1. A dimmable sad duck nightlight because sometimes you just have to look at this emotionally deflated creature on your desk and be like, "Welp. At least I'm doing better than that little dude."
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available also as a cabbage?? I don't know, you do do).
2. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to bring balance to The Force *and* to your sushi.
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.
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
3. A spooky skull-shaped ice mold, because honestly, if we're all gonna become TikTok bartenders now, we might as well be metal as heck about it.
Pro-tip: these molds also work for making soaps, birthday candles, chocolate, and fondant, covering all your miscellaneous undead needs.
Promising review: "Got these to make ice cubes for a Halloween party. It's very easy to use and easy to clean. The cubes come out perfectly. I'm probably going to try to use it to make chocolate skulls next." —Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.59.
4. A mini inflatable tube guy for your desk to cheer you on (or remind you to take a lil' dance break whenever you overwork yourself).
Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things large and small will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark
Get it from Amazon for $9.51.
5. A Michael Scott/Prison Mike reversible dishwasher magnet so you always know whether the dishes in there are clean and need to be put away, or whether they're dirty and here to SCARE YOU STRAIGHT.
Promising review: "My whole family is a fan of The Office, so when I was searching for a magnet we could use on our dishwasher, this was the hands-down winner. Does it go with my farmhouse decor? Nope, not at all. But it does get the attention of two teenage boys. Had I gone with something a bit more my decor style, I can guarantee you it would not be as useful. I mean, we all would much rather see Prison Mike staring back at us than suit and tie Michael Scott, right? And there is only one way for that to happen...clean out the dishwasher!" —R. Funk
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
6. A vintage-style orange juice carton vase to keep in your kitchen so you can get your daily dose of vitamin C. (The "C" stands for cuteness, right??)
Check out a TikTok of the orange juice vase in action.

Promising review: "I couldn't resist this silly vase! It's just as cute as expected in person. I have no complaints at all. Very happy with my purchase." —Kaylah
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
7. A set of zombie ice pop molds for some delectably undead snacking — reviewers use these for fruit, yogurt, and ice cream pops, and especially love that the "stick" is a base that you can use to stand them up like a terrifying lil' action figure.
Promising review: "My 4-year-old granddaughter loved these zombies molds. She had fun making the ice pops! She made yogurt and fruit pops, and they looked just like they are pictured." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of four from Amazon for $23.17 (available in three other styles).
8. A truly iconic tortilla blanket so that everyone in your household can achieve the greatest aspiration of them all: becoming a human burrito.
Promising review: "My son (7) loves tacos and I wanted to get him something to soften the quarantine blow and THIS WAS IT! He has had the blanket (so soft!) around him for the past three weeks, pretty much nonstop. Thank you to the makers for letting my son 'become a burrito!'" —VA Resident
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven styles, including waffles and pizza).
9. Plus a baguette-shaped pillow that not only looks so realistic that you might be tempted to take a CHOMP out of it, but reviewers say is ridiculously comfortable?? People swear by it for everything from a mini body pillow to lumbar support to the ultimate "nap on the couch" pillow.
Promising review: "I bought this delicious bread morsel to cheer up a friend. It was perfect, she really 'kneaded' it. She uses it for cuddling and sleeping. This yummy bread-cake doesn’t feel 'crummy' at all, it’s soft. It was the yeast I could do. If your friend loves bread, and she’s going through a tough time you 'butter' get this for them." —Nora Lee Majors
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three sizes).
10. A bottle of Haeyo Mayo, or "mayonnaise for your hair" — this hair mask's special blend of shea butter, macadamia seed oil, and egg yolk extract will restore your hair's natural moisture and shine (and quite possibly give you a craving for a BLT, but hey, your hair's gonna look REAL nice while you make it).
Promising review: "I have dead hair from bleaching it so much and I was a bit skeptical if this would work, but oh my god it makes my hair softer than a corgi's bottom. And it smells really good too. Will definitely restock when I run out!" —hanyouinlove
Get it from Amazon for $12.92.
11. A small duck-themed salad bowl so there's no such thing as a Sad Lunch Desk Salad ever again — now at least you have *one* coworker who will always quack you up mid-meal.
Promising review: "I love this bowl for putting snacks in. It is good in the dishwasher and holds an okay amount of stuff. I love the cute face on it." —Mana McPhee
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
12. A pair of bubble slides that are basically what happens when Crocs does a collab with Glinda the Good Witch to make the comfiest statement shoe possible? These "spa slippers" can be worn inside or out, and are designed to disperse the pressure across the bottom of your feet to relieve aches and pains.
Promising review: "Every time I wear these people ask where I got them and are intrigued 😂. I wear these every day! The material was harder/not as cushy at first but after breaking in they’re soft and cushier. Also can be cleaned/disinfected easily if I wear them out and get them dirty. Sizing is accurate." —Genie Isaacs
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in women's sizes 7–11.5 and eight colors).
13. A pet cloud because honestly ... some of us were *not* cut out for plant parenthood 💀 . This lil' bub does require "a lot of love and attention," plus a 30-minute walk and a steady diet of "tears of joy," but one look at that precious face and you'll be able to swing it.
Party People is a UK-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in fun gag gifts and party supplies.
Promising review: "This pet cloud is so full of life and energy! As soon as I opened the box he jumped out and gave me a big hug! Might’ve been high IDK." —Owen
Get it from Party People on Etsy for $6.37 (available with or without a gift bag).
14. An adorable hanging kitten towel for your bathroom or kitchen that are fun for humans *and* their furry friends — reviewers mention that their own cats can't stop staring at them 😹.
Promising review: "Adorable! Got this for my grandpa as a gift since he has recently become a 'cat dad' to two tuxedo cats. He laughed when he saw it, so I know he liked it. Seems well made and should hopefully hold up through use and washing." —JM
Get it from Amazon for $13.42 (available in 17 styles).
15. How to Be More Shrek: An Ogre's Guide to Life, because respectfully, "Live, Laugh, Love" is not gonna cover it anymore, so it's time to call in the big green guns for life advice.
Promising review: "I got this book as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He has slowly started turning green and may have even gained a donkey friend. This book made him more Shrek 💚." —Samantha Martin
Get it from Amazon for $11.69.
16. A bicycle-shaped pizza cutter with *two* blades so you can do a ~wheely~ thorough job dividing up your slices (sorry).
Soho Kitchen is a small NYC-based business established in 2015 that specializes in quirky pizza products.
Promising review: "My husband loooves pizza and I thought this would be a great gift for him. Both wheels can cut the pizza and it’s very easy to use. It’s also really cute! We keep it displayed in the kitchen when not in use." —Bia DeBoer
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
17. A camera lens-shaped thermos that is both aesthetically pleasing *and* delightfully practical — this 12-ounce insulated mug not only will keep coffee hot, but will keep iced drinks and smoothies cold on the go. Why say "cheese" when you can say "caffeine?"
Promising review: "I saw this while browsing, and at first I thought it was a real lens (until I saw the price). I clicked, and had to laugh because it incorporated my husband's two loves — coffee and photography! I got it for him as part of his Christmas gifts, and he loves it. The designer did an excellent job with this. It looks real at first glance, and the raised areas make it very easy to hold. We laughed when he opened it, and it has become one of his favorite mugs." —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
18. A "Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier.
Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie
Get it from Amazon for $22.95.
19. A set of skeleton car coasters so everyone riding shotgun will know you've got the coolest car on the block, no bones about it.
20. A cherry toilet brush because yes, we apparently live in a day and age where a guest can emerge from your bathroom and full bodily say to you, "Oh my god, where did you get that adorable toilet brush??"
Check out a TikTok of the cherry toilet brush in action.
Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly!! Fits nicely into my bathroom decor.

Get it from Amazon for $19.49.
21. A Baby Yoda toothpaste dispenser so your favorite baby alien can spit fluoride onto your brush every morning like the perfect helpful little angel he is.

SnowBloom3D is a North Carolina-based Etsy shop that specializes in 3D-printed home goods.
Promising review: "This is the CUTEST FREAKING THING! It fit my toothpaste tube perfectly with the included adapters. Very well made. My husband and I die laughing when the little mouth spits out the toothpaste. This is my new favorite thing, Thank you!" —cjmc4e
Get a set of two from SnowBloom3D on Etsy for $9.99.
22. A set of bacon strip bandages, because honestly when *hasn't* a crisp strip of bacon eased the little pains of life away? Reviewers love these because not only are they realistic-looking, they actually stay put and function well!
Accoutrements is a small business that specializes in quirky themed bandages.
Promising review: "These are so fun to wear! They are true to description and they look very real. I concocted a story I’d read about using bacon to heal the wound and yet keep the skin moist around the wound. A couple of my friends freaked out and told me to get that bacon off my finger! So besides looking real and holding quite well they are definitely a conversation piece!" —path66002
Get a set of 15 from Amazon for $7.80.
23. A "dog bed for humans" so plush, and cozy that you may just have to change your legal address to "beanbag." Reviewers especially love the softness of the faux fur and the firm coziness of the raised rims that make it a perfect little nest for reading, napping, playing video games, or just otherwise existing in snuggly bliss.
Promising review: "I saw this online and decided that I'm giving it a try. I have a hard time sleeping without feeling support around me. I toss and turn over 40 times per night according to my sleep app. I tried this hoping for the best and I will say, I slept like a baby for the first time in seven years. I put a pillow under each side to prop it up to make it cradle in more and I’m in heaven. I'm 57 and have had a hard time dealing with the emptiness of divorce. Who needs a man when you’ve got this to sleep in? Purchase it! You won’t regret it. And best of all, no one snoring next to me! Win, win!" —Heavenstinyangels
Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in three colors and two sizes).
24. A criminally cute teddy bear water bottle that takes "emotional support water bottle" to a WHOLE other level. Reviewers especially love that it comes with a handy shoulder strap, and that the leakproof lid pops off to let you drink from a straw!
Promising review: "My daughter uses this as her school water bottle. It’s great because it has a strap and she doesn’t have to squeeze it in her backpack! No leaks. Easy to clean but we only put water in it!" —Sarah Witt
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two styles).
25. A pickle wine stopper perfect for anyone who is both a wine-o AND a brine-o, letting you preserve your favorite pinots in ~style~.
26. A cow-themed cheese holder that is, in fact, a Big Moooooooood. Not only is this an adorable and handy way to store your cheese slices, but tons of parents say it's been a real hit with the kiddos!
Each container holds 24 slices of cheese.
Promising review: "I had an old Kraft cheese container from decades ago that finally broke and I didn't think I would be able to find a replacement, but this is even better! My kids named it Daisy immediately. It is cute to have in the fridge or even bring out to the dinner table. Great quality and should last a long time." —Karen
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
27. A Barbie box purse with enough (Kenough??) room for all your important odds and ends when you're spending the day being Gym Barbie, Work Barbie, After Dinner Drinks With Your Friend Who Just Got Broken Up With Barbie, and Emergency Trip To Target Because Oops You're Out Of Yogurt Barbie all in one day.
Promising review: "I originally bought the bag as a kitschy/campy accessory for the Barbenheimer double feature and didn’t have high expectations for how good the quality would be. Let me assure you, I was pleasantly surprised to find out I was wrong. Super durable and sturdy bag. The material can only be described as buttery soft and I received a number of compliments. I appreciate the removable strap and will be using this as my go to bag of the summer!" —M
Preorder it from Cakeworthy for $69.95.
28. A cleverly-designed banana slicer that yes, a lot of reviewers bought as a joke, except it became so handy that the joke was on them — this gives you quick, perfectly portioned banana slices, making it easier to incorporate them in cereal, oatmeal, PB and banana sandwiches, and other Pinterest-worthy breakfasts.
29. A "Liquipen," aka what happens when a pen and a lava lamp have an intriguing and functional baby. This is technically a toy, but a lot of adults swear by it for calm or for helping spur creative ideas when they're in a rut!
Promising review: "I broke up the three pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in stocking for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." —Kindle Customer
Get a set of three from Amazon for $19.99.
30. A "Pasta Monster" spoon and fork set you can use to serve both pasta and salad, and also as inspiration for your new stage name. ("Salad Gremlin" was already taken.)
Promising review: "I love these, they're so cute. I made pasta salad and used these to serve it. My son got a huge kick out of them. They're quite sturdy, easy to wash and a fun addition to our kitchen. I could give these as a gift to my friends and they would love them." —J Band
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
31. A pound of cereal marshmallows because truly I think we're all hard-pressed to think of a scenario that *doesn't* warrant having an emergency bag of these to whip out for the occasion. Pro-tip — refrigerate these babies if you want 'em extra crunchy.
Medley Hills Farm is an Ohio-based, family-owned small business that specializes in unique candies, snacks, and baking supplies.
Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
32. A Nessie bookmark so you'll always have a reading companion when you're swimming in the depths of a new favorite book (or need an emotional support creature when you're reading a harrowing one!!).
You trying to explain the science of why a depressed duck actually brings you joy:
