BuzzFeed Staff Facebook Pinterest Link 1. A "This Is Fine" Dog mini build set as the ultimate in desk buddies on days when you and your coworkers are at a full 🫠. Promising review: "5/5 stars! The doggo and the THREE cups of coffee (or tea, depending on what suits you best) represent the needed energy to deal with today's world." —Lance Get it from Amazon for $14.98. 2. Vlasic's Pickle Balls, a flavored puff with a cult following so feral that the last place I'd want to be is in between one of these bags and a fan. If you're a pickle fan, this will be a low-risk, high-reward buy that might just reach your Snack Pantheon, too. Promising review: "These are so good, I have tried nearly everything pickle there is. Including the pickle slush from Sonic. This is my favorite pickle-flavored item. It is actually pickle tasting, and the texture is amazing. The thing about pickle-flavored things I have the biggest problem with is the salt levels. The salt is so overwhelming usually that it almost isn't pickle flavor, or it's just dill flavor, and I personally hate dill, but love dill pickles!" —Brenna H. Get it from Amazon for $1.97. 3. A set of book-shaped sponges, aka what happens when Cinderella and Belle collaborate on your birthday gift. Promising review: "These are super cute and durable! Oh — and they work! I just rotate them out as I throw the dirtiest one in the washing machine and use the next one. They have a softer side and a scrubby side and stay attractive as well as useful. A great addition to my kitchen!" —K. Schiller Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99. 4. A mini inflatable tube guy for your desk to cheer you on (or remind you to take a lil' dance break whenever you overwork yourself). The inflatable tube guy requires a 9V battery, which is not included. Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark Get it from Amazon for $11.66. 5. Just Chilling & Killing, a "cozy adult coloring book" for anyone whose favorite lullaby is the Final Destination soundtrack. This includes 24 pages inspired by your favorite horror movies so you can color your way through bloodbaths and murders galore! Demi's Colouring Corner is a UK-based business run by Demi, a mother of two who loves all things horror and coloring. Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon! Promising review: "This book is a must-have for horror lovers. So many adorable renditions of classic and newer horror movies that are a blast to color. I like the simple style because it allows me to add my own flair and techniques like a lot of the popular 'cozy' coloring books nowadays. I so hope this artist does a second version because I plan to finish every single picture in this book!" —AyemmeJay Get it from Amazon for $12.09. 6. A Froot Loops–inspired rollerball scent you will be CURIOUSLY in love with — as will everyone who gets a sweet, nostalgic whiff of you. A ton of reviewers mention that this sweet, lovely blend of tart lemon, warm toasted wheat, and slight floral notes has gotten them a LOT of compliments! Promising review: "I was craving a Froot Loop scent since I got a wax melt that had similar notes. This. Oil. Is. It. I have close to a hundred sprays and oils that I have curated, and this outperforms most of the ones I have. So many compliments were given today when I wore this, and people were tickled when I told them it was, IN FACT, a Froot Loop scent. I really did not have high expectations for the longevity and projection, but really, truly, this is a beast. I will buy this again and again!" —Audrey Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 7. A "Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier. Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie Get it from Amazon for $14.95. 8. A ridiculously punny "You Crack Me Up" egg seasoning that will make you laugh, even though the way it elevates your breakfast is NO joke. Reviewers love this perfectly balanced blend of savory salt, sharp black pepper, and onion, warm garlic, and delightful celery seed for everything from eggs to quiches to veggies to burgers to hash browns to PIZZA. Promising review: "I’m a sous chef and cook at home for my son as a single father. He loves this. Between the bad dad joke and the fact that this is actually really delicious — absolutely 5 stars." —Brandon Get it from Amazon for $7.49. 9. A magnetic goose key holder for anyone who has been a silly goose about losing their keys one too many times. This lil' guy will keep them safe for you and give all your guests a giggle when they behold him diligently guarding your keys in the doorway. Promising review: "I have this duck placed in my office on my desk because I always misplace my keys. It’s adorable and extremely practical! Also, everyone who visits my office has to comment on how cute it looks. The magnet is quite strong! My keys are heavy as I carry many keys with me, and they always hold them strongly! I definitely recommend this." —EgyMom Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two styles). 10. A donut-flavored Lanolips balm, because regular lip care is overrated — lip care that tastes like dessert is the ANSWER. Reviewers are obsessed with the flavors in Lanolips' line of sugar-inspired balms, but especially love how nourishing, nonsticky, and hydrating they are on their lips. Promising review: "LOVE it! I ordered both the Glazed Donut and the Raspberry Shortcake one, and they smell amazing! The Glazed Donut reminds me more of French toast with the smell, but it is still very pleasant. I like that you don’t need to use a lot of it and that it’s a clear lip balm. For the price, it’s cheaper than Summer Fridays and Glossier, so I will absolutely repurchase this again!" —Theresa Get it from Amazon for $13.50 (available in nine other sugar-inspired flavors). 11. Wikki Stix, the ultimate in mess-free, silent, distracting fidgets — you can take these little wax sticks and push them into any shape you please, and stick them on surfaces without worrying about residue or marks. Parents especially love these for when kids are waiting at restaurants or on flights! Promising review: "Such a fun toy. They're easy to take to play with in a restaurant or while waiting. Very versatile. They can be made into just about anything. A fish, a bracelet, a rocket ship. They can be used many times." —Nicole Hadley Get it from Amazon for $5.50. 12. A reusable silicone cactus dryer ball that pet owners especially love because it catches hair like nobody's business. These lil' desert bubs also help soften fabric, reduce wrinkles, *and* save drying time, so they're putting all the decorative but useless succulents in your home to shame. Check out a TikTok of the cactus dryer ball. Promising review: "This is my first time using these, and I'm already in love! I saw someone say these can catch hair but I didn't know if these would really catch hair until I used them. They even captured cat hair, which is life-changing for me! 😄😻" —E & D Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three other styles). 13. A light up solar frog figurine for your garden or porch so when you come home from that "just one drink" dinner past midnight, this croaky lil' fella can lovingly judge you for it. Promising review: "I love this! It’s well painted, and the solar light works great. It is the cutest thing on my patio table." —solowithpits Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 14. A Godzilla microwave cleaner you can fill with water and vinegar and stick in the microwave. After five minutes, the gunk will be so loose that you can DESTROYYYYYY it all the way this big dude came after Manhattan. Promising review: "Worked fantastically. My wife had doubts about how egregiously dirty and caked-on the gunk in our 15-year-old microwave was (she thought we'd need serious chemicals!), but with only one pass of using this, it got 80% of all the gunk built up. A second pass a few days later got most of the rest!" —Some Hyena Get it from Amazon for $21.95. 15. A little popcorn bucket vase for a fun punch of color that basically DEMANDS you go to Trader Joe's and get the most colorful mini $4 bouquet to put in it, STAT. Ban.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. This vase is so quirky and ADORABLE — every time I see it in my living room, it makes my heart happy. I am on a mission to make my living room space as un-boring as possible, and this may be a small piece, but it's got a BIG personality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun piece of decor! Get it from Amazon for $28.95. 16. A set of cowboy straw toppers to add some much-needed "yeehaw!" into your hydration regimen, and keep your straws safe from germs out here in the wild, bacterial west. Promising review: "So SO CUUUTE! 10/10!! Good product and keeps my straw from getting bugs or germs on it! Plus, it’s really cute." —JennA Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99. 17. A set of emotional support pickles you can keep on hand and carefully give out to friends, family, or coworkers who are ... in a pickle, for lack of a better word. This will remind them that there is always a briney light in the darkness, so they can dill with whatever comes their way! Promising review: "Very satisfied!! The plushies are so cute and fit very nicely in the little basket. It even comes with a card with each of the plushy's names and personalities!!" —Adelyn Dvorak Get a set of six pickles for $16.98 (available in 11 other styles of emotional support snacks and figures). 18. A Lego face mug that will put you in a true "🎵 everything is awesoooooome, everything is fun when you've had your caffeine 🎵" vibe in the morning. Bonus — it's microwave- and dishwasher-safe! Promising review: "Cute and practical. It has held up well and stayed looking good. It gets a lot of use with hot drinks. My hubby loves it. This is a great gift for the Lego love in your life or for yourself!" —M. Ames Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six styles and three sizes). 19. A set of french fry clips that not only will secure your food bags, but rest in their own little magnetic fry pouch that sticks onto the fridge. Just further proof that there is nothing the humble potato cannot do. Promising review: "These are very cute, and I love the magnet holder to stick on my fridge so they are easily accessible. Not sure about the durability, haven't used very long." —Save the Bees Get a set of 12 clips from Amazon for $14.90. 20. A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser to remind you that life is, in fact, too short to skip on your delicious morning cuppa. Promising review: "My best friend loved this for her birthday. She loves Halloween and tea, and this was such a cute and perfect gift." —Harley Nixon Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 21. A dino nugget pillow set that is actually a mandatory purchase for anyone born or raised in the '90s, I don't make the rules. (But I do enforce and eat them.) Promising review: "These are totally silly and surprisingly soft and cozy! I got them for my tween, who thought they were hilarious, and we agree that they're quite huge and quite soft. They are not round, they're more flat like pillows, which is great. They're a good shape and flatness for using as an extra pillow to lean on while sitting in bed, and they're easy to hug and snuggle with because they're wide but flat (not round or barrel-shaped like stuffed animals). Ridiculous dinosaur nugget shapes, lots of fun." —Jess, Mom of 2 Get a set of five from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two other sets and individual pillows). 22. A platypus jar scraping spatula so you can get every!! last!! MORSEL!!! of your peanut butters, Nutellas, and mayos, just as international super spy and legendary hero Perry the Platypus would have wanted. Promising review: "I have had this spatula since 2022. I reach for this one consistently above all of my other spatulas, and also use this instead of a butter knife for spreading. I absolutely love this tool. I have arthritis in one hand from a surgery, and the shape of the platypus also helps with that. It cleans off very easily, and still looks brand-new." —Thomas Norton Get it from Amazon for $14.95. 23. A shaved sheep plushie that is so! darn! FLUFFY!!!! that you will not be able to resist the adorable siren call of zipping its fuzzy little "coat" on and off when your brain needs a cozy vacation. Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." —Aerebys Stare Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 24. A pet cloud because honestly ... some of us were *not* cut out for pet and plant parenthood, and this is our next best bet. This lil' bub does require "a lot of love and attention," plus a 30-minute walk and a steady diet of "tears of joy," but one look at that precious face and you'll be able to swing it. Party People is a UK-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in fun gag gifts and party supplies. Promising review: "This pet cloud is so full of life and energy! As soon as I opened the box he jumped out and gave me a big hug! Might’ve been high IDK." —Owen Get it from Party People on Etsy for $9.86+ (available with or without a gift bag). 25. A set of cookie-shaped barrettes so delightfully realistic that you'll spend every day cosplaying as Cookie Monster's bride. Promising review: "Very cute, fun, and good value for the money. The quality is good and the design is very cute!" —margo Get a set of seven from Amazon for $9.50. 26. A sardine tin cosmetic bag because as sweet as your makeup looks are, the truth is you're always a little salty. Promising review: "Spacious.

A Labubu-shaped candy, chocolate, and ice mold so you can celebrate your love for these sleep demons, I mean adorable companions, by turning them into a little TREAT. This is also a great option for a Labubu-themed cake — it's heat-safe up to 446 degrees F! Promising review: "Legit mold. I was worried, but it really does come out pretty close to the actual Labubu! I wish it had the feet and hands, but the face is perfect!" —Jaime Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 28. A stackable set of sheep toilet roll holders so you're never caught in a baaaaaaaa-d situation without an extra bit of TP to spare. Promising review: "We are in love with these, being huge fans of Shaun the Sheep! We are so happy with this. Built very well, and they look amazing! Super fun! A great price and value!" —Flip Masters Get it from Amazon for $13.49. 29. A unicorn head squirrel feeder because you know what the world needs?? More mildly terrifying TikToks and Instagram stories of hybrid creatures frolicking in your backyard. This is your task. Go forth, my friend. Accoutrements is a small business that specializes in offbeat home and lifestyle products. Promising review: "This is both ridiculous and spectacular. It just might be my best Amazon impulse buy ever." —Meredith Get it from Amazon for $21.75. 30. A chicken zen garden for anyone so stressed-out that they don't give a cluck where their self-care comes from anymore. Promising review: "Got these as a gift for a colleague who is building a chicken coop currently. He (and his kids) love this fun desktop toy!" —G. Reich Get it from Amazon for $32. 31. A Jellycat-inspired coffee mug so precious that you'll shed a tiny tear into your coffee every morning, overwhelmed by its cuteness. Look at those itty bitty legs and that wee happy smile!! Promising review: "This mug is toooo cute! Perfect for your Sunday coffee time. The best thing it is dishwasher safe as well." —Riya Singla Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five styles). 32. A dimmable sad duck night-light because sometimes you just have to look at this emotionally deflated creature on your desk and be like, "Welp. At least I'm doing better than that little dude." Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated Get it from Amazon for $21.99. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
