1. An *electric* adjustable standing desk with *gorgeous* solid wood details that'll make you feel right at home in your home office. It's SO hard to find office furniture that doesn't look stagnant or stale. This ~wood~ certainly be a game-changer in your place!
Mopio is a small business located in California.
Promising review: "I searched high and low for a good quality stand/sit desk at a good price. I almost settled on one of the particle board options that comes in segments, but I really didn't like that idea. Pretty far down the search results, I found this item with a solid wood top at a great price. Assembly was easy, it's quite well-built, heavy, stable, and elevating or lowering is smooth and consistent. I felt like this might be one of those items that is too good to be true, but it's not! Their customer service is also great. I contacted them with a question, and they promptly responded. The listing showed as a local business, after a quick search I found a listing in California for this company. For me, that is another plus." —Lutrus

2. A bagel guillotine which, despite its delightfully dreadful name, is just about the safest way you could ever slice a bagel. Grab this to help your kids make breakfast without the fear of losing a digit.
Promising review: "I picked this up because my heart could no longer take the stress of watching our 11-year-old slice bagels (while multitasking with screens and whatnot) with a serrated bread knife. I was going to have a heart attack and she was going to slice into her hand so... I had high hopes and, regardless of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, some concerns about how well this would work. My concerns were unwarranted. This not-so-little little device slices through every single bagel, every single time (and my kid goes through kicks where she'll eat two or three each day). I no longer worry about serious cuts even though the (covered) blade on this thing is SHARP! Only word of advice, like other reviewers, slice (press down) slowly so as not to squash softer bagels. Additionally, this thing slices so cleanly that there are no crumbs to speak of. I'm quite happy with this purchase. This thing now has a permanent place next to the toaster on our counter. I highly recommend it." —Christopher RS
Get it from Amazon for $19.46+ (available in four colors).
3. Some rabbit 'jamas for cozy folks who dream of living in a Beatrix Potter novel.
This is a small business located in New Jersey.
Promising review: "These are a very high quality set of pajamas. The print is very cute (looks just as you'd expect in the photos)! The detailings are all very high-end (buttons, collar, etc.). The seller was very nice and accommodated when I asked for sizing options!" —Alanna Zhou
Get them from Cozyloungewear on Etsy for $40.12+ (originally $57.32+; available in sizes XS–L).
4. A completely wire-free under-cabinet light — this motion-activated light can make your kitchen juuust bright enough so you can find that ice cream hidden in the back of your freezer at three in the morning. Reviewers also recommend throwing these in your pantry, closet, or along your stairs.
Check this out on TikTok.
The rechargeable battery lasts 90 days in auto mode (if turned on roughly three times a day) or up to 33 hours of constant lighting. It has touch controls for toggling on/off and adjusting the brightness!
Promising review: "I’ve had my eye on these lights for a while and when they went on sale I decided to grab two for under my kitchen cabinets to replace my old light system that quit working. Love that these are rechargeable and the light is attached to a magnetic bar so I can take it down anytime I need to. The motion sensors don’t work consistently for me during the day where I have them mounted but work great at night. But since I can turn them on when needed during the day, this doesn’t bother me. They let off a lot of light and work great for a kitchen counter light. I am very pleased with these lights!" —Nikki
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in warm or white light styles).
5. A bag re-sealer I'd personally buy for the looks alone (it's basically a tiny hair straightener! CUTE!), for anyone who would love the chance to reseal their snacks and keep them feelin' fresh.
Promising review: "Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips I open daily. This sealer worked great. Heated up in, like, 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now, I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" —Stacy0814
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors).
6. A pair of waterproof, LED-lit Bluetooth speakers so you can have surround sound tunes practically perfecting the ambiance of your yard. Plus, these are surprisingly good looking! Go ahead, consider them outdoor decor.
The Bluetooth distance between phone and speaker is up to 33 feet, while the dual pairing distance between the two speakers is up to 66 feet!
Promising review: "The surround sound that we get at night while sitting around the fire pit is wonderful! We invested in shepherd's hooks so that we can relocate wherever we want! Nice." —Denise Peoples
Get the two-pack from Amazon for $169.98 (available with white or rainbow lights).
7. A woven oak accent chair — your dark academia study is basically begging you to buy this.
Promising review: "This looks smart. It came with great instructions and assembly was easy. It looks like chairs selling for twice as much. Adds distinctive decor to your room." —Raven–Rock
Get it from Amazon for $169.90+ (available in seven colors).
8. A sawtooth border edger for expertly cutting grass that's making your garden or curb look a little shaggy. Your neighbors are about to think you got a landscaper...keep them guessing!
Promising review: "I ordered this after struggling the past few seasons with getting neat, attractive edging using my current tools. I was never able to achieve the look and depth I wanted. I needed something I could manage physically (not too heavy or awkward) as a senior attempting to maintain my corner city lot. This is the cat's meow. The tool overall is heavy enough to provide stability but not so heavy that it hurts my shoulders or arms to use repetitively while edging. The 'T' handle is comfortable, it is a perfect length, and the teeth cut right through roots, grass, weeds, etc. with absolutely no problem." —Peaches
Get it from Amazon for $32.98.
9. A drool-worthy animal print rug to give any room a wild touch. I know you sometimes watch TV until 11 p.m....on a SCHOOL night. You party animal.
Promising review: "This rug is SO FUN. It’s CHIC and not at all silly looking. Perfect element of sass." —Natalia Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $128.71+ (available in four styles).
10. A lightweight parachute hammock for people who would spend time huffing and puffing on a hike *only* if it means snagging a nature nap in the most peaceful spot possible.
Promising review: "This is super comfy and light. It's very easy to put up and wide enough that I was able to have a sleeping bag, two blankets, and my pillow in it. I had room to actually roll around a little; I laid on my back and side very comfortably. I would purchase this item again and from this seller. The hammock arrived on time and in great condition!" —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $23.97+ (available in 10 colors).
11. A pie bird — place this in the center of your unbaked pie and it can prevent the filling from boiling over while baking. The design helps distribute moisture throughout the dish to keep the bottom from getting soggy *and* it even helps up top by making sure the crust cooks evenly and doesn't split!
This pie bird is safe for the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler, and dishwasher!
Promising review: "Amazing what difference this bird can make to your pie! I definitely made the best apple pie I've ever made with this little device. For the first time ever, my pie did not spill out juices onto the pan below or into the stove, and the crust was flaky and crisper than it has ever been. I really cannot speak highly enough of how well this pie bird worked. If you make pies, you need one of these!" —Happylakedreamer
Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (available in five colors).
12. A Stone + Lane dinnerware set — a practical item that'll be right there beside you when you and your BFF ~dish~ out all the gossip you've gotta catch up on over dinner.

Promising review: "I love trying new products (only those that are cruelty-free). I have to say this pleasantly surprised me. It only takes two small dots of the product on my cheeks, blended with a brush, and the result is just beautiful. The pink color is a fresh natural color. It lasts all day and then then some. This is also great for travel. I will be ordering another color to try." —Deborah T.
Get it from Amazon for $36 (available in four shades).
14. A ball launcher for making sure your dog (and your rotator cuff) enjoy a day at the dog park.
Promising review: "I don’t know who has more fun my dog or me? LOL. I’ve used this for fetch every day for over a week now. It’s a ton of fun! I like that you can pick the ball up with the end of the gun. It saves your back and while my dog isn’t a slobber hound like others I’ve had...it’s nice you don’t have to touch the ball after it’s dog slimed. Get the mini model for small tennis balls and the large gun shoots conventional size tennis balls! Get it! You and our dog will thank me!" —workoutnut2010
Get it from Amazon for $22.95.
15. A cotton knit duvet cover so you can cover up your old duvet and make your bedroom look like a wonderland even if you only sloppily make the bed. Bless.
And if you're looking for a great duvet to fill this cover, here's a hypoallergenic option that reviewers love!
Promising review: "I have been looking for a terracotta jersey knit duvet cover forever and took a chance with this one. The color is great, a dark terra-cotta/rust color. It’s soft, but if I had to be nit-picky it isn’t as soft as other jersey knit fabrics I have felt. Shipping was surprisingly fast and the size was perfect for my queen bed. Overall I am happy with my purchase." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $63.01+ (available in three sizes and 26 colors).
16. A tall table-cooler combo for keeping all the drinks and snacks you could possibly want by the fire pit, rather than risk having to go back into the house to grab a beer. Who wants to go back inside when the stars are OUTSIDE?!
Promising review: "Have gotten so many compliments on this already. Great even when not using as a cooler for just a functional end table near our furniture around the fire pit. Can put drinks on there, s'mores stuff, etc. It's nice because it functions as a table without being big and bulky. It can easily be moved around to where it is needed. and the cooler function of course is what sets it apart from all other tables and makes it awesome!" —Amy M.
Get it from Amazon for $83.96+ (available in two colors).
17. A Corico dish designed specifically to hide olive and cherry pits. Go ahead, make your cheese boards glorious! Thanks to this dish, there won't be any leftover bits to make it look like the ~pits~.
I have this dish! My husband and I love hosting dinner parties and particularly like having a cheese plate out. This has been such a lovely solution for hiding olive pits! It keeps the board looking nice and saves folks from fumbling around with pits on their plates. I love it!
Get it from Amazon for $30.
18. Cloning paste — if you've found that your houseplants are standing around stagnant, you're gonna *love* this stuff! This little formula helps encourage new growth and buds. It's technically made for orchids but it works on all sorts of plants! Begonias, string of pearls, pothos, you name it!
Check out the TikTok about this paste for information.
To use this spiffy stuff, just locate a node and peel away the bract to reveal the bud. Apply a small amount of the paste and in two to eight weeks, a clone will grow out of the node! Science is so satisfying.
Promising review: "This product is just AMAZING!!! I waited a few months before writing this review because I wanted to test the product first. I am just AMAZED! I have to say...depending on the season and the place on the spike where you apply it, you either get a keiki or new flower spike (which is awesome!). Based on my experiments, the lower on the spike, the more chances to get a keiki. The higher on the spike, the more chances to get a new flower spike. If you apply it during winter (tropical area winter), you will more likely get flower spikes. If you apply it during summer (tropical areas), you will more likely get a keiki — at least that's what I observed!" —Anne-Isabelle Bonifassi
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
19. A set of waterproof globe lights that'll look lovely strung around your fire pit or placed across your porch. Treat yourself to late night summertime vibes and get these lights, I promise it'll be a *bright* idea.
Promising review: "We strung these beauties around our backyard fire pit and wow do they look great! Although the fire lights up the night, too, I like having the lights lit around the perimeter of the fire pit patio area. Often times we'll turn them on even when we're not lighting a bonfire, just because they make the backyard look so pretty and inviting." —Michelle Smith
Get a strand from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in six styles and five sizes).
20. A Luli Bebé travel bag sure to have you feeling like a socialite when you use it. This ridiculously luxurious duffel is a diaper bag in disguise — complete with waterproof pockets and a wipeable surface. Plus, there's so much space inside, you'll know you've got everything your family needs in one (chic) spot.
I got this diaper bag without having a kid as an excuse to buy a diaper bag. That's how badly I wanted it. Last year my husband and I spent two weeks road tripping around Iceland. I took this bag with me (and ONLY this bag!) and I was able to fit *everything* I needed for the entire trip. I'm telling you, this bag is made with some sort of Mary Poppins magic. Get it in your life!
Promising review: "This is the bag of my dreams! It is so beautiful and the quality is great. It is so spacious inside and fits all of mine and my baby's needs. The front pouch is secure and easy to get items in and out. Love the material of both the inside and outside, easy to clean! Really, you NEED this bag! Don't hesitate to buy this or any Luli Bebé bag. You won't regret it!" —Hannah E.
Get it on sale from Luli Bebé for $148.85 (originally $229; available in six colors).

22. A genius tofu press that'll efficiently drain tofu to get the perfect texture and taste, mess not included.
BTW locals, TofuBud is a small biz based in San Fransisco!
Promising review: "I was resistant to getting a tofu press. Another kitchen gadget! But this little guy does not disappoint. It saves time and is clean, fast, and easy. I thought I would want something made of wood or metal — but really this is just the thing. It’s cute, rinses out licketty split, and gets the job done without messing up towels or having to boil off extra water. My countertop stays clean. I’ve been a vegetarian all my life and this little gadget is already indispensable." —Maria Lewis
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
23. A Baroque mirror I can hardly believe is actually on Amazon. Get this in your life (at this price!) before everybody finds out our little secret and it's sold out for good!
Promising review: "All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It’s heavy and not cheap looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it’s done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don’t hesitate buying this gem, you need it!" —Celeste C
Get it from Amazon for $105.69+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
24. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp that's easy peasy to put on *and* makes cleaning your toilet simpler than it's ever been! Mostly because, with this, you won't be the one cleaning your toilet.
Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet
Get six stamps from Amazon for $5.19.
25. A machine-washable indoor/outdoor blanket designed as both a lightweight and incredibly cozy cover, for anyone who specifically tells ghost stories around the fire pit with goals to snuggle in the safety of their boo's arms. Ugh, that's very cute of you.

Be sure to check out all the OG puffy blankets Rumpl has to offer! The company is now based in Portland, Oregon.
Promising review: "Such a beautiful blanket, super insulated and will keep you warm. Borderline sweaty when fully wrapped up in it. Give me 1,000 of these blankets because I want so many more. The Yellowstone design is absolutely beautiful." —Nicholas C.
Get it from Rumpl for $125 (available in several styles).
26. A bug remover that'll be a hit anyone who is, ahem, bugged by teeny tiny carcasses on their car.
Promising review: "During late summer and through the fall, we usually are hit with many more bugs than normal. And if I drive, these bugs get stuck on the front bumper and even the back of the outside mirrors. This cleaner made cleaning off the bugs much easier to do than the week before when I was trying to remove bugs from my husband's car with just soap and water. In addition, this left my car shiny, as if it had just been waxed and water beaded on it. The soap and water on my husband's card did not do that. I am certainly well pleased and will be purchasing this again when I have used up the contents of this bottle." —SC Girl
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes).
27. A clip-on polarized sun visor for folks who know there must be a better solution than squinting into the sunset on their way home from work every day. To use: clip the extender onto your existing sun visor and you're gonna get polarized glare-reduction all the live-long day.
Glare Guard is a small business based in Easton, Pennsylvania creating polarized visors for glare-free driving.
Promising review: "This extender is great; I wish I had purchased this years ago. My daily commute to work is due east and the sun is directly in my line of sight. My commute home is just the opposite, due west and the sun is blinding. This extender is not only a great buy, but it also increases the safety of daily driving." —Dyann Curtis
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories.
Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six colors).
29. A clear toy blocker to keep the toys you give your toddler (and pets) from ending up under appliances and juuust out of reach. These are also great if you want to discourage your pets (or toddler) from hiding under furniture!
Promising reviews: "A must-have for ALL pet owners. This contraption is genius and will save cat (and dog) owners insane amounts of time and frustration retrieving toys. We used this beneath our oven and it works PERFECTLY. Cat can't destroy it (the way she shredded the foam insulation we had stuffed under there before) and we no longer have to get the yardstick out when literally all of her toys are 'gone.' Yes, this is a challenge to install, but 100% worth it. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat." —Allison Goldstein
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in three sizes).
30. A quilted chenille floor pillow that'll help if you're in an apartment so small, "furniture" is a word that needs a little wiggle room...because your place has none at all.
31. A retro toaster so dang darling you just might decorate your entire kitchen around it. I support this.
Promising review: "I never could get my old toaster clean, and it was getting sad. I do not like sad toast. This charmer is lovely to look at, and does a great job making toast that is just the right shade of lovely brown. A chart comes with the toaster. I find I needed to set it a little higher to get the toasty goodness I desired. Goes beautifully with my vintage glass dishes. I feel so retro I may need to invest in a frilly apron." —Margaret C.
Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in four colors).
32. A standing weeder with three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing. There's no need to bend down all day while pulling out weeds in your new yard!
This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. The simple lever system is what makes pulling weeds with this so easy!
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
33. And finally, a crepe maker with its own easy-to-use batter spreader. With this nifty tool you'll effortlessly make dessert-for-brunch worthy of a 5-star Yelp review. Pass the whipped cream and caramel sauce?
Promising review: "I LOVE this crepe maker! I love thin lacy french crepes and they turn out perfect every time on this. I have also made pancakes, including attempts at pancake art. It heats up quickly and changes to the desired level quickly as well. The nonstick surface is so easy to clean. Just wipes right off! This is my kitchen favorite and I am 100% satisfied with this purchase." —abc
