Promising review: "Easily one of the cutest things we have in the house! Keeps our drinks cool, and it's adorable." —Ginny

Promising review: "I'm really happy with this rug! The coconut fiber is the best textile I've ever felt for an outdoor doormat for scrubbing off dirty or snowy shoes, and it feels very sturdy. I suspect this lil' feller and us are gonna be friends for a long time, and now we have the best doormat of the building!" —bluejay80

Promising review: "These bubbles not only worked great and were easy to blow, they tasted great too! Both my friend’s children and dogs were going wild over them! The kids had so much fun chasing the bubbles around with their mouths open." —Mercredes

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $23.49 (available in four other flavor packs).

Promising review: "I was craving a Froot Loop scent since I got a wax melt that had similar notes. This. Oil. Is. It. I have close to a hundred sprays and oils that I have curated, and this outperforms most of the ones I have. So many compliments were given today when I wore this, and people were tickled when I told them it was, IN FACT, a Froot Loop scent. I really did not have high expectations for the longevity and projection, but really, truly, this is a beast. I will buy this again and again!" —Audrey

Also consider making a stamp garden or aquarium. 

Promising review: "Fun and so versatile! Allows for many fun combinations! Kiddos love it!" —Meself

Mrs3DPrint is a small business that sells reading-related goods.

Promising review: "Such a cute bookmark! Very thin and malleable, so it easily grips the pages without breaking." —Sarah

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

Demi's Colouring Corner is a UK-based business run by Demi, a mother of two who loves all things horror and coloring. 

You can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon for $9.59! 

Promising review: "This book is a must-have for horror lovers. So many adorable renditions of classic and newer horror movies that are a blast to color. I like the simple style because it allows me to add my own flair and techniques, like a lot of the popular 'cozy' coloring books nowadays. I so hope this artist does a second version because I plan to finish every single picture in this book!" —AyemmeJay 

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). 

The 3D-printed set comes with five chickens, rocks, and a coop.

Ellingson TV is a small business that sells pins based on its collection of vintage televisions. Learn more about the process here.

Get it from Ellingson TV on Etsy for $12.95. 

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

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 setup when I open a new jar (which is about weekly)." —Emily

Promising review: "Great socks. I thought they would be cheap socks for the novelty, but actually very nice dress socks." —E

Get them from Amazon for $9.95 (available in three colors).

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 had a friend for life. Someone you can really count on to cheer you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner

You can make the light strobe, fade, or sync with your music. Despite what the images suggest, this is a USB-corded device. Atom by Adam is located in North Carolina. 

Promising review: "It's a fun gift. I bought it for my husband, and we are both so in love with it! We went with the alien option and love how the light color can be changed." —Charlotte

Get it from Atom By Adam on Etsy for $49.99+ (available with or without an alien). 

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

Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "I suffer from very sensitive and very dry skin, especially during winter. I can't use most products, though, because my skin is super picky and will react badly to them the majority of the time. At first, I was hesitant to try this milk because it also has a fragrance. However, I decided to give it a shot, and to my surprise, not once did my skin react badly. This milk makes my hands very smooth for hours. It's non-greasy and smells delicious. It smells like a real banana, not that fake chemical stuff. I usually don't like anything that's banana-scented either, so this should speak volumes." —i_am_me

Promising review: "Bought these as a gag. Left some on my coworker's desk to find. What can I say? They live up to expectations. It's a fun toy of good quality and nice size for hiding behind a monitor or name plaque on the desk. Took her a few days to find it." —nextech1101

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $8.95.

I Love My Maltese is a novelty Etsy shop based in California. 

Promising review: "I swear this looks better than my actual ID. 😀 It’s worth the money." —Jeremy 

Get it from I Love My Maltese on Etsy for $7.99 (can be customized with your face and info). 

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 fourth 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

Promising review: "This product is a little smaller than maybe what I was expecting. Regardless, it is still very comfortable. I spend a lot of my time sitting on the computer but don’t have a legitimate desk chair, and this has definitely been a breath of fresh air for my rather unforgiving wooden kitchen chairs. Plus, I was looking for something cute and fun to bring some more color to my apartment, and this adorable duck definitely accomplishes that. I think it would be extra perfect for kids, too!" —Claire Rorick

Nicole Sloan is an artist and small business owner who sells funny, surreal stickers and accessories. 

Get it from Nicole Sloan on Etsy for $7. 

Promising reviews: "My kids love anything pickle, so I knew we had to give these a try. They arrived fresh and were a great size bag for the price. They smelled and tasted just as expected — like a pickle. The kids would love to eat these again; I am sure we will be ordering more!!" —Erin

"Enjoyable, tastes like if a medieval artist painted the description of a memory of a pickle. According to my son, 'it tastes like a pickle, but not. It's confusing.' All in all, a fun pickle experiment." —3babybailey09

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My daughter’s toilet was missing the original caps, so I thought I would give these a try. They are so nice looking!! She loves them. Great quality and fits perfectly over the screw. Going to buy some for my bathroom now! Buy it, you won’t regret it." —Valentine Girl

Get a pair from Amazon for $15.58 (available in nine styles).

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: "Adorable key chain for the Ikea shopper in your life! It’s super fun and great quality — looks just like their blue bags! The softness and quality is identical to their bags, too! I love the zip top and can fit some cash, coins, and my card in it. A super cute gift and great value for the money!" —Drowning In Boxes
