1. A very appropriate headband if need an extra hand keeping your hair out of your face while slathering your skin with slimes and serums. Now please tell me, is this a snail, slug, or alien headband?
Promising review: "I love this SO MUCH. I embrace my inner snail every time I wash my face. It's soft but not too fluffy and thick. It has a nice stretch, but it's also not too loose where I feel like it's falling. Buy some for you and your snail friends :)" —sam

5. A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick that'll help hydrate and cool your puffy, tired eyes. A very big-brained reviewer recommends sticking it in the freezer before you use it so it's extra chilly.
Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes, and this has really changed that for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
6. An octopus-shaped blackhead remover for exfoliating your skin while pulling out whiteheads, blackheads, and other pore-clogging yuckies.
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
7. A sad duck night-light if you could use a late-night study buddy, movie-watching companion, or a friend with whom you can commiserate after a rough day.
Promising review: "Like a lot of us, this duck is just doing the best they can. They look a bit sad and forlorn but yet they’re a literal bright spot in your day. I work from home and I don’t typically like a lot of lights on when I’m working but this little friend gives off just enough light to make my day a little more cheerful and I haven’t bitten anyone since I started using it as a little desk lamp. It’s has also come in quite handy when I’ve lost power during a few summer storms. It’s not bright enough to read with but it is good at banishing the creepy things that live under your bed. It seems to hold a charge for a good amount of time and it charges easily on my laptop while I’m working. I didn’t have many expectations for this little light but it’s cute and useful and I am considering buying a few more." —Rebecca Swanson
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
8. A pair of cat paw oven mitts to protect your hands from any ~cat-tastrophes~ in the kitchen involving hot bakeware.
9. A vampire-shaped garlic press so your hands don't reek for the next three days. Just twist the Count's head to crush the garlic — easy peasy garlic squeezy. Be careful not to have too much fun with this or you'll end up crushing more garlic than you need...which is not a bad problem to have tbh.
This little bloodsucker is 100% food-safe, BPA-free, and dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "It's so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher-safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece, so no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily; it is honestly a game changer for my cooking game!" —Llamazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
12. A set of french fry clips for a ~spud-tacular~ and eco-friendly alternative to the tape you're currently using (and that — ugh! — always comes unstuck). They come in a hilarious little magnetic fry carton, so just grab one any time you need a chip clip.

Promising review: "Bigger than I expected, but I'm definitely pleased! Super cute, and the dinosaur fossil outline painted on the earrings is crisp and clean looking, not smudged, which I was a little worried about. They are extremely lightweight and easy to wear for a long time. Great quality, and I'll probably end up ordering another pair to gift to a friend. LOVE." —Jacqueline Ryan

Promising review: "Literally so perfect, very soft and comfortable, the colors are very vibrant and beautiful. If I start moving around my house doing chores, it does get a little warm, but I run warm most of the time and keep my house super cold, so it's not an issue at all!!

My 7-year-old loves it, as do I. It only took us a couple of turns to figure it out. I highly recommend it. Adults should have fun with it, too. Might I recommend a couple of shot glasses to go along with it?" —Jerry Rice
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
20. A cactus cat scratcher to ~prickle~ your cat's fancy and convince them to give *it* a scratch (and not your couch legs).
Promising review: "I'm absolutely delighted with the cactus tree cat scratch post I recently purchased! Not only does it add a fun and quirky touch to my home decor, but it's also a huge hit with my cats. They absolutely love it! There are several scratching posts to provide plenty of space for them to satisfy their natural scratching instincts, saving my furniture from their claws. The cactus design is not only adorable but also sturdy and well-built, ensuring it can withstand even the most enthusiastic scratching sessions. Plus, the added dangling toys provide extra entertainment for my furry friends.

28. A kinda gross but super helpful "Shower Cat" because you slap your shed hair on the shower wall (it me!) and then inevitably forget to throw it away, much to the chagrin of your housemates. Let the Shower Cat's soft "teeth" grab your strands before it starts a colony in your shower drain.
Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.
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.
29. And speaking of aquatic creatures (water bears!) a pair of tardigrade slippers that'll keep your toes warm and also probably earn you a few funny looks.
Reviewers say they fit up to a women's size 10.
Promising review: "They are absolutely perfect!! They are squishy and comfy. It's like walking on pillows(which I love). If you were looking for firmer support, these aren't good for you. However, if you like the squishy, you'll be a happy camper. They are also super adorable and exactly like the picture. They are made from really soft material. They are definitely very fluffy. The only other thing that might bother some is that they do make a noise when you walk." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $29.99.
