I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

1. A leopard mirror that tells it like it is and will have you walking out the door like "Yeah, I know I'm THAT girl!" It's like London Tipton's mirror that feeds her compliments, but this one doesn't have a creepy voice. 

PrintedWeird / Etsy

Printed Weird is a small business that designs colorful, fun, and retro wall art. 

Promising review: "I absolutely adore this mirror, and it looks amazing in my bathroom. Highly recommend! Thank you!" —Stephanie

Get it from Printed Weird on Etsy for $33.55+(available in two sizes). 

2. A Crocodile veggie chopper so you can pretend to be Robert Irwin taming a wild croc when it's time to meal prep. CRIKEY, it's fun to SMACK down an onion! This comes with four attachments for different-sized dices and even a spiral blade if you're into the zoodle trend. 

Ototo

Yes, it's dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "The best tool set I have found. The design is so cute, and all of the attachments are fantastic. Lightweight and easy to store if needed. Whether it's slicing veggies or fruits, or mincing garlic and onion, it really works well! So easy to clean. Blades are SUPER sharp, so be careful." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 

3. A "Bold and Brash" throw blanket because the boring quilted throw you have on your couch is not proper representation of your child-like heart. After your tenth SpongeBob reference, your guest will understand why you own this. 

Amazon

Silver Buffalo is a small business that specializes in fandom-themed homeware and gifts. 

Promising reviews: "Super good quality. Very, very, very soft. Super good artwork, but keep in mind the blanket is thin." —Michael Warren

"This blanket is SO soft and SO detail oriented. This blanket is both light weight and cozy at the same time (very helpful when sleeping because it feels so soft for the skin). Both the front and back of the blanket have the design. I’d love if it was a bit bigger, but honestly I’m so satisfied. This blanket does not at all shed! The design is so cute and intricate, I’d definitely recommend it as a gift to someone. Quality over quantity for sure !!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 30+ other pop culture–themed styles).

4. A strawberry jelly frog soap for a serotonin boost every time you go to the bathroom. You'll probably over-wash your hands just to keep jiggling his little booty. Hey Siri, play "Wiggle Wiggle" by Jason Derulo. 

Frolic Creations / Etsy

Frolic Creations is an Orlando-based small business.

Promising review: "Soooo cute!! They are adorable, wash well, and are extremely satisfying to squish. If you are asking yourself…”Do I need this??” YES. The answer is yes." —Haley

Get it from Frolic Creations on Etsy for $16.

5. A "retro" pop phonewith a USB-C cable to plug in your phone, laptop, or tablet, so you can lighten up those boring work calls and pretend you're back in middle school gossiping with your bestie. Just make sure you don't say "shut up, no way!!" to your boss. 

Anthropologie

Promising review: "This is super cute and very functional. There’s even a button to answer or end calls or it will also play or pause music through the handheld phone." —lyatesc

Get it from Anthropologie for $40 (available in five colors).

6. Jellycat inspired magnets to stick pictures, kid artwork, and reminders to your fridge with your favorite little stuffy. You'll actually look at your fridge to-do list with these little guys holding it up. 

ArtByBriannaMarie / Etsy

ArtByBriannaMarie is a small business that specializes in handmade clay creations. 

Promising review: "These Jellycat magnets are adorable and look just like the plushies! So happy with my purchase — the quality is great." —Amber

Get them from ArtByBriannaMarie on Etsy for $8 each (available in 45 designs). 

7. Plush Disney character flowers for my peeps that can't keep a plant alive but can sure make it to rope drop at the Disney parks (priorities). Stick these in every vase in your home for a colorful pop that will remind your guests that your heart belongs to the mouse. These are sure to hold you over until your next stroll through the castle. 

Disney Store

Promising review: "My order came quickly, and the flowers are so cute! The characters' faces are perfect! I like that they can bend, as it made it easier to arrange all of them in one vase." —Pinom

Get them from Disney Store for $16.99each (available in 10 characters).

8. A *flower* toilet gel stamp to add some razzle dazzle to your favorite seat in the house. These help keep your toilet fresh by releasing cleaning gel and aromas every time you flush — looking so cute while doing it, might I add. It literally looks like fairies left you a little surprise. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Aromas include lemon, rose, jasmine, and more. 

This kit also comes with five colors! 

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through multiple flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —SimpleStyleMe

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets).

9. A dino nugget pillow because your love for funky-shaped poultry doesn't just go away. I'm getting hungry just looking at them. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true! It's the perfect cuddle companion for all the paleontologists-in-training or anyone with an insatiable appetite for comfort. Just be careful not to accidentally take a bite while you're napping, because it looks deliciously deceiving!" —LadyTee

Get it from Amazon for $12.34+ (available in three styles, two sizes, and in packs).

10. A halo projector lamp that'll make it even harder to leave your room — it's so mesmerizing. This projects five colorful blurbs of light that literally turn your walls into pieces of art. The vibes are truly immaculate. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

See it in action on TikTok!

Promising review: "Love this lamp so much! So easy to put together, and love that they give gels to create your own little mix-and-match of color. The lights are pretty bendy and don’t get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned). VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." —Max Ferg

Get it from Amazon for $119.99. 

11. A pickle wine stopper because on top of being a "responsible adult", you also identify as a "pickle girl." It's a badge you wear with pride. It will keep your wine ~dill-icious~ while getting a chuckle when you pull it out at your next dinner party. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this pickle wine stopper for my nephew and his partner. It keeps air out of the bottle with a snug fit, and it cleans up easily after use. The fact that they love 'pickle' anything is an added bonus!" —Cynthia

Get it from Amazon for $19.50.

12. A pillowy duck that'll make you actually want to sit at your desk chair instead of on your bed (shocking, I know). It gives you that extra booty support to make any seat the best seat in the house. You'll probably hear a few gasps when you take it in the office — everyone will be asking for a turn. 

Amazon

Promising review: "This product is a little smaller than maybe what I was expecting. But, regardless, it is still very comfortable. 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. I think it would be extra perfect for kids, too!" —Claire Rorick

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

13. An Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment infused with not one, not two, but THREE hydrating butters for lips. It's oooh so soft and luscious, and will earn a permanent spot in your everyday bag. Also, how does one resist a flavor like ~marshmallow fluff~??! You might have to stop yourself from indulging in your childhood instinct to eat your lip gloss. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the marshmallow lip treatmentin action. 

Promising review: "My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it's not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn't overbearing and also doesn't keep coating your mouth like the Eos stick balms (still great, but more wax)." —Breanah Shirazi

Get it from Amazon for $4.97 (also available in Strawberry Acai). 

14. A sticker-by-number book to put your mind at ease as you create beautiful floral designs without the stressful mess. Unlike the usual paint version, there's no need to panic when you accidentally cover the wrong number or leave white gaps — just lift and re-stick until you're satisfied with your seamless work. Bonus: The pages are perforated for easy tear, so you can have a gallery of paint-like pieces (your guest won't even know they're stickers). 

www.amazon.com

Check out theseother fun versions of sticker-by-number if flowers aren't your thing. 

Promising review: "I’m a young adult who spends a lot of time in the hospital due to bad health issues. Most of the time, it’s nerve-wracking and very boring. I ordered this little book to take with me for next time, and I was very happy with it! It kept me busy and calmed my nerves. It was easy to do and therapeutic. I like the variety of pictures!" —Cherry  

Get it from Amazon for $10.65.

15. A crochet bouquet blanket that brings all the summer and coquette vibes along with lots of cuddles. It's the perfect gift for your BFF, your mom, or for yourself because who wouldn't love a bundle of soft, cozy roses? Lay it on your couch or on your bed and watch guests gasp when you unroll it. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 styles).

16. A chicken print that is the perfect representation of what goes down at your house. The only foolery done here is named Tom, and you'd better be ready for it.

17. A sardine tin cosmetic bag to keep all your "fishies" in row and by "fishies" I mean loose bobby pins, lip gloss, or even your spare change that jingles in your purse. This will help keep you organized and look so cute while doing it. Especially for my peeps who have fallen into the sardines trend, this is an obvious *add to cart*. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Spacious. I love this little pouch, it’s so cute and even bigger than I thought it’d be." —Sarah R. 

Get it from Amazon for$20.99+ (available in 10 colors). 

18. A set of vinyl coasters that might actually get your guests to use coasters *and* might have them plotting a steal because these are so darn cool.

21. A shaved sheep plushie — you'll need it ripped out of your hands after you take his little "sweater" off for the hundredth time. You won't be able to help it, he's just so dang adorable and probably the closest you'll get to the satisfying shearing of fluffy, soft wool. 

www.amazon.com

If sheep are not your thing, check out this alpaca version. 

Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." —Aerebys Stare

My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark

Get it from Amazon for $11.66. 

25. A 3D skirt tissue boxbecause the boring ol' boxes just make you feel worse when you're dealing with the sniffles. This will make you giggle just enough to forget that allergies are kicking your butt. Just make sure to keep it stocked before there's a "fashion emergency."

Promising review: "I actually did not know anything like this existed. I was watching TikTok and saw someone use it to allow the light to shine in without people being able to stare into their home. So I decided to give it a try, and am so glad I did. It is beautiful. I currently have it on a small window, and the difference it makes as opposed to aluminum foil is amazing.

Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
