1. A color-changing nightlight and bluetooth speaker to set the perfect mood lighting and music.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
Promising review: "The light is really soft and diffused and the colors are beautiful. The light can be turned off completely, set to pulse with the music, or set to cycle through the colors. The speaker is bluetooth and can be paired with other bluetooth devices like your cellphone and used to play music through music apps like Spotify and Pandora. You can also connect the speaker to your device using a standard auxiliary cable which is included with the speaker. It also came with an included micro USB cable for charging. I am very happy with it!." —Jamie

Promising review: "The magnetized putty works with the magnet to create out of this world movements! Comes in its own tin with its own magnet. Set magnet on putty and watch it gobble it up in slow motion. Make it 'dance' by moving the magnet on top of the putty. Fun stuff!" —K. Bro

11. Farfalle-shaped silicone grips to protect your hands from hot pots and pans.
Get them from Amazon for $15.95.
Promising review: "Greatest little kitchen helpers since sliced bread! While that might be a slight exaggeration, they really have become my favorite pot holders. Small enough to stick in your gadget drawer, but plenty large enough to use on your largest, heaviest pots and pans. Great for lids that have handles that get hot. I keep one on those lids during the whole time I'm cooking. You could also leave them on glass items used in the microwave. Very handy. And they are cute!" —Southern Gal
12. A two-in-one compact mirror and external battery to keep your lipstick poppin' and your phone charged.
The two most important things tbh.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
Promising review: "Exactly as pictured. It's small and thin, so it doesn't bulk up the purse. Very cute design. Seems durable for the price." —Sarah Smith
13. Pretty in pink string lights that have it flamin-going on.
Get them from Asos for $16.
14. A cactus-shaped travel pillow to ensure your airplane seat neighbor stays on their side of the armrest.
Get it from Amazon for $22.
Promising review: "The product picture makes the pillow appear more muted (and blue toned) in color, but in person it is vibrant without being overwhelming. The fabric is soft and supple and the fill beads are incredibly comfortable. The size is pleasantly larger than expected. It seems longer in person than in the product picture. 10/10, would (and probably will) purchase again!" —Patience Priegel
15. A taco-shaped cheese grater that's ~tortill-y grate~.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $10.

Promising review: "OH MY GOODNESS! I am obsessed! I bought these for gifts for two of my teammates, but I'm keeping one for myself and ordering more. I was seriously shocked at how bright the lights are! I love that there are three settings. I compared it to my expensive ring light, and for the price and the size of this, it's so perfect! Very happy with this order!" —Nichole Jane

23. Oreo-shaped teethers that are perfect for a last-minute shower gift...and prove that you are, in fact, the cool aunt/uncle.
Get them from Amazon for $7.97 each or the two-pack for $14.97.
Promising review: "So cute! They look just like the real cookies you know and love, but hanging by a cord around your neck...and baby LOVES to chew on them! They're the only cookies I'll let him have! The textures are really nice and the size and weight of them make them perfect for his nonstop teething chewing! Seriously considering buying these in all the available colors! REALLY good for the price, too! Great conversation starter, too, since teething necklaces are really the only jewelry I get to wear with an infant around!" —K.H.
24. A jelly cleansing ball to add a little fun to your face-washing and makeup-removing routine.
The activated charcoal formula deep cleans and refreshes pores, leaving your skin smooth and balanced.
Get it from Sephora for $20.
Promising review: "I had heard so much hype about this product before I finally got it in the mail, I expected to be at least somewhat disappointed, but I don't have a negative thing to say! The jelly ball feels amazing and lathers up really nicely. Unlike most cleansers it leaves you with a real deep clean feeling, and isn't harsh or drying. It's super gentle and soothing — not to mention super fun to use! Will definitely purchase again." —Amanda Ennjay

Promising review: "These do exactly what I bought them for. I wanted to cover my soup, oatmeal, etc. in the microwave, and this they do admirably. The small one has been through the microwave and the dishwasher multiple times with no signs of wear. I also use them as a cover to keep my food warm temporarily. Very happy with these." —Lisa B.
29. A wall-mounting bottle opener that magnetically holds up to 25 caps on your wall and shows off how many beers you've had recently.

Thank you for an awesome product!" —Kelsi
