1. A 44-piece Mjölnir toolbox for the person who *literally* fixes everything on their own — if you're *also* a Marvel fan you will have an absolute ball reaching for Thor's mighty hammer the next time you put together a dresser.
Promising reviews: "We bought this for my husband for Father's Day and it was a huge hit. We are a Marvel-loving household so it fit right in. My husband is a contractor so he has all the tools but it is perfect to have in the house when I ask him to hang a shelf, a picture, or whatever. It has lots of handy tools inside, my husband was impressed with the quality of each tool and the variety. Plus he feels cool holding Thor's hammer, haha." —Monica Aldrich
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in two styles).
2. A Dracula garlic mincer that'll make even the most serious of chefs let out an audible giggle.
Promising review: "I gifted this to my roommate and we both love it. We love garlic so we use it almost every day! It is easy to use and effortless, taking the crushed garlic was a pain at first but now we just use a small spoon to scrape it out. Cleaning is super easy by hand but most of the time we put it in the dishwasher to keep it from smelling garlicky. Everyone loves it! Highly recommend!" —Danny
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
3. A set of anti-slip glasses holders you can count on to *literally* support you throughout your entire day – you won't find yourself making that infamously nerdy "pushing-up-my-glasses-because-they're-sliding-down-my-face" move anytime soon.
Anchor Glasses Straps is a small business!
Promising review: "I love this product. I had grown weary with my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." —Danyell Brazell
Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $8.99 (available in black or a multicolor pack).
4. A rechargeable electric lighter for anyone who still stands by the opinion the original Game Boy was the greatest console of all time — oh, and also finds themselves in need of a lighter. "I choose you!" — the '90s kid version of you to Pikachu and the current you to this gadget.
Promising review: "Love this lighter. It has some weight to it, so it feels like a real lighter. It makes a nice click sound when you open and shut it, and is easy to charge with the included cable. The blue lights on the side that show the battery level are neat, and the fact that it looks like a tiny Game Boy is awesome." —Shadowgypsy
Get it from Amazon for $24.88 (available in three styles).
5. Or a Nintendo-themed teether you can count on to make both babies and proud gamer parents happy — they're easily shaped for tykes to hold onto and will look oh-so-silly in photos.
My son had the Link teether and we absolutely adored it! Additionally, Bumkins is a small business.
Promising review: "I was so excited to get this in the mail. It's perfect sized for my 3-month-old, she absolutely loves it! It's very easy to clean, and it's so cute. Her father and I are huge nerds so I was so excited to find a toy for her age that fit our nerdiness. I love it, and I highly recommend this product!" —Hollie Chevelle Monaco
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in four Nintendo styles).
6. A geode-breaking activity from National Geographic that'll give you and your kids an excuse to pick up a hammer and smash rocks in half. The best part? The cracked-open rocks will reveal stunning crystal centers you can learn about together.
This science kit includes 10 natural crystal-filled geodes, one pair of safety goggles, three display stands and one learning guide.
Promising review: "My daughter is 10 and this kept her busy for HOURS! She had so much fun and was excited every time she got a glimpse of what might be inside. A couple of them were pretty cool, while the rest were just white. She didn't care, she loves them all. She was so proud to gift them to her grandparents." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes).
7. A wine and beer bottle opener Morticia Addams would *die* for — leave it on display in your bar cart and break it out when you're looking to impress any fellow spooky season fans.
8. A 1,000-piece Mystic Maze puzzle, perfect for helping you unwind after a day filled with unpleasantries. There are over 50 hidden Easter eggs in this journey of an activity (including a hidden twist at the end!) that'll delight and amaze anyone who works on it.
You can check out a TikTok of a Mystic Maze puzzle in action (but warning, it will spoil the surprise!).
Promising review: "10/10 recommend this puzzle! So fun and kept you entertained the whole time. Perfect gift for someone who loves puzzles and wants a fun experience. Pieces were great quality and the art is great. Each time I look at the puzzle I find something new. Can’t say enough good things about this. Hope they continue to make more!" —Mary B. Owczarski
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
If you love working on this one, there are MANY more versions you can order next!
9. A windshield cover to keep your car cool when it's parked in the sun all day and provide you with an excuse to shout "KA-CHOW!" when you walk up to it.
Promising review: "I've had this for about four years now. It's still holding up well, I have a red car so the Cars reference is fun. Does a good job of keeping the car temp down. It's not going to be cold or anything, but it's a very noticeable difference." —Everett Logan
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
10. A thin bar light to brighten your gaming area so you can happily continue to play hours and hours (AND HOURS) of World of Warcraft without your partner asking, "are you still sitting in the dark?"
Promising review: "It's a good option for a streamer that has an overhead camera that shows off their custom keyboard, gaming mouse, or artisan desk mat. Highly recommended, and for the price, it's worth every dollar you spend." —MarkusTechCorner
Get it from Amazon for $109+ (available in two styles).
11. A Bluetooth speaker with an adorable '90s feel to it you can program with fun pixelated messages, a clock, and animations galore! This lil' gadget has RGB-backlit buttons and, of course, has the ability to play music and podcasts.
Check out an unboxing TikTok from @thatkawaiigrl!
BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes loves hers! You can read more on why it's one of her favorite pieces of desk decor here.
Promising reviews: "I actually impulsively purchased this because I saw it on TikTok. I have had it for a little over a month now, and it is actually the best item I have purchased in a while. I admit, there is a slight learning curve when setting it up because there is not a clear-cut instructions guide for all of the features, but once you figure it out, it’s so worth it. It is really multifunctional and you can customize it to your liking. I really love the mini games feature on here, like Tetris and Snake, because they all bring back childhood memories for me. My favorite part is the fact that it works as a speaker and when I play music, I can have little videos sync to the music. Who knew a tiny little speaker could bring me so much joy. It is a bit pricy though, but it is just so cute. If you’re looking for a sign to buy this, here’s your sign." —Khuyen Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $99.90 (available in six colors).
12. Or a super cool gadget called Tidbyt you can customize with apps of your choosing (think train times, weather, calendar, etc) to display all you need to know at any given time.
Tidbyt (which was created by a small business of the same name) is sort of a clock display but does so much more than that. There's a ton of applications users can plug into the gadget to customize it to their liking. Current practical app options include weather, clock, stocks, news, and sports scores. However, the fun *really* starts when they start to dive into the "just for fun" applications like "Burger of the Day," "Who's That Pokémon?" "Nyan Cat," and "Super Mario Kart." They can even pre-schedule the apps to appear at specific times. You're going to blow any techie away with this one-of-a-kind gift.
Promising review: "I enjoy having this even more than I thought I would. I have currently: three clocks, live day/night time zone map, Doppler radara, Spotify now playing, most recent MegaMillions numbers, live near Earth objects, and some photos. Love it!" —Jade O.
Get it from Tidbyt for $199 (available in two colors).
13. A Loungefly backpack featuring Squirtle, Piplup, and Sobble AKA the cutest little water type friends — take 'em along with you on your travels as well as your wallet, keys, a tablet, and whatever else you may need as a Pokémon Master.
If you look close enough you might even spy Psyduck and some other aquatic pals. 😉
Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! Super adorable, well made, and I absolutely love the little bubble pockets on the front!! I get so many compliments with this bag!! Definitely a must have for Pokémon fans!!" —NursePosh
Get it from BoxLunch for $63.92 (originally $79.90).
14. A Baby Yoda night-light that, for lack of a better term, can become your *guiding light* as you make your way through the hallway in the middle of the night when you'll inevitably have to pee.
I am admittedly obsessed with "The Child" and can't get enough of him — that includes letting him reign over my bathroom at night in the form of the night-light.
Promising review: "So cute and I love that it turns on when it senses it is dark. Would also make a cute gift! Could be brighter, but it is perfect for what I was looking for and adds fun to my home." —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
15. A Dungeons & Dragons throw blanket for anyone who is still wishing and hoping they'll roll a natural 20 during their next campaign, but until then will happily settle snuggle under one instead.
Promising review: "Got for a friend for Christmas and he LOVES it. He keeps it in his car since he works a lot and gets cold on his lunches. He loves showing off his little nerdy flair and he tells everyone that it is his favorite blanket ever. Well worth seeing his smile" —Angellyssa Chandler
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
16. An adorable WALL-E planter that will show off your love for the film without overdoing it — a subtle Disney Adult vibe, if you will. Fear not — the plant is fake, so you can't kill it.
Silver Buffalo is a small business!
Promising review: "This is so cuuuute!" —Sofia sixx
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 12 Disney styles).
17. A Lego flower bouquet you'll enjoy assembling and appreciate much more than a vase filled with living florals that will, sadly, die in a few days. "Life in plastic, it's fantastic!" —these flowers.
Check out this viral Lego flower bouquet in this TikTok from @shaelorend.
The bouquet includes 15 stems with a mix of flower and leaf varieties, including roses, snapdragons, and poppies, and it uses elements made from plant-based plastic.
Promising review: "Buy this for anyone in your life who loves gardening and you are guaranteed to see their face light up when they open it up. Got it for my mom on her birthday and she thought it was the coolest gift ever." —Greg
Get it from Amazon for $47.99.
18. Super Mario Bros—inspired fridge magnets that'll bring a nerdy vibe to your kitchen while also ensuring you don't lose that important $20 check your grandma recently mailed you or the reminder that you're due for a cleaning at the dentist.
Promising review: "Looks great my fridge is now a living video game. The magnets could be slightly stronger but you really only notice that when you use paper that is probably to thick to start with." —Daniel Testa
Get them from Amazon for $27.99.
19. A set of LED lightsaber chopsticks you're going to need to order two sets of so you can share 'em with the Chewbacca to your Han Solo (AKA whoever happens to be who you get sushi with every Friday night).
Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T. Redwood
Get two pairs from Amazon for $11.97.
20. A very practical Sailor Moon eyeshadow palette for anyone who has been singing "fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight" since they first heard the theme song back in the '90s. It features a variety of matte, metallic, and foiled colors and the most darling packaging you'll ever own.
21. A splurge-worthy Nintendo Switch Lite Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bundle — it comes in two spring-friendly colors that each feature a fun design from the fan favorite game. If you've been debating on treating yourself to a new gaming system, consider this a sign to go ahead and do it!
This adorable version of the Nintendo Switch Lite comes with a full download of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I started playing the game during the pandemic in 2020 (as did most cozy gamers in my world) and still love diving in from time to time. It's such a soothing game — super low stress and, honestly, adorable. For example, the soothing sound of ocean waves while virtually fishing always provides me with a much-needed, too-cute escape from reality.
You can learn about the differences between a Nintendo Switch and a Nintendo Switch Lite before deciding which device is right for you!
Promising review: "Always been a fan of the Switch Lite but having a bundle and special design is great. Such a cute design and fits perfectly with the Animal Crossing theme. Very easy to download the free game as long as you already have an account." —Chelssnicolee
Get the pink Isabelle's Aloha Edition from Target for $199.99 or the teal Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition from Walmart for $199.99.
22. A floating pasta timer named "Al Dente" (hehehe) you'll giggle about every time you break him out — toss him into your pot of boiling water when you add your pasta and wait for him to sing a little tune at 3, 7, 9, and 11 minutes. You'll have perfectly cooked pasta every single time. 🍝
The three-minute song ("That's Amore") is great for angel hair, the five-minute song ("Tarantella Napoletana") is great for spaghetti, the seven-minute song (the Godfather theme) is great for tagliatelle and more, and the 11-minute song ("Prisoner's Choir") is great for fusilli and more.
Promising review: "I loved Al so much, I sent one to each of my sisters. Not only is he whimsical, he’s fairly accurate. I’m making excuses to make pasta just so I can hear the tunes." —imlms
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
23. A Monsters University cap inspired by the one young Mike Wazowski wears in the movie — apologies to your actual alma mater because this is likely the only one you'll be claiming as your own from here on out.
I actually have this hat and have owned it for years! I originally bought it in Walt Disney World, but it's become one of my favorite Disney items over the years. I typically wear it to the beach or when running errands. It has an adjustable back, so it'll fit anyone and everyone, but not a Velcro one so it's not as noticeable. Big fan!
Promising review: "My sister spent a pretty penny on her exact hat at Disneyland. I purchased mine here and it’s identical! She actually wishes she would have known to purchase this item here instead of the 30 extra dollars there. Comfortable, sturdy, I always get compliments." —Destiny
Get it from Amazon for $21.76.
24. A glasses holder you can use to keep your readers in place instead of dumping them into your desk drawer — it'll also serve as a conversation piece to help fight off those awkward waiting-for-the-virtual-meeting-to-start silences (for anyone working in an office, of course).
Promising review: "Granddaughter gifted this item to her teacher. Teacher absolutely loved it! Teacher said, 'Now I have an extra set of eyes to watch all of you!' This product is now the class pet. The entire class loves it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in seven animal styles).
25. World of Warcraft–themed playing cards, so even when you're taking a screen break to indulge in an intense game of Go Fish you can still proudly show off your favorite franchise.
if WoW isn't your thing, check out all of the other popular themed decks Bicycle has to offer.
Promising review: "Grandson is very hard to buy for, but he loved these. He immediately opened the box and was stunned by the amazing graphics. —grandma
Get them from Amazon for $9.53+ (available in three styles).
26. And a plant-shaped Nintendo Switch charging station that looks like it jumped right out of a Mario Bros. game — you can charge your controllers in the "leaves," dock your actual Switch in the "stem" and store your favorite game cartridges in the "soil." This is not a want...it's a NEED!
This product popped up on my TikTok FYP and I am obsessed — I quickly shared it with every other video game nerd I know and we're all in agreement that it is simply genius. It can charge up to four joy-cons and store 10 games while also serving as a quirky piece of home decor. So fun. Additionally, 3D Gift Design is a small business that makes a variety of fun 3D printed items.
Promising review: "So cool looking! My partner loves displaying her games and this is perfect for that and for charging her switch! Great quality and easy to assemble" —Maddywalsh14
Get it from 3D Gift Design on Etsy for $41.39 (originally $63.68+; available in a green, brown, or customizable pot color).
