1. A retro-inspired checkered shower curtain because if you have to deal with one of these, it might as well be cute. The HD-printed design won't fade and will liven up your otherwise dreary bathroom (no offense to your landlord).
Many reviewers like to pair it with a liner!
Promising review: "Beautiful print, colors are a great match to the pictures shared, and the material is pretty standard. Love the look and size of it!" —Rebecca D
Psst — you can snag that Peachy Clean rug on Amazon too!
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in three other patterns).
2. A silly Bluetooth speaker shaped like a massive AirPod sure to make everyone laugh at the next hang. And it's more than a novelty product: Reviewers say the sound quality is surprisingly good.
The Bluetooth speaker has a built-in FM radio and microphone for calls. It charges with USB and offers a 30-foot range.
Promising reviews: "I use this at least once a week on remote meetings and everyone loves it as a joke. It’s not good at much more than a visual joke, but I consider that for me. Love it." —les campbell
"Got this for my son for Christmas, and he loves it. It’s loud, and sound quality is pretty good." —Nayy lashuan
Get it from Amazon for $55.18.
3. A Kitsch satin pillowcase that'll be gentle on your hair, leave fewer creases in your face (huge win for side and stomach sleepers), and just feel nice and cool on your skin. It also comes in a ton of pretty patterns. Beauty sleep is a real thing, people!
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" —Amazon Customer 🌷
Get it from Amazon for $15.19+ (available in sizes standard/queen and king and 14 styles).
4. A Tonymoly octopus-shaped blackhead remover designed to exfoliate and gently scrub away excess sebum. Rub this dead sea salt-infused formula all over your face to loosen up blackheads and other skin impurities, leaving your skin feeling sparkly and fresh.
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 $10.
5. A 16-piece Brink House mix-and-match cutlery set that is certainly a lot more fun than your usual Ikea fare. I suggest getting a clear utensil holder to show them off.
The set includes four forks, knives, tablespoons, and teaspoons — all are dishwasher-safe.
Promising reviews: "I love love love these! The colors are awesome. They are sturdy. And they look great on the countertop." —Alice A. Holt
"I love the way these look in the drawer. After several runs through the dishwasher, they’re still bright and new looking." —Stuff Buyer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in nine other styles).
6. An absolutely adorable cloud rug designed for nurseries but it could also work in, well, any room at all. I used to have this rug and can confirm it's plush, high quality, and beautifully vibrant.
I'm a huge cloud print fan, so I had to buy this rug, especially at the low price point. It comes in circular and runner shapes, but I opted for the standard rectangular shape. It arrived exactly as pictured! I love how the clouds are clearly defined and the blue really pops. Just keep in mind that white carpets are notoriously hard to clean; I vacuumed it every day but it was no match for my black-haired dog.
Promising review: "I can’t get over how beautiful this rug is!!! Thick, lays well, and the blue color is very accurate in person. Our baby girl will love this for years to come! Highly recommend. :)" —Diana
Get it from Wayfair for $79.99+ (available in three sizes).
7. A fridge-shaped odor absorber — because how nice would it be for your fridge to have a little friend? Just fill this smiley guy up with baking soda and let him start soaking up bad smells. It's refillable and an eco-friendly option for poeple who like to buy their baking soda in bulk.
Promising review: "Super cute and it does make a difference capturing odors! The great thing is once you have to change the baking soda, you can use that to clean and just refill with new baking soda." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
8. Tiny topiary placecard holders for your next garden- (or Edward Scissorhands-) themed party. These are so outrageously cute and sure to garner so many compliments, that it would honestly be foolish *not* to invest in some.
Chefanie was founded by the New York-based culinary influencer Stephanie Nass.
Get a pack of four from Chefanie for $36.
9. A Scottie dog fur brush that'll help you scrape up loose hair from your carpet, furniture, and well, every inch of your home. The dishwasher-safe comb even has a sharp tail to help you get into tight nooks and crannies. How doggone helpful is that?
Promising review: "I have three cats and two dogs. Needless to say, we have a lot of pet hair everywhere. Our very light-colored couch constantly looks dirty from all of the hair bunched up on it. This little tool comes in with one sweep and removed it. I'm using this thing on everything now. It's a miracle worker." —Paul and Laura
Get it from Amazon for $4.95.
10. A pack of sloth chip clips for people looking to take their time with their snacks. The spring-loaded bag sealers are easy for even small hands to use, so your little one can keep their Goldfish fresh.
Promising review: "Love these little guys. They come in two handy sizes and are an adorable way to keep cereal or chip bags closed." —P. Reichwald
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.89.
11. Tissues in cylinder boxes so they can easily fit in your car's cup holder. And even if you don't have a cup holder in need of tissues, the packaging is just really stinkin' cute.
12. A pair of toast tongs if you've been burned in the past. The wooden tongs can help you nab hot items from the toaster or waffle iron without scorching your delicate digits. It also doubles as an adorable appetizer server. Cheese cubes will definitely taste better after being grabbed by a pair of wooden bunny ears.
Promising review: "These are the cutest toast tongs! They are nicely crafted and the long-eared bunny design is adorable. Perfect tongs for my toaster and waffle iron. It stands by itself as a little, functional piece of art, and won't get lost in the utensil drawer like my old boring tongs. The packaging is also nice and makes this really giftable, so I'll be ordering more as gifts for sure." —Tuzi
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
13. A flower cat tree so your favorite feline friends can have a place to hang and scratch that's not your poor, worn couch. This 22-inch tree is water resistant and designed for smaller cats.
14. A USB-C charging cube that looks like Susan Kare's smiling macintosh that yep, lights up when it's plugged in. You probably already have a charger, but is it this cute???
I love, love, love this little charger! It charges my phone unbelievably fast — sometimes I'll plug my phone in just while I'm going through my nightly routine and the battery will be 20% fuller by the time I'm done. It lights up when connected to a device and then turns off automatically about two minutes after being disconnected. The screen changes colors depending on what type of charge it's providing (green for super, blue for fast, yellow for normal, and white for none); I'm not 100% sure what effects the charge speed, but I always get the blue light when I charge my iPhone 12. You need to supply your own cord, but I have a million of those anyway. I definitely recommend as a gift for retro design lovers!
Promising review: "So glad I got this! It changes color whenever you charge and the battery charging performance is up to par with a standard Apple charger. Its design is super adorable." —Grace B.
Get it from Amazon for $19.90.
15. A mystical wireless phone charger for anyone who prefers fantasy over the sci-fi reality we live in. The Qi-certified device has an animated, light-up magic circle design so you can feel like a real tech wizard.
Magic = unexplained science! This spell circle works with iPhones 11 and up, and Samsung Galaxys S8 and up.
Promising review "Product works great, looks cool, gives my nightstand a bit of magical flair without being so ostentatious that it keeps me up at night unlike some other magic circle chargers. AFAIK the runes mean nothing, the only word I can make out along the outer circle is futharc, which is the name of the Norse rune alphabet and is comprised of the first six letters of said alphabet. Most likely the rest of the letters are merely the rest of the alphabet in sequence, the literal rune equivalent of 'ABCDEFG' and so on. Overall, a good find. I am satisfied." —Kevin
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors).
16. A pair of cactus dryer balls that are obviously way cuter than regular dryer sheets — and that's not all! They're designed to fluff up laundry and cut down on drying time, *and* they do it without waste or leaving a gross residue on your clothes.
Check out even more dryer ball options.
Promising review: "Love these little guys! I don’t use them with delicate items, but for most everything else they work so well to fluff up clothes and ensure that everything gets dry (especially when you tend to overload your dryer like me). Such a fun, cute design too! I can’t help but smile when I toss them in the dryer. I kept one and gave the other to my daughter, who also loves them. Great Christmas stocking stuffer!" —janetjw
Get two from Amazon for $13.99.
17. A buildable Electric Glow Stick lipstick offering a glittery punch of pink to your lips or cheeks. As the packaging suggests, it smells like candy watermelon — that alone is enough reason for me to buy it, honestly.
Check out a TikTok of the Electric Glow lipstick in action.
Promising review: "It finally occurred to me that the scent is like watermelon Jolly Rancher candy! It smells so good! But of course, the color is what really impressed me. I am very fair skinned and it provides that perfect pop of color without being full-on lipstick." —Deirdre
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
18. A Capri Blue Volcano candle that's commonly burned in Anthropologie stores. Now your home can smell just as nice and you don't have to worry about accidentally spending $150 on new clothes.
If you're struggling to remember the Anthro smell, it's similar to tropical fruits and sugared citrus. The candle can burn up to 40 hours, but if you want to extend that time, try a candle warmer.
Promising review: "I’ve been using this scent for my house for YEARS. I fell in love with this clean crisp scent so much I even went as far as ordering diffusers from Pura because they are the only brand I know that offers a diffuser with this scent! It is absolutely captivating yet light and fresh! I always have this candle on hand!" —Alice
Get it from Amazon for $22.
19. A very helpful flamingo ready to warm your candles, sans fire. Besides just being outlandishly silly and cute, it'll let you enjoy your favorite candles for longer without burning them. Plus, you don't have to worry about having an open flame in the house.
There are three brightness levels and 10 timer settings to choose from.
Promising review: "I really recommend this for anybody who enjoys candles. It is infinitely better than burning them and the longevity of a candle is insane. I can warm the same candle all week without using napkins to absorb the wax and it still fills my room with the scent. I've been cycling through about four candles and I haven't had to take any wax out of a single one to get more scent out (I use Bath & Body Works candles). Also, of course, the design is cute. It brings a little bit of fun to my desk. The timer works well and has not failed me. I like to keep it at normal strength (out of gentle/normal/strong) and for the max timer amount (two hours)." —Amelia
Get it from Amazon for $55.99.
20. Pastel highlighters for neutral-shade lovers who would never allow such garish neon colors into their notebook. These subdued, water-based shades dry quickly and offer a more subtle approach to note-taking.
Promising review: "I am absolutely in love!! The shape of the highlighter itself makes it so easily glide over the paper. Super smooth. The colors are sooooo beautiful! It’s not often where what you see is truly what you get. I am very satisfied :)" —Sung Han
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $7.45 (available in two color combinations).
21. A set of card-shaped sponges for anyone who's not playing when it comes to clean dishes. Each design features a face card also engaging in a light cleaning session — too cute!
Promising review: "I thought this product was so cute and unique, I had to purchase it for my mom. I don't think they are really made for serious cleaning — just occasional cup or spoon cleaning — but they are SO adorable and fun." —AllieClaire
Get a set of four from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in sushi, sloths, birds, and breakfast food).
22. A set of LED lightsaber chopsticks to make fights over the last dumpling extra dramatic. They can change colors (red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor) so you can either make them match or change to red and blue to recreate The Duel on Cloud City.
Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger that I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
23. A ceramic diffuser shaped like a cute animal enjoying a nice soak. How relaxing! Just apply five or six drops of your favorite essential oil and it'll passively diffuse over time.
There's no fan, so this is best used in small spaces. If you need some essential oils, pick up this highly rated set ($19.98)!
Promising review: "It's the perfect size for personal use. Because there are sensitive noses in my office, this is great for my desk. Love that I can diffuse oils for my personal consumption." —Patricia Ornellas
Get it from Amazon for $15.75 (available in four animals).
