1. An adorable octopus-shaped blackhead remover here to be your new main squeeze. All you have to do is simply massage it onto your damp skin in a circular motion, and it'll gently but effectively pull out whiteheads, blackheads, and other pore-clogging ickies all on its own.
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, and it 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

2. A TikTok-famous 1,000-piece Mystic Maze puzzle known for being the most-backed puzzle in the history of Kickstarter. This whimsically-illustrated, colorful, and magical puzzle takes you on a journey through a rich and unique world, full of surprises, incredible detail, optical illusions, 50+ Easter eggs, and a mind-blowing twist ending designed by magicians.
Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my husband because he absolutely loves puzzles and magic, so it was a no-brainer! I was honestly way more excited to finish putting this puzzle together than a normal puzzle because I couldn’t wait to see the end result. Blown away. I’m super impressed and will be purchasing a different version. Oh, and they weren’t kidding about the no dust in the box...very pleased with this purchase!" —Nlbrimberry
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

Promising review: "I think this might be one of the best things I've ever bought on Amazon. I bought one sheet for my mom for Christmas, and they just came. She hasn't seen them, but I know they'll crack her up. They look fantastic. I'll definitely buy more!!" —Claudia
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
4. A decorative cat towel that just wants to look cute while ~hangin' out~ in your kitchen or bathroom. My advice to you: add a pair of these to your cart right MEOW!
Promising review: "I did not buy this to actually use as a towel. To me it doesn’t seem like it would be good at serving this purpose as the material is not very absorbent, however it is great for decoration purposes. It is really, really adorable! I love how there’s little snap buttons to keep it in place. I highly recommend this as a decorative gift for the cat lover in your life or for yourself if you love kitties! Great purchase!" —Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 20 designs).
5. An ugly Renaissance cats calendar — prepare to be ~purrrty~ shocked and delighted by what each month has to offer, thanks to the brilliant and twisted minds of 16th-century artists.
Decor Hardcore is a small business based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Promising review: "My brother, sister, and I decided to buy fun esoteric calendars for each other for Hanukkah. My sister is a huge cat lover and this made her day. 100 out of 10 would buy again!" —Gwendy7769
Get it from Decor Hardcore on Etsy for $33.52 (available in two sizes; there's also an ugly Renaissance dog paintings version).
6. A clever mug that looks an entire pot of coffee for anyone who can't get through the day without their favorite beverage.
Some reviewers even use this to store and display beans!
Promising review: "I bought this mug for my dad who just started at an office job. He absolutely loves it! He enjoys making dad jokes about drinking a whole pot of coffee in the morning. The silicone lid is great to keep it warm and makes it easy to drink out of. It's made of thin glass, so its not as sturdy as a mug and it gets hotter, but it's great quality and made well." —tess
Get it from Amazon for $24.97.
7. A smudge-proof eyeliner stamp if you love a winged-eye look but hate how long it takes you to apply it yourself. This stamp makes it quick and easy so you can speed up your routine and get perfect results every time!
This tool is double-sided, so you can choose the thickness of your wing, and comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye!
The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty.
Promising review: "You need this stamp! I have never in my life been able to draw a wing properly. Ever. I kept seeing this advertised everywhere and thought, what the heck. Super easy to use, you don't need a lot of practice. I love that it's highly pigmented as well. I originally wanted the medium (classic) size but it's on backorder. I opted for the 8-mm mini size instead, and I'm glad I did. I think the size is appropriate for the shape and size of my eye. All in all, great purchase!!!" —SaraPo
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).
8. A super cute book-shaped flower vase for all the bookworms out there who wanna give their flowers a more ~literary~ home.
9. A pair of prism spectacles ingeniously designed to help you comfortably recline without struggling to watch TV, read, or use your devices.
Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd
Get them from Amazon for $13.88.
10. A silicone crab utensil holder — it just wants to help out when you need an extra hand (or claw) in the kitchen to hold onto your spoon.
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, just cool as all! Hangs on all of our pots and pans, stays cool. Easy to clean and looks awesome. Great addition to any kitchen. Works great, does exactly what it is intended to do!" —Logan E.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors).
11. And a Dracula-inspired garlic chopper named ~Gracula~ that — unlike the real Dracula — isn't afraid of garlic. Now you can make your meals as garlicky as you want without your fingers reeking all day long.
They can also use it to chop nuts, fruits, and veggies!
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her, which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L
Get it from Amazon for $25.95.
12. A suction cup drink holder to keep your fave beverage within reach, whether you're taking a quick shower or chilling in the tub.
Promising review: "Such a simple idea, how is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect, I've tugged on it and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wineglasses too. A truly perfect product. This $13 piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors).
13. A dino nugget pillow so you can get cozy and dream about your favorite snack.
Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true! It's the perfect cuddle companion for all the paleontologists-in-training or anyone with an insatiable appetite for comfort. Just be careful not to accidentally take a bite while you're napping, because it looks deliciously deceiving!" —LadyTee
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in multiple styles, two sizes, and in multipacks).
14. Or a microwaveable, lavender-scented weighted plushie for when you need something cute, soft, and warm to help you drift off to sleep. Snuggling with this thing is basically a form of self-care all on its own.
Promising reviews: "This product changed my life. Seriously, I never knew I could love an inanimate object so much. His heavy body is so comforting, at the end of the day all I want is a hug. He even helped me quit nicotine. Instead of reaching for the Juul, I would reach for his big belly instead. I'm not even joking. This guy is the best thing I have ever spent my money on. Do yourself a favor and get a Warmie." —Bryan & Dana
"I bought this for cramps and the occasional aches and pains. He is absolutely perfect. He is so cute and adorable and I find myself reaching for him even when I am not in pain. He’s so snuggly and perfect to cuddle up with and is great for anxiety." —Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $28.34.
15. A pair of BPA-free, reusable glowing chopsticks so you can pretend you're dining in a galaxy far, far away...
Promising review: "I bought these for my dad for Christmas and let me tell you, this was the best gift I think I’ve ever given him. These are so fun and definitely easy to use/clean. Would 100% recommend these." —Alyssa Cannon
Get the pack of two pairs from Amazon for $13.97 (available in two styles).
16. A set of nostalgic NES cartridge coasters for the gamers out there who would love to rest their drink on their fave retro games.
Promising review: "Everyone talks about them and wants them! This has been an amazing gift! Something simple and not expensive to just surprise someone else. The size seems perfect for all kind of drinks and so far they don’t seem to be getting ruined by the water so they are perfect! I've recommended them for friends as they keep asking where I got them." —Isaira
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $9.99.
17. A dimmable sad duck nightlight that'll have you saying "SAAAAAME" at the end of long work days. You'll love having someone cute to commiserate with, and the yellowish glow will help brighten your evenings now that the days are tragically getting shorter.
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 $19.99 (available also as a dog or pear).
18. Or a plug-in color-shifting mushroom light if you could use more of a colorful ~fun-guy~ energy to brighten up your home.
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 that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. It's 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 $5.99.
19. A nutrient-rich, banana-scented overnight mask that's worth it for the cute packaging alone. It does a great job hydrating dry skin, and reviewers say it smells like Laffy Taffy!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart loves this stuff: "First thing is first, I *so* wish you could scratch and sniff the photo above. I just started using this and TBH, I absolutely ordered it because it was cute. That said, I was already a big fan of Tonymoly products so I figured why not. Not only is it exceptionally fun looking, but it smells incredible and works really well on my dry skin. While it's definitely thick, it also doesn't leave me greasy which other products have. Basically, if your friend likes banana-scented things and could use some extra hydration, it's a great gift!"
Get it from Amazon for $16.50.
20. A Cat Dancer toy no one expects their cats to love as much as they inexplicably do. Honestly, I could spend all day LOLing at the review photos.
And in case you're wondering what this thing is made of that drives cats so wild... it's literally a springy steel wire and rolled up cardboard — that's it. But it has over 29,000 five star ratings, *and* it's under $4, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Promising review: "This little toy is a miracle! Was skeptical at first since it’s such a simple design but my cat (who usually only plays for a couple of minutes) was obsessed with this toy from the moment I opened the package. Even more, he won’t let it out of his sight and brings it to me so he can play some more. Will be buying a lot more of these in the future!" —Amcooper2006
Get it from Amazon for $3.99.
21. A "Yes Chef" hat for fans of The Bear who would do anything to be stuck in a freezer with Jeremy Allen White.
Where'd U Get That Hat is a small business based in Washington, DC that sells embroidered hats. This cap is sure to get any wanna-be chef fired up in the kitchen.
Promising review: "High-quality hat exactly as pictured! Comfortable and adjustable. Perfect for loafing on the couch and watching The Bear." —Zoe Fisher
Get it from Where'd U Get That Hat on Etsy for $25.60 (originally $32; available in 14 hat colors and 11 thread colors).
23. An adorable egg poacher to bring some breezy poolside vibes to your morning meal.
See how it works in this TikTok from @ototo_design.
Promising reviews: "Works just as I expected. I like it! When it starts to sink, keep an eye out for that. It means it's ready. Mine always come out good." —Eric
"A fantastic little thingy! The main trick is to use BUTTER, not oil, otherwise the egg sticks to the bottom. Eggs Benny, here I come!" —Andrey M.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A blackhead-removing toy that comes with tweezers so you can feel the satisfaction of plucking out each tiny hair when you're feeling stressed instead of picking at your own!
Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 styles).
25. A 10-pack of season 22 Hot Ones sauces in case you wanna try to keep up with your favorite celeb. It's a great collection for any hot sauce fans who love a solid combination of heat and flavor!

Promising review: "When I got my pack I ordered 10 plain wings and tried each one in order. The first few didn’t really have spice, but did bring good flavor. The fun started about halfway through when the heat kicked in. My favorites are the Djablo, Los Calientes, Dawsons, and The Last Dab. Great spice and great flavor! I’ve started adding The Last Dab to soup and it’s a brilliant touch. It’s great that there’s something for all tolerance levels." —Veronica L.
Get it from Heatonist for $120 ($136 value).
26. A fun Fujifilm Instax Mini 7+ camera — it instantly prints out your pictures so you can have physical copies of your favorite memories to hang on the fridge, frame on your desk, or give to a friend or loved one! Plus, it comes with a 10-pack of Instax film so you can get snappin' right away!
Promising review: “Ahhh it's so cute! Especially the color! The camera is a bit bigger than I expected but still a convenient size. I'm a bit late to the trend but I love it. I've been taking so many pictures. Very easy to use, I'd recommend it to anyone.” —Johanna
Get it from Walmart for $67 (available in five colors).
27. A variety pack of Reese's candies that comes with crowdpleasers like Reese's Pieces and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as well as deeper cuts like Reese's Sticks and Reese's White Peanut Butter Cups for anyone whose sweet tooth knows no bounds.
Promising review: "I ordered this variety pack for my husband as a Christmas gift. He loves Reese’s so this is the perfect gift. I was pleasantly surprised to see the how carefully this product was packaged. It arrived in a box that had insulation AND a reusable ice pack! The ice pack was still partially frozen so I have no doubt the product never melted. This was a huge concern as I live in South Florida and it is hot. I highly recommend this product and will definitely order again in the future." —Mstank
Get it from Amazon for $35.49.
28. Or a pound of cereal marshmallows for anyone who's passionate about the best part of Lucky Charms and wants the freedom to add marshmallows to any cereal or snack they want. Some reviewers say these are even *more* magically delicious!
The delish treats come from Medley Hills Farm — a family-owned and operated small business based in Ohio.
Promising review: "Amazing! I put them in hot chocolate, Rice Krispies treats, other cereals, or just eat then by the handful. Impulse buy that totally worked out." —Maddison Helsel
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
29. *And* a pack of four silicone straws that look like licorice in case you wanna trick your guests into thinking you're sipping your drink through CANDY.
Promising review: "Now that reusable straws are becoming more and more popular, especially where we live in California, I figured it would be great to have a little fun. These are great for kids as well as adults, and they work really well! I will certainly be ordering them again." —Joshua Epstein
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
30. A deck of cat tarot cards featuring stunning watercolor portraits and a delightful sense of humor (or cat-itude, if you will). Consult the included guidebook for deeper insights into the wisdom of the cat.
Promising review: "These cards are great! As someone who owns more than a couple of tarot decks, the card stock on these is superb for the price. This deck is friendly and has a very aesthetically pleasing color palette — even some of the darker cards of the deck are rather lighthearted. The images themselves are fantastic, cute, colorful without overdoing it, and not too gimmicky. If you like tarot and you also happen to like cats, get this deck!" —A. Asher
Get it from Amazon for $17.89.
31. And finally, a "dog bed for humans" in case you've ever looked at where your pup snoozes and thought to yourself, "I should probably get one of those for me." Reviewers say it's a surprisingly cozy and comfy place to nap, read, watch movies, and more!
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 $149.99 (clip the $50 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in three colors and two sizes).
