1. An "Egguins" egg holder made to help boil, store, and serve eggs with ease. The process is so smooth, you may get so excited that you get ~happy feet~ 🐧.
Promising review: "I love hard-boiled eggs, but it's always been a hassle to ever so gently lower them into a boiling pot of water with a spoon, then scoop them back into the now-wet carton to cool. This solves all those problems. You simply load the eggs in, lower into the boiling pot, pull back out, then store in your fridge. No more extra steps or gingerly lowering eggs into the pot. Plus, they're adorable." —Laura P
Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (also available as bears).

He LOVES these bubbles and seems to love the taste of them, too! I will gladly buy these again and continue letting him feed his bubble-obsession in a tasty way! In addition, when I needed help with my order, Ash was so kind and gave me the help I needed! Highly recommend this shop!" —Elizabeth

Promising reviews: "I would recommend this business 100%. The candy was great and the packaging and stickers are awesome. Thank you, I already ordered more." —alyssa testa
"Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Skittles normally taste alright, but having them freeze-dried really made the flavors POP, and genuinely I feel like they had more flavor than normal Skittles. (Then again, that might just be my head playing it up knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.) Very delicious." —John Blake

CM Originals Co is a small business based in Las Vegas, Nevada that has ornaments, customizable Harley Davidson inserts, and more.

Get it from CM Originals Co on Etsy for $16.14+ (originally $18.99+; available in four piece quantities).
10. A dino nugget pillow perfect for anyone (like me) who is still ordering nuggies at restaurants even when they're in their late 20s. Seriously, I need one of these guys. Maybe if I show up with it at a restaurant, they won't even have to ask what I'm ordering.
Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true! It's the perfect cuddle companion for all the paleontologists-in-training or anyone with an insatiable appetite for comfort.

Promising review: "I bought this for my brother and thought it would be a great desk item for him. It is tiny but has a loud sound when you 'slam' the door! Super funny to make this tiny door look like a huge angry gesture when slamming it! I would recommend this." —gluestick
Get it from Amazon for $9.39.
12. A bicycle-shaped pizza cutter made with *two* blades so you actually cut through the full pizza instead of accidentally ripping half off cause the cutter didn't go all the way through.
Soho Kitchen is a small NYC-based business established in 2015 that specializes in quirky pizza products.

14. Some taco truck taco holders so you don't have to ~beef~ with the world when you watch your perfectly crafted taco tip over after just one bite.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Abby Kass has this and says, "I own these and can truly say they are great. I use them whenever I have taco night, and they hold small shells easily so you can put all the ingredients in *and* set them down so you don't have to finish the taco in one go or risk it all falling apart."
Promising review: "I got these as a gift for my hubby who loves taco night. They are so cute and work well to hold the tacos upright. So much easier and much less messy when we eat with these. They're easy to clean and so far they've held up well to multiple taco nights." —The Blissful Cate

Check it out on TikTok!
Promising review: "I got my partner and I some of these and we LOVE them. She uses one for her pitcher plant because the pot it's currently in drains too quickly. The slow drip makes sure the plant is able to absorb all the water and it has been THRIVING since we started using these. —Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $16.
16. An anti-stress desktop punching bag so you can take out all your rage against Kevin, the office pain-in-the-butt, in a safe and controlled manner that won't end with a trip to HR.
Promising review: "I bought this as a white elephant gift for Christmas in the office. I anticipated it to be thin, flimsy, and cheap. However, it was just the opposite. My coworker has it sectioned to her glass wall and people use it all the time. The section is strong, and the item itself feels very sturdy. I was pleasantly surprised, and it was one of the favorite gifts of the day." —Vicki McClain
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two colors).
17. A bottle of Haeyo Mayo, a blend of shea butter, macadamia seed oil, and egg yolk extract — so yes, basically just mayonnaise for your hair, but don't let that scare you away!! It's designed to help restore your hair's moisture to reduce frizz and smooth split ends. Just be sure to keep this farrrrr away from your kitchen and unsuspecting sandwich makers.
Promising review: "I have dead hair from bleaching it so much and I was a bit skeptical if this would work, but oh my God it makes my hair softer than a corgi's bottom. And it smells really good too. Will definitely restock when I run out!" —hanyouinlove
Get it from Amazon for $16.
18. A flexible flower vase you can bend into any position to set the mood and make it fit your space. You can even make it dangle from a wire frame. It's basically like the year-long version of Elf on the Shelf — take turns hiding it every morning and seeing how long it takes everyone else to find this lil' guy.
Promising review: "An affable, squishy, bendy, happy little vase! The consensus on my social media page is that everyone should have one of these. I finally got a chance to try it out with some daffodils, and really, it's hard not to smile when you see them." —Susy Lundy
Get it from Amazon for $20.90 (available in three colors).
19. A Dracula garlic mincer to add a little ~spice~ to your meal prep gadgets. Just pop a clove or two in the container, press and twist Dracula's head, and reveal your deliciously fresh garlic ready for whatever meal you have planned.
PS: You can also use it for ginger!
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
20. A set of space-saving nesting snail measuring cups with secret measuring spoons inside their little heads. These guys are all you'll need when you're whipping up your famous chocolate chip cookies.

Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in a cherry version).
21. A pickle wine stopper so you can combine two of your fave things without *actually* combining them. I'm no sommelier, but I have to imagine pickle-flavored wine would not be appealing.
22. And a ridiculous yodelling pickle if you wanna have the perfect ammo to irritate anyone and everyone in your life.
23. An interactive dancing cat toy because how can you look at these pictures and not laugh?! I mean seriously, I am going to immediately buy this for my cats in hopes of recreating anything like this. The toy is naturally springy so you barely have to move at all to create the *most* fun your cat has ever had.
Promising review: "I'm a new cat mom. I had seen this product recommended several times on Reddit. It was inexpensive, so I thought I'd try it. Princess loves it! It is one of her favorite toys. It's simple, just some cardboard bits on a wire, but very effective. It mimics the erratic way insects fly around, and she absolutely loves it! So far, it's been pretty durable, unlike some of her other toys. It's 100% recyclable and made sustainably. It's very reasonably priced. I have even bought some to give as Christmas gifts to other cats because it's been such fun! Definitely recommend!" —H.L.
Get it from Amazon for $3.99.
24. A set of cat and mouse hooks designed with double-sided adhesive backs to turn mundane tasks (like putting away your keys) into the cutest thing ever. Once you hang something, your fave lil' buddy will pop out to say hello!
Check them out on TikTok of the cat and mouse hooks in action.
Promising review: "These are so cute and easy to install. My husband always forgets to put his keys away so I got these to try to condition him into hanging them up. Now he has a little friend say hello when he gets home." —leaaffy
Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick).

Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in two versions).
26. A set of Goldfish fridge magnets that'll certainly make you smile back when you see these cuties all over your fridge holding up your precious photos and wedding invites.
Handy Cute Art is a Florida-based Etsy shop that specializes in quirky home products.
Heads up: these might not be the best choice if you have little kids or pets who could mistake them for food.

Get a set of six from Handy Cute Art on Etsy for $10.20 (originally $12).

Check out a TikTok of the snail teabag holder in action.
Promising review: "Love these fun little quirky tea slugs. They work on all shapes and sizes of mugs and have brought a smile to all who either used them or were the lucky recipients of their own batch of tea slugs from me. They clean up well with just a quick rinse under the sink and are even fun to use on wine or cocktail glasses to help guests track their drink." —NC
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $6.99.
29. And a baby Nessie infuser to take your tea-drinking experience to a whole new level. This little guy is ~dino-mite.~
Check out a TikTok of the tea infuser in action.
Just insert your loose-leaf tea into the body and twist the top on, then brew your tea like normal! And it's dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "I'll start by saying that this is so stinking cute! I love it and I mostly bought it for that reason. No shame in admitting that. However, that being said, it works well too! It does not feel cheap and seems to have been made pretty well. It was a great purchase in my book." —Jesica
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
30. A hilarious game of BeanBoozled, which will put your taste buds to the test and you can risk it all — will it be chocolate pudding or canned dog food?
The mash-ups include: stinky socks vs. tutti-fruitti, lawn clippings vs. lime, rotten egg vs. buttered popcorn, toothpaste vs. berry blue, barf vs. peach, canned dog food vs. chocolate pudding, booger vs. juicy pear, moldy cheese vs. caramel corn, baby wipes vs. coconut, and skunk spray vs. licorice.
Promising review: "My daughters love these. Period. Although I think it's quite gross to eat a jelly bean not knowing you're going to get one that tastes like a normal piece of candy or a stinky sock, a rotten egg, and grass. They were absolutely tickled. They sorted the jelly beans by color and then took turns deciding who was going to eat what pair combination hoping to get one of each. I think the other part of the game was seeing who could say 'ewww' the loudest when they bit into the 'wrong' one! They continue to ask for them, so I'll continue to buy them, but I won't be eating them. Fun for the girls and their friends. And it really kept them entertained for a good 30 minutes." —MS MONIQUE
Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in a variety of sizes).
31. Or a jar of "Ass Kickin'" sweet and spicy jelly beans to test your ability to handle heat. Maybe even make a game of it and see who can eat the most at once?! Just be sure to have a glass of milk nearby.
Ass Kickin' is a small business that specializes in spicy candy, popcorn, and sauces.
Promising review: "If you like spicy and sweet you will most definitely like these jelly beans. It didn't take me long to devour the whole jar and will say that I enjoyed every spicy hot bean. I wouldn't say it's like over the top hot but it's a comfortable hot that keeps me eating one after the other." —Bill Reiner
Get them from Amazon for $9.95.
32. An LOL-worthy fruit-shaped cat cap that'll turn your kitty into the cutest apple (or banana, or strawberry, etc!) you ever did see, even if all they want from the moment it touches their head is to get it off.
Promising review: "I would give these 10 stars if I could, but I'm sure Freya would give it a -3. I think she looks like an angelic banana, but she is not amused. I don't believe this causes her physical discomfort, but her self-esteem has plummeted. Long story short, makes your cat look stupid, as planned. LOL." —Amazon Customer
Get one in a random fruit from Amazon for $7.99.
33. A horse-head squirrel feeder perfect for nature watchers who are getting a little bored of seeing the same thing every day. Now when your fave little critter comes running up for a snack, you'll do a double take before realizing you *don't* have a new species running around your yard.
34. A "Liquipen" that is the love child of a pen and a lava lamp, and honestly it's everything you've ever wanted. Now every time you write notes, you can be mesmerized by the enchanting, colorful bubbles.
Promising review: "I broke up the three-pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in stockings for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." —Kindle Customer
Get a set of three from Amazon for $19.99.
35. A shaker of edible cocktail glitter because why would you ever have a normal drink if you could add a little extra razzle dazzle to it and completely upgrade the experience?!
Bakel is a small business established in 2016 that specializes in edible glitters for food and drink.
Promising review: "Don’t think any further and just buy it. This was so cool and everyone loved it! I got the clear one because it will go with any drink. I will be the one to put this in all my friends drinks. Also had no taste so it was just the look. Sooooooo cool!" —gigi
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 17 colors).
36. An organic cat grass growing kit for your kitty who longs to explore the outside world or has a bad habit of chewing on everything in sight. This fiber-rich grass contains a variety of nutrients for your fur baby, including wheat grass, oat, barley, and rye.
This comes with an adorable cat face mug to plant in, seeds, and a soil dish. You can also buy refill kits. Add the soil disk, a splash of water, and a sprinkling of seeds, and watch your new plant grow.
The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo who wanted to create unique, organic products for other passionate cat owners.
Promising reviews: "I went and bought another one so I could rotate them and have a constant source of grass for my cat. Also subscribed for the refills. I can't grow anything so was stunned by how easily this grass grows." —Maryann Wells
"As far as the flavor goes; the kitties seem to find it top notch! Was tall enough after only five days; but we held off for day six to make sure 'little destroyer' didn't pull it out by the roots! The cup opening keeps the shoots tight together unlike some you buy in the pet store. We couldn't be more pleased. We ordered a refill at the same time and plan to order again just to have two cups so my kids don't fight for position. No mold problems if you follow watering directions." —Kathleen M.
Get it from Amazon for $19.94.
37. The Reverse Coloring Book, perfect for anyone who may get a little anxious trying to color in the lines of traditional adult coloring books (🙋♀️). With this version, you create the lines instead of adding the color, which gives you a little more ~creative freedom~ to create beautiful works of art mindlessly.
Each book includes 50 pages of watercolor art for you to add lines, along with suggestions for what to add if you want a jumping off point. Bonus: the pages are perforated so you can easily tear them out and frame them!
Promising review: "Changed my life. So I get anxious doing the adult coloring books. This was so much fun and made me really think outside of the box. I'm not the best at drawing but I felt like I was when I was a kid doodling in my textbooks in school." —Carley C.
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
(Psst — check out these cult-fave black fine point pens for $8.99 on Amazon for a good doodling option!)
