1. A LOLworthy "Tears of men who have wronged me" perfume with notes of driftwood and sea salt so you can smell the salty tears of the exes, mansplainers, etc. who have made you oh-so salty.
Promising review: "Perfect gift for too many people you know. I bought this as a joke for my friend; she absolutely loves it. It smells great too — it’s like a light sandalwood scent." —Jillian Dannunzio
Get it from Amazon for $31.95.
2. 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 for one with the greatest side dish of all — your For You page.
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 $18.99+ (available in three colors).
3. Amazing Rocketbook index cards, which, like the brand's famous smart notebooks, can be scanned into the Rocketbook app for safekeeping, then wiped clean with water and reused endlessly. The app even lets you display them in a slideshow like regular flashcards and allows you to search your notes!
Yes, this is the stuff of office supply sci-fi novels, a genre we never knew we needed until now. The cards are double-sided, with lines on the front and a dot grid on the back so they work for all kinds of notes. The set comes with a pen but also works with any Pilot Frixion writing utensils.
Promising review: "I purchased these for my college-age kids for their studies at my daughter's urging (environmental reasons). It has been a great success! The Study Mode through the app has made studying for exams much easier and less of a hassle. No more bent cards. No more lost cards. All of them are in the Study Mode just waiting for self-quiz. My daughter even connects her phone to her TV and turns studying into trivia night!" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of 40 plus a pen and microfiber cloth from Amazon for $14.32.
4. An "awww"-inspiring set of plush cat toys featuring a pretzel, croissant, baguette, cinnamon roll, seeded roll, and slice of bread, because your kitty is always making biscuits but has yet to see any actual baked goods come from their efforts. It's time for that to change.
"Welcome to the bread bank. We sell bread, we sell loafs...."
Promising review: "Sturdy, cute, and my cat actually likes them! I have the pickiest, grumpiest, old man of a cat who doesn't ever want to play with toys. I've been trying out different types of toys to see if maybe he'd finally take a liking to something. As soon as I took the croissant out of the package he grabbed it and started swatting it around the room. I'm so happy! Gotta keep the old kitties active and entertained!" —Angelo
Get a set of six from Amazon for $15.99.
5. A genuinely hilarious sticker celebrating one of the most relatable but also most underrated lines in Bridesmaids, because who amongst us wouldn't be tempted to take nine golden retriever puppies from a bridal shower???
Always Fits is a wonderfully quirky small biz based in Massachusetts with a huge selection of cheeky and pop-culture-inspired gifts.
Promising review: "Greatly increases productivity. I absolutely love this sticker. I placed it on my laptop. The first time using my laptop after receiving my sticker, I was able to write a paper for my graduate ethics class and wrote a 12-page paper in two hours. True story!" —Steph
Get it from Always Fits for $4.95.
6. A stylish and convenient taco holder that'll make your favorite dinner even better (and certainly more Instagramable).
Promising review: "These are fun to use and make assembling a taco much easier. Perfect size for a regular-sized soft or hard corn tortilla taco shell. The colorful side holds two tacos and the plain side holds three tacos. Tacos keep their shape and are really easy to pick up out of the holder. Makes it easier for everyone and especially for kids. Super easy to clean. I wash by hand, so don't know how well they hold up in the dishwasher. They are a sturdy hard plastic-type material; I've dropped them several times and so far no chips, cracks, or breakage. Totally buying more. Love these." —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three designs).
7. AirPods-compatible hooks for anyone who hasn't wanted to admit that their beloved, trendy, high-tech earbuds don't actually stay in their ears very well. Even if they do, you could definitely use a little extra protection against losing such splurge-y items, especially when exercising or on the go.
Promising review: "The hooks are comfortable and solve the problem of the earbuds falling out over and over again. An unexpected benefit is that the Pods can sit gently on the ear; no need to shove them inside to secure them. I can barely feel the Pods or the hooks. Glad I found these…they solve all problems. And I can wear my glasses while wearing them. Great price, too." —TutorMaven
Get them from Amazon for $10.49.
8. NYX's Powder Puff Lippie, a matte wonder from the fan-fave, cruelty-free brand that comes in the cutest little tube with a brush applicator that'll feel low-maintenance but still give you the liquid lip look you love.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh! I am so in love!!!! First, the matte is stunning!!!! It took me a minute to figure out how to get the color out and saturate the brush lol. I also love how it feels. It doesn't feel greasy or waxy at all! I am just so impressed!!!!" —Tessa
Get it from Amazon for $6.19+ (available in 14 colors).
9. A dark chocolate bar filled with creamy brownie batter (yes, you read that correctly!!!) for anyone who's ever wished biting into a candy bar felt a bit more like biting into a lava cake.
I just tried one of these wonders for the first time yesterday, and OMG. I had low expectations after trying the brand's cookie dough bar, where you could see but not really taste the cookie dough filling. Not so with the brownie batter version. Keeping one of these at my desk to eat a piece mid-workday is like having little desktop bites of chocolate cake. The texture of the filling really stands out against the rest of the dark chocolate bar, and the flavor is truly brownie-batter-tastic! The bar also come split into pieces so it's easy to break a couple off for a 3 p.m. (or 7 p.m., or midnight...) treat.
Get it from Dylan's Candy Bar for $3.75.
10. The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of the Whole Stupid World, a silly tome for anyone who loves (or, I suppose, hates) birds but is bored by typical field guides. This one is full of NSFW names and descriptions for different species that'll have you LOLing even if you never actually go looking for said birds IRL.
11. 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 AnotherStudio on Etsy for $8.42 (available in 28 animals).
12. A stunning cubic zirconia and freshwater pearl necklace that could pass for a genuine piece of fine jewelry, but has a price tag I actually cannot believe. Spoiler alert: it's under $30!!!
Promising review: "I love it. The necklace is a great length, and I love that it can be dressed up or down and still looks good." —Flowergirl63
Get it from J. Crew for $29.50.
13. Impressively real-looking faux tulips for anyone who loves the look of fresh flowers in their home, but not so much the whole keeping-them-alive thing.
Promising review: "Gorgeous artificial flowers!! Perfect for those of us who are allergy-riddled floral enthusiasts. I use them for seasonal and holiday decorating, as well as homemade gifts for my family and friends. I love the careful attention to detail, particularly how random leaves appear to have 'dirt' as if freshly picked right from the garden. Really appreciate a quality allergy-free floral option." —Jen M
Get a set of 28 from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in eight colors).
14. Smart 10, a cool twist on a trivia game that's not too easy or hard and doesn't take too long or short a time to play. It's Goldilocks-level jusssstttt right for time at home with your fam.
I'm not much of a games person, but my family does love Bananagrams. So when the makers of our fave word game sent me this cool trivia game from their brand, I figured it was worth a try. I played it while home with my parents and it was so much fun! To play, you pass around the device holding the trivia cards (which is a bit unwieldy, my one complaint) and take turns answering the trivia prompt. Each card has a main question (like which movie a duo of iconic characters is from) and 10 parts of that question around the side (for example, 10 character duos, like Rose and Jack). Players pass the device around, each answering one prompt and removing the corresponding marker to see if they were right (so I'd say "Titanic" and pass it off for someone else to answer for a different duo). You collect points for each right answer but are out of the round if you get one wrong. Then, you move to the next card and the first player to 30 points wins. I really enjoyed the mix of questions — because they cover everything from pop culture to geography to history, there's something for everyone. Plus, each card has prompts that are easier and some that are harder, so you can be strategic about which you answer. I'm looking forward to playing again!
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
15. An awesome mini donut maker that'll turn donut mix or any other kind of batter (store-bought is fine, I won't tell!) into seven scrumptious snack-size circles in minutes. It even comes with a recipe book so you'll have a ~hole~ lot of ideas for toppings and glazes.
Promising review: "Donut pass this up. This little device has changed how we brunch! It has a decently long cord, which makes it easy to use in a kitchen without a ton of outlets, and it only takes a few minutes to heat up. Once ready, it only takes 5–7 minutes to make a batch of delicious and piping hot mini donuts. It comes with a book with all kinds of donut recipes, which is so helpful. The plates get really hot so it definitely isn't safe for kids to use, but I use a makeshift Ziploc piping bag to help keep my distance while I fill the molds, which I highly recommend. I wish the plates were removable, that would make it much easier to clean, but it isn't very difficult to sponge it down once cool." —Stephanierunsforfun
Get it from Amazon for $21.50+ (available in two designs).
16. A cathartic and OMGworthy bubble wrap calendar you'll look forward to popping every day. This gives a whole new meaning to ringing in a new year with ~bubbly~.
It comes with dot stickers you can use to write little reminders on certain days.
Promising review: "This is the talk of my office. Everyone laughs about me 'getting stabby' with the days as I pop my bubbles. Moreover, I like seeing where I am in the year by using this. It helps me understand a year is shorter than it seems. I use a bright pink thumbtack to mark what day it is. Cute!" —HoundMama
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
17. 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
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $11.50.
18. A genius device that sticks right on your (or your kid's or pet's) pill bottle so you never have to doubt whether you took your medicine or not. Plus, they're reusable, so you can peel 'em off and stick on new bottles when you get a refill.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I’ve tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." —Niki
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99.
19. An adjustable measuring cup from the kitchen geniuses at Oxo to eliminate eyeballing and guesstimating for good. Plus, the adjustable body can also be used like a squeegee to push out all of even the stickiest ingredients.
It can expand to hold up to 2 cups.
Promising review: "I love love love these. It’s the ONLY way to measure peanut butter, Crisco, and other spackle-like ingredients. No more scraping and scraping to get peanut butter out of your measuring cup, and you’ll get out 99.9% of the peanut butter you put into the cup! That never happens with a regular measuring cup. Easy to clean too. I’m forever forgetting which way to take it apart and reassemble it, but it only goes two ways (lol) so it doesn’t take long to figure it out." —sandy s
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
20. And a sliding adjustable measuring spoon that can slide from a quarter to a full teaspoon on one end and a half to a full tablespoon on the other, so you won't need to clutter your drawer or dishwasher with a full set of measuring spoons. Honestly, why do the regular, nonadjustable versions exist at all?
Promising review: "One measuring spoon to replace several...how can you go wrong? The two pieces completely separate so you can wash it thoroughly! Pleased with my purchase and the amount of room it just freed up in my drawer!" —zonneschijn
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
21. An iconic "This is fine" meme Funko Pop! figure, because you and your desk deserve a cute little buddy who captures your energy while you're at work/reading the news/just plain trying to exist in 2022.
Promising review: "Things at work have been super stressful lately, and as a result I’ve been losing morale. This little guy makes me smile whenever I’m sitting at my desk a bit frustrated. The lettering was fine on the mug I received and the paint seems fine. I would keep the cardboard panel with the flames on it to give it better context. I just taped the cardboard flames onto my pencil holder. Love this little guy." —Cheryll
Get it from Amazon for $14.86.
22. An iconic Levi's faux leather moto jacket in the bright color of your dreams. It comes in so many hues and textures, from basic to bold, you're sure to find one that'll make you swoon (I certainly did).
I own too many jackets; it's just a fact. I don't wear fur or leather for ethical reasons, so I specifically own a lot of faux leather jackets. Purple is my favorite color, so yes, I own a few purple jackets. But let me tell you, I ordered this baby right after I saw it anyway, closet space be damned. It's such a rich, pigmented, unusual shade of purple (not eggplant, not lilac, but IN-YOUR-FACE-BRIGHT purple) that I couldn't pass it up. These are definitely thicker moto jackets, which means they're not like lighter faux leather jackets I have that I can almost toss on like a sweatshirt. No, these are definitely made to be part of a more put-together look, but they are great for it. The length is excellent, because it's cropped enough I could see it working with skirts or dresses, but not so cropped that it looks awkward with jeans. I've only worn it once so far, but I have plenty of other outfit ideas. I rocked it as part of a super layered look, and both for that reason and for comfort I would recommend going up a size if you're between sizes!
Get it from Amazon for $48.92+ (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in 38 colors and prints).
23. An AirFly Pro device you can just pop into any headphone jack to easily pair your AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones with otherwise impossible to pair gadgets like exercise machines, airplane movie screens, or incompatible computers and phones. Pure genius.
Promising review: "Really like this product! It works! I utilize it every day at work. Hook it up to the work PC and gain the ability to attend teams meetings utilizing your AirPods or watch YouTube without being subject to a corded connection. Seamless connection to phone or PC. Long battery life but if you’re like me, I always have it charging while in use utilizing the USB port above the audio input jack. The felt bag it comes in is quality and retains all the gear perfectly. My favorite thing is the cap it comes with has a small metal ring on it for utilization on a key ring, however if you don’t care to keep it on your key ring I have found that while not in use you can slide the metal ring over the input connector and it fits perfectly and will allow you to store the cap without fear of misplacing it." —Joseph Kidwell
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
24. Cubic zirconia-embellished takeout box stud earrings combining two of life's greatest joys — food delivery and sparkly jewelry. If the whole "we have food at home" thing has never deterred you from placing a Grubhub order, these are for you (also, same).
Get them from Baublebar for $44.
25. An amazing exfoliating mitt you can use after a long shower or bath soak to get a simultaneously luxurious and kinda gross (but in a satisfying way!!!) exfoliation experience that'll leave you feeling like a whole new person.
Take it from the user below, who left one of the best and funniest reviews I've read in a while 😂.
Promising review: "Let me start by saying, I never knew that I was a walking, living, breathing mummy zombie lady. The first time I used this glove, I soaked in the bath to get my skin nice and prepped. I whipped that thing out expecting a bit of skin to fluff off, but what ensued was 30 minutes straight of scrubbing skin off that had built up since I was a toddler. I swore at one point I found old Band-Aid goo that had been buried under years of dead skin. OK, maybe that's not true, but with the amount of dead skin that came off my body, it could have been! I finally finished removing my snake skin and began draining the bathtub. What was left was like a scene from a horror movie. The entire bottom of the bathtub couldn't be seen because of the numerous chunks of dead skin clinging to it. That's not counting what went down the drain. I can only imagine that the creatures down there will one day rise to hunt me down and eat me because they gained an affinity for the taste of my flesh. I had to take an extra 15 minutes to clean my bathtub due to the gray, zombie skin that refused to be rinsed away. In other words, if you don't want to be a mummy, zombie person, this glove is your ticket to the living realm. Buy the glove, join the living — thank me later." —Shannon Graham
26. 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.
27. An iridescent button-down blouse, which would be especially dreamy tucked into black jeans or a skirt.
28. A handy (or nose-y?) doggy doorbell your pupper need only boop with their snoot to let you know it's time to go out or come in — no more barking and scratching. Reviewers say their pups took to it easily, and it even has a built-in treat holder for training!
Promising review: "This is literally one of the best inventions EVER. I used this doorbell many years ago to potty train my stubborn puppy. She never learned house training before I got her at six months old, so it was hard to engrain it in her. Now I've pulled it out again because my eldest dog can't hold it as long as before, and he is not good at letting us know when he needs to go and was having accidents indoors. It was SUPER easy to get him to learn it — I had already tried using the bells hanging from the doorknob but they aren't loud enough if he doesn't hit them hard and he didn't get it. ONE treat later he got this immediately and no more accidents. Be careful using treats though. The first training session he kept ringing the bell thinking it meant treats not outside :)." —Emily Feldman
Get it from Amazon for $30.
29. Adjustable shoe stackers to keep your precious pairs together without squishing them and save major shelf space, even if you've got a shoe collection to rival Carrie Bradshaw's.
Promising review: "I bought a 20-pack of these and started to organize my shoes which were taking over the shoe closet. I ended up buying another 20 pack two days later as this was a lifesaver. Made it easy to organize and store my shoes. This is a no-brainer." —Jason C.
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $33.99.
30. A truly delightful set of patterned nail wrap stickers that will make it look like you got professional nail art done, but are actually a fraction of the price and will probably last longer.
I just ordered this set after trying out a different, now-sold-out pattern from this Utah-based shop, because I had to have more. I'm honestly blown away — I've had these stickers on for over a week and they are still over 90% intact on every finger, and not a single one has fallen off since I applied them. As if that wasn't enough, they're somehow only FIVE BUCKS. They weren't hard to apply or shape to my nails at all. All of that + the fact that this small biz makes tons and tons more designs for their wraps (which are made from real nail polish on medical-grade adhesive) = many more orders in my future. The only thing I didn't like was that there was a lot of pesky peeling involved to access each sticker, and that combined with my short nails mean that the process made a decent amount of waste. Still, I'm super excited about finding this brand, and the fact that each set comes with a few extras means you have backups if you mess up *or* you can save them for future manis to come (hello accent nails!). And psst, another tip: I finished off my mani with my favorite Orly top coat.
Get 16 wraps from Sawyer and Scout on Etsy for $4.99.
31. Badass faux-patent combat boots with chunky heels that will literally and figuratively elevate every single outfit. Your floral dresses are all drooling rn, I just know it.
32. An unbelievably ingenious sock organizer made to fight back against the phenomenon that's plagued humankind since the invention of the washing machine — disappearing hosiery. You can throw this thing right in the laundry (!!!) so you'll never loose half of a pair of socks in the abyss again, or even have to spend time matching them up when you unload the dryer!
Promising review: "Totally obsessed with this! I’ve been using it a few weeks now and have zero complaints! I haven’t lost a single sock since! They always come out paired and completely dried (which was one of my concerns; I wasn’t sure if they were going to dry properly). I would definitely recommend this! It’s amazing and makes life so much easier! Especially with a toddler and baby on the way!" —Sarah Elizabeth
Get a set of two from Amazon for $18 (available in five colors).
33. An endlessly amusing Bluetooth karaoke microphone shaped like a smiley cup of boba tea, because why not? It's perfect for your next night in with friends and for showing off your mellifluous voice and ~bubbly~ personality.
Get it from Smoko for $38.
34. A bold and badass swimsuit with a fun, zebra print (I'm talking literal zebras, not just stripes) one-shoulder top and a reversible one-shoulder bottom that can be solid or patterned depending on how bold you're feeling. It's so clever because when put together, it looks like a one-piece, but you can break it up and mix and match it with your other swimwear!
This cool, Black-owned swim shop is based in Brooklyn, NY.
Promising review: "Great swimsuit and awesome seller! My new favorite swimsuit! Thank you so much!" —Courtney Jones
Get it from Nakimuli on Etsy for $110 (available in women's sizes S–3X and in two top colors).
35. The most wonderfully obscure, IYKYK Taylor Swift fandom enamel pin this town has ever seen, featuring a dog that has clearly been stolen and dyed key lime green. My fellow "The Last Great American Dynasty" stans, I hope you have a marvelous time affixing him to your jean jacket or backpack.
On a website full of Swiftie merch, this NY-based Etsy shop has a truly unique selection.
Get it from MySwiftObsession on Etsy for $8.
36. A ridiculously fun remote-control Krabby Patty car with working headlights and helmed by none other than SpongeBob (look out, Mrs. Puff) so your kiddos (or, tbh, you) can have a blast zooming around and doing everything they were taught not to do at a stoplight.
Get the required AA batteries here.
Promising review: "Worth every penny! I bought this for my 2 1/2-year-old grandson. He loves it! It runs into furniture constantly and is still in one piece. He’s already learned to operate the remote control. The car is fast! It turns right and left, goes forward and reverses, and has working headlights. He has had so much fun playing with it. I have too. 😂" —Sylvia
Get it from Amazon for $29.69.
37. An oh-so-clever flash drive shaped like an old-school tape for anyone whose love language is music and who misses the good old days when playlists were physical prezzies and not just Spotify links.
You can find several different designs and styles in this UK-based shop!
Promising review: "This is a really cute idea and it has lots of storage space. I put a lot of photos, notes, and music on it for a friend and still had room to spare." —Rochelle Goss
Get it from The Blank Record Store on Etsy for $25.46+ (available with 4 or 16 GB storage, with or without personalization, and with five gift box options, and in more styles here).
38. A shockingly stylish treat pouch to solve the eternal do-I-bother-bringing-a-purse-just-to-walk-the-dog-and-what-kind struggle once and for all. Like New York's hottest club, it has everything — room for both doggo and human essentials, the ability to be worn as a crossbody or fanny pack, and even a poop bag dispenser on the side!
Promising review: "Practical and stylish. This treat pouch is so much better than the fanny pack I used to use! The strap sits comfortably across my body or around my waist, the divider inside keeps my phone and keys away from the dog treats, and the poop bag holder is an awesome feature! I got it in black, and I love that it doesn’t scream 'dog treat bag' like a lot of bags you see at pet stores. " —Nicole D.
Get it from Wild One for $44 (available in three colors).
