    Amazon

    This alarm has sound if you'd like it use it. And it's VERY loud – even the heaviest sleepers won't stand a chance!

    Promising review: "This alarm clock has been a lifesaver/marriage-saver, LOL! My husband wakes up for work super early, and every morning, he would wake myself and my infant son up with his obnoxious alarm clock! I started to look into a vibrating alarm and decided on the Sonic Bomb to use the vibration feature only, and let me tell you IT WORKS and IT'S AWESOME!!! If you need a tactile alarm clock, I would definitely recommend the Sonic Bomb!" —Jessica

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in six colors).

    Tissue covered in brown buildup and saliva from tongue

    Promising review: "Unfortunately I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it's the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I went crazy trying to brush my tongue. Of course we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner and it had to be a stainless steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn't have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!" —jordanb

    Get it from Amazon for $8.63.

    Amazon

    This comes with a lavender essential oil.

    Promising review: "I’m very particular when it comes to scent so I’m picky about choosing products for my house and car. I’ve always used car air fresheners but was looking for an alternative that wouldn’t give me a headache with an overpowering chemical scent for my long commutes. This oil diffuser is a great alternative to other generic brands. The scent of lavender essential oil is lush, soothing but not overpowering which is great for de-stressing during my commutes. You can also place it on top of your work desk for a subtle and soothing aroma. The diffuser came in high quality packaging with two petite reeds sticks. Highly recommend it!" —Ellena

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    11. A bag of organic Death Wish coffee for anyone who truly believes in the phrase "death before decaf."

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Ok folks words of warning....if you have heart conditions, ration out your coffee. If you drink 24 oz Starbucks' grande, you need a 8 oz. of this as your FIRST cup. I'm serious; heed my warning or you could end up cleaning your entire house, doing all your yard work, making love to your partner, waxing your car, building a garage or single handedly raising the Titanic on your own; all in the fist hour after drinking this wonderful coffee. You have been warned!" —ITsTheXFactor

    Get it from Amazon for $17.49 (available in dark and medium roast). 

    12. Or a 12-pack of Mango Chainsaw Liquid Death — a flavored sparkling water that'll be beloved by anyone with a sense of humor and a hankering for a better hydration station in their house.

    Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

    I'm not shy about my inappropriate love for this water brand. I have sweatshirts, hats, and decor dedicated to it. My fridge is always stocked with the sparkling water. Now that they have flavors available? I need a bigger fridge. The Severed Lime is definitely the crowd favorite, but I like the sweet taste of the Mango Chainsaw. Go forth and hydrate. 

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in four other flavors).

    13. A pasta measuring tool for cooks who are incapable of using their ~noodle~ when it comes to solving the dreaded "how much dry pasta is too much cooked pasta" life quiz.

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    14. And a spaghetti strainer you can get out when you have a ~monstrous~ appetite and need your bod full of carb-filled fun.

    colander with four small legs and two handles with an eyeball on either side
    Amazon

    Promising review: "My wife received this as a gift from me, and she smiles every time she pulls it out from its home in the cabinet. That alone makes it worth five stars in my book, but it's also sized nicely (just slightly smaller than a 'standard' colander), made of very strong plastic, and the extremely expressive eyes make for great handles. What's not to like?" —Gentlemen Rook

    Get it from Amazon for $23.95.

    15. A trio of Pit Liquor deodorant that'll be a hit with anyone who wants a deodorant with earth-friendly packaging, sensational smells, and a formula that actually works. Oh yeah, these do all that and more! Go ahead and drink that in.

    I use Pit Liquor! I *love* using different aromas but my husband hates the smell of perfume, so I find more mellow options to get some good scent on my skin. I'm a sweaty person and these aren't antiperspirants, so I use another deodorant at night, but I stick with this stuff because I LOVE how I smell when it's on! The coconut rum with lime is...maybe too delicious. I'm a big fan. 

    Promising review: "I’m new to Pit Liquor and I got this bundle to try out a few different scents. I have to say, I’m really impressed. I love that there’s no residue and it works really well (even after a workout). My favorite so far is the whiskey lavender and I like to apply it right before bed (after a shower). It even doubles as a little bit of sleep aromatherapy!" —Felicia

    Get it on sale from Pit Liquor for $43+ (packs available in two sizes). 

    16. A bottle of wine drops, a natural sulfite and tannin remover — add a few drops of this and you can enjoy your drink without worrying about getting a headache afterwards. Why does wine treat us badly when we love it so much??

    Amazon

    One of these will treat up to 55 glasses of wine (up to nine bottles!). You need 1-2 drops for a white wine and 2-3 for a red.

    Promising review: "This product was really amazing. I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and never write a review, however this product is worth writing one. I've used the Wand as well and like it, however the biggest drawback of the Wand is having to explain why I'm using it to others and causing undue attention. This is a quick solution to that issue. The product itself works great. I get bad headaches whenever I drink wine, however with this product I'm able to drink two to three glasses without the headaches. I'm not sure exactly what causes the headaches, whether it's tannins, sulfites, etc., however I just know this cures the issue. I'm sure there are those who are skeptical, I certainly was, but I can truly say it works for me and hopefully others will find success using it as well." —luke

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    17. A machine washable coloring tablecloth sure to put your easily bored babe in the right ~frame~ of mind when you expect everyone in the family to sit together at the dinner table.

    Promising review: "I will definitely be investing in more of these masks. I was a bit skeptical to try a mask for my butt (LOL) but I actually felt it work! I felt the firmness and detox! I would recommend trying it, I will be purchasing more for sure. Thumbs-up!" —Lauren

    Get it from Amazon for $11.

    19. A keychain bracelet can help those of us who suffer through playing an eternal game of hide-and-seek with our house/car keys.

    Get it from Amazon for $11.43+ (available in three sizes).

    21. A coffee table from BloomingTables — you can simply ~plant~ this in front of your sofa and let the compliments roll in. I own this and I have never, in all my years, had a piece of furniture receive so much attention. People go wild over this thing!

    side table version

    I have a coffee table from this San Diego–based small biz and I LOVE it. I am an unapologetic maximalist — my apartment is chock-full of eye-catching decor that's all fighting to be the statement-making centerpiece of my home, but this coffee table is officially the winner. The table is completely leak free, and the draining valve keeps me from overwatering my furniture (a thing that is possible with this table, because the future is now). Be sure to check out the site's Instagram for inspiration!

    Get it from BloomingTables for $389 (available in two colors). 

    22. A TikTok-famous pick 'n' peel stone — a reviewer-favorite anxiety activity that may also help redirect your nervous habits, like picking at your skin or nails. This soothing alternative is sure to ~rock~ your world.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "My husband came home one day from a long day at work and I heard him pop open a can of beer in the shower. When I asked him about it, he explained the 'shower beer.' Upon some research and a little help from his best friend, I found this amazing product. Upon giving it to him (just because), he exclaimed that I was the wife of the year/century/eon. I'd pay $13.95 one hundred times over to see his happy face and receive such positive words of affirmation. Plus, I can enjoy a shower beer/wine/sparkling water too! Highly recommend this product for a spouse, friend, or family member!" —Catharine Garza 

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in six colors).

    Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available with or without eyes). 

    26. A pack of eight blooming lollipops — you won't have a ~lick~ of regret grabbing this fun treat. Just throw the sticks in your garden and soon you'll have "candy" plants peeking up outta the ground!

    Several small suckers with herbs around them

Each set includes unique flavor combinations that grow different plants: sage/marshmallow (grows sage), lavender/lemongrass (grows lavender), peach/marigold (grows marigold), strawberry/basil (grows basil), champagne/rose (grows rosetta cosmo), rosemary/mint (grows mint), lemon/thyme (grows thyme), and vanilla/hibiscus (grows baby blue eyes).

    A martini glass filled with sparkling rose gold liquid
    Amazon

    I'm such a sucker for weird/fun finds online. I impulse bought this the very first time I saw it and, ugh, I adore it. It is such an unnecessarily silly thing *and yet* it really has made for some fun, spruced up, sips. It has no taste, lasts forever (you need very little per cup), and it'll certainly brighten up a boring drink.

    Promising review: "The glitter was excellent and made the beer shimmer just as expected. Everyone loved it and stared at it with wonder and delight. The glitter does coat the glass, making subsequent beers glittery. I recommend jiggling the keg a bit, so the glitter doesn’t settle. This is a great product. I will definitely buy again." —Jennifer Konecky

    Get it from Amazon for $10.87 (available in 25 colors). 

    29. And a food tray that'll satisfy parents of picky eaters. *Any* idea that gets picky kids to eat is a good one...even if that means playing with their food.

    Promising review: "Unbelievable!!! I'm sooo extremely thrilled with these plates. My granddaughter is four and she's been a very, very picky eater since she was two. We've tried every trick in the book to get her to eat her veggies (something other than chicken nuggets, spaghetti, mac and cheese). This plate changed that — now she asks for second helpings of broccoli!! I was so thrilled I ordered all varieties of these plates." —Lisa Sernick

    Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in six styles).

    30. A set of seat gap fillers, because the number one beef you and your car get into isn't about that constantly blinking check-engine light, it's how often your french fries and cell phone fall into that barely-not-hand-sized abyss between the seats.

    It'll also prevent any french fries from getting lost down there, too. 🍟

    Promising review: "I watched the episode of Shark Tank this was on. I have had incidents where things have dropped into the gap between seat and console and what a pain that is! This product is so simple and easy to install. I highly recommend it and wonder why I didn't think of it first." —the crew dog

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.

    31. A zipper puller that'll help you zip up any outfit, even if it was designed by someone who just assumed everyone must have double-jointed elbows. We don't.

    Promising review: "I purchased this zipper puller for a very dear friend of mine. She recently lost her husband after 62 years together. She loves to dress up and was concerned that she would not be able to wear dresses with back zippers, that was always her husband's job. She was so thrilled when I gave her this gift, she actually cried. Sometimes the smallest of gifts brings so much happiness."—reds

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).

    32. A travel Poo-Pourri that's small, subtle, and ready to save you from feeling down in the ~dumps~ when you really need to use a public toilet and know there's a line of people outside who are trying not to think about why you're taking so long.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I think this is the most adorable thing ever. I bought it so I could keep it in my purse, but once I started working in an office, I decided to tuck it into my desk drawer. It's discreet, and when I need to go to the restroom, I can bring it along without anyone noticing. Now I don't need to use obnoxious chemicals to mask the smells. One of the women in my office has a sensitivity to chemical perfumes, so I'm sure she'd appreciate that I'm not contributing to her suffering." —brinnet

    Get it from Amazon for $7.39.

    33. A machine-washable rug with such a rad style your maximalist mind just might accidentally let this thing slither into your shopping cart. Whoops.

    green and blue rug with dual snake image in the center
    Ruggable

    I have the runner version of this rug! I actually own two Ruggable rugs. After I got one for my living room I knew this was the best type of rug for my home. I have cats and have a bad habit of wearing my shoes indoors...having rugs I can throw in the wash feels heaven-sent! And they are cool. Way too cool. 

    Promising review: "This rug looked brilliant online but is that much better IRL. I just washed it the first time and it looks like new. 100% recommend!" —Anna O.

    Get it from Amazon for $25.95.

    35. A kid-friendly Pillow Cube for tiny toddlers and big-kids alike. These are designed for providing comfortable neck support, helping your kid actually sleep through the night.

    Pillow Cube

    I love Pillow Cube! I switch from sleeping on my side to sleeping on my back at night and this is the best pillow for that. The kids' version above might be more fun than the traditional options, but Pillow Cube's loft design makes them all worth the splurge! You get a pillow based on your height, meaning it won't be too tall for you to comfortably snooze with. You can even take a quiz to make sure you get the best pillow for you! Love that.

    Promising review: "We have one of each and they are amazing. My kids absolutely love them and take them everywhere. I’m also enjoying my sloth. We are one happy family. Thank you for designing these adorable pillows." —Jennifer Florez

    Get it on sale from Pillow Cube for $59.99 (available in four styles).
