1. A bottle of Haeyo Mayo, a blend of shea butter, macadamia seed oil, and egg yolk extract, so yes, basically just mayonnaise for your hair, but don't let that scare you away!! It's designed to help restore your hair's moisture to reduce frizz and smooth split ends. Just be sure to keep this farrrrr away from your kitchen and unsuspecting sandwich makers.
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

3. A flexible flower vase you can bend into any position to set the mood and make it fit your space. You can even make it dangle from a wire frame. It's basically like the year-long version of Elf on the Shelf — take turns hiding it every morning and seeing how long it takes everyone else to find this lil' guy.
Promising review: "An affable, squishy, bendy, happy little vase! The consensus on my social media page is that everyone should have one of these. I finally got a chance to try it out with some daffodils, and really, it's hard not to smile when you see them." —Susy Lundy
Get it from Amazon for $20.90 (available in three colors).
4. A toilet stool and putting practice set so you can use the ~extensive~ time you spend in the bathroom practicing golf instead of just endlessly scrolling through your phone.

6. An insulated penguin water bottle because your emotional support bottle deserves to be the cutest freaking thing on the whole planet.
Promising review: "This is my new favorite travel companion! This adorable tumbler doesn't just win in looks; it keeps my beverages at the perfect temperature for hours. Whether it's tea, water, or coffee, it stays hot or cold, just the way I like it. The stainless steel build gives it a sturdy feel, and the penguin design adds a cute touch that always brings a smile to my face. A delightful and practical choice for anyone who wants their drinks to stay cozy on the go!" —Sabina Cioci
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors).
7. A set of space-saving nesting snail measuring cups with secret measuring spoons inside their little heads. These guys are all you'll need when you're whipping up your famous chocolate chip cookies.
Promising review: "These are adorable but they also nest perfectly, so really are practical. They are exactly the measurements they say they are and I am super happy with them. They make me smile every time I see them." —Love To Cook
Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in a cherry version).
8. A pickle wine stopper so you can combine two of your fave things without *actually* combining them. I'm no sommelier, but I have to imagine pickle-flavored wine would not be appealing.
9. A UFO-shaped cat litter box your fur babies are sure to love ~to infinity and beyond.~ It has a low entrance so you don't have to worry about your little kitties being able to reach it, and the dome protects you from the stench they produce, while still being clear so they don't feel trapped inside.
Happy and Polly is a small business that specializes in delightfully quirky, highly functional products for pets.
Promising review: "I have four kitties who can be very picky when it comes to litter boxes. I hesitated ordering because of the cost but wow I wish I had bought this sooner! I was absolutely shocked how amazing the quality is (on top of how amazingly cute). I was worried if my kitties would like it having not used a completely enclosed litter box before. But all four LOVE it and literally fight each other to play in it. Worth every cent!!" —HR
Get it from Happy and Polly for $179.99.
10. A PopSockets fidget toy designed with two magnetic pucks you can flick, stack, and flip to perform super cool tricks. Maybe you can even create your own signature move to show off to all your friends.
Promising review: "This is literally the best fidget ever made. The magnets are not only fun to play with, but the sound they make is satisfying. If you flip the puck over, if provides a nice little resistance against your hand when fidgeting with it. The silicone (I guess?) on the outside is also good for tactile-type fidgeting. I wish they were a bit cheaper, but the price didn't deter me from buying two of them, plus a couple of booster packs." —Tiger
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
11. A mini ceramic bathtub with so many uses — soap holder, planter, catchall. It even has a drainage hole so your soap doesn't take an unintended bath in all the residual water from washing your hands, because slimy soap is nasty soap.
Check out a TikTok of the mini ceramic bathtub in action.
Promising review: "I ordered two of these. One I used as a regular soap dish in my tub. It has holes for drainage which is a plus. I also used it as a cute plant decanter. I placed some succulents in it and voila...the cutest planter for my bathroom." —Diane Sheehan
Get it from Amazon for $8.38+ (available in six colors).

Urban Cheesecraft is an Oregon-based Etsy shop established in 2009 that specializes in make-your-own cheese kits in a variety of cheeses, including vegan options. Each kit comes with a cheesecloth, citric acid, flake salt, and a quick recipe card — all you need is milk! This kit makes ricotta, but check out other types of cheese here.
Promising review: "These kits are great gifts for the cheese lover and the person 'who's already got it all.' The packaging looks nice and gift-worthy and it's a perfect price range. I love that the recipient gets an experience as well as a tangible product and I can personally attest that the actual process is easy." —amyleannbohner
Get it from Urban Cheesecraft on Etsy for $12.50.
13. Squeakee The Balloon Dino, who can roar, chomp, dance when you put his headphones on, nuzzle, play tug of war and other games, and has over 70 sounds and reactions. This lil' guy is your newest BFF. Beware: he also farts when you pull his tail. 🤭
BuzzFeed contributing writer Kit Stone says: "Last year, I got the super-popular Squeakee balloon dog. It was a HUGE hit with my nephews. I'm even more excited for this new Squeakee because every kid wishes they could have a pet dinosaur, and now they can!"
Promising review: "My daughter screamed so loud when she opened this on her birthday that I thought my ears world bleed! This toy is so much fun my 8-year-old loves it and I love it too! He sits when I tell him to sit, he listens better than my kids! Great toy, entertaining, and so worth it. I got to be, 'the best mom ever' and it felt great!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $41.72.
14. A silly chair pillow that'll transform your uncomfy seat into something you'd actually want to spend your day sitting on. Plus this dude can be your new work partner and keep you comfy while you type away for eight hours.
Promising review: "This product is a little smaller than maybe what I was expecting. But, regardless, it is still very comfortable. I spend a lot of my time sitting on the computer but don’t have a legitimate desk chair, and this has definitely been a breath of fresh air for my rather unforgiving wooden kitchen chairs. Plus, I was looking for something cute and fun to bring some more color to my apartment, and this adorable duck definitely accomplishes that. I think it would be extra perfect for kids, too!" —Claire Rorick
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
15. Some balloon dog stud earrings so adorable and quirky, I can pretty much guarantee you won't know anyone who has a matching pair (until they see them on you and need a pair for themselves, duh).
You can also get a matching necklace here!
Promising review: "Y’allllll!!! These are the flipping cutest!!! And they came in such nice packaging as well! Not just a cheap plastic bag, but a little sealed box. Very worth the purchase. 😍" —Laura Zimmerman
Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
16. A set of cat and mouse hooks designed with stick-on adhesive to turn mundane tasks (like putting away your keys) into the cutest thing ever. Once you hang something, your fave lil' buddy will pop out to say hello!
Check them out on TikTok of the cat and mouse hooks in action.
Promising review: "These are so cute and easy to install. My husband always forgets to put his keys away so I got these to try to condition him into hanging them up. Now he has a little friend say hello when he gets home." —leaaffy
Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick).
17. Or a set of magnetized balloon wall hooks you can use to hang your keys, jewelry, glasses, oven mitts, or whatever else needs a special home so you can stop losing them every day. You're gonna be ~bursting~ with joy every time you see these cuties.
You can stick them on the wall using the three included adhesive pads, hang them on a screw or nail (not included), or simply put the magnetic back of them on your fridge.
Promising review: "I use these hooks on my fridge to hang oven mitts and other utensils. Love the design of these. The magnet is quite strong and haven't had any issues with them sliding down or falling off. Obviously there are cheaper alternative hooks, but what you're mainly paying for is the balloon design and the 'fun' factor of it. I'm a fan!" —darwin4lunch
Get a set of three from Amazon for $14.99.
18. A pair of lightsaber chopsticks because no matter how much everyone tells you to, you ~still~ haven't grown out of playing with your food, and now you actually have an excuse.
Promising review: "Ok. I have wanted these for YEARS AND YEARS and finally bought them. WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG?!?!?! I don't eat plain sushi anymore. I eat sushi like a jedi would. Easy to clean and will bring you nerd joy every time you use them." —Hoosieronthemove
Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.98 (available in two versions).
19. An (actually functional!) Dali-inspired melting clock to turn a normal, boring clock into a super cool work of art.
Get the required AA batteries here.
Promising review: "This is an awesome clock for anyone who loves Dali and surrealist art. It is a great value for the money considering it is super cool and seems to be good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble which is very cool. The metallic part is also plastic which is fine. It ticks a bit loudly, but I personally like that, I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." —Zach
Get it from Amazon for $11.30.
20. A set of Goldfish fridge magnets that'll certainly make you smile back when you see these cuties all over your fridge holding up your precious photos and wedding invites.
Handy Cute Art is a Florida-based Etsy shop that specializes in quirky home products.
Heads up: these might not be the best choice if you have little kids or pets who could mistake them for food.
Promising review: "These are the cutest ever! My daughter ate these guys [a lot] growing up. Great reminder gift of her fave snack food!" —Teresa A Houtz
Get a set of six from Handy Cute Art on Etsy for $10.20 (originally $12).
21. A screaming goat because there's no way anyone could receive this and not immediately have a smile on their face. Is it vaguely dumb? Yes. But is it very entertaining? Absolutely.
22. A set of snail tea bag holders that aren't just freakin' adorable but also incredibly useful at preventing your tea bag from falling into your drink, disappearing, and forcing you to rummage around your *hot* tea.
Check out a TikTok of the snail teabag holder in action.
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 $6.99.
23. Or a baby Nessie infuser to take your tea-drinking experience to a whole new level. This little guy is ~dino-mite.~
Check out a TikTok of the tea infuser in action.
Just insert your loose-leaf tea into the body and twist the top on then brew your tea like normal! And it's dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "I'll start by saying that this is so stinking cute! I love it and I mostly bought it for that reason. No shame in admitting that. However, that being said, it works well too! It does not feel cheap and seems to have been made pretty well. It was a great purchase in my book." —Jesica
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
24. A ridiculous yodelling pickle if you wanna have the perfect ammo to irritate anyone and everyone in your life.
25. A unicorn cat tower to give your furbabies a ~dreamy~ play spot with three scratching posts, a fun hanging ball, and a cozy kitty condo. Plus this is infinitely cooler than regular, boring cat scratching posts.
Promising reviews: "Absolutely love this adorable unicorn. The cats love to scratch the legs and cuddle up inside for a good nap. Highly recommend!" —Holly
"So fun. This unicorn is so cute. My cat loves it, but my only issue is the opening at the top of the body is jagged, so I had to put some tape so my cat wouldn't get scratched." —Susan
Get it from Chewy for $55 (originally $59).
26. A set of giant fruit-shaped sponges because why use a regular one when you can add a pop of color and whimsy to your kitchen? Their large size and easy lather make cleaning your dishes a breeze.
Promising review: "I wanted nice sponges that could be used in a guest suite. Most people stay a week at the most, so I was not as concerned about durability as visual appeal. These sponges fit the bill perfectly. They are relatively sturdy, enough so that I typically use the sponge, after my guest leaves, to clean up the suite, and it holds up to that and then some. They are unique and cute, so they kick up the suite experience a notch. They are individually wrapped, so my guest knows that they are not getting a sponge someone else has used. And they don't have a rough scrubbing side, so I don't worry that my pans/pots will get scratched up." —Mad Hen
Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99.
27. A pack of Crayola Globbles so you can finally throw something at the wall because that's its purpose, not because you are full of rage. Or for anyone who is ~calmer,~ these are also super fun to stretch and squeeze. Plus, they won't leave behind any nasty residue to deal with.
Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My daughter is 4 and plays with these DAILY! YES, they do attract dirt and hair HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off that it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Heather Hambrick
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.69 (also available in a 16-pack).
28. A hilarious game of BeanBoozled, which will put your taste buds to the test and you can risk it all — will it be chocolate pudding or canned dog food?
The mash-ups include: stinky socks vs. tutti-fruitti, lawn clippings vs. lime, rotten egg vs. buttered popcorn, toothpaste vs. berry blue, barf vs. peach, canned dog food vs. chocolate pudding, booger vs. juicy pear, moldy cheese vs. caramel corn, baby wipes vs. coconut, and skunk spray vs. licorice.
Promising review: "My daughters love these. Period. Although I think it's quite gross to eat a jelly bean not knowing you're going to get one that tastes like a normal piece of candy or a stinky sock, a rotten egg, and grass. They were absolutely tickled. They sorted the jelly beans by color and then took turns deciding who was going to eat what pair combination hoping to get one of each. I think the other part of the game was seeing who could say 'ewww' the loudest when they bit into the 'wrong' one! They continue to ask for them, so I'll continue to buy them, but I won't be eating them. Fun for the girls and their friends. And it really kept them entertained for a good 30 minutes." —MS MONIQUE
Get it from Amazon for $4.58+ (available in a variety of sizes).
29. Or a jar of "Ass Kickin'" sweet and spicy jelly beans to test your ability to handle heat. Maybe even make a game of it and see who can eat the most at once?! Just be sure to have a glass of milk nearby.
Ass Kickin' is a small business that specializes in spicy candy, popcorn, and sauces.
Promising review: "If you like spicy and sweet you will most definitely like these jelly beans. It didn't take me long to devour the whole jar and will say that I enjoyed every spicy hot bean. I wouldn't say it's like over the top hot but it's a comfortable hot that keeps me eating one after the other." —Bill Reiner
Get them from Amazon for $9.95.
30. An LOL-worthy fruit-shaped cat cap that'll turn your kitty into the cutest apple (or banana, or strawberry, etc!) you ever did see, even if all they want from the moment it touches their head is to get it off.
Promising review: "I would give these 10 stars if I could, but I'm sure Freya would give it a -3. I think she looks like an angelic banana, but she is not amused. I don't believe this causes her physical discomfort, but her self-esteem has plummeted. Long story short, makes your cat look stupid, as planned. LOL." —Amazon Customer
Get one in a random fruit from Amazon for $7.99.
31. A set of bacon strip bandages for breakfast meat lovers who simply cannot get enough of the deliciousness. You've definitely used bacon to ease your pain before, this just takes that a liiiittle more literally. Reviewers also love that they actually stay put in addition to being super realistic-looking.
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 $6.41.
