Each mini jar contains 38 lotion bursts, and is a great size for stashing in your purse for moisture on the go. Just be mindful about keeping it somewhere warm, as the lotion bursts may melt and clump together. Promising review: "OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pop 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 come out with more scents besides this and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle Get a 38-count jar from Amazon for $7.47 (available in two scents). Promising review: "So why do I like mopping slippers? I have a 2-year-old, and the slippers are great for mopping up little splashes. Drops of water from doing dishes and the extra padding is nice. No paper towels wasted, and it's immediate. Plus, these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy for this functional novelty item." —G. Kim Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes and 17 styles). Promising review: "I bought it for my friend's gift basket, and I honestly expected it to be smaller. It’s actually a perfect size and SUPER SUPER SOFT. I swear I'm not tryna be dramatic to try and sell you on this. It’s just that whoever thought of a banana duck as a concept needs to get a raise!" —Plush owner Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four sizes and five styles). 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 a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99. Promising review: "I love it. I brought it for my desk, and I’m in love with my little froggy. It comes already assembled. The color is true to the picture, and it is just so cute! It even rocks back and forth, which is fun and useful when you need to fiddle with something." —Amber Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six styles). Promising review: "Saw Urban Outfitters had a tomato lamp for $100 and said hell naw. But then this lamp came along from the Amazon gods for $30 and no way I could pass up such a sick lamp. Smaller than anticipated but is immaculate. Runs almost everyday/all day and has been doing great for a year now. After a few hours, it automatically goes to the strobing setting. Remote has never failed me yet (knock on wood)." —Samantha L. Medley Hills Farm is an Ohio-based, family-owned small business that specializes in unique candies, snacks, and baking supplies. Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer Promising review: "This little guy is hilarious! I got it for my son and he immediately loved it. He keeps it on his bedside and can easily tap it to turn it on during the night if he wakes up and needs a little light in the room. It has a few different brightness settings that are easily set by tapping the duck. It lasts a while without a charge, and also works while it's plugged in, which is a feature that I appreciate." —ADH Promising review: "Easy to use, easy to clean. Makes great waffles/pancakes. Heats up quickly and indicates when waffles are complete. My son loves to make these with me." —erin j. Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 10 other styles, including Sonic and My Little Pony). Promising review: "Perfect gift! Looks delicious. The blanket legit looks like a giant tortilla. It is so soft and would be perfect for one of those lazy days on the couch. This is such a fun gift!! I got this for a friend's birthday gift, and he was thrilled. He eats burritos like four times a week, though, so this was too fitting for him. 😂" —shae Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six sizes and five styles, including a pizza version). Promising reviews: "I'm moving into a dorm for my freshman year of college and totally bought this as an impulse purchase. My mother thinks it's the stupidest thing she's ever laid eyes on, but I LOVE it. It's going to look so cute on my desk in my new room, so much so that it makes listening to my mom whine about 'responsible choices' worth it." —Mel "Looks very cute and has three different brightness settings. My 4-year-old loves this as her new night light, and it's easy enough to operate for a toddler. Highly recommend." —James Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two colors). Promising review: "This product is well constructed, easy to use, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s clear that attention was given to both quality and functionality. Very satisfied with the purchase!" —M. J. Rodriguez Promising review: "Great gift item for the person in your life who can't get enough joy out of farts." —Rachel S. Promising review: "Look, the fact that their Pink Cake recipe actually includes MELON instead of just using only strawberries or raspberries like every other fan-recipe for the Pink Cake makes me already happy. It's a pescatarian [cookbook], nothing with standard meat options, but they're all as hearty as you'd expect from farm cooking. They even made 'Strange Buns' and 'Seafoam Pudding' look palatable." —Ninotchka Mantrom Promising review: "This clock looks amazing in my living room! I have a Dali Museum near me so I have a few things under my TV that I set it next to. I actually bought this for my mother but I liked it so much that I kept it! This thing weighs very little and is very sturdy in its spot despite the precarious look to the melting shape. My only complaint is that it has no hand for the seconds, only minutes and hours... I was actually looking forward to the ticking, but this is silent (a definite plus for most people)." —AiyaSGC87 Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in five finishes). Promising review: "I bought these as a joke when I was house sitting for my parents while they were gone for a month. I ended up actually saying ‘good morning’ and ‘good night’ to the trash cans every day because they were staring at me. I didn't want to be rude. 10/10 would buy again. My parents seem to enjoy them as well because they never took them off." —Easton Get a 4-inch set of two from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a 7-inch size and larger packs). The kit includes a genuine gum base, corn sweetener, wax paper, flavoring, a mixing tool, and a container. Make sure to keep an eye on your kiddos as they do this experiment. Promising review: "My son received this as a gift, and he was very excited to try it out. I would definitely consider it a science experiment, and it ended up being a bit messy, so I would recommend making it in the kitchen. He decided to add dark blue food coloring, and the end result was pretty, but I was kinda hesitant to try it out. Surprisingly, it was delicious! I would also like to add that he is 8 years old and was able to read the instructions and complete the project without any adult help. All in all, it was a great learning experience for him, and he was very proud and happy with the end result." —Amethystastrohouse This kit comes with tools, instructions, the pellet, and a guide to help match the bones to their possible species of origin. Promising review: "My 7-year-old biologist loved this product. It took him a couple of days of frequent, intermittent focus to completely excavate the entirety of the pellet. He loved guessing via the booklet what animal each bone belonged to. There was no smell, and the packaging was nice. It contained tools, instructions, and the pellet. It was very interesting to see and dig and spot bones and fur, we even found a still whole ear, we think. WE love it and will buy again soon!" —ChaiChaiTrain Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three sizes; also available in multipacks). Promising review: "I got it for laughs, but I was amazed by the quality. I have received a lot of laughs from people and got it as a gag. I was amazed at how soft and comfortable it is, particularly for such a low price. It is lightweight but functions well at keeping me warm. The length and size are typical for a normal scarf." —Jamie Larson 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). Check out a TikTok of the cactus dryer ball. Promising review: "This is my first time using these, and I'm already in love! I saw someone say these can catch hair, but I didn't know if these would really catch hair until I used them. They even captured cat hair, which is life changing for me! 😄😻" —E & D Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a pack of six, and two other styles). Promising review: "I was quite skeptical of all the hype, but decided to try it out anyway. This stuff actually works! Two weeks in and my stubborn blackheads are almost gone, and my skin is much clearer. Holy grail!" —Tmuk Promising review: "I absolutely adore these!!! They are so cute and definitely do the job! They keep the surface free from water rings and make me giggle!" —johnny williams Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.99. 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 According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Check out a TikTok of the rain cloud diffuser in action. It's got three different light modes and five water speed settings. Promising review: "Love it! It’s so super cute! We call it our shroomcloud. It's peaceful, and the mood-changing colors are the best! I love hearing the subtle sound of water. Ahhh, zen! Works great as a diffuser with a few drops of your favorite essential oils, too." —Krissy Promising review: "I love this bowl for putting snacks in. It is good in the dishwasher and holds an okay amount of stuff. I love the cute face on it." —Mana McPhee Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in five sizes). Check out a TikTok of the cloud knife in action. Promising review: "I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." —Amy Yasneski Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.49.
