1. An octopus-shaped exfoliating stick that'll give your skincare routine the dose of unparalleled CUTENESS it deserves. It gently exfoliates your skin and removes excess sebum, aka the oily substance that can make your pores look larger and your skin more shiny, and if blackheads or whiteheads are a regular concern of yours, this little thing can pull those out, too!
Promising review: "Cute and functional! After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
2. And a carbonated clay mask, which is equally as effective at exfoliating pores and removing blackheads as it is amusing to wear. It literally bubbles up on your face, and I'm pretty sure this is what Bob Ross was referring to when he said "happy little clouds."
Promising review: "I love this stuff! I received some for a gift and then purchased it for my daughter from Amazon. It feels like a clay mask going on, and then starts bubbling and turns to a thinner substance when it's done. I feel like it is very gentle on my face. My skin feels amazing after I wash it off. It feels like I used moisturizer, even though I did not. I hear that these masks are very popular in Japan." —L. Shea
Get it from Amazon for $11 (also available in multipacks).
3. A colorful magnetic visual grocery list so you can simply circle the items you'll need on your next supermarket run as you track your daily kitchen inventory. So much more satisfying than jotting a list down by hand, and it'll look better on your fridge than a notepad filled with your chicken scratch scribbles. (No offense!)
Reviewers say having a visual helps remind them of items they might have forgotten they needed, and it's conveniently organized by product type to make shopping more streamlined.
Elwyn is the small biz behind this *ingenious* grocery list, which is also very fun for kids to use!
Promising review: "Making a grocery list has never been more fun!" —Stephanie L. Bailey
Another promising review: "I bought this for my 87-year-old dad who doesn't go out to the market anymore. I do his shopping but his lists were so disorganized. Now he can circle what he wants and add any specifics on the side. And I don't have to go through his list over and over as I try to get everything on his list. Plus the drawings prompt his memory for items he wants. I'm very pleased with this purchase." —pat
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
4. A set of machine-washable Swedish dishcloths that come in such endearing prints, you'll hardly mind tackling the mountain of dirty bowls that somehow ends up accumulating in your sink by day's end.
These towels can absorb up to 15 times their own weight, are compostable, and each one can replace over a DOZEN paper towel rolls!
Promising review: "I was surprised by how handy these dishcloths are...I wasn't sure what to expect. I had never even heard of Swedish dishcloths. So far, I am loving using them! The best way I can describe them is a cross between a dishcloth and a sponge. I throw them in the dishwasher at the end of the day, as it says you can do, and then hang them to dry. They make washing dishes seem effortless, plus they have such cute designs to brighten your day! I will order more for sure! Maybe even as gifts!" —jeannie
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in 30 prints).
5. And an aesthetically pleasing reusable sponge, which will make scrubbing your crusty cookware post-dinner a lot more pleasant than using the smelly and gross disposable one currently wasting away on your counter!
They're made by Porter Lee's, a woman-owned small biz based in Portland, Oregon, that specializes in the ~cutest~ reusable home goods.
Promising review: "I love these sponges! They last forever and wash up super well. I just throw them in the washer with a load of towels. They are bright and cheery, too." —Vicky
Another promising review: "Love these sponges! I've only used them a couple of times, but so far so good. I washed and dried them first, and they completely held their shape and did not shrink for me! I think these will be a new favorite — I always hate tossing those disposable sponges and constantly having to buy more!" —Katie
Get it from Porter Lee's on Etsy for $9 (available in four terry cloth backing colors, and in several multipacks).
6. A time-saving Oxo Tot Grape Cutter, because manually slicing small, round produce into bite-sized pieces for your child's lunch every day is just the most tedious thing in the world. This handy thing quarters a bunch at a time, and some reviewers said they enjoy using it so much, they actually look for things they can cut up!
Oh, and it's not just for grapes! It's also perfect for cherry tomatoes, berries, olives, and many reviewers say it works on a variety of fruits!
Promising review: "When we went to search Amazon for 'grape cutters,' I was worried that we may have hit rock bottom. It doesn't get more simple than slicing a freaking grape. I mean it's not difficult, doesn't take an enormous amount of time, and isn't even really that inconvenient (at least no more than cutting any other toddler food)...yet, my wife and I found ourselves dreading the process every time our daughter wanted a handful of grapes. We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong. It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. I only take time to write reviews on products that I feel are truly worth my time to endorse, and this little gadget was more than worthy. If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...you won't regret it." —Michael
Get it from Amazon for $11.71.
7. A pair of microfiber mop slippers shaped like adorable little animals that'll pick up bits of dirt and dust from your floor during the nightly once-over you give your home — a heck of a lot more delightful than pushing a broom around!
Some reviewers spray their floors with cleaner and then just wipe with these on their feet! The slipper bottoms are detachable and machine-washable.
Promising review: "Makes cleaning the floor fun. Got a pair for me and my daughter. We have hardwood floors throughout the downstairs. These actually clean the floor as you are just walking around. Easy-to-wash detachable bottoms! Great invention!" —DeeDee
Another promising review: "I love this so much. It feels a lot like hotel slippers but less flimsy because of the mop part. You will not feel like you’re wearing a mop when wearing these. I have hardwood floors, so I vacuum a lot and rarely mop. These work so well in getting the dirt off the floor just by walking around doing your daily thing. I just throw the whole thing in the wash when it gets dirty!" —passionfrootgreentea
Get them from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in five sizes and 16 styles).
8. A vibrant weekly pill organizer to make the unpleasant ritual of taking your daily medication a little livelier with its rainbow compartments. There's one for each day of the week, with sections for morning and nighttime pills to help you keep track!
Promising review: "Remembering to take my vitamins consistently has been a problem in the past, so I bought this organizer to make the process as easy as possible. I didn't expect it to be so cute, and so fun to use! I feel accomplished when I reload it every week, and I don't might seeing it on my desk. Perfect for forgetful people who want to stay consistent!" —jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in green or pink).
9. And a space-saving Cabinet Caddy, which has nifty double-decker shelves you can organize all of your medicine in and just slide right out whenever it's vitamin time. So neat (literally and figuratively!).
It's also great for storing spices! Keep in mind, you will need clearance space of 11-inches deep by 11-inches tall.
Promising review: "First time EVER our medicine cabinet is organized! No more digging through baskets looking for something we need. Thank you!!" —Betsy
Another promising review: "I just got this and loaded it up to store prescriptions and medicines in my very narrow kitchen corner cupboard. Works so well I'm buying two more for other cupboards and uses! I have one very tall bottle that doesn't fit in here, but otherwise had no problems storing what I needed to in this unit. Very smooth operation, lightweight and sturdy, nice-looking unit, too. Someone had a great idea with this!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set with two shelves from Amazon for $32.99 (also available in a three-pack).
10. A super cool rock climbing mug to take your a.m. caffeine fix to new heights...or at least give you something to smile about at the start of the day. And the climbing hold handle will give you a fun little morning challenge as you grip and sip!
ClimberGoods is a small biz based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and their popular rock-climbing mugs are made by ceramicist and illustrator Alucard Arcane.
Promising review: "Great customer service, thanks so much guys! My boyfriend loved this! This mug poses a unique threat of having to make sure you have your grip right, but I think that’s the best thing about it. Very solid, good toughness on the hold itself, nice and rough. A super fun and unique gift! No screw holds or anything! You guys blew his mind!" —asdfg qwerty
Get it from ClimberGoods on Etsy for $26.95+ (available in eight colors).
11. Or a snazzy self-stirring mug that'll automatically swirl the milk into your coffee while you stare at its hypnotic vortex. Your morning beverage game just got a *huge* upgrade.
You can use it for mixing up cold drinks as well!
Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug halfway with water, turn it on, and let it do its own thing." —Lina
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five colors).
12. A perky set of flower hair claws, because your hair routine doesn't have to take hours to be effective! These will elevate your look in mere seconds, and even reviewers with thick hair say they have great hold. Plus, the pretty color options will make even the most basic updos look IG-worthy.
13. An ingenious pack of leaf funnels, which will come in handy when you're watering your plants — especially if you always notice little floods forming everywhere except the inside of the pot. They act like little chutes so the water can slide directly into the dirt, and since each pack includes three shades of green, they'll blend right in!
Promising review: "These little doodads are a very cute addition to the array of plants in my house, and they funnel the water precisely into the pot so there's no spillage on the floor. My plants are clustered together and some are difficult to reach, so these leaves make it easier to get the water where it's needed." —PR Crandall
Get a set of three from Amazon for $12.90.
14. A cheery wireless keyboard and mouse, because whether you're checking emails in the morning or have a job that involves clickety-clacking away all day, having something colorful to look at will make your computer time feel all the more enjoyable.
Promising review: "I was extremely excited when this keyboard and mouse combo arrived, and it has not disappointed! It’s so bright and fun! It types really smoothly and has the most satisfying click/resistance on the keys. I am in love! It’s definitely perked up my work from home space! Would most definitely recommend!" —Kat P
Get it from Amazon for $31.50+ (available in 16 colors).
15. A pack of Starface pimple patches, which look like fun rainbow star stickers rather than gunk-sucking zit zappers. They contain hydrocolloid, which helps combat those pesky skin eruptions many of us experience on the daily by absorbing fluid and reducing inflammation, and reviewers say they're so cute, they have no problem wearing them out of the house!
Starface donates 100% of its net proceeds from this product to non-profits that protect and support Black and LGBTQ+ lives.
Promising review: "My daughter asked me to order these because they heal acne and stay put all night. We have tried others, but they just don't stay on, nor do they heal as effectively. They're so fun that she has even worn them out of the house." —R. Sine
Another promising review: "AMAZING. I have a problem with picking and touching my face, and these work really well to keep me from nervous-scratching and they also help repair skin. They also look SUPER CUTE!!!" —El
Get a pack of 32 from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in Sesame Street designs and other fun styles!).
16. A silicone finger puppet toothbrush to make the nightly struggle of getting your toddler to brush their teeth more enjoyable for all parties involved, since it'll turn the whole endeavor into a cute little show. Plus, its soft material will be super gentle on your baby's gums.
Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews, but this has been a game-changer for us! I have a 13-month-old who hates having her teeth brushed (we tried EVERYTHING before getting this). We've only had it for two days, and there have been no tears since getting it! I let her brush with her regular toothbrush and then follow up with this. She loves it!" —Tyler Parsons
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in four colors).
17. A pair of glowing light saber chopsticks so the force will be with you — at dinnertime, at least. Now even your most basic meals will seem ~out of this world~.
BuzzFeed Shopping's Emma Lord is a big fan of these: "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger that I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony
Get them from Amazon for $11.97.
18. A neat little rotating cube timer you can switch up just by turning it to one of the pre-set intervals! It'll look great on your desk, and now you'll actually find pleasure in carving out dedicated time for the tasks on your to-do list.
You can also use it as a clock — don't forget the AAA batteries!
Promising review: "Makes staying on task fun. The delight of this timer is its ease of use. Just flip to a time, and it's going!" —Amazon Customer
Another promising review: "I picked up this little timer on a whim after reading about the Pomodoro technique for the 100th time, and vowing that this time will be the time that I actually follow through instead of lapsing back into flitting from thing to thing, starting tons of projects, and never getting any done. I don't know what it is about the timer, but having it beside me has worked like a talisman. As long as it's in view I find it very easy to stay focused and stay on track. It's like a mini personal life coach that just stands there and taps her toes while you work." —chandra orr
Get it from Amazon for $18.90 (available in five colors and with several different pre-set times).
19. A lovable polar bear hydrating eye stick, because waking up with dark circles and under-eye bags is a drag...unless you've got this nifty thing on hand. It contains a soothing balm made from Icelandic mineral water (!), which helps prevent moisture loss and minimize puffiness — and it's way cuter than your face roller.
Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben
Another promising review: "This is a very fun pick-me-up to have during the middle of the day. You can put this right over your makeup and it is very refreshing and feels like you’re giving yourself a beauty boost." —GirlInDallas
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
20. An adjustable weighted fitness hoop that's perfect if you're the sort of person who thinks the best exercise is the kind you can do while watching TV (I'm with ya). Use it like a hula hoop, and not only will you get a great core workout, it can also help relieve lower back pain from things like slouching on your couch while WFH all day. Much more fun than your current routine of doing crunches during Housewives marathons.
Promising review: "Like everyone else, I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a shot. Super fun to use. I'll admit that it's difficult to start, but once you get the hang of it after a few minutes, it's super easy and fun. It is a little loud but nothing unbearable. The pieces are easy to add to, and the weight is not too heavy or light." —Richard Enriquez
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 16 colors).
21. A lotus-shaped cotton swab holder so cute, you might even look forward to scraping away earwax and removing your eye makeup! And now you won't have a bulky box taking up your b-room counter space.
It's great for holding toothpicks, too!
Promising review: "I purchased one for myself and one for my mom, and we both love them! My cotton swabs have never looked cuter on my sink vanity :) There are three layers of 'petals' that can be removed to allow for a bigger hole for whatever you wish to put inside. Very satisfied with my purchase and would purchase again. Great idea for a super cute gift!" —Jennifer M. Morgan
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in green or black).
22. A dual cereal dispenser in case you've ever dreamed of transforming your kitchen into a mini version of one of those fancy office cafeterias. Not only will this make preparing your breakfast feel a whole lot more special, it'll also let your kids grab their own cereal on hectic mornings (without any mess)!
Promising review: "Love, love, love. I bought two of these and my kitchen looks fancy now. 🤣 Easier and much more fun to access breakfast." —Jennifer
Another promising review: "We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space!!! We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I've been trying to declutter and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter, and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!" —tenle
Get it from Amazon for $33.97.
23. Plus a simple yet genius split cereal bowl to turn the most important meal of the day into an interactive experience, since you'll get to construct each perfect, non-soggy bite. Playing with your food has never yielded such rewarding results.
Promising review: "This product is something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I’m being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I’ll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." —Sarah F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors, as well as in multipacks).
24. An amusingly batty Dracula garlic crusher, because if you're someone who always dreads dinner prep, this little contraption will ~slay~ the mincing game while sparing you from walking around with potent garlic fingers.
It can fit multiple cloves at a time — just stick 'em in, press, and twist!
Promising review: "Love this little vampire! This past year, I have finally started to cook for myself. If you asked me one of the most annoying things about preparing your own meals, I would say it's chopping garlic. I just can't do it in a reasonable amount of time and I hate the way that it makes my hands feel and smell. When I came across this device on Amazon, I decided to give it a try. I must say that I was really impressed by how quickly and easily it chopped garlic up. I am easily saving at least five minutes per meal prep thanks to it! And, since I happen to love monster movies, it makes a nice little conversation piece sitting on my kitchen ledge. Very functional and fun novelty." —Paul A. Martorano
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 — don't forget to apply the coupon to save 20%!
25. A psychedelic shower curtain, which will give you something happy to focus on while you wash your hair, rather than doing what so many of us find ourselves doing (replaying every awkward thing we've ever said through our heads as we apply conditioner). 😫
Promising review: "So quirky and fun. I love it! The material is a nice quality and it makes my bathroom feel so unique and upbeat. All my guests compliment it." —Meadow wehrley
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four sizes, as well as a black and white style).
26. An "awww!"-inducing baby Nessie tea infuser, because if you must wait for your caffeine while it steeps, you should, at the very least, have this charming face staring at you from your mug. 🥺
Promising review: "I love Nessie! Such a great little strainer. Very fun seeing their head stick out of my tea mug. Holes are a good size, doesn’t let too many tea leaves go through when straining. Very easy to clean, since Nessie is made of silicone. If you have someone who loves tea, this is a great gift for them!!" —Haley Decker
Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (available in three colors, as well as a pack of three).
27. Or an absolutely darling snail tea bag holder that'll become your new morning bes-tea. It would be perfectly acceptable to use as a cute mug accessory alone, but the fact that you can wrap your tea bag string around it to keep it from slipping? Icon status.
Some reviewers even use them as potted plant decor!
Promising review: "Love these fun little quirky tea slugs. They work on all shapes and sizes of mugs and have brought a smile to all who either used them or were the lucky recipients of their own batch of tea slugs from me. They clean up well with just a quick rinse under the sink and are even fun to use on wine or cocktail glasses to help guests track their drink." —NC
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $6.48.
28. And a set of blooming tea balls, which will turn your cup into a gorgeous flower show right before your eyes. Be forewarned, these will forever ruin your daily cup of Lipton.
Reviewers say you can re-steep these balls multiple times with good results. For the best viewing experience, you might want to purchase a clear teapot or mug!
Promising review: "I love the tea blooms. They are soooo flavorful and so much fun to watch. I will definitely order them again!!!! I have been telling everyone about them." —Amazon Customer
Another promising review: "The tea is packaged in beautiful stay-fresh pouches. Every flavor is a floral delight. Multiple steeps, does not bitter. Blooms are unfailingly beautiful. Not only is this great-tasting tea, each pot is an experience of its own. Highly recommended." —CH
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $25.95.
29. A wall-mounted toothpaste dispenser, because even if you're someone who never looks forward to brushing, this nifty gadget will make you feel ever-so-fancy every time you use it. Plus, you'll never squeeeze every last drop out manually ever again!
It comes with adhesive stickers — no installation required!
Promising review: "Where have you been all my life? Love it! Easy to install and works beautifully. Brilliant idea! No more awkward tube issues! I enjoy toothbrushing more — it's more fun and not as annoying with my hands free, and it dispenses the perfect portion. It's easy to clean — just open the box and rinse the parts under running water. It's great for those with arthritis, so I bought one for my 82-year-old mom." —Amy
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in several styles and multipacks).
30. A set of cleanser-whipping cups for transforming your good old daily face wash into a luxurious spa treatment. Place a small amount of product into the cup with a bit of water, start pumping, and you've got yourself a rich foam ready for slathering!
A dime-size amount of product yields an entire container of thick foam!
Promising review: "Great price for a set of two! I was able to keep one for myself and give one to my mother. It is very easy to use and extends the life of my products, while the foam that is produced is easy on my skin." —Vicky
Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes and three color combos).
31. And a 3D-printed foam soap dispenser attachment that'll give your Disney-loving soul a boost of serotonin every time you wash your hands and see Mickey's charming head on your palm.
These pumps can be made to fit Method, Dial, and Bath & Body Works foam soap dispensers — just choose the one you plan on using with it from the dropdown menu!
Mouse Delights 3D is a small biz specializing in — you guessed it — Disney-themed, 3D-printed gadgets and accessories, from headbands and jewelry to keychains and straw toppers.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this product!! Is it necessary? No. Did it, and does it, bring me endless amounts of joy? Absolutely!! I was squealing like a child the first time I used it. I will be ordering more for my family who are also Disney obsessed. It makes me smile every single time I use it. Thank you for such a fun and well-made product!" —Chisten Overton
Get it from Mouse Delights 3D on Etsy for $9.99 (available in 20 colors, in Mickey or Minnie shapes, and in styles to fit three types of soap dispensers).
32. A very satisfying smudge-proof eyeliner stamp, because achieving the perfect cat-eye shouldn't be a source of stress when you're rushing around in the morning. Just line your eyes using the fine end, and then *boop!* stamp the outer corners to complete the look sans shaky hands. No jagged wings to see here!
It comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye!
Promising review: "Best eyeliner ever! This item was a 'TikTok made me buy it' LOL but overall, I am truly happy with this purchase. Thank you! Your product is truly amazing!" —Samantha Lopez
Another promising review: "I've been using this product for at least a year and I absolutely love it! Waterproof, smudge-proof, and looks amazing! I highly recommend trying it out for yourself!" —Links EP
Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.72+ (available in three styles as well as a combo set).
33. And a jar of Danessa Myricks Beauty's Colorfix Eye, Cheek, and Lip Cream Pigment so you can infuse some long-lasting color and shimmer into your all-neutral makeup routine. It comes in a gorgeous array of matte, metallic, and high shine hues that'll stay put for up to 24 hours!
Danessa Myricks Beauty is a Black- and woman-owned small biz dedicated to creating "a world of beauty for people from all races, ages, and genders." FYI, this product is cruelty-free!
Promising review: "This is my first time trying this product and I absolutely love it. It is transfer-proof and the color is very vibrant. I used it as a lipstick, eyeliner, and an eyeshadow. I have combination skin, and I have to say I’m pleased with the wearability of this product. Upon applying it, it feels like a cream, but once it dries, it becomes weightless and matte. I really loved this product because I could barely tell I was wearing anything on my face. Usually, I have a hard time finding products that are genuinely transfer-proof, smudge-proof, and weightless. I am so happy I stumbled upon this product. I also have to say that it’s pretty easy to take off as well depending on what products you use. I used the Garnier waterproof micellar water and with a few swipes there was very little smudging, and the product came right off." —whailey
Get it from Sephora for $18 (available in three finishes and 30 colors).
34. And finally, a complimentary doormat, because we all could probably use a lil' pick-me-up when we get home after an exhausting commute. It might've been a beast of a day, but as far as your welcome mat is concerned, no one would ever know it by looking at you!
Promising review: "Super cute, so happy I found this! Makes all of my visitors and myself feel good every time we go to my front door." —Amazon Customer
Another promising review: "Such a fun mat! Love! Very durable and looks perfect on my porch." —Shelley White
