If liking tomato-shaped lights, gasoline-inspired perfume, and infectious disease coloring books is weird, I don't want to be normal.

Promising review: "I bought this delicious bread morsel to cheer up a friend. It was perfect; she really kneaded it. She uses it for cuddling and sleeping. This yummy bread cake doesn’t feel crummy at all; it’s soft. It was the yeast I could do. If your friend loves bread and they're going through a tough time, you butter get this." —Nora Lee Majors

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: "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: "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

This mask is made with albumin, a component from eggs that helps moisturize skin. It claims to help tighten pores, hydrate, promote elasticity, remove dead skin, and balance pH. To use, mix the included powder and liquid together with a brush. Spread the mixture evenly over your face and leave until it begins to dry. Wash after 10 or 15 minutes, and enjoy your freshly hydrated face! 

Promising review: "I was gifted the Hanacure masks and loved them, but they're just way too pricey. I heard SO many wonderful things about the Skin 1004 zombie mask, and at about $2.50 a pop, why not?! Let me tell you, this mask is just straight-up magic. I didn't notice any changes to my skin immediately, but a few hours later, when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how wonderful my skin looked. I've never noticed a difference like this. Hanacure who?!?? don't get me wrong, the Hanacure mask is amazing and magical, too, but it's expensive and impossible to maintain the twice-weekly mask schedule recommended. This Zombie mask is every bit as magical with better results in my opinion. And it's super funny. A lot of the reviews mention a bad smell, which I was worried about, but I didn't notice a smell, and I'm so sensitive to smell I can't use scented lotions, lip balms, etc. Bottom line, this is better than Hanacure both price and results wise." —Dana Dane

Candle Lume is a small business based in Canada that sells custom candles. 

Promising review: "I love the candle! Great addition to my apartment. Really nice quality and unique!" —laurenhekman96

Get it from Candle Lume on Etsy for $26.03.

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 learn. It’s got a good amount of pages to color and each one a different picture." —Shelbe Clark

Just pop it in water to get your underwear.

Promising review: "This was the PERFECT gag gift for every stocking in the household. Everyone couldn't stop laughing and loved it!" —Elephants Are My Thing!

Dear Prudence, Berlin is a small business that sells surrealist accessories. 

Promising review: "I love these earrings so much! I wore them to a meet-up of cat-loving friends, and they were a hit." —Rainpdx

Get it from Dear Prudence, Berlin on Etsy for $44.78+ (available in three finishes and four materials). 

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: "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). 

Promising review: "Love this little guy, and he gets a giggle out of my coworkers. Works perfectly and cleans super easily. Can hold larger amounts of tea too, and if you have tea that can be steeped multiple times, just put him in a container in the fridge and re-steep for the next cup." —Codi

The book has 2,000 peel-off stickers, including letters, accents, numerals, and punctuation.

Promising review: "Perfect for scrapbooking or journaling. There’s plenty of stickers for each letter and extra for the more popular ones! Good variety of colors and fonts. Even some cool graphics at the end — stars, hearts, angel wings, etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone that likes to craft!" —Anna L.

This little dancing dude is 17 inches tall! It uses 9-volt alkaline batteries (must be new) or an AC adapter — using an AC adapter with the proper specs is the recommended choice for best performance.

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! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man, I knew I have a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner

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

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 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

Each cat comes with a speech bubble and a mean one-liner. 

Promising review: "My brother is a cat lover, and the stickers are big and beautiful. This is his favorite Christmas present from me." —C. Wong

Just pull it backward to make it go! Archie McPhee is a small business that has been selling quirky goods for over 30 years. 

Promising review: "My dad and I always give each other gag gifts for Christmas, and this one is so unique and funny. 😭 A possum in a peanut. 🤣 Would buy again, 10/10. Great money spent. ✋🏼" —Alyssa

My husband got me this light as a gift, and I can confirm it's very cute. If you firmly tap or squeeze it, you can toggle between three brightness settings. It's not bright enough to read by, but it works quite nicely as a night-light or for mood lighting. The legs are wiggly, which is definitely a selling point for me. 

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 his 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

Take it from BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower: "Not only does my cat sleep in this every day, but she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment."

Promising review: "The cats love it! They birdwatch in it until they fall asleep. They also play with the stuffed fruit, which I didn't think they would. Both seem to enjoy it, and they fight over it at times. I bought the large. Very happy with this purchase! My cats are picky, and most things I buy turn out to be a waste, not this one!" —A Hutch

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (also available in toast shape).

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

It comes with a white cord, but it would be kinda cute to paint it green so it looks like a vine. 

Promising review: "Found a similar one on UO for close to $100, and this one takes the cake! Has a broad dimming and brightness setting as well as a timer and pulsing options. There’s a remote for it as well as a controller on the cable. I’m a self-taught home cook and am obsessed with anything food-related, and this has completed my kitchen! Definitely recommend!!" —Merrie

Get them from Britts Highlights on Etsy for $17.95.

Promising review: "Adorable, soft, textured fabric, great stitching, and most importantly, plenty of fluff! It came vacuum-packed but quickly reshaped. I was planning on making this custom myself, but for the price, I'm very pleased, and I have one less project on my plate." —Mackenzie

Get it from Amazon for $12.33+ (available in three styles).

Promising reviews: "Each Christmas, we give our daughters a stocking that contains silly and/or functional stuff that is supposed to surprise them Christmas morning. This was the perfect silly stocking stuffer for our oldest." —Richard Kranz

"I love this SO MUCH. I embrace my inner snail every time I wash my face. It's soft but not too fluffy and thick. It has a nice stretch, but it's also not too loose where I feel like it's falling. Buy some for you and your snail friends :)" —sam

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 18 colors).
