BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jonathan Mazzei says, "My girlfriend got me this book as a gift a few years ago, and it turned out to be even better than I expected! The prompts are super fun, and help you to think outside of the box even during those moments when you feel like you have no ideas. It's great to casually doodle in while passing time since you don't have to think of what to draw, but it also can be really helpful when brainstorming for creative projects. My girlfriend is a visual artist and graphic designer, and she loves using it to play around with ideas and make her think of things she never would have thought of without it. Plus, it's small and super portable! Highly recommend!"

Promising review: "Saw it one day when I was just browsing. That’s usually dangerous, I know. It’s actually heavier than I thought it would be, in a good way though. It’s not cheaply made. I’ve gotten a few laughs from people in other vehicles. The only side effect is if you get upset at other drivers, it isn’t very intimidating when you’re giving the mad stare. LOL. I was pleased with the purchase in all." —Charles Ramsey

Promising review: "This is so cute. I'm so happy with this. I'm not sure how they managed to keep this from swinging all over the place like some things that you hang on your rearview mirror, but this doesn't do that. Maybe it's the two-string design. Whatever it is, I appreciate it. I forget it is there. It's big enough to see but not overbearing in size. It is really nice quality and a nice weight. I am pleased with my purchase." —Rebecca

This little dancing dude is 17 inches tall! It uses 9-volt alkaline batteries (must be new) or an AC adapter — using an AC adapter with the proper specs is the recommended choice for best performance.
Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery, my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man, I knew I have a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner

Promising review: "These slippers are fantastic! The shark-inspired design is refreshingly unique and adds a fun touch to my loungewear. Beyond their cool appearance, they are incredibly comfortable to wear. The plush padding feels like walking on clouds, and the fit is just right. I appreciate how easy they are to clean as well; a quick wipe or rinse and they look as good as new. These slippers have become my go-to footwear around the house, and I couldn't be happier with them!" —Y.H

Promising review: "I am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flaky skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done, my face looked SO much better and was super smooth; I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" —Diane Delfino

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

Promising review: "It’s half my height and it’s softer than I expected it to be. Takes up a good portion of my bed. It came inside a vacuum-sealed bag, and it fluffed up in seconds. It was not flat whatsoever. My dog thought it was real 😂. Just took a nap with it. Very comfortable, especially when I sleep in the fetal position. It looks very realistic and goes well with my France Countryball plush. Would 100% recommend." —Emily C.

Promising review: "Hilarious and perfect for our fridge. It is a little unsettling how real some of them look! I will be buying more colors of them. The magnets have varying strengths, but I think that has to do with the way the sushi is around them. They hold up an average sheet of paper or photograph just fine, though!" —Katherine Storm

I spend a lot of my time sitting on the computer but don’t have a legitimate desk chair, and this has definitely been a breath of fresh air for my rather unforgiving wooden kitchen chair. Plus, I was looking for something cute and fun to bring some more color to my apartment, and this adorable duck definitely accomplishes that.
