1. A ~cat-a-pult~ to, well, pelt people with mini cat figures. Yep. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I got this as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend, and it now lives on her desk at the nurses' station to amuse her and her coworkers on slow days or when they need a break from the seriousness of the hospital. Even the non-cat people loved it!" —Alex G. Gann

Get it from Amazon for $9.85.

2. An extendable silicone straw that I will not apologize for wanting! Nope! I am lazy. I want to sit where I'm sitting and not have to bring a heavy Stanley water bottle to my mouth when I'm thirsty.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought for working out because I’d rather use my cup than water bottles, and honestly, I was surprised to see that it works. The straw is longer than expected. The only flaw is the straw is hard to get in if you have ice already in your cup." —lisa

Get two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four color combinations).

3. A book of shady bird stickers for conveying all the sass that would probably get you sent to HR. The "Wow, are you always like this?" sticker would 1,000% be my most used response sticker.

Brass Monkey

It comes with 60+ stickers, including some puffy stickers.

Promising review: "The intersection of stickers and sassiness may be where my heart lies. These stickers *definitely* speak to me. They are hilarious and such a joy to use. The stickers are easy to lift from the sticker book, but since they're large, they need to be peeled carefully. They stay put once applied. I'm so glad I found these delightful stickers, and I highly recommend them to other sass lovers." —CaraN

Get them from Amazon and Brass Monkey for $8.

4. A hard-working Dove intensive repair hair mask if your hair is begging for a little treat, too. Consider this miracle mask a one-way ticket to shinier, softer, stronger-feeling hair in just one (one!) minute.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

I've been bleaching my dark-brown Asian hair blonde for almost 10 years, and while I'm fortunate that my hair is pretty strong, it definitely needs some moisture and softness added back after a root touch-up. I'm very loyal to my current routine, so I was skeptical that this product would work as well, given the price — less than $10! — and the fact that you only need to leave it in your hair for a minute. Well, I could not have been more wrong! I truly see and feel the difference when I use this mask: My hair is softer, it's easier to blow-dry and style it, it's smoother (frizz is a big concern for me, especially when it's humid), and it just *looks* healthy. The delicious scent is an added bonus! I test a lot of products, so it's not often that I love something enough to buy it when I run out. This, though? This I will definitely be buying when the tub is empty!

Get it from Amazon for $6.94.

5. A Revlon blender tool because a natural-looking blend on your contour, blush, and highlighter isn't just a pipe dream. The jelly-like silicone tip mimics the feel of your fingertips, allowing you to keep your hands clean while expertly concealing and blending.

www.amazon.com

This is designed for use with cream and liquid makeup.

Promising review: "This is actually a really unique product you can use for either concealer application and blending, or like a cream lippie. It’s really good for concealer, especially if you layer different products like color correctors underneath your concealer, because it doesn’t absorb anything like a brush or sponge would. DON'T DAB IT THOUGH; ONLY GLIDE IT OVER YOUR SKIN A FEW TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!" —Molly

Get it from Amazon for $7.96.

6. A jelly sandal hand sanitizer holder to take you back to your childhood and the days you spent strutting your stuff in your *own* jelly sandals. Oh, yeah, it'll also hold your hand sanitizer...because that's important too.

Bath & Body Works

Promising review: "This is the cutest holder ever! When I saw it in stores, I thought it was an actual baby/doll shoe. 😭 Ugh, I'm obsessed. It takes me back to when I wore jelly shoes." —clawdeeuh

Get it from Bath & Body Works for $6.95 — and check out the collection of PocketBac sanitizers you can slot in your new holder.

7. Cain's Jawbone, a fiendishly difficult puzzle that'll truly challenge you. It works like this: You receive a book of 100 pages detailing a murder...except the pages are out of order. Can you correctly arrange the pages and solve the murder? Only four people have solved it. Ever!

Amazon

Fun fact #1: This book makes an appearance in Knives Out. When Daniel Craig's character Benoit Blanc is in the bathtub, Cain's Jawbone is one of the books strewn around the tub!

Fun fact #2: I got this for my dad for Father's Day because he's big into brain games, and he told me he's really enjoying it! 

Promising review: "Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loved it! He loves books, brain teaser metal puzzles, and usually has the bad guy figured out before the halfway point of a movie. So this was perfect for him. He just started it. But if anyone can solve it, I’m pretty sure it’s him." —Pernina Doyle

Get it from Amazon for $7.76.

8. A Dr. Scholl's heel repair balm for anyone with heels so cracked and dry that they refuse to let other people see their bare feet. This intensely hydrating salve comes in an easy-to-apply roll-on formula and is designed to soften and protect the skin and fill in heel cracks.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Guys, in just a little over a month, my feet have had SUCH a transformation that I haven't seen in over 10 years. 😭 I'm only 30, but I've had problems with my feet since I was a teen. I've always been so insecure about them for obvious reasons. My feet literally shredded sheets! I've tried so many products I've lost count! None of them did anything. Wasted time, money, and hope! But this product — it's given me my feet back. 😭 I don't have to wear socks EVERYWHERE anymore! I will never buy another product!! My favorite part is that I don't have to put nasty creams on my hands to rub into my feet anymore, either. I love the large lip balm–type tube because of this!" —Amber Reynolds

Get it from Amazon for $6.47.

9. A cute telescoping boba pencil case so taking notes and studying for exams is a little less sad and dreary.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m able to fit quite a few pencils, highlighters, pens, and erasers. The material makes it easy to hand wash or machine wash. It’s sturdy, durable, and makes a perfect gift." —Vergeta Jones

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors).

10. A perfume if your tastes are bougie but your wallet says, "Absolutely no way!" This expensive-looking bottle would fool anyone into thinking it costs 10x more. It smells like vanilla with a hint of citrus — a perfect sweet-but-not-too-sweet scent.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a lovely fragrance! Totally worth the money and lasts a lot longer than I expected. When I first sprayed it, I smelled the burst of creamy vanilla with a nice touch of lemon. Think lemon dessert, not a harsh lemon. Once it dried down, I realized it smelled exactly like Pink Sugar. I like that fragrance, so I’m happy with it." —Olivia

Get it from Amazon for $6.97.

11. A sticker becase *cries in millennial* I feel this.

The Perky Pencil / Etsy

The Perky Pencil is a small business based in Ohio.

Promising review: "Shipped quickly and the sticker is exactly as pictured. It's so cute, I love it! I can't wait to put it on my Kindle." —Mariah Mourer

Get it from The Perky Pencil on Etsy for $3.50.

12. A pack of little heart-shaped grippers to keep your eyeglasses or sunnies exactly where you want them. Summer is approaching, which means you'll be constantly pushing your glasses up your nose after your sweat makes them slide down... Just sayin'.

Amazon

Promising review: "I bought these for my Ray-Ban sunglasses, and they work perfectly! ❤️" —BMosqueda

Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six colors). 

13. And relatedly, a sunglasses holder that slides onto the sun visor and provides a landing pad for your sunglasses and your regular glasses. A treat that's also practical? Truly there's no reason to not get one!

Amazon

Promising review: "I needed something to hold sunglasses in my car that wasn't a cup holder or the passenger seat — this worked perfectly! At first, I found it kind of tricky to open and close, but after a few uses, it's become super easy to use! I like that the part that closes is slightly longer because it makes it easier to pull it down. Several people who have ridden in my car have asked about it and found it cool! I feel like this will also be helpful for holding parking passes or receipts if needed." —M

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors and multi-packs).

14. A bouncy shower jelly for a coffee and date–scented kick in the morning that will clear the sleep from your eyes and get you ready for the day. 

Lush

Promising review: "Bought this a few weeks ago and I love it!! It smells amazing. I usually don't gravitate towards coffee smells, but this one's just the right amount. Love using it in the morning!" —Jessi

Get it from Lush for $9.50.

15. A box of hydrocolloid pimple patches so angelic and sweet, you'll forget all about your pesky zit.

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "Super cute and long-lasting. They don’t fall off during sleep." —girlfromanisland

Get a pack of 15 patches from Amazon for $3.

16. A can of Red Bull Summer Edition White Peach if your daily dose of caffeine could use a summery, citrusy upgrade.

Red Bull

This stuff is gooooood. Dangerously good. It's crisp and refreshing, which I can see being a total treat in the morning, because sometimes coffee is just so...heavy. And it's sweet without being overly sweet or tasting like artificial peach. Delicious on its own or mixed in a cocktail/mocktail. I fear this will be my new beverage of choice this summer.

Get it from Target for $2.99 (also available in a sugar-free version).

17. The world's smallest Bananagrams because it's the world's smallest playable Bananagrams... C'MON!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

18. An internet-famous Eos Vanilla Cashmere body lotion to soak your skin with 24 hours of nongreasy hydration. Reviewers say it smells just as delicious (maybe even more delicious) than more expensive lotions like Philosophy's "Warm Cashmere" and B&BW "Vanilla Bean Noel." 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I influenced myself to buy this after putting it in so many posts, and DAMN! I've really been missing out, I guess! When I say that this stuff is nongreasy, I mean this stuff does not feel greasy at all. As a morning shower-er, I need my lotions to absorb quickly so I'm not all slick and oily while I'm getting dressed before work. The feeling of slipping into pants with greasy, lotioned legs is a sensory experience that is just *gags*. This lotion feels thick and luxurious but soaks in pretty quickly, leaving behind only softness and a divine scent that lasts for hours. I'm not a vanilla-scented girlie, so I went with fresh + cozy, the perfect balance of sweet and musky. Trust me when I say that I will be buying more of these when I run out.

Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. It absorbs quickly for a lotion rich in oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." —Dragonheart Jo

Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in other scents and packs).

19. An 18-karat gold-plated cherry keychain that would convincingly fool other people into thinking you spent almost a hundred buckaroos on the one from Coach.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "When I initially bought it, I was nervous that the brass color wasn’t going to match with my Coach bag, but once it arrived, it was perfect; it looks almost like the real one and doesn’t feel cheap at all, I’m very happy with my purchase, and I'd 100% recommend this to someone looking for an alternative to the Coach cherry charm!" —Veronica G.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

20. A 3D-printed lettuce and celery re-grower for the at-home gardener who's looking for an easy way to grow their greens. Ding ding ding! This propagation station is blessedly straightforward to use and may potentially remove lettuce and celery from your grocery list permanently.

Imperial 3D Factory / Etsy

Imperial 3D Factory is the small business behind this unique product.

Promising review: "Love these! Work really well in the kitchen window. Planning on getting more for gifts." —kalyncoppedge

Get it from Imperial 3D Factory on Etsy for $5.99.

21. A tube of E.l.f Cosmetic's Lash XTNDR tubing mascara so you don't have to shell out for expensive lash extensions. Why would you even want to when you have this lengthening and defining formula, which, BTW, wipes clean with just water. No smudging, no flaking, and no copious amount of scrubbing to remove mascara at the end of the day. A true blessing for thin, fragile lashes!

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord says, "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 

22. Some mushroom bookmarks if the receipt you're currently using isn't fun(gi) enough to entice you to come back and finish your book. And they're the perfect accessory for your magical forest fantasy novel!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m so glad I picked up these mushroom bookmarks! I had high hopes, and they absolutely lived up to them. The designs are so cute — it’s hard not to smile every time I open my book. I was especially impressed by the quality; the material feels sturdy and smooth, not flimsy at all. They slide in and out of books easily, without causing any damage, and the vibrant colors really pop. As someone who reads a lot, I appreciate both the fun factor and the practicality that these add to my reading routine. They’re not just bookmarks — they’re little pieces of joy in my day. I’m definitely recommending these to all my book-loving friends. They’re a perfect combination of style and function!" —Capri

Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.

23. A lavender and bergamot-scented Billie whipped shaving cream because if anything's gonna get my lazy butt in the shower to shave, it's gotta be a truly luxurious experience. It's made with moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and aloe, and reviewers say you can even skip the post-shower lotion.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have always struggled with razor bumps and skin irritation after shaving. I have tried so many shaving creams and so many products to help with it, but I’ve never had a successful one. I’ve even tried men’s products. But this is the first cream that has not irritated my skin or given razor bumps when I’ve shaved. And it hydrates your legs like a lotion. I highly recommend this! My favorite!" —Josh C

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in an unscented formula).

24. A dainty daisy necklace to stack or wear on its own — whatever you choose, you should be prepared for a dozen "Where did you get that?" questions.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This necklace is a steal for the price! I bought it last summer and have been wearing it nonstop ever since, and it is still in perfect condition. I have gifted this to numerous friends, and I get compliments on it all the time. It looks great alone or paired with other necklaces." —Lexi Wharem

Get it from Amazon for $8.45 (available in four other styles).

25. A set of two overnight lip masks in the most adorable honey pot–shaped containers that'll hydrate and repair your dry, chapped lips while you get your beauty sleep. But beware the honey-loving bear who loves honey as much as you'll love this lip mask!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve been using this lip mask for a really long time as an overnight mask. I get very chapped lips when I sleep, and I usually make it worse by biting my lips in my sleep. This is the only lip mask I’ve found so far in years that actually lasts the entire night and into the morning. It feels thick and nourishing, and I LOVE the smell of the pink one. I honestly use it all the time. During the day, I usually stick to thinner lip products, but I’m sure this would be fantastic for daytime use also." —Danica

Get them from Amazon for $8.99.

26. A no-mercy version of Uno for anyone who thinks the Draw 4 Uno card isn't ruthless enough. How about Draw 10? Yep! This Uno has tougher action cards and some brutal new rules that might test some relationships.

Amazon

Promising review: "We are a game family, and especially with UNO. I think we have them all. So when I saw this, I knew we had to get it. This game is an absolute blast! If you love UNO but want a bit more excitement and unpredictability, this version is perfect. The 'No Mercy' twist adds a whole new level of strategy and fun — you never know when someone will unleash a surprise challenge or card that totally changes the game. The rules are similar to regular UNO, but with added twists like special action cards that can really shake things up, making the game way more intense. It's fast-paced and definitely brings out the competitive side in everyone. Whether you’re playing with family or friends, this version guarantees tons of laughs and unpredictable moments. If you're a fan of UNO and want to add more fun (and a little chaos) to your game nights, I highly recommend giving this version a try! It’s a lot of fun and a great way to keep everyone engaged." —Vincent Nealis

Get it from Amazon for $9.05.
