As a BuzzFeed Shopping editor, my goal is to find all the products actually worth buying.

Do you take your aesthetics VERY seriously? Good, because we have lighter covers, Miffy speakers, and heart-topped pens that are calling your name. 

1. Afish-themed mancala game with 48 custom-cut pieces. Eagle-eyed anglers will be able to pick out some of their favorite fishies, from rainbow trout to salmon to catfish. 

Itty Bitty Barn / Etsy

Itty Bitty Barn is a small business based in Oregon that sells games, ornaments, and other gifts. 

Promising review: "Really nice fish mancala game. My dad liked it, and all was as described." —Jasper

Get it from Itty Bitty Barnon Etsy for $45

2. A Bluetooth Miffy speaker that's shockingly adorable AND functional. She stays charged for up to 12 hours, connects up to 10 meters away, and has little legs that pull out so you can rest your phone in her lap.

Amazon

If you're a Bluetooth hater, you can also insert a TF card to play songs directly. 

Promising review: "So cute! Perfect size for decor, and the sound is actually very nice. It can get pretty loud, which surprised me." —jordan

Get it from Amazon for$22.99 (available in four colors).

3. A Kodak "Charmera" blind boxfeaturing one of seven unique camera keychains. They can actually take photos and record video PLUS the footage comes with customized frames, vintage filters, and date stamps in photo mode. 

Amazon, Kodak

You'll get one of seven pretty sick designs. Also, you'll need a 1GB–128GB TF memory card, since one is not included in the package. See it in action onTikTok.

Promising review: "It's such a fun and simple design that you really will be taking photos of everything with it when you first get it." —Hannah Vo

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

4. And a mini digital camera and camcorderwith a cute character like Hello Kitty or Mickey Mouse. This is great for kids getting into photography or adults looking for a compact option to stow in their bag. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

There's 32 GB of storage, a selfie camera, and themed filters. 

Promising review: "Super cute and perfectly sized for my 3-year-old daughter’s hands. We were so proud of her saving up her money to purchase this herself. The camera has so many cool functions: front and rear camera, filters, video, etc. These were way beyond my expectations for a child’s camera, and I was pleasantly surprised." —Lucy

Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in six styles).

5. A fun and beautiful board game where the point of the game is basically to become a thriving forest. *wistfully stares out of the window*

Amazon

Basically you're growing trees. Each player starts with two. The trees absorb light and get light points, which can be used to disperse seeds. There is a "sun" rotating around the board, so players have to time and position everything properly to get the most sunlight.

Promising review: "This is my favorite board game at the moment. The look and feel of the game are great, the gameplay is great, and it's just a lot of fun. It's a competitive game in that there's a score, but it doesn't feel competitive to play. I like watching the forest spring up and cycle through generations of trees. My wife and I usually play together, and it holds up well for that. The game supports up to four players, which changes the strategy but makes for a better-looking forest. The game is also pretty durable. We've played probably 15–20 times now, and the pieces are still holding up well. No violence or adult themes, so kid friendly too." —Jesse

Get it from Amazon for $37.99.

6. A pack of Page Pointers — stainless steel book darts that help you mark your place down to the exact sentence. The finger design also works as a cute way to mark important lines in your textbooks, cookbooks, or memos. 

Amazon

Promising review: "A whimsical way to bookmark your work! I’ve handed out a few of these to friends already, and they have been a hit. They are lightweight, quite flexible, and worth the money. I would buy more of these, though the amount you get ensures you won’t need to repurchase for a long time!" —Tait

Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $12.95.

7. An elaborate lip balm keychain from everyone's favorite maximalist beauty brand, Flower Knows. Now you can have hydrated lips and an adorably accessorized bag. (Even the bunnies on the compact have bows!)

Amazon

Promising review: "This is the kind of makeup item you almost don't even want to use. This is my first Flower Knows product. The packaging is gorgeous — very shiny and eye-catching — and makes a great little charm. The lip balm itself is clear, goes on smoothly. It's a little thin, but honestly, after trying it, it has stayed nicely on the lips and lasted longer than many cheaper lip balms I've used. You may still have to apply often, but it's great for using as a base or just a quick dash to soften the lips. Overall, very happy, can't wait to attach the charm to my purse." —questkley

Get it from Amazon for $29.80 (available in two colors).

8. Or a mini biscuit tin that sadly still doesn't hold any cookies (they never do), but does come with a surprise. The sewing equipment is actually chocolate chip cookie-scented lip balm! 

Filipinta Beauty / Etsy

Filipinta Beauty was started by illustrator Hana Kirchhoff. Filipinta is a combination of the words "Filipina" and "pinta," roughly translating to "face paint for Filipinas."

Promising review: "Beautiful and would highly recommend." —Desirina

Get it from Filipinta Beauty on Etsy for $18 (also available in a cookie version).

9. A pack of five inflatable spiky balloons if you're looking to inject some '00s-era Avril Lavigne energy into your party. Remember those spikey rubber earrings from Claire's? Those were the days...

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love how you can add these for just a pop of something different! Very easy to use, and you can put a bunch together or just a few. Hold up well!" —Madsmadison

Get it from Amazon for $7.48+(available in 17 colors).

10. A set of silicone egg rings for purrfectly round fried eggs. The tails work as little handles — how pawsome is that? 

Amazon

Promising review: "These worked better than other egg rings I've had. They had enough weight that the whites did not leak under the ring. They are easy to clean. Very happy with my purchase." —robin e

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.95.

11. A Dragon Ball Zshifter knob — the design power level is over 9,000! Thanks to the included adapters, these cool acrylic knobs will fit in most cars. 

Amazon

Promising review: "It’s super easy to install. Everyone asked where I got it, and I got so many compliments on it. :) Most people didn’t even watch Dragon Ball, and they still wanna cop it. Dope purchase." —Majin Juju

Promising review: "I bought this because it reminded my little Gen X heart of the glitter toothpastes we used to get back in the '80s. I love this toothpaste. The little hearts are so cute, and the toothpaste itself is extremely minty and refreshing! I will absolutely purchase this again, even though it’s a little pricier than traditional US toothpaste from the store. It’s worth it to have a fun brushing experience." —Lynn

It rubs into the skin. I've found they're the perfect size to get my hands and up to my elbows when I'm hecka scaly, and all the way up to the shoulders when I'm less dry. And there's no residue! No greasy feeling! Just soft and hydrated and awesome. If they release more scents besides cherry and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle
