Sometimes the key to someone's heart is a tin full of emergency googly eyes.

Promising review: "I used these for a prank on my roommate and stuck eyes everywhere. They come in different sizes, some small and some big. They are pretty durable, as we keep finding them on different random objects. They were even stuck onto a door, and stayed the entire time we lived in that apartment. They are easy to use, as the back is sticky. They also put a lot in the single tin." —Flint_Ste.el

This card game is great for 3–8 players, ages 7 and up. 

Promising review: "I used this for a game night party, where some of our friends already knew each other, and others were new to the group. This game right at the top of the evening made everybody fast friends and ready to dig into more games. It was hilarious and enjoyable." —CLC

The lighters aren't included, but reviewers mention that the cheap little ones from gas stations work perfectly (but that standard Bic ones were a tight fight)! 

Promising review: "I can't even. This is literally the cutest thing I have ever impulse bought. It’s a hit at parties and I giggle every time I remove the cute little hat to use the lighter." —Catt Pecknold

Promising review: "This, my friends is one of the most wretched things I've ever seen. Does it float? No. Does it make noise? No. Does it open its mouth? No. Does it have any use at all? No. Does it make my hands smell like glue? Yes. Does it freak out my dog? Yes. Do I get a little sick and uncomfortable every time I look at it? Yes. It is a horrible object and I love it! 10/10 would recommend!" —Hannah Wengerd

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 17 colors).

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

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

Even some cool graphics at the end — stars, hearts, angel wings, etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes to craft!" —Anna L.

The 3-in-1 toy can be attached to a clip that connects to the side of a stroller or crib.

Promising review: "My nephew is a first-time new dad, and I gifted this to him for Christmas. It has been perfect! Baby T loves watching and talking to the funny contraption during diaper changes, and Dad has had a lot of fun entertaining Baby with his funny headgear! Very versatile! Easy to use. Easy to clean. If you need a gift for a baby shower, this would be a fun alternative to diapers and onesies!!" —AngieD

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles and also a clip-only version).

Promising review: "I love these and they actually GLOW !! 🥹🥹 Yayyyy." —Amazon Customer

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

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

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

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

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

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: "So SO CUUUTE! 10/10!! Good product and keeps my straw from getting bugs or germs on it! Plus, it’s really cute." —JennA

Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in three other styles). 

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: "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 several times, just put him in a container in the fridge and re-steep for the next cup." —Codi

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

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

Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in three sizes). 

If you're unfamiliar with the Otamatone, it's a Japanese musical toy shaped like an eighth note that sings when you squeeze it's mouth and touch its fretboard.

Promising review: "My kid loves the Otamatone. He already has an original one so I decided to get this keychain for Christmas. This one has 11 songs built in (original Otamatone doesn’t) and you can demo play all songs or you can play them by yourself (it plays songs and you control rhythms)." —M. BARE

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three colors and five specialized versions). 

Promising review: "These are very cute! I love the flexibility. The stems are long so it will not get knocked out your book (my book is always roaming in my bag). The top is subtle. It really looks like a mushroom emerging from your book. Worth the buy." —Atticus

Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as cable ties).

The plant comes in a gel that has all the nutrients it needs to survive. It should outgrow its home in about 4–6 months.

Promising review: "I was pretty sure I'd love this, but had no idea how much! I'm the 'mom' to three full-sized Venus flytraps, and it's so fascinating to see this baby in its beginning growth stage. Sort of like marveling at the tiny fingernails on a new born infant, I'm captivated by the tiny but perfectly formed traps. Looking forward to watching it grow!" —Siri Jeffrey

Note: Reviewers mention that you should size up.

Promising review: "I got this for my son, and since the day it came in, he's barely taken it off long enough for me to wash and dry it. He even sleeps in it. Needless to say, he really likes it! Great quality, too." —Jessica flores

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXXL).

The sugar-free powder packets come in easy-to-carry sleeves.

Promising review: "These flavor packets are strong! I use one packet per 33-ounce bottle of water and that feels like plenty." —Katrina

Get them from Amazon for $4.87+ (available in two pack sizes and three flavor sets).

Promising review: "Bought them as a gift, but now I'm keeping one lol just because they are so cute." —Jessica Geer
