www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I LOVE these! They’re so cute, the colors are vibrant, and they match the photo almost exactly. I love that you can switch out the scents or even use essential oils to add your own. Because of this, they should last a long time! Definitely worth the money." —Jenna Waller

Get them from Amazon for $9.99.

2. A tiny anxiety bookshelf you can shake with all of your might whenever you need a little stress relief. You would *never* throw your real paperbacks on the floor, but something about trashing and then reorganizing the 300 mini books is just so satisfying.

Get it from Amazon for $26.90 (available in three colors).

3. A dimmable sad duck nightlight that's basically a physical manifestation of you when your alarm goes off every morning. 

Rebecca O'Connell / BuzzFeed, Amazon

Promising review: "This little lamp is BEYOND adorable. I got it as a gift for my niece, and she loved it. It's super cute, has a soft squishy texture, and has a little X for its butt. Maybe some won't like the little X, but it just adds extra cuteness. Worked right out of the box. Seemed pretty bright. Squish him, and the level changes. I can't speak to life expectancy, but it seems decent enough quality. Freaking adorable! Way better than expected." —KF

Get it from Amazon for $6.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true!

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four styles, two sizes, and in multipacks).

7. A Gracula garlic mincer because garlic powder simply doesn't compare to freshly minced garlic when you're whipping your own Olive Garden–inspired "Tour of Italy" (chicken parmigiana, lasagna, and fettuccine alfredo, obvi). 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

PS: You can also use it for ginger!

Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L

Get it from Amazon for $18.95.

Promising review: "I think this might be one of the best things I've ever bought on Amazon. I bought one sheet for my mom for Christmas, and they just came. She hasn't seen them, but I know they'll crack her up. They look fantastic. I'll definitely buy more!!" —Claudia Basile

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the pill dispenser in action. 

Promising review: "So I am horrible about remembering if I took my pills. And I HATE digging into the old pill boxes or doing the tip-over. I don't know what it is, but I have always disliked it. I hung this on my wall right by the kitchen, so I pass it like 5,000 times a day, and I can't not see it. It is so fun pushing the little orange button to watch the meds fall out. I mean, it kind of feels like a really weird game of Wheel of Fortune, but I like it." —Grofica

www.amazon.com

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!

16. A pick-apart ASMR cloud plush with a squishy pouch where you can store the fluff. You can even get creative with it by giving it a mohawk or mustache before picking it bald. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

A few reviewers with trichotillomania swear by this as a helpful alternative for picking tendencies!

Promising review: "I have a tendency to pick at my clothes when I’m bored and have nothing else to occupy my time with. I got this toy to see if it would scratch that itch and save my clothes from my boredom. It worked much better than I thought it would. The outer layer to pluck has a soft woolly feel, and the under layer is very soft. Some of the strands were a bit stuck and took some effort, but most came out with only a little effort. I’ll probably get some more if I know I’m going to be away from home for a while." —Terras

Get it from Amazon for $7.50 (and check out dozens of other versions on the Fluffie Stuffiez Amazon storefront!). 

17. A pair of LED light saber chopsticks sure to inspire a lil' food fight. Though I'm talking a fake one, of course, because sushi is too expensive for you to be throwing anywhere other than down your gullet.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Amazon

Here's more from BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord:

"As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."

Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T.

23. A punching bag–shaped laundry hamper where you can take out all of your feelings about washing and folding. Go ahead, give it a roundhouse kick once it's full.

Amazon

Promising review: "I needed two things out of a laundry bag: something that could fit three to four loads and something that was not just flimsy canvas or cloth. This checked both of those boxes. The bag is adorable in that it is made to resemble a punching bag (and I often show aggression toward my laundry as it is my least favorite chore) and has a durable PVC bottom, so even when you set it on a concrete laundromat floor, it protects your clothes and holds up to wear and tear. Worth the price for sure!" —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

24. A blackhead-removing toy you can pick and prod with tweezers like you're performing surgery alongside your Grey's Anatomy colleagues. But for real, it helps if you're prone to picking your skin or pulling out hair when you're stressed!!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit, and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 19 styles).

John Mihaly / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "I bought this for my 4-year-old niece, but my 17-month-old toddler loved pressing the button so much that I got him his own too. He LOVES it when I hide Silly Poopy ,and he gets to go find it! It’s his favorite new game now. It keeps his interest since it gives him clues by making noises and saying little phrases periodically. His older cousins (6 and 8) love hiding it for him and for the 4-year-old. I would say it’s perfect for that 1.5–6-year-old range." —Corinne

I got it for my baby girl's first birthday party (on Halloween!) and I relish any opportunity to use it. It's so much fun! It's also lightweight and easy to clean.

It's small enough to take anywhere you might experience stress: your job, grocery store, dentist, Department of Motor Vehicles, parent/teacher conferences and waiting in line to vote! It fits right into my purse so I can quickly grab it when someone drives too slow in front of me or when I get pulled over for my right tail-light out. I love that it fits nicely on the night stand to conveniently grab when hubby snores! I can't think of a better gift for friends, teachers, or people you purposely annoy. And it's VERY VERY durable! I use it at least 25 times a day and the seams are just fine!" —William Imand

Promising review: "Functional and so cute! I was tired of chasing the flopping charger cord each night and this little holder has enough weight to stabilize the process. The silicone has a solid, soft feel and nice look to it and I love the aqua blue, true to the online picture. My series 4, 40 mm slips in easily. I may get the pink one just to use it as a stand for safekeeping instead of just laying the watch on counters when I need to take it off temporarily. I highly recommend it!" —Barbara, Central Florida
