3. Bestselling Globbles fidget toys that stretch, squish, and stick to the wall (!!!) without leaving messy residue. They're a win for parents worried about mess, yes, but they also might just be the fidget toy your grown-up self has been dreaming of, too. You may need a set for every room in the house.
Check them out on TikTok.
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 $8.45.
4. A dimmable duck light who is quite simply a very big mood. He is made of squishy silicone, seems 100% DONE with doing anything, has a 30-minute auto-shutoff timer feature and three brightness settings, and, yes, also features a drawn-on butthole. It's the little things.
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED...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 (also available in four other very cute designs).
5. If you're running out of shelf space but cannot resist the urge to treat yourself to more knickknacks (I feel you), a set of four teeny-tiny Bitty Pop! figures featuring Rapunzel, Moana, Merida, and a surprise fourth, rare princess figure! Once you start collecting these, who knows how far you'll go.....
6. Super sweet and tiny macaron boxes ideal for storing mini treasures like change or dainty baubles. If, like me, you're a sucker for cute faux food, these belong on your dresser ASAP.
Promising review: "Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts as I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off. I imagine these would also be great for pretend food for kids' playsets or for a kid's trinket box. Overall I love them, love their feel, love the colors and am very happy." —Mary
Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.99.
7. A delightfully quirky set of bird sponges complete with a suction! cup! perch! so they can hang out on the side of your sink when not in use. Perchfection.
Promising review: "Adorable and functional. Yes, these absolutely are as cute as you hope they're going to be. These four little birds and their perch come packaged in a slim cardboard box. The sponges themselves are surprisingly thick and sturdy — very well made for a novelty item. They have a typical spongey part in the middle and a scrubby part on the outside. All of them fit perfectly on the plastic perch, which has a great little suction cup to attach to your sink. These would make a great gift as well as a fun addition to your own kitchen!" —CMD
Get a set of four and a perch from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in four other quirky designs).
8. An adorable, huge mood of a sticker I think you and I both need at least 10 of. If you're also easily distracted by bright, fun colors, you might need 20.
This Sutton, Massachusetts–based small biz makes some of the cutest and most colorful stationery you ever did see, plus lots of tees, stickers, and other flair for book lovers!
Promising review: "This sticker perfectly describes me. The saying, quality, and colors are all fantastic!" —ladymbooklover
Get it from Emily Cromwell Designs for $4.15.
9. And an absolutely brilliant mini masterpiece that's both a bookmark and a reading log. The adorable illustration features 50 blank book spines for you to color in and write in titles as you make your way through your reading list, and then you can save it as a permanent record of your bookworm tendencies.
This UK-based small business makes truly gorgeous art for book lovers!
Promising review: "I’ve been trying to get back into reading, and the urge to fill this bookmark is really making me want to read! It’s so cute, and I love how much space there is to fill." —Kaitlyn Wells
Get it from British Book Art on Etsy for $3.17, or get a double-sided version with room for 100 books for $3.69.
10. OR!!! An absolutely hilarious whoopee cushion bookmark to make getting through your TBR list even more of a ~blast~ (though you may find yourself pausing your reading sessions more often just so you can mark the page, close the cover, and hear a toot).
Promising review: "Most of my bookmarks are old receipts or strips of scrap paper. String. Kleenex. Once, in a bind, I used a strand of hair. How many bookmarks can make a room erupt into laughter? Just this one. Listen…friends don’t let friends dogear. So share the joy of a whoopee cushion bookmark with a fellow bibliophile, and enjoy their rolling delight. The world needs more laughter. And bookmarks." —Mim
Get it from Amazon for $7.32.
11. A pack of whimsical mini cloud-shaped utility knives that are soooo much more pleasant to keep at your desk than a big ol' box cutter. Still, like with anything with a blade, be careful and don't let their cuteness ~cloud~ your judgment!
Check them out on TikTok!
Promising review: "I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." —Amy Yasneski
Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.75.
12. A potato and shrimp tempura ambient light to cheer up your desk or bedside table and tempt you to order takeout pretty much every day.
It shuts off automatically after an hour and requires three AAA batteries.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $26.
13. And a plug-in color-shifting mushroom light, because yes, night-lights can be for grown-ups too — especially when they're the type of decor that shows everyone what a ~fungi~ you are. It even has a sensor and will get brighter the darker the room is!
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. 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.
14. A Dracula garlic mincer (which you can also use for things like ginger and nuts, though those aren't as funny) if you wanna add some spoopy ~seasoning~ to your dishes year-round. Just pop in the garlic and twist to press, crush, and mice several cloves at a time!
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 $22.95 (there's also a matching roller and rocker available!).
15. An adorable Crayola crayon-themed sticky note pad featuring different-sized sheets and tabs to take your color-coding and organizing to the next level. It'd be great on any desk, but especially cute in a classroom!
Get it from Box Lunch for $7.90.
16. A squee-worthy 12-inch corgi Squishmallow dressed to impress in a cute bandana, because western vibes are in this season. BRB, dedicating a whole room of my apartment solely to Squishmallows.
I have two Squishmallows, and let me tell you they are worth the hype for cute stuff lovers of any age. They are softer (think a velvety texture) and squishier than almost any other stuffed animal you'll find, they all come with names (this one's Reginald!), and the faces are just too cute to be allowed. They make great pillows, decor, or cuddle buddies, and TL;DR: you need one in your life!
Promising review: "He's a really good Squishmallow. He is really soft and cool. I love him a lot. He's the coolest Squishmallow. I love Reg! ❤️🐕" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
17. Adorbs mini strawberry candles (with a scent to match, ofc) for the cutest lil' tabletop accent you ever did ~seed~.
Check 'em out on TikTok!
Promising review; "These are just the cutest little candles and ever so summery! Their size, appearance, and scent are just like real strawberries. Perfect as little take-home favors or decorations for a backyard picnic!" —M. Milton
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors).
18. And fruit slice-inspired silicone coasters to complete your (vitamin) C for cute smörgåsbord of fruit-themed accents.
Promising review: "Are you kidding me? How could anyone rate these anything less than 5 stars? They are colorful and the pattern is exactly as pictured. They are wrapped individually. What a good buy! I plan on using mine in a door wreath because they are perfect for decorations." —J&SZack
Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $5.99.
19. A head massager thingy that is so cheap, so simple...yet feels sooooooo good. Just trust me, you need this in your life.
My boyfriend got a two-pack of head massagers like this and gave me one. We now use them on each other constantly and I am eternally grateful. I'm struggling to keep my description of how good it feels family-friendly, so that should give you an idea. It's awesome when you have a headache or just need to relax. The only downside is it WILL mess up your hair (especially if you have curls or textured hair, reviewers note) and may get caught if your hair is tangled, so use it gently. It's worth it!
Promising review: "This was a great purchase. Relieves my headaches. Easy to use!" —elidita luna
Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.59.
20. A hilarious Ikea bag coin purse with a zip top for securely holding your tiny essentials and an adorable design that'll make you feel like you took a visit to your favorite store every day (without all the schlep).
21. A subtle and brilliant Barbie enamel pin for anyone who has mixed feelings about the real world and relates heavily to Weird Barbie. Existential dread sold separately.
This Texas–based small biz makes super clever pop culture pins and Crocs charms.
Get it from Lindsaylandpins on Etsy for $10.
22. And because your love of enamel pins has become a bit of a habit, a pair of OMG-worthy earrings designed to be customized — with your epic pin collection, that is. If you have soooo many awesome pins that don't get to be shown off nearly enough, these will be the perfect solution (not to mention compliment magnets)!
They're from a Coconut Creek, Florida–based small biz that specializes in acrylic earrings!
Get them from Shop Pop Pastel on Etsy for $11+ (available in four closure options — including options for nonpierced ears — and two lengths).
23. A cutie pie (not to be confused with a cow pie 💩) cow pitcher and tumbler set that's worth the moo-lah for how much joy it'll bring you. Whether you wanna put it next to your bed, in your kitchen, or on your desk, add it to your cart *now*, not ungulate-r.
Promising review: "Too cute to pass up! Adorable!! The size makes it great for cream for coffee or tea or simply water at your bedside. Not to be confused with the larger version — this is great for a party of one. The cow’s head is small and nests perfectly into the body. Painted decor is spot on (no pun in intended) and the glass is good quality glass." —Eleni
Get it from Amazon for $16.85+ (available in two sizes).
24. A silly but cathartic reversible plush narwhal or shark (from the makers of the bestselling reversible octopus) to serve the function of looking cute on your desk, but also letting housemates or coworkers know when you do and don't have patience for their (nautical) nonsense.
Find more awesome reversible plushies on TeeTurtle's Amazon storefront.
Promising review: "My husband now knows when he can approach when I am crocheting. 🙂 Happy: approach because I'm not counting. 😠 Mad face don't even think of coming near me. 🤣😂😆😍🥰😍🥰 Love how it flips around easily from mad to happy. Soft material and just totally adorable." —lsaboue
Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 10 styles).
25. A meme-tastic Christmas ornament who just wants to observe your awkward conversations with that aunt who keeps asking when you'll have kids and then fade into the background. Bring him ~Homer~ for the holidays.
It's from a UK–based small biz that specializes in 3D-printed goodies.
Promising review: "Super hilarious concept, can’t wait to sneak him into the tree this year. Wasn’t sure what to expect material/quality-wise because I didn’t read the description (I just saw him and wanted him) so I was surprised that he’s such lightweight plastic. The photos all look like enamel which I know he would never be but I was still like whoaaa he’s a floaty boy! Should mean he won’t fall out of the tree though, which is perfect!" —Claire Gregory
Get it from Clemmy Creations on Etsy for $10.18.
26. Or a gorgeously detailed jeweled charcuterie board ornament for anyone who knows the best part of every holiday party = cheese and crackers (and also sparkly dresses that you try your darndest to not get crumbs on).
Get it from Baublebar for $38 (also available in three other food-themed styles).
27. A super smart water bottle attachment that reminds you to stay hydrated — yes, really. It can detect when you take a sip and will blink if it's been 30–40 minutes since your last gulp, ensuring that you have some H2O at least once an hour. The stretchy band fits around most vessels, so just pop it on your favorite bottle and start actually remembering to drink plenty of water.
It has a six-month (!!!) battery life! Check it out on TikTok.
Promising review: "I purchased the Ulla because for some reason I cannot remember to drink enough water. I have had this for one week and it absolutely helps! Even though it's tiny, the light will grab your attention in an instant. My water intake has tripled, my skin is improving, and I feel better than normal. Definitely worth trying!" —Hope S.
Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in four designs).
28. A bicycle-shaped pizza cutter with two stainless-steel blades that are ready to ride right through your 'za at your next get-together. I ~pedal~ your pals will want one, too.
Soho Kitchen is a small, NYC-based business established in 2015 that makes fun, pizza-inspired home goods.
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.
29. A Shower Cat tool that adheres to your shower wall and that you need if your roommate or S.O. has ever complained about how much hair you shed in the shower, but you're not sure how to stop leaving a mess of strands in your wake. Grab any loose hair and swipe left through this cute tool to trap it, then just swipe right to clean out. As easy as using a dating app, but actually less cringe-inducing???
It's made by a small business!
Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
30. A dino-mite pen set featuring fine tips and a price that'll go down in (pre)history as pretty epic — less than $1 per pen! IDK about you but I really want to write with that wee stegosaurus.
I got these for my bestie for her birthday this year and she loves them!
Promising review: "I LOVE these pens. They are so cute. I wish there were more colors like purple. They do color in black ink so that’s great. They are SUPER FINE TIP and dry quickly. No smearing which is always a win. Worth the $. My students will love these as rewards." —Stephanie Alonso
Get a set of 16 from Amazon for $12.99.
31. A set of gorgeous flower hair claw clips ready to finish off your 'dos with a flourish. Just because winter is coming, doesn't mean you've gotta say goodbye to cheery flowers — let 'em bloom right from your head.
Promising reviews: "These clips are GORGEOUS. I love how unique each one of them is. All of them hold my thin hair very well. They are very comfortable. The colors on each of the flowers are so pretty; I love how I could pick a color to match my outfit. Overall, really good quality as well. I've always loved metal clips since they hold my hair so much better than plastic ones." —regla
"Love them. They most definitely work for long thick hair and they are all really beautiful, not heavy on the head. ❤️ them." —Amanda Paso Cruz
Get a set of six from Amazon for $12.99.
32. A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder with an adhesive back for easy mounting so you can get the cutest entryway basically ever, *plus* stop constantly losing your keys. Cirrus-ly, you need this.
Promising review: "So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter
Get it from Amazon for $7.48.
33. A squee-worthy strawberry Pocky AirPods case that may come with side effect of making you feel snacky whenever you reach for your earbuds — but that's a small price to pay for the cuteness, and if you're anything like me you probably feel snacky 99% of the time anyway.
It fits Gen 1 and 2 'Pods.
Promising review: "It's the cutest thing I've ever seen! So worth the money! It's sturdy and keeps my AirPods safe and I couldn't ask for more. I read some reviews saying that it gets stained easily but I've been using it for a week and it looks as good as new." —Dafty
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
34. A crab spoon rest who'll do a ~clawsome~ job of keeping your utensil at the ready. I bet even Ariel would be glad to rest a dinglehopper on one of these.
He can also be used as a pen holder!
Promising review: "I have absolutely no good reason for buying a small crab spoon holder. However, I find Sebastian to be delightful and happy. Even when he's not holding a spoon, he's functional — it looks like he's cheering me on when I cook! No, he doesn't always stay standing, and no, the spoon doesn't always fit seamlessly into his little claws, but I didn't expect him to be perfect. I love him, and I'm glad I live in a world where I can buy whimsical things for my kitchen. Happy day!" —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors).
35. A ridiculous and ridiculously cute breakfast snail figure (whether your morning meal of choice be pancakes or a poppy seed bagel) — not sure SpongeBob had something quite so literal in mind when he wanted to serve up the most important meal of the day Gary's way, but I'm here for it.
36. A mini inflatable tube guy to make a day at your desk less of a snooze. It's hard to be stressed about that spreadsheet when he's over here waving his hands in the air like he just doesn't care!
It even comes with a mini booklet of facts about this wavy creatures that are always at car dealerships, for some reason.
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 coworkers 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 (also available in a purple, pearl-wearing version here!).
37. 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.
You gotta see the rest of the review photos — trust me.
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
Get one of six random designs from Amazon for $7.99.
38. A smile-inducing brass animal pal designed to hang out on your houseplant and give your foliage friends new life. There are so many cool animals available, there's no way you'll be able to pick just one!
These cuties are from a London-based small business with all kinds of cool plant and home goodies!
Promising review: "I bought the squirrel, the tree frog, and the bush baby, and they are so adorable! They are great quality and yet light enough to not weigh down the plant. I appreciate the biodegradable packaging as well. I highly recommend these. They're just so much fun!!" —Sarah
Get it from Another Studio on Etsy for $8.30 (available in 31 animals).
39. A TikTok-famous floating pasta timer by the name of Al Dente (LOL!) and who will sing a different melody (including the Godfather theme) seven, nine, and 11 minutes into cooking so you'll never overcook your noodles again. Who comes up with this stuff?!?!
40. And finally, the legendary screaming goat figure who is honestly a very, very big mood. Just press him and he lets out a cathartic shriek on your behalf! Because sometimes, you don't want to be a human adult, you want to be a goat.
He also comes with a little book of equally delightful goat facts.
Promising reviews: "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
"I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. He finds screaming goats particularly funny. He keeps it on his desk at work. If he’s ever having a bad day, his screaming goat makes him laugh and feel better. It may be small, but it makes a big impact. The book that comes with it is very tiny, about the same size as the goat." —TrvlinFam

Me pretty much any time I see an object that is cute and silly:
