Check out a TikTok of the flower scrubber in action. 

Promising review: "Love having this on my kitchen sink. It’s happy and cute and makes me happy. One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use but it’s still cute and I could’ve been more careful holding it. Not a super stiff brush but works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well and food doesn’t get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." —Hannah Jo Wilson

Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true!

Promising review: "This is a super-fun lamp with various poses. The ability to change the stance is fun for my toddler and helps develop his creativity. It looks good on our desk. I also loved that it is touch sensor activated to give it a premium look and feel. I do wish it had better cord management, so maybe a good upgrade for the manufacturer. Overall I'm satisfied and it met my expectations." —Bargain

Get it from Amazon for $46.88+ (available in five styles). 

Promising review: "This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 :( and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we're amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is that the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it's fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don't let this stop you from getting it, though. It was worth every penny!" —JW

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "This mini (2-cup) cocotte looks so cute on the table. I have several, and they are all the perfect size for serving individual portions. They are well-made, sturdy, can withstand high heat, and they are dishwasher-safe. Did I mention adorable?" —SeriousShopper

Get it from Amazon for $43.45 (available in two styles).

This small business is located in Türkiye and has a cute collection of quirky home goods. 

Promising review: "The mount looks so cool! What a clever idea. And it's well-made too, in that changing the wheels is really easy and quick. So, great! The customer service was incredibly helpful and friendly. I would definitely buy from them again. Sure, the price isn't exactly cheap, but with free shipping from Turkey, I think it's bearable. I'm having so much fun! :)" —Etsy Buyer

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Promising review: "These are multi-functional, timeless, and well-made. I’ve been using both of these personally and for my company, and I can’t recommend them enough. These vases are a key part of how we display florals in our tablescapes. I love that you can put them into any candle holder and it changes the whole vibe! We use them for both faux and real florals. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and style, and I can always count on them to elevate our designs. Highly recommend! I personally have 12, and I’d love to see these come out in larger sets!" —Sasha Pintos
