This set includes two pairs of lightsaber chopsticks, and batteries are included!
Promising review: "These are the coolest chopsticks I have ever seen. The instructions for use and cleaning were clear and concise and the light that they give off is amazing!" —Jennifer P. Lane
Get it from Amazon for $12.97
2. A set of eye-popping fine point pens because why settle for just black and blue pens when you could have all the colors of the rainbow at your disposal?
These are designed not to bleed through thin pages, so all your planners and journals can get the flair pen treatment.
Promising review: "I love how this pen feels to hold and it writes beautifully! I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use and I don't remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!" —Marcia

3. A pack of Skin1004's Zombie masks to enjoy the skin-tightening, fine line-reducing benefits this mask promises, with the added bonus of 15 entertaining minutes looking like an extra in The Walking Dead. It'll just make that post-facial reveal all the sweeter!
The kit includes eight Zombie Pack sets (powder and activator), plus one applicator brush!
Promising review: "When you put it on, the smell hits you hard. As it is on your face the smell is not too bad and the mask tingles as it dries. Wash it off and reveal clean, smooth skin. Plus it's fun to take pictures looking like a cracked mess." —raine

4. A pair of microfiber mop slippers if you thought there was absolutely no way to make cleaning the floors fun. Think again!
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 $13.99+ (available in four sizes and in 17 styles).
5. An electric wine opener so you can crack open a bottle with just the click of a button (literally). It looks very sleek sitting in the charging dock on a countertop or bar cart and includes a foil cutter for a clean slice every time.
I received this as a birthday gift and though it is one of the most unnecessary things that I own, I LOVE it. It looks very cool and expensive in person. I can almost guarantee anyone who partakes in wine, even occasionally, will love this!
Promising review: "This wine opener is easy to use and reliable. It really is the best wine opener I have ever owned. The blue light stays lit as I keep it plugged in all the time so it serves as a kitchen nightlight as well. It has never pushed a cork into the bottle like my previous opener and the foil cutter on the right side cuts through the foil wrapping every time too. Im actually thinking about gifting one of these to my brother." —Suzanne Law
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
6. A too-cute octopus exfoliating stick that's a novel and shockingly effective way to draw out excess sebum, whiteheads, and blackheads from your pores. And after you're done ogling at all the gunk that's been evicted from your face, just give it a rinse and reuse later.
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me and 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.
7. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light for adding an enchanting and not-too-bright glow to any hallway or bathroom when those 2 a.m. gotta-go urges hit.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice so I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
8. A too-cute Dracula garlic crusher because it minces several cloves at once with a simple twist of his head. Keep your hands odor free and the vampires at bay. Well, all of them except this one!
This little bloodsucker 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 $24.95.
9. A teensy tissue box home to transform that busy name-brand box into modern decor, complete with tear- and snot-absorbing "smoke" coming out the top.
Promising review: "Such a cute alternative to ugly tissue boxes! Whyyyyyy are tissue box designs soooooo ugly?! Nothing ever goes with my decor, and there are 50 different prints in a package. These are a great solution to keep everything neutral and looking great. They're a pretty lightweight plastic, so they do tend to move around when you pull out a tissue, but it's not a big deal." —Heather W
Get it from Amazon for $7.86+ (also available in blue).
10. Durable Wonesion nonslip sneakers if minimalist shoes just aren't your thing. Not only do these make a bold statement, but they'll keep your feet happy even after a full work day.
Promising review: "These shoes are amazing! When I first tried them on, I was a bit skeptical because of the support. It's something that I never felt wearing a shoe. I thought, 'Great, here comes a blister.' NOPE. The support in these shoes, is absolutely incredible. I'm on my feet A LOT while at work — 14 out of the 16 hours I work, I'm walking or running around halls to keep up with patients/clients. And let me just say WOW! The comfortability is astonishing. I figured that since they are a little heavy, that my feet would be tired, or even puffy and swollen — NOPE. ABSOLUTELY NOT. My feet feel great after I take them off. No blisters, the fit is great. I'm OBSESSED with these shoes. After I'm done writing this review, I'm ordering another pair! These shows are the real deal." —Kay
Get them from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–10.5 and in 17 colors).
11. A set of Globbles so you can stop picking your nails and start joining the legions of TikTokers already loving this stress-relieving fidget toy. These colorful balls are not just fun to squeeze and stretch, but they also stick to pretty much any flat surface without leaving behind messy residue.
Promising review: "Bought a six-pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could — the inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69.
12. A retro-inspired pixel art Bluetooth speaker that does a lot more than just play music. Besides functioning as an alarm, notification center, and more, the speaker also pairs with an app where you can select from pre-made pixel art designs or create your own to display on the programmable LED screen.
Promising review: "I love it! It's so cute and it fits perfect with the decorations by my gaming setup. I love that you can change the pixels to what you want them to be with the app. I also love that you can play games on it; I think that's really cool. I was not expecting the sound quality to be so good — it sounds so clear! Just a side note: The noises the keys make are so so satisfying!!" —Asjani
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in six colors).
13. These flower-shaped fizzing toilet bombs for cleaning your porcelain throne with all the sweet smells and bubbling pomp and circumstance of a bath bomb.
Blue Poppy Bath is a Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-based Etsy shop that sells a wide range of personal care products handmade in small batches using simple, skin-safe ingredients.
Promising review: "These work so well! I was hesitant to try something that wasn’t an industrial level cleaner, but these work equally as well if not better. And it smells so much better too! They are individually packaged so they hold together well, fizz up like a lush bath bomb, and leave everything very clean. Absolutely would recommend." —Nina Salamie
Get a 10-pack from Blue Poppy Bath on Etsy for $9.50 (available seven scents).
14. A gentle hair-removing glove because you're already going to give your pet all they pets they deserve. You may as well multitask with this mitt, which helps manage shedding (no matter your pet's coat type) and is super easy to clean — fur lifts away in one solid, satisfying sheet.
Promising review: "This mitt works just as advertised. I have a long-haired cat, and she loves having the mitt give her a massage and I love the hair the mitt collects." —Sandra Rohe
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three colors).
15. A set of blooming tea balls to plop in your piping hot mug for a drink that not only tastes great but looks like it was plucked out of an enchanted garden.
A pack comes with 12 and reviewers say you can steep these balls multiple times with good results. You might also want to pick up a clear teapot or mug so you can fully enjoy the blooms.
Promising review: "I was actually very pleasantly surprised by the cost point and quality of this tea. At this point, we have consumed all the tea, by which they have all had a beautiful smooth flavor that we have thoroughly enjoyed. The flowers are also very nice indeed and a great conversation piece." —John
Get it from Amazon for $25.95.
16. A rechargeable electric lighter if you're tired of using that old gas station lighter and want one that's windproof, splash-proof, flame-free, and just overall very nice to look at.
Promising review: "I got the three-pack, one for me and two as gifts to friends who are trying to reduce waste. We all love these lighters because a single charge really does last, we don't have to buy any more disposable lighters for the foreseeable future, and the length is perfect for hard-to-reach wicks. Getting used to how to place the arc on the wick and understanding that there was a safety timeout took me a bit to get used to but wasn't frustrating." —Salim
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors).
17. A scalp massager with large silicone-tipped bristles so you can recreate that salon-quality head massage without the awkward small talk. It's also a game-changer for anyone battling dry, flaky scalp buildup.
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
18. A one-handed bug-catching tool that makes evicting creeper crawlers from your home feel like a game. It's also equipped with a magnifying glass if you and the kids want to get a good look at the enemy.
Promising review: "Simple and works well for catching bugs. It’s the classic 'glass and slide a piece of paper under it' method turned into a device where you no longer have to go hunting for a piece of paper or worry about holding it tightly over the glass. Used it to catch and release various small critters in the house out into the yard rather than smashing them. The magnifying glass part works well and it’s interesting to observe the bugs before releasing them." —Patrick
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
19. A minimalist flip-down hanger for a sleek storage solution that cleverly doubles as modern art when not in use.
Promising review: "These hooks are functional and fun. There are five hooks for hanging your items. It's plastic, not wood — the description states this. It's easy to install and came with a paper ruler to use as a guide when installing. I have rain coats, umbrellas, sweaters, and dog leashes hanging on it and it's holding well." —M String
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in seven colors).
20. A cardboard cat scratcher lounge because it looks like one-of-a-kind decor while doubling as a stimulating, stress-relieving tool for your cats so they stop destroying your furniture.
PetFusion is a small business that was founded in 2010 with a mission to create high-quality pet products with designs that fit seamlessly into the home.
Promising review: "Amazing. I bought mine over a year ago and my cats LOVE them. I hung them up like shelves and the cats love to hang out on them, sleep, stretch, and survey the house. My friends don't even realize they're cat shelves until the cats jump on them! Fast-forward over a year later and they're still in pretty good shape. Worth the money! I picked up some L brackets at The Home Depot to hang them and they worked like a charm." —Jayni
Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in two colors).
21. A cutesy silicone spoon holder to sit on the edge of your pots and pans and fearlessly guard against some of cooking's most annoying perils. Spoon drippings? Not today! Bubbly spillover from a pot boiled over? Nah. This doubles as a steam releaser!
Promising review: "Probably the coolest holder I have ever seen. Bought it for my wife and she loves it and thinks it's cute. I laugh when I look at it! Hangs on all of our pots and pans and stays cool. Easy to clean and looks awesome. Great addition to any kitchen. Works great and does exactly what it is intended to do!" —Logan E
Get it from Amazon: the crab utensil rest for $19.95 (available in red and teal) or the witch for $18.95.
22. A pack of leaf funnels if watering your indoor jungle ends with as much water on the floor as in your plants. This will help you avoid spills while blending in seamlessly with the rest of your greenery.
Promising review: "When I saw these I knew I had to give them a try. I have a few plants that are quite lush and always have a difficult time watering them without dripping water onto my floor. Immediately put them to use upon opening the package and they worked like a dream. No dripping water! They are larger than I expected but that works great for me." —C.Brown
Get a set of three from Amazon for $10.90.
23. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker so you can turn any frozen fruit into a creamy, sorbet-like treat in minutes. This easy-to-clean machine is particularly perfect for vegans, those with dietary restrictions, or anyone who usually rejects fruit as a suitable dessert option.
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $47.95+ (available in six colors).
24. A colorful wireless keyboard and mouse set that'll add some joy-inducing color to your workspace without any bothersome cords to tie you down.
The set includes a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. Pick up some AA batteries — both will need them!
Promising review: "Every time I walk into my red office and see this beautiful keyboard it makes me happy. It looks just like it does in the photo. It's such a jolt of color with its cool circular retro buttons. It's just a pleasure to use. If you need a pick-me-up (and who doesn't this year?), I can't recommend this highly enough." —CA-girl
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 12 styles).
25. A pet nail file board for taming the claws of your dramatic doggo who won't even let you near them with clippers. This works just like an emery board to file down any sharp edges but can be made into a "game" your dog actually won't hate.
ScratchPad for Dogs is an Atlanta-based Etsy shop specializing in their genius paw maintenance invention.
Promising review: "I bought the scratchpad as a last-ditch effort to trim my dog's very long nails. He won't let anyone touch his feet and my vet suggested putting him under sedation to get the job done. He figured out this 'game' in 15 minutes and his nails look great! I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much for creating an easy and fun alternative to clippers!" —astacy051
Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $46.95+ (available in four styles and three coarseness levels).
26. A pair of meat shredder claws because they look like a fun Wolverine toy, but are actually incredibly effective at shredding meat quickly. One session with these and you'll scoff at the thought of poking at a pork shoulder with two forks again.
Promising review: "I used these to shred chicken for Thanksgiving and was so excited when I realized how effective these were. They were easy to hold and I didn't have to wait until the chicken was cooled. It made quick work of a usually tedious chore." —Bonnie Maxfield
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in three colors).
27. An adorable foaming hand soap to make hand washing more fun than you ever thought possible with a refillable foam flower-dispensing pump and a non-drying formula with a fresh, citrusy scent.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord enjoys this fun, floral soap whenever she washes her hands:
"I've been using this soap for two weeks now, and not only is it super hydrating for my hands, the yuzu scent is just calming and lovely, and I'm obsessed with how light and frothy the foaming suds are from the soap. The best part is that the bottle is totally reusable; you buy the dispenser once, and then you can get refills of the foaming soap from then on out."
Get it from Amazon for $20.49.
28. A lemon-scented cleaning gel if spending hours wiping out keyboards, air conditioning vents, and speakers is not your idea of a good time. Just plop this gooey godsend on whatever needs cleaning and watch as it oh so satisfyingly lifts dirt and dust in a snap.
Promising review: "I purchased this product to clean those little spaces in my car filled with random crumbs from my husband and dog hair and it works amazing. Picked up everything and didn’t leave a residue. The lemon scent was faint and didn’t overpower the vehicle while I was cleaning it. But this definitely got in all the little nooks and crannies." —Kimberly
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
29. A reusable 16-ounce collapsible coffee cup so you can feel like Mary Poppins and shock your barista as you pull full-on cups out of your teeny tiny bag.
Stojo is a small biz founded by three New York dads who wanted a better way to get their convenient coffee fix without all the waste. Now they make stylish collapsible essentials in a variety of sizes and colors, including bottles and food storage containers!
Note that the 12-ounce size does not include a straw, but both the 16-ounce and 24-ounce sizes do!

So long as you remember to bring it, it's all the convenience of to-go coffee with none of the waste. It's leakproof and, when you're all done, it collapses down teeny tiny and can be tossed back in your bag. Oh! And it comes with a straw, so all you iced coffee lovers can get in on the action, too.
Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in four sizes and in 16 colors).
30. An adorable cactus humidifier that's powered with a USB cable and moonlights as an emotional support succulent while delivering the soothing airborne hydration your skin and hair crave.
Promising review: "I LOVE these little humidifiers! I bought my first one to use at my desk at work because the air is so dry in the building, and it has been a godsend. Not only does it help keep my sinuses happier, but it looks great too. I bought a second one for my nightstand that I use while I sleep at night, and they both work perfectly." —Selene Schneider
Get it from Amazon for $12.89+ (available in three styles).
31. A marble cheese slicer with two replacement wires for a *gouda* way to upgrade your already legendary charcuterie game or make solo snacking a little cuter and a lot easier.
It comes with two replacement wires and has plastic feet on the bottom for stability and counter protection.
Promising review: "I had one of these years ago and loved it. I had to get another. The marble is heavy so there's no lifting up off the counter while using. Wire is the absolute best thing to cut cheese. Buy it, you won't be sorry." —razz
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
32. A whimsical cloud-shaped magnetic key holder because its too-cute design just might be motivation enough to put your keys in an easy-to-find location, so you don't tear apart your room hunting for them later.
33. A hands-free electric can opener to effortlessly crack open some canned corn without slicing your finger on jagged lids brought to you by manual openers.
Promising review: "I bought this for my mother, who has some problems with arthritis, and when we gathered around to see if it worked, we were all pretty impressed. It left the edge of the can crimped in a way that avoids those sharp edges, which I personally have been sliced by several times. At first, it didn't seem like it was working, but then we lifted it and boom! Open can. I might get one for myself, honestly." —Rachel C.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 10 colors).
34. A pack of velvet pocket scrunchies if you're committed to going purse-free even when you wear that dress without pockets. Shock your friends when you pull a wad of cash out of seemingly thin air!
Promising review: "I love these hair scrunches. They are very comfortable around your wrist and I love the fact that I’m able to store money along with lipstick. It’s great when you're on the go, at a party, or even at school. The zipper is well made and so is the hair tie." —YJORDAN
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two color combos).
35. A Shark Tank-approved Saucemoto dip clip so you can trick out your car with a designated spot for drive-thru condiments and never suffer through dry, ketchup-less fries ever again.
SauceMoto launched in 2017 and pretty quickly became a viral sensation with their genius cup holder for condiments. The three founders appeared on Shark Tank in season 10 and secured a deal with Kevin O’Leary.
Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela
Get set of two from Amazon for $10 (available in three colors).
36. A set of adhesive cable organizers that combines style and organization to tame the tangled mess of cords currently overtaking your desk.
Brighttia is a New York-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in industrial and modern interior lighting and decor.
Promising review: "These brass cable organizers are beautiful and high quality. I’m using two of them to keep a plug-in sconce cord attached to the wall and to direct the cord to the electrical outlet. These little gold pieces add a touch of functionality and glamour to the sconces. Exactly what I was looking for." —Amy Margolis
Get it from Brighttia on Etsy for $12.98 (available in eight colors).
37. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets because (to my shock and horror) you have to clean the thing that cleans your dishes, and these tablets make doing so as quick and easy as...well...running the dishwasher.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I used it in my dishwasher. Had standing water on the bottom, dropped one tablet in the water. Put it on light wash cycle and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super and after my positive experience I am happy to cosign his recommendation." —cheapchicshopper
