/pie pan, pie server, sheet pan, silicone cake and cupcake molds, two silicone finger mitts, and 48-page recipe book. The recipe book comes with explanations on how the food chemistry works so it's great for newbie food scientists.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
30. A ceramic diffuser shaped like a cute animal enjoying a nice soak. How relaxing!
Promising review: "It's the perfect size for personal use...because there are sensitive noses in my office, this is great for my desk. Love that I can diffuse oils for my personal consumption." —Patricia Ornellas
Get it from Amazon for $14.59+ (available in four animals).
31. A variety pack of soda for anyone who just really needs to know what buffalo wing-flavored pop tastes like.
Promising review: "Purchased for a Christmas gift. Shipping was scary fast, and it’s everything it’s intended to be. If you want something that tastes good and is easy to swallow, don’t buy this. This stuff is meant to turn people’s faces sideways and their worlds upside down. Great gag gift! 10/10 would buy again." —Austin V
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $25.79.
32. And Evian-themed slime that'll be refreshing to look at and rewarding to play with.
It's clear slime that comes with a mini toy Evian water bottle!
