As a BuzzFeed Shopping editor, my goal is to find all the products actually worth buying.
There are so many interesting things to behold in the world. And many of them — like pickle bandages, a grim reaper tea diffuser, and a candy sushi kit — are available for purchase!

Promising review: "I bought this last month, and I love it! I've never been a fan of the key hanger by the front door (it never felt safe to me), but I always end up turning my apartment upside down, looking for my keys. This is a cute and fun place to remember to grab my keys when I am heading out, and it's endearing to return them to the goose when I come home." —JAK

Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger than 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

The plant comes in a gel that has all the nutrients it needs to survive. It should outgrow its home in about 4–6 months.
Promising review: "I was pretty sure I'd love this, but had no idea how much! I'm the 'mom' to three full-sized Venus fly traps, and it's so fascinating to see this baby in its beginning growth stage. Sort of like marveling at the tiny fingernails on a new born infant, I'm captivated by the tiny but perfectly formed traps. Looking forward to watching it grow!" —Siri Jeffrey
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

The sugar-free powder packets come in easy-to-carry sleeves.
Promising reviews: "These flavor packets are strong! I use one packet per 33-ounce bottle of water and that feels like plenty." —Katrina
"Sure, nothing would be better than water alone but getting kids to keep properly hydrated is hard enough without trying to make them drink plain water. Letting them pick out a flavor and mix the water keeps them engaged and they stay hydrated while we're outdoors." —Wes W
Get it from Amazon for $8.60+ (available in three pack sizes and two flavor sets).

This card game is great for 3–8 players, ages 7 and up.
Promising review: "I used this for a game night party, where some of our friends already knew each other, and others were new to the group. This game right at the top of the evening made everybody fast friends and ready to dig into more games. It was hilarious and enjoyable." —CLC

This toy is battery-free! It also comes with a little booklet.
Promising review: "I think this little toy is adorable. I have it on my coffee table, and you just wind it and watch it go. I bought one for a friend and she loved it. Cute gift for cat lovers." —T

Promising review: "I love these and they actually GLOW !! 🥹🥹 Yayyyy." —Amazon Customer

Snif
Promising review: "I don’t know what it is about this fragrance but I love it so much! It is unique for sure but it reminds me of summer days in a garage, which sounds weird, but that’s what it makes me think of. But then, as that begins to fade, it turns into a great clean scent. It is the most unique perfume I own, and I own a lot of perfumes (over 100). Snif is an amazing brand!" —Jill T
Get it from Snif for $26+ (available in two sizes).
Dryer balls are eco-friendly *and* budget-friendly because you can use them over and over. Friendsheep is a small business that sells dryer balls handmade by women in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Promising review: "These work very well! They spread around essential oils well. At first, I was worried that the black color of the wool would stain clothes, but that hasn’t happened at all. Very cute and highly recommend!" —Lanikai
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $21 (also available in nine other styles).
Gizzy Books LTD, www.amazon.com
It has over 35 pages filled with icky stuff like flesh-eating bacteria and parasitic worms.
Promising review: "This creepy book is not only fun to color but it’s actually informative too. Each page has a picture of a disease and then information on the disease itself! I thought that was pretty cool. Color gross stuff and learning. It’s got a good amount of pages to color and each one a different picture." —Shelbe Clark

Promising review: "These are hilarious and will make the perfect stocking stuffer! I didn't realize they were textured with little pickle bumps until I got them. Excellent!" —Christina

Promising review: "This product had me rolling on the floor laughing. It is the best thing I have seen in my entire lifetime because of how funny, cute, and how overall accurate is to my cat. Please buy this if you have living or late pets because it is very nice. 😊😊😊" —Stephanie

Promising review: Mystical Fire Colorant is amazing. For a really fun experience, get some of these for your next camping trip. As if a campfire needs improvement... but this stuff is really neat. I'd say the adults love it even more than the kids. We only used one packet and the colors were so good — seems like they lasted at least 20 minutes. There was even color left in the ashes the next day. We will never go camping again without several packs of Mystical Fire on hand." —TeNe

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

The kit comes with two landscapes and one portrait of Bob.
Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and What a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

The machine comes with fake coins to activate, but it also works with real quarters. Reviewers warn that it's pretty loud and burns through D batteries.
Promising review: "This game is awesome! So worth the purchase! I got it for my niece's 4th birthday and it was a hit! I read all the reviews prior to purchasing and I highly recommend doing that. I was able to buy smaller toys and figurines to throw in there as well as some bite size candy so I could have it ready for her to open and play with." —Chelsey

Promising review: "I’ve bought these years ago and decided to buy them again for me and my son. He really enjoyed making the candy/gummies. He was proud of his candy sushi once they were assembled, and of course, he loved eating them. He said they were very yummy. The flavor for all the different little things wasn’t bad but my favorite was the 'seaweed,' it tastes just like grape Hi-Chew (my favorite flavor). I recommend buying these at least once for the kids. It’s fun and a tasty treat. We will look into the other kinds in the near future." —Blythe

Promising review: "I broke up the three-pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in a stocking for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband, who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I have read all the Redwall books and own them. This cookbook completes my collection!!! It’s awesome. If you’ve read Redwall, then you know how delicious the feasts sound. This book has alllllll the favorite recipes like strawberry fizz, October ale, and shrimp an’ hootroot soup! I love this book and all the recipes it has become my favorite cookbook just wish that it wasn’t so expensive. Also love how it’s a story with recipes along the way!" —Heather McKinney

Promising review: "This event-planning book is badass! An inch thick, tons of colorful photos, tons of step-by-step instructions. Huge value for only $15 (price when I purchased it). I can't wait to give this to my sister-in-law for Christmas. I want one for myself." —Scott Anderson
Get it from Amazon for $12.16.

This night-light can be turned on by tapping or squeezing it. It has two brightness settings and turns off automatically after 20 minutes. The listing has other fun shapes, like a pizza, lucky cat, and unicorn.

If you're unfamiliar with the Otamatone, it's a Japanese musical toy shaped like an eighth note that sings when you squeeze its mouth and touch its fretboard.
Promising review: "My kid loves the Otamatone. He already has an original one so I decided to get this keychain for Christmas. This one has 11 songs built in (original Otamatone doesn’t) and you can demo play all songs or you can play them by yourself (it plays songs and you control rhythms)." —M. BARE
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in eight styles).
The fork has three prongs to make it easy to spear olives and pickles.
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite kitchen gizmos and it doesn't take up room in the drawer! I eat lots of olives and this keeps me from having to wash or get a clean fork when I'm in the middle of making a salad or just want a snack, and it makes spearing the olives easier too. It comes with two sizes to fit any jar (even though if you need this I feel like you probably get the big jars right?). They are stretchy and easy to get on and off. I usually just rinse it between uses and then wash the whole set up when I open a new jar (which is about weekly)." —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

Note: Reviewers mention that you should size up.
Promising review: "I got this for my son, and since the day it came in, he's barely taken it off long enough for me to wash and dry it. He even sleeps in it. Needless to say, he really likes it! Great quality, too." —Jessica flores

Promising review: "My classroom has a video game theme this year, and when I saw this, I knew I had to give it a shot. It's exactly as advertised, looks amazing, and appears to be really good quality. Decent size, and I tried it out on my fridge at home — it works great. Looking forward to seeing the kids' faces when they see it in the classroom." —Kayla

The lighters aren't included, but reviewers mention that thecheap little onesfrom gas stations work perfectly (but that standard Bic ones were a tight fight)!
