1. A pair of Kaco pens with the cutest packaging — they're Pantone themed (with the iconic Kaco heart on top, ofc). But fear not! They write with smooth, black ink that'll definitely work for writing notes, signing official docs, or anything else ~professional~ you might need a pen for. Real Elle Woods vibes over here.

Amazon

Promising review: "These are actually very nice pens, both to look at and to write with! My wife loves them. The quality is excellent for the price. She uses them all the time and loves the little heart that pops up. Such a smart design! Perfect gift for the graphic designer." —Chefmodo

Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors). 

2. A windproof lightsaber lighter so you can channel The Force to do some *very* important tasks (... like lighting your emotional support candle). It does glow red, though, so just be sure you can handle coming over to the dark side. 😈

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Grab some butane fuel here. The flame goes out when pointed down, so you'll have to pick up your candles before (carefully) lighting them. 

Promising review: "This thing is impressive. It shoots out a 4–5 inch jet of flame that starts blue and then melts into a brilliant magenta that reminds one of Darth Vader's lightsaber. It is well made, entirely of metal, and has quite a hefty weight to it." —PDT

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in two colors).

3. An 18-karat gold-plated mood ring that's inspired by (but a heck of a lot more durable than) that old one you got from the grocery store's capsule toy machine back in 1998. This color-changing ring is gorgeously set in between two moonstones for an ~elevated vibe.~ 

Amazon

Honeycat is a California-based, woman-founded small business that sells costume jewelry. 

Promising review: "I don't know what else to say except I think that this is the best gift I've bought myself in a long time. I now know what to give someone I love. The personal note with the ring in my package also made me very happy. People love it, and I get a lot of compliments." —Vivian

Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in sizes 5–11 and three finishes).

4. A Stitch-shaped Scrub Daddy because sometimes your dishes get so gnarly that having a little bit of Experiment 626's chaotic energy around could actually be very helpful. This sponge has the same benefits as the OG Scrub Daddy (multipurpose, firms up in cold water, and softens in hot water), but it's just a whole lot cuter.

Amazon, www.instagram.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love these. I am actually motivated to do dishes. They're a little asymmetrical, but that seems like part of their charm! It's the perfect size, the color is as shown, it works well, and it appears to be good quality." —Ky

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $23.10.

5. An adorable ladybug pin to recreate the magic of childhood, when your favorite accessory was the cute little beetle that hitched a ride inside on your sleeve after you'd been playing in the yard for hours.

Krintin Creations / Etsy

Krintin Creations is a small business based in Wisconsin. 

Promising review: "Easily the best thing I've bought for myself. I'm so excited to use it." —Moyobp

Get a natural or glittery pin from Krintin Creations on Etsy for $10 (available in 12 total colors). 

6. A pocket library, which is filled with tons of teeny tiny "books" (they have real titles and covers!!) that you can organize as a stress-relieving activity, or shake 'em up inside the case if that's more your style. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love this product. It’s so cute and really helpful for people who may struggle with anxiety or other mental health concerns. It’s very well-made, and the details on the books are amazing!" —Cora

Get it from Amazon for$12.99 (available in three colors).

7. Squishy Goliath Jelly Blox you can use as some stress-relief squishies (or just to play with, no shame). The best part of these is that if you leave them all over the floor, they won't cause excruciating pain when stepped on. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

If you want to share the blocks with your kids, these are great for ages 2 and up. 

Promising review: "Excellent travel toy! I was skeptical that these would lose their stick after being cleaned, but they are actually not sticky at all. More like a silicone texture, and they clean so easily with soap and water. Very durable! My daughter’s cousins, ages 3 and 5, also absolutely loved these on our vacation! Definitely a must-have in your child’s travel bag!" —Annie

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $19.99.

8. A variety pack of freeze-dried Skittles that start crunchy and then melt in your mouth. This delicious take on the classic candy even comes in 1-POUND bags (that's 4 pounds total!!) for all you serious sweet tooths out there.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are so good, sweet, and hit the spot when you want a little something to hold you over until dinner, lol. The texture was great, still hard exterior, dissolved perfectly. Would buy again." —Tagrzadz

Get four bags (Original, Wildberry, Sour, and Tropical) from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in other candies and pack sizes).

9. An alcohol-free "Soft" perfume rollerball made famous by TikTok — and it's literally less than $6. Reviewers are *loving* the gourmand, vanilla scent that's an almost perfect swap for the higher-end $50 Pink Sugar. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." —Chrissy

Get it from Amazon for $5.50.

10. A set of vintage-inspired spoons  so you can stir your tea while spilling tea with your friends — all over a marathon of Bridgerton, of course. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" —Lindsey

Get a set of six from Amazon for$4.95. 

11. A miniature Stanley tape measurer keychainthat's not just cute, it's functional, too! Now you can stop the guessing games when you're trying to use your fingers to estimate the size of something out in the wild (like checking the size of thrift store picture frames or quickly figuring out if jeans will fit you without schlepping over to the dressing rooms). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It can measure up to 3 feet, so it's better for measuring smaller things.

Promising review: "I thrift a lot and often wish I had a measuring tape to compare picture frame sizes, furniture, etc. This has come in handy so many times. It can attach to your keychain/bag, or you can keep it in your car for such an occasion." —KB

Get it from Amazon for $5.85.

12. A Mini photo and video camera keychain because the TikTok teens have declared that both trinkets *and* digital cameras are so in style, so why not hop on both trends with this lil two-in-one. Plus, it's literally a functional camera. How cool is that?

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "This thing is so cute. I’d buy it even if it wasn’t a functioning camera, but it is, and that just makes it that much cooler. Footage gives '90s/'00s vibes, perfect for casual hangs with friends. Gonna be carrying around with me everywhere this summer." —TiffanyM90

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $59+ (available in three colors and with an SD card) or something similar from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).

13. Some teeny tiny collapsible storage crates in a pastel palette to organize everything from your extra sauce packets to...whatever is going on in your "junk drawer." And, yeah, I know you have one in your kitchen. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and six colors). 

14. A horse-themed barrette because you may have passed the age where you can call yourself a "horse girl" (shout out Tina Belcher), but the Spirit never truly dies. Especially during the year of the horse!! 

Chunks

Chunks is an Asian woman–owned small business based in Seattle that makes recycled acetate hair clips and sunglasses in a ton of delightful colors and prints.

Promising review: "A true horse girl at heart, I just couldn’t resist buying. I’ve worn it more for half up, half-down looks, but it can work to hold a bun in place." —ellen

Get it from Chunks for $18 (also available in a cloud print).

15. Or a deeply trendy handmade orchid hair clip that'll have you looking like the guest of honor at a woodland creature ball. The flower is ultra-realistic and made from silk-infused fabric, while the actual clip is subtle and transparent, so it's not super noticeable (and you'll just look like you planted an actual flower in your hair).

FloresJewellery / Etsy

FloresJewellery is a Polish small business that sells handmade jewelry with real flowers and polymer clay.

Promising review: "The orchid clip is gorgeous. Delicate, but came with a list of care and instructions. Thank you very much; I am looking forward to wearing this soon. 🩷" —Sign in with Apple user

Get it from FloresJewellery on Etsy for $31.05+ (available in sizes small and large).

16. A fanciful mushroom kitchen timer, to transform your weekend baking ritual into a truly magical experience. Fairycore vibes, anyone? It goes up to 60 minutes and doesn't have to be used just for baking! If you want to put a little whimsy into your study sessions or your hair dye processing time, this little guy is also great for that. 

www.amazon.com

This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying. 

Promising review: "This is whimsical and fun; my kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.' Love it." —Vik V

Get it from Amazon for$8.95 (available in four colors). 

17. A set of vinyl coasters, aka a dream come true for the music collector who has run out of space to keep acquiring disc after disc. These teeny-tiny treasures are useful (no more drink rings on your nice coffee table!) and a fun way to show off your love for old-style physical albums without investing in more record storage. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely adore these!!! They are so cute and definitely do the job! They keep the surface free from water rings and make me giggle!" —johnny williams

Get a set of six from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in larger sets). 

18. A Clogs memory game where you have to match 24 pairs of similarly colored shoes — and that is surprisingly much more challenging than you would initially think.

Beauchamping / Etsy

The pack comes with 48 cards and takes 30–40 minutes to play. 

Beauchamping is a Californian small business that sells prints and games. 

Promising reviews: "A+. CLOGS CLOGS CLOGS. A+." —A. K.

"Loveably challenging game. Very unique, with a fascinating origin story." —Kate

Get it from Beauchamping on Etsy for $20.

19. An adorable capybara night-light because it'll stay by your side all through the night and ward off any creepy vibes. To go through all seven of the different colors, just tap this sweet baby on the silicone head. Oh, and btw — the flower version comes with both a daisy and a tulip. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So cute! And exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted a light for bedtime reading that wouldn't be too bright and keep me awake, something dimmer than a lamp. The three brightness settings are really great for keeping it dim. It's smaller than what it looks like in the pictures, too, which was a plus to me, so it doesn't take up as much room — check the description for dimensions. The touch function isn't quite as easy as a light tap; you have to give it a bit more of a bop or thunk, but totally fine. I also used the gap between the paws in the capybara flower version to thread wire between and hang it up, which was a better set up by my bed. And did I say cute? Cuz I'm an adult but why not add a little whimsy if I'm gonna get a night light?" —Meagan

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two styles and also axolotl styles).

20. A Godzilla microwave cleaner that'll actually make cleaning up kind of fun. Don't be that person who leaves soup splatter all over the breakroom microwave — let this little cutie take care of that for you. Fill him with water and vinegar, microwave for 5–7 minutes, and watch as stains are steamed right off. Wipe clean with a rag, and enjoy your sparkling microwave.

Amazon

Promising review: "Followed instructions for use and had great results cleaning a nightmare of a mess from baked-on chili in the microwave." —Rj

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

21. A disco ball watering globe because even your plants deserve to have a bit of a PARTAYYY! These help keep 'em perfectly hydrated (maybe we could all learn from them on our own night outs?) and prevent overwatering by gradually releasing water into the soil rather than flooding it all at once. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love the uniqueness of these watering tools! They sparkle subtly in the sunshine and provide me with the peace that I can go a few days without watering! Well designed, and I would buy from this seller again!" —Laura

Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.

22. A bear-y nice under-eye stick shaped like an adorable polar bear — it's formulated with Icelandic glacial water and niacinamide that can help soothe your puffy eyes and give you that refreshing boost you need to feel wide awake each morning. To make the experience ~extra~ soothing, store this lil' guy in the fridge!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Saw this in a BuzzFeed article and was intrigued. The blurb was interesting, and the reviews were correct: this helps my tired eyes with just a swipe under each eye. My puffy eyes aren't so puffy, and my face feels less tense. I keep it in the refrigerator, too, which adds to the cooling effect. I also swipe it over my eyelids, which relaxed me before bed. Will definitely purchase again." —S. B.

Get it from Amazon for $9.86 (available in three styles and also multipacks).

23. A pair of aromatherapy gemstone soaps in super luxurious scents (lemongrass, sandalwood, lavender, etc.) to match their gorgeous, crystal-inspired exteriors. Plus, when the soap runs out, there are actual crystals inside!

Amazon

Promising review: "I purchased this for my adult daughter’s birthday. As you probably know, they are hard to shop for. The look in her eyes when she opened the package said it all. She also said it was so beautiful that she might use it as bathroom decor. This is elegance in the soap world." —Jus Sheryl

Get them from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in four styles and a bath bomb set). 

24. Some TikTok-viral Maldon flaked salt, which is your favorite seasoning's favorite seasoning, btw. Seriously, what doesn't taste better with some high-quality sea salt on it? You can use this on chocolate, brussel sprouts, caramel lattes, fish, roasted tomatoes...the possibilities are endless. Reviewers are wild about the crystal texture, too. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Have I become a salt snob? I asked for a marble salt box for Valentines Day, and I couldn't very well put common table salt inside such a beautiful thing, could I? No. I did a bit of research and found out that Maldon's Sea Salt flakes are the gold standard... even better than the pink salt I bought at the big box store that rhymes with Bosco! This salt's texture is a delight and the flavor is clean and bright (without being sharp). This is a little luxury in my kitchen, and every time I use it, I'm like, 'Dang. This is the good life!'" —Indiana A.

Get a box it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in smoked salt, and in a beautiful almost 50-ounce bucket with the same design).

Promising review: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith 

Get it from Amazon for $5.98.

Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for$3.77 (also available in tie-dye). 

27. Some iridescent pimple patches to turn your annoying breakouts into much more fun face decor. These pull the gunk out of open whiteheads using hydrocolloid gel, and even help dry your pimples out with tea tree oil and salicylic acid, too. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. 

Promising review: "I’ve used a lot of different hydrocolloid acne patches with varying results, but so far these are the only ones that seem to actually resolve the zit in a day or two. Others have irritated my skin, or are difficult to remove and pull at my skin; these don’t do any of that. They stick quite well, but come off without a problem when I’m ready. They are cute too, and I like that I can’t see the gunk it pulls from the outside of the sticker." —ML
