1. Orly's "Turn It Up" rainbow confetti nail polish for a bold, cheerful mani (or even just a topcoat or accent nail) you'll be showing off to everyone.
I have sung the praises of Orly — my go-to, holy grail nail brand — many times on this website. Their polishes have an awesome grippy, rubberized top that makes it easy to apply and doesn't get crusted shut after one use, and are long-lasting (especially when combined with their epic top and base coats). I have and really like this polish myself! I've only rocked it once so far, by itself. It definitely worked on its own to cover my nails and looked super cute, but only after several pretty thick coats. I think it would be even better as an accent nail with solid polish (like the reviewer on the right did) or over another bright shade (which is how I plan to try it next!). The colors and texture are overall irresistible and I'm excited to get more creative with it!
Promising review: "I bought this because it just looked like fun in a bottle, and I was right. It's beautiful when it's on, and it makes me happy every time I look at my nails. The color went on easily with two coats, and it lasts an extremely long time. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I would definitely purchase this again. It is a must-buy!!!! 😍" —Tricia

2. A truly incredible sea creature cat hat, because I bet you're sitting there thinking your resident floofbucket couldn't get any cuter or more ridiculous. But what if you dressed them as a CRAB? Or an OCTOPUS? Or an AXOLOTL? You gotta at least try it in the name of science.
Please just do yourself a favor and look at the review photos.
Promising review: "My cats are not very excited about this hat, but it's ok because I am very excited on their behalf. I tried it on two different cats, and it fit both of them, even though one cat is really small and the other is a bit overweight. I got really lucky and my surprise cat hat was the axolotl. I love that these are handmade. The packaging is also very cute (it says on the back: 'It's time to cat in style' and I 10,000% agree with that statement). Highest recommendation." —mms

3. A ridiculously cute waffle bath bomb that looks good enough to eat (but like, def don't). For anyone who has ever eaten a perfectly crispy-yet-fluffy waffle and thought, "I would like to dive inside of this," this may be the closest you'll come.
Made with epsom salts and a coconut oil-infused soap "topping," this large bb is about 8 ounces, so you could totally break off just a piece to divvy up the goodness to multiple baths.
Promising review: "Highly recommend. Smells delightful and made my skin soft. Did make me slightly sparkly from the glitter but not overboard." —Mrs.S124
Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six scents).
4. A sweet and sentimental custom tote bag featuring a silhouette of your pupper's instantly recognizable ears and their name, so you can carry a little piece of them with you to LAME places with no dogs allowed.
This Leesburg, Virginia-based boutique specializes in custom gifts for doggos and their parents. After you order, message the seller with your dog's name(s) and pics!
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing!! My baby Lou’s ears have always been an eye catcher and def one of his features that make him…HIM. Seller designed his ears on this bag SPOT ON. I love it so so so much!!!" —Shanessa Ann Alves
Get it from Barkley and Wagz on Etsy for $25+ (available in two sizes and two colors and with or without a zipper).
5. The Unofficial Bridgerton Cookbook, which'll have you eating better than Anthony in Season 2, Episode 7 (sorry, I had to). It features 100 recipes for meals and snacks almost as tasty as the Viscount himself (😉), from finger sandwiches to lemonade to roast duck.
Promising review: "A fun cookbook. I liked the format for each recipe. The introduction to each recipe refers to the show Bridgerton (not the book series). I especially enjoyed the history tidbit as the closing paragraph at the end of every recipe. This was tasty morsel of a history lesson. The recipes themselves are very modern recipes that cover tea, soups, drinks, and main courses. Just enjoy the fancifulness and have fun." —LisaH.
Get it from Amazon for $10.99, Barnes & Noble for $10.99+, or Bookshop (to support local booksellers) for $20.23.
6. Or The Official Wakanda Cookbook, a tome full of over 70 recipes by Malawian American chef Nyanyika Banda inspired by African cuisine and worthy of being savored in Black Panther's kingdom. Vibranium dishware not included.
7. The giant pool flamingo of your dreams, which doesn't actually require a Taylor Swift Fourth of July party-level budget.
Ahhh, remember the good old days of Taylor throwing celeb pool parties? Simpler times. Anywho, my family has one just like this (I do believe it's the exact same one but my mom found it at the grocery store lol). Her name is Janice, and she is huge. Like two-adults-can-easily-fit-on-her, she-is-actually-comfy, you-could-read-a-book-or-take-a-nap-or-have-a-drink-on-her HUGE. The handles are great for getting on her and floating around, and she feels very sturdy and durable. She's lasted several summers, and she's definitely an upgrade from the awesome-but-smaller Janice #1 floaty flamingo we used to have.
Promising review: "I named her Rizzo the pink lady, and I love her. I didn't realize, until my husband pointed out the dimensions post-purchase, that this float if huge! I'm 5'10 and I easily fit on this thing! Two people my size would easily fit. She's perfect for sunbathing. My nephews are obsessed, and she took a beating with all three of them leaping on her, but held up great." —Kara Q

9. Super cute rubber shoes that look like classic lace-up sneakers, but are actually perfect for rainy days! Puddle-proof footwear that won't ruin your outfit? Sign me up.
Promising review: "I have tall Hunter boots, and man they are heavy and super uncomfortable. Plus, it's not practical to wear super tall rain boots if it's just light rain. I got these because they're stylish and seemed super comfy! Real Converse hurt me and pinch my feet. These are actually wider and are super comfy! I wore them on a trip without having to break them in. No pain at all. Plus all the dirt and water just slides off so it's always easy cleaning it up." —Cynthia
Get them from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in 13 styles, including both high- and low-top versions).
10. A punny duo of "Meowbec" and "Dom Purrigon" bottle cat toys with silvervine they'll have so much fun with, they won't remember all their (*extremely Taylor Swift voice*) ~champagne problems~.
♫Dom Purrigon, you brought it...♫
Promising review: "Hilarious and my cats love them! I bought this on pure impulse. I love wine and may also have been drinking wine when I bought this. These are HILARIOUS. They are pretty big as you can see — my tripod cat (on the left) is ~12 pounds — and pretty potent. The cats were circling the box they came in and immediately pounced on them as soon as I got them out of the box! They have a zipper so you can re-fill the bottles with more silvervine/catnip as it loses potency. They are surprisingly high quality. A good impulse purchase!!" —The Philosophical Swimmer

11. An as-seen-on-Shark Tank car dipping sauce holder that'll clip to your vents and make your drive-thru meal an even more wonderful experience. You'll pity your fellow fast food patrons who are still spilling BBQ all over their seats or balancing ranch precariously on their center console.
It's designed to be able to hold different sizes of sauce containers depending on whether you position them horizontally or vertically, and it even comes with a removable tray you can squeeze sauce packets into.

14. A *terrifying* (if you're a gnome) ferocious kitty statue that'll never fail to bring a smile to your face gnome-atter how grumpy you're feeling.
Promising review: "Bought this for my mother for Mother's Day; she loves cats and hates lawn gnomes, so it was a perfect gift for her! It arrived as scheduled in great condition. I was pleased to see the quality of the product far exceeded my expectations. My mom loved the gift and got a good laugh out of it! Definitely worth the money." —April
Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (there's also a dog version here).
15. A genius microwave- and dishwasher-safe bowl complete with a handle, lid, and removable phone stand (!!!!) to enable peak laziness as you indulge in some ramen, pasta, soup, or cereal with the greatest side dish of all — Netflix.
Promising reviews: "Haven't had it long, but so far it has survived a toddler, a kindergartner with a grudge, and an angsty pre-teen in addition to allowing me to enjoy my lunch while watching an obscene amount of YouTube. Not only do I like it, but I'll probably be buying another in a different color after it is inevitably stolen by the previously mentioned pre-teen." —dabston
"It's very light, with a huge capacity for soups, salads, mac 'n' cheese, spaghetti, stews, etc. If I didn't have any dishes, this actually would be the only thing I need other than a plate. Love the lid, as you can put it in the microwave, and the top does not blow off. It WILL stain with tomato based sauces. Who cares, as long as I've got my bowl I'm happy! Great for camping as it is virtually weightless. :) It's pretty much indestructible." —Sheryl L. Ketchum
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors).

20. An impressive peanut butter knife made to get EVERY LAST DROP of goodness out of the jar, without getting your hands all sticky. It'll save you money, mess, and meal-prep time.
Promising review: "It will save your life! Give you wings! Make you taller! More handsome! It will reverse male-pattern baldness!! It will teach your dog to behave! Has been known to bring feuding families back to an amicable place of respect and love! Your glass will always be half full! You will suddenly find yourself only grabbing on-sale items grocery shopping (by accident even!). Just having one PB-Jife in the household has been noted as a confirmed good luck charm and beacon for positivity and fortune to befall you!* Two days on Amazon Prime later, and here I am full of life, typing this with my CLEAN HANDS AND KNUCKLES! After just scraping the bottom of a big ol'peanut butter jar out in two seconds effortlessly. It might look big and awkward (it's a monster of a one-use tool), but seriously if you have an intense dislike for getting PB on your fingertips dealing with jars — this is the solution you've been looking for. Long live PB-Jife.
*Will not do anything in that first paragraph. I'm sorry." —CW

21. Whimsical bird-shaped glasses that truly put the "tail" in "cocktail" and can't be ~beak~ for your next happy hour.
Promising review: "Quirky and fun. How can you NOT like drinking from a bird butt?! Ok, they’re silly and I found them at a restaurant in Cancun then ordered on Amazon. But they’re adorable. They don’t hold a lot — think martini or shot. Mine came with cleaning brushes which was a nice touch. They’re kinda impossible to clean otherwise. Glass quality is good. No scratches. Well packed too." —Tim O.
22. A brilliant edge brownie pan so every piece is like a corner piece, for sweet-toothed folks who prefer to live life on the ~edge~. Name one thing more irresistible than a crispy-edged brownie straight out of the oven, I'll wait.
You can also use it for savory dishes that are even better crispy, like mac 'n' cheese, lasagna, or casseroles. Plus, it comes with a spatula and some brownie recipes!
Promising review: "There isn’t anything I don’t like about this pan. I was concerned that it’d be hard to clean with all the corners, but it isn’t at all. Bakes evenly. This purchase made my happy home happier!" —Borelified

I am a stationary FREAK, and love using all kinds of pens and pencils and these take the CAKE! I've spent $20+ on ONE PEN before. Assuming these pens were cheap, I tried one to make sure it actually wrote and low and behold, magic flowed from my fingertips. All this to say, these are perfect pens. Not just for young ones. I proudly use my kitty pens any and everywhere!" —dinosaur

27. Nostalgia-tastic coasters inspired by retro Nintendo cartridges because keeping your coffee table looking nice for your game night guests is the ~name of the game~.
Promising review: "I have had these for a while now and felt like a review was in order. I've been using these throughout my house and because I am an avid retro gamer, these fit right in. I've been surprised how resistant they are to beverages leaving moisture, or if I need to rinse them off from a drop/spill. They don't seem to wear down or fade at all. I had to get used to tilting my drink a little before lifting though so they don't stay sealed to the bottom (from any moisture) and come with it, but a worthwhile tradeoff for them. Everyone loves seeing and using them." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Really happy with these little cuties, which arrived well-packed in a box. They appear to be well-made, quite light, with a lovely glossy finish. There is also a hook on the base for easy hanging. As they are quite hard to measure, I traced one and came up with a little over 3 inches for the head and body and about 3 3/4 inches for the legs. I'm really glad I bought them." —Debbie from NZ

31. A LOLworthy screaming goat figure, because don't you just want to meet (and befriend) whoever was like, "What about a little plastic goat that shrieks when you press him? I think we could all use that." They were correct.
He also comes with a little book of equally delightful goat facts.
Promising review: "This is one of those things you don't know you need in your life until you see it. Yes, it may have been a late night, altered state kind of purchase that surprised me a bit when it showed up, but it's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. For just a few dollars, you too can receive an informational mini-book full of goat facts to awe and impress your friends as well as a miniature screaming goat. If you're a fan of the screaming goat videos on YouTube, this will be right up your alley. It sounds best when set on a hard surface like a table or desk, so the sound can echo. It's just loud enough for coworkers to ask 'did y'all just hear a screaming goat?' Yes. Yes you did, Phil. If you've read this far, it's been decided: you need this. This will be there for you longer than that dumb T-shirt you're considering. This screaming goat will complete you. Better get one for your best friend too, while you're at it." —echobunny

This one is full of NSFW names and descriptions for different species that'll have you LOL-ing even if you never actually go looking for said birds IRL.
Promising review: "This book was not only hilarious, but also brought back some wonderful memories of summers birdwatching in my front yard with my dad, and all the bird books I borrowed from the library to help identify them. I kinda wish I'd had this book on hand though, because the personality descriptions of some of these birds is spot-on and would have had me rolling! If you're starting a birdwatching journey just for fun, or even just want a quick laugh in between the (not so serious) birdwatching, this is the book for you! It's jam-packed full of snarky facts, and even includes a mini history lesson! I'll have my eyes out for more from this author!" —Jms1662

35. A beginner-friendly mini Pusheen cross-stitch kit for anyone who's ~thread~y to DIY some kitty cuteness this weekend.
Promising review: "If you like cross-stitch, love Pusheen, or just want a super fun and easy project, buy this kit! I loved it so much that I did all three projects over the course of three days. The kit comes with helpful instructions, a hoop, three pieces of cross stitch fabric, two needles, and plenty of thread to make these patterns and have lots of left over. The patterns turned out so cute that I may buy some extra fabric and make more as gifts for my friends. I'm a big Pusheen fan, so I knew I needed this kit as soon as I saw it and I didn't regret my purchase! My only complaint is that the center of the pattern isn't marked, so I had to take an extra step of counting the stitches really carefully to make sure I centered the project. But that is a really minor issue." —Rue23
