Promising review: "I got this as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend, and it now lives on her desk at the nurses' station to amuse her and her coworkers on slow days or when they need a break from the seriousness of the hospital. Even the non-cat people loved it!" —Alex G. Gann

Promising review: "Very soft, lightweight, and comfortable as an extra squishy pillow for side sleeping, size accurate (large size). And most importantly, the grumpy seal’s face is very cute." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I love sheep, and I thought this was the cutest thing ever! It’s easy to attach the roll of toilet paper, and it even comes with a second pair of eyes if you lose one. If you cock his head a bit to the side, he’s even more adorable. I’ll be back to order more so I can share these cuties with my sister and daughter. I’m sure they’ll get a kick out of them like I do." —BlackHeartNY

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $13.49.

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

Promising review: "These nail files are perfect to use with children. They make nail care fun and reduce the need for nail clippers. Makes nail care fun!" —Noni G

Get a set of three from Uncommon Goods for $16.

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 $31.99+ (available in three sizes). 

Promising review: "This is perfect to hold my glasses so I don't have to spend time looking for them. It's super cute and heavier than expected. Really happy with the purchase." —Savannah

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

Archie McPhee is a small business that has been selling quirky goods for over 30 years. 

Promising review: "I would have to say it is worth every penny! Sometimes, I get my cats toys, and they sit in the Amazon box instead. It was the opposite this time around! Just a minute out of the box with a sprinkle of catnip, my tiny third-gen Bengal took to it to cook some tracks. Her name is now DJ Katnip!

She played with it for a good 30 minutes before knocking out on the couch. It tired her out. Then my chonky boi had at it, and particularly loved the mic toy and volume ball. He then sat on one of the decks, and played his pre-recorded set. Let's call him Cat Diesel. The stickers that come with it are hilarious, and a good addition to the scratch decks." —Matt T.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a laptop if your cat works from home).

Promising review: "Was looking for a different style of watering can for the flowers on the deck. Harold the Hedgehog watering can [fits] the bill!! He's really cute sitting on the deck and even cuter when watering the plants. So very glad I got him." —ledac

Note: Some reviewers note that the cans may be too small for bigger dogs.

Promising review: "The size is perfect for small dogs! They may be small, but they play rough, and these toys definitely can handle it!" —Hannah

Get a set of three cans and the case from Amazon for $30.95 (cans also available individually and other styles). 

Beauglyful is a small business that sells food-themed decor. 

Get it from Beauglyful on Etsy for $113.38.

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 $12.98+ (available in three styles and sizes).

The set comes with five nugget plushes and a basket to keep them in.

Promising review: "These are the absolute cutest little support plushies ever. They are well-made and super soft. The overall quality is great. You can either carry one for personal comfort or the whole basket for group support. Perfect for little hands, and even bigger ones if necessary." —LLBon23

Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in other styles like fries, pizza, and dumplings!).

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 styles).

Promising review: "Worked fantastically. My wife had doubts about how egregiously dirty and caked-on the gunk in our 15-year-old microwave was (she thought we'd need serious chemicals!) but with only one pass of using this, it got 80% of all the gunk built up. A second pass a few days later got most of the rest!" —Some Hyena

Promising review: "No matter how your day goes, if you are a tea drinker, put this lil' guy in your cup of tea and he’s sure to make you smile! He works as expected to steep your tea ... the smile and brighter mood are decided bonuses! He’s very easy to fill with tea leaves, and after your cuppa, he is really easy to clean! I have a number of different infusers for tea. This cute lil' unicorn is already my fave.  ❤️🦄❤️" —Vicky S. 

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

Promising review: "So freaking cute! I’ve gotten so many compliments." —alexis18215

Smiley Moon Studio is a small business that sells acrylic earrings. 

Get it from Smiley Moon Studio on Etsy for $13 (two styles and three color options).

Promising review: "These are so cute! They’re extremely light, which is nice because I got my ears pierced around five months ago. They don’t irritate my ears at all, and they’re great quality for the price." —Meara

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 13 styles). 

While it does come with all the cute vibes, it doesn't come with actual tape, so consider grabbing a three-pack while you're at it.

Promising review: "No one is buying this tape dispenser for any purpose other than to look cute on a desk. It definitely does that. It’s adorable. Just look at that happy, furry otter face. As a bonus, it also holds tape, which is useful in a variety of situations. It’s also very sturdy and isn’t likely to go flying when you forcefully grab a piece of tape from it (if you’re an aggressive gift wrapper, by chance). This otter tape dispenser is one of the few novelty items that actually does what it’s supposed to do. Two paws up." —Bargler

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in five other styles).

It also comes with a mini book filled with goat facts. Funny AND educational!

Promising review: "Absolutely my most favorite gift to give this past Christmas (eight purchased and given). Every person who received this gift howled with laughter. They were so popular I had to wrap up the remaining goat I stashed, and saved for myself, only to immediately place another multi-unit order. I’m known for my 'ha ha' gifts, but this one stole the show." —Mel

Pair it with the mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit so you can create a tiny shrine to everyone's favorite painter.

Promising review: "I love this Bob Ross bobblehead, and my son is beyond happy! We love Bob Ross and watch his painting series (watched him since I was a little girl), and so this is a real gem, because it plays his most famous phrases on the Joy of Painting, and it gives my son a sense of calm as he does his homework! It lies right on his desk, and it's a real delight! So grateful for this! We absolutely love it!!" —HC4910

The silicone bristles are design to repel odors and are dishwasher-safe.

Promising review: "I love the design! the grip handle is the right size and the brush is perfect thickness and glide. perfect for basting and easy to clean. excellent quality." —Janice

Promising review: "This adorable plant pot is great for my collection. The cord is strong and long enough to adjust as needed. I was concerned that the little guy would tip forward on his swing, but it actually sits very nicely and looks great. The size is wonderful — so many special pots like this are tiny, but this one holds a nice mature plant. All the materials are of nice quality, and the planter itself is thick and sturdy." —LauraM

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

Promising review: "My husband and I have been in the wine business for 12 years, first as mobile wine bottlers, and now we own a winery, so we uncork A LOT of wine! This corkscrew is absolutely adorable and is of excellent quality! Because the actual screw that goes into the cork is so thick, I was concerned, it might take a lot to get it started, but it gets right in and does the job. This is my preferred style of corkscrew (the type with the wings), but other people prefer other styles." —Rebecca 

Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark

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

Promising review: "I ADORE this mousepad!!! I work as a software developer and was starting to experience the beginnings of carpal tunnel. This has totally stopped the numbness in my hand! And as a corgi mom of two bouncing corgi boys, this was a must-have!" —LW

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "Bought this for my daughter, and she loved it. The design is cute. Quality seems good for the price. Love the sound quality and ability to play any music. I’d have bought this just as a cute decor gift as well." —Nilay

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "I got a few of these as gifts for coworkers, and they loved them! I thought they were super cute as well. They are soft and squishy and definitely match the stress ball expectations." —Purvi Patel

"I tend to get rather stressed and have been known to accidentally obliterate stress balls. Thankfully, this llama is quite sturdy and hasn't shown any signs of wear and tear yet despite frequent and intense use over the past few weeks. Based on that, I fully expect him to endure for a long time to come." —Rachel L

Promising review: "So soft. So squishy. So stretchy! These little guys are so satisfying to sit there and squish when you're feeling anxious or frustrated. The paint on their little faces is a little messy sometimes, but the way a stress ball looks isn't very important. I like that these are small enough to fit inside your pocket because so many stress balls are big and obvious and embarrassing."  —Emma McConaughey

Get the set of 12 from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available in a 10-piece or 16-piece set).

Promising review: "The pens are super cute and have a nice fine-point pen. I ordered them for the girls at work and they loved them." —Jen

Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $9.59 (available in two other styles).

Promising review: "My kids asked for these for Christmas, so I got a big pack to hand out. They LOVED them. My daughter has them on all her charging cables, and they do not come off easily. They were a little tough to get on but once they are on they do not move. So far, my daughter has not needed a new charging cable since putting these on them." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This game is HILARIOUS. My kids love playing with it and taking turns hiding it. (They're 8-, 6-, and 3-years-old). They all think poop is funny and run around yelling, 'Silly Poopy, where are you?' It keeps them busy for at least half an hour at a time, and they leave me alone. Also? It's pretty durable. I found it outside in my garden in the 20-degree winter weather. I guess my 8-year-old left it out there for a few days. It also gets thrown down the stairs, and Silly Poopy just keeps on giggling and having fun." —Adele

Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (also available in other shapes).
