Because if you want a capybara night-light, you should probably just buy a capybara night-light.

Life is too short to keep a running list of things you hope someone else will eventually buy for you. If a giant pretzel floatie, thong bookmark, shark onesie, or dead dinosaur-inspired perfume is going to make you smile, you might as well click "add to cart" and call it a day. 

This night-light can be turned on by tapping or squeezing it. It has two brightness settings and turns off automatically after 20 minutes. The listing has other fun shapes, like a pizza, a lucky cat, and a unicorn. 

Promising review: "Cute night-light for any capybara lover. Gives off a good amount of light and it’s not too bright or overpowering." —jaydynomite

Promising review: "These, as well as the other two books in the set, are easily the most beautiful stickers I’ve ever seen or used, and for significantly less than you’d be spending on stickers this pretty on Etsy, or anywhere else. —Layla

Get it from Amazon for $13.69 (also available in book and dream themes).

Promising review: "This mini pottery wheel was great for my daughter, and we had a blast playing with it. It was a bit of a learning curve at first, but we figured it out. I wish the pottery we made could be bigger. Maybe this is just a beginner's kind of device, but it sparked my interest so much that I want to get something larger now and do some real pottery. Overall, it was worth it." —Jason Custodio

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in regular or deluxe, which doubles the number of projects). 

Promising review: "My blooms lasted for three weeks with this copper heart. It’s not only beautiful, but it miraculously works! I could not believe how long the flowers my husband sent lasted. I usually get one week at best with plant food. Having fresh blooms around makes me calmer and happier. I am actually still in shock at how well this simple little copper heart worked. I felt like it warranted a 5-star review. A+ product!" —LPB

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two shapes). 

You can opt for notifications when birds come to visit (reviewers note that this can be overwhelming if you have a lot of birds in the area) and save videos for later. The videos are high-def and have night vision, so you can see every feather on that cardinal's head. 

Promising review: "Got this for my 95-year-old dad. He loves watching the birds come to visit, and I get to watch his feed from my home, too. I recommend this for any bird lover." —Cathy W

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 $19.90+ (available in sizes XS–XXXL).

Promising review: "This squishy looks so real that my husband was wondering why I was squeezing a stick of butter! It has just the right amount of tackiness, and the scent is pleasant." —davidandnina

Tamalitoz is a Latinx- and queer-owned business based in Texas. This ribbon-style candy is filled with a mild chili lime seasoning, making for a tangy, sweet treat. It was started in a tiny candy store in Mexico City by husband-and-husband team, Jack and Dec.

Promising review: "I once tried these after seeing them on a checkout line, and now I am completely in love. They are the perfect mixture of sweet, spicy, and salty! Since I go through them pretty fast, this is a great way to get all the flavors for a good price at once. They tend to get stuck together in transit, especially when traveling in Florida, but I’ve never had trouble separating them by gently patting the bag. If these candies pique your interest, go ahead and buy them!" —Katie

Promising review: "This is a great gift for anyone who loves flowers. They are as sturdy as they get since they're Legos, and although they do take a while to build, it's a very fulfilling process. Love it and would set it aside as something to gift to several people at any point. They look beautiful!!" —Gaby

Promising review: "Great game! Our whole family loves it! Our 5-year-old played it with cousins and grandparents, and they had a blast. It's quick and easy to set up and play. Makes for a nice after-supper game play. My child loves to 'fling poo' to knock people's pigeons over. There's value in learning to count, read, practice sportsmanship, and learning to roll with unpredictability packed into a quick, funny game involving collecting pigeons." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I broke up the three-pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in a stocking for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband, who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "My friends and family all know how terrible I am at waking up in the morning. Every alarm clock I have ever used has been defeated by my quick 'hit snooze button' reflexes. So much so that I find myself rushing for the door more often than I'd like. All that changed when I found Clocky. CLOCKY WORKS! Clocky moves, so I can't get comfortable or used to where the snooze button is placed. I easily carry Clocky to any room in the house I choose to get cozy, relax, and watch some TV until I fall asleep on a work night. I LOVE CLOCKY and highly recommend giving it a chance because you will fall in love with the results. I am now actively waking up at the original time I set my alarm to and also staying up so I can have a productive day. Get Clocky and save your day! ☆☆☆☆☆" —Valued Customer

Get it from Amazon for $25.05+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "I bought this for my partner and he felt that it was too heavy. I, ON THE OTHER HAND, fell in LOVE with this product. It’s definitely more on the expensive side, but it’s so worth it. Especially if you have migraines, because it feels like someone is hugging your eyes/face. It feels so amazing. In the mornings, my room gets so bright and always wakes me up, so I use this and instantly fall back asleep. And I LOVE that you can put it in the freezer; it feels so amazing. Also, I like to sleep on my side with my head elevated and this thing does not slide down. It feels so comfortable. If you’ve been contemplating, definitely get it — it’s worth the splurge!" —Michael

Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in six colors and two fabrics). 

Promising review: "This is the best float ever!!! It's a tad hard to inflate, but nothing wild. My son and I love this because we can both float together, and I can even put my legs through the third hole to lie back and float. I'd definitely buy this again; it's so cute and seems pretty sturdy." —steph & tom

Get it from Amazon for $21.50 (also available in 17 other styles).

Promising review: "I got this cat bed as a gift for my sibling, whose cat is a Big Boy at 17 pounds. I bought the biggest size available, and it's more than big enough for him. He loved sleeping in it at first, but now he just sleeps on top of it, so it's kind of...not as banana-shaped? Regardless, he loves it, so mission accomplished. An excellent banana!" —ADrops

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three sizes).

Get it from Otter Finds on Etsy for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I don’t know what it is about this fragrance, but I love it so much!  It is unique for sure, but it reminds me of summer days in a garage, which sounds weird, but that’s what it makes me think of. But then, as that begins to fade, it turns into a great, clean scent. It is the most unique perfume I own, and I own a lot of perfumes (over 100). Snif is an amazing brand!" —Jill T

Promising review: "These are very cute! I love the flexibility. The stems are long, so it will not get knocked out of 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

Promising review: "This is an ideal toiletry bag. A lot of space inside and has a zipper on the top. It’s not too soft to wear. It isn’t durable once it’s zipped and has a few things in it. It sits very nicely. It’s good for travel. It seems like it will be very durable. Good price for this item." —Maria

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in single bags or sets of three). 

Promising review: "I got these because I needed a way to cut open a packet that a medication I take comes in. I've now just decided to take them all out of said packaging and put the pills in a small container. Go figure. BUT I still use these all the time. They're small but mighty. They cut through cardboard like a dream. And of course they're super cute! Who doesn't want cute stuff? I do. They're great for on-the-go because they're small and you can attach them to a keychain. I love them." —realhorrorshow
