    20 Mini-Sized Products That’ll Make You Wanna Ditch The Full-Sized Version

    Bigger isn't always better.

    1. An ultrasonic humidifier shaped like a lightbulb that's about the size of your palm, so it's easier to move around the house than larger humidifiers. It'll run for about six hours before it needs refilling, and it comes with decorations for you to create a little landscape inside of it.

    2. Or a portable essential oil diffuser that's smaller than a smartphone and also easily portable. It has two light modes, two mist modes, and will automatically shut off when the tank is empty, so you don't have to worry about it overheating.

    3. A lightbox that'll help you decorate your space with sassy phrases or words of encouragement. It's about the size of a piece of A5 paper, so it won't take up as much space as bigger lightboxes. You can choose how you want your sign to be lit — either with a classic white, one of the colours of the rainbow, or a rotation of all of the colours.

    4. A Magic 8 ball that'll help you answer the questions to life's most burning questions. It's less than 4 cm tall, so you can toss it in your pocket or bag for decision-making help when you're on the go. Just give it a shake and it'll let you know if your crush likes you back or not (I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!).

    5. A retro-style handheld Tetris game that'll take you back to the days of playing arcade games at the mall. It'll give you the arcade experience from the comfort of your couch, without actually having a full-sized machine at home.

    6. A teeny waffle maker that has over 33,000 five-star reviews. It creates waffles that are smaller than your palm (the perfect size when you need a little snack), and the machine itself takes up much less space than a giant Belgian waffle maker.

    7. A set of five adorable kitchen utensils that are each 20 cm long and made of durable silicone. They're great for junior chefs who are learning their way around the kitchen or for people with limited storage space.

    8. A toaster oven that'll save precious space on your counter. Unlike the clunkier versions, this one can easily be tucked away into a drawer or cabinet. It comes with a toasting tray, a rack, and has a removable crumb tray for easy cleaning.

    9. A percolator and travel mug that’ll replace that bulky coffee machine you have, since this one is only 25 cm tall. Just slide the mug into the brewing base, open the top of the percolator, add your grounds and water, and bam! Easy coffee to go, just like that.

    10. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker that's small enough to slip into your pocket and has over 7,000 five-star reviews. It has a powerful bass that you might not expect from something so tiny, and reviewers say the small size makes it great to take on hikes and trips.

    11. A set of ballpoint pens that'll add some colour to your agenda or journal. They're about half the size of regular pens, so they'll free up some space in your pencil case.

    12. A set of pill-shaped fluorescent highlighters you can use to mark passaged in your textbooks, or important events in your calendar. They're smaller than your pinky finger and have sassy lil' faces that are sure to make you smile, unlike their plain full-sized counterpart.

    13. A battery-powered vacuum that’ll fit right in your hand. It'll pick up all of the dirt and crumbs scattered over your work station, and it's more convenient than busting out the full vacuum to deal with little messes. When you're done, just pop it open and throw the debris into your garbage can.

    14. A portable book light that's small enough to fit in your pocket. It’ll keep your page illuminated during late-night reading sessions and can be swivelled and bent in any direction. Best of all, you won't have to get out of bed while you're all snuggly and warm to turn off an overhead light.

    15. A dozen LED lights that'll help you to not stub your toes when you get up in the middle of the night. Each light is about the size of an egg and transitions through the colours of the rainbow. Since they don't need to be plugged in like nightlights and lamps, you can easily move them around the house, like setting them up for a little date night ambience.

    16. A Fujifilm Instax Mini instant camera that's slightly larger than your hand. It's more compact than the original Fujifilm camera, which makes it easier to carry around and snap fun moments. It'll automatically adjust to the correct exposure and it has a little mirror that'll help you take the perfect selfie.

    17. A duo of makeup brushes that are half the size of regular makeup brushes, which makes them easy to throw in your bag for touchups on the go. The tapered brush can be used to swipe on powders while the flat brush will help you apply liquid and cream products evenly and without caking.

    18. A hair straigtener that’s roughly the size of your hand, which will save precious real estate space in your bathroom. The ceramic-coated plates will quickly heat up to 200°C, so you can get to styling in no time.

    19. A teeny-tiny fridge that's small enough to move around your apartment, but big enough to store six cans of soda. You can use it to keep your holy grail skin products chilled, which can help preserve ingredients like probiotics and keep them effective for longer. It can also be switched from cool to warm, so you can heat up handtowels or pillowcases when you want to feel extra snuggly.

    20. And lastly, a vibrating massager made of medical-grade silicone. It's smaller than the palm of your hand, which makes it easy to pop in your bag to take the fun with you, unlike full-sized wands that can be bulky. It has ten vibration modes that'll tickle your sweet spot and give you toe-curling orgasms.
