If anyone has ever called you "quirky," you might be interested in this list. I'm talking: frog earrings, a chicken nugget keychain, and edible bubbles.
1. A holographic sticker designed to look like a cryptid (or UFO) sighting Polaroid. It'll be a nice placeholder while you hunt for the real things.
Forever Spooked is a small business that sells spooky stickers.
Promising review: "Adore these mock Polaroids! Look great on any surface. Super fun cryptid stickers." —Amanda
Get it from Forever Spooked on Etsy for $2.40+ (available in four styles or a pack of all creatures).
2. A pair of dangly frog earrings that honestly look pretty...fly. ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)
Also check out these Frog and Toad earrings!
Promising review (right pair): "Frickin LOVE these earrings! They are well-made and denser than I thought they'd be, but not heavy! They are light, and they hang nicely from the ear. I get little giggles whenever I wear them and compliments. :)" —Jessica P.
Get them from Amazon: the pair on the left for $7.99 or the pair on the right for $7.99.
3. Murdoku, a book of murder mystery logic puzzles. There are 80 crime scenes to examine, which start easy and get menacingly challenging.
The puzzles are logic puzzles, not Sudoku puzzles, so expect clues and a graph to help you rule out suspects.
Promising review: "Amazing! These puzzles are so fun. It’s nice that they start easy and get harder, so you can get used to the format first, then continue to be challenged as you learn how they work. Fun, visually appealing, and sprinkled with humor. I finished this one in about 1.5 months (of fairly dedicated work) and ordered Volume 2 before I was even done with the first one. It’s a higher price point than many puzzle books, but you get high quality for what you pay." —EN
Get it from Amazon for $17.70.
4. A pack of mini hand finger toppers so your gesticulating can be extra expressive. Sometimes you wanna convey peace, rock and roll, and "screw you" all at once, you know?
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in fruit and animal styles).

5. A realistic nugget keychain. Caution: This may make you hungry every time you look at it.
6. A caution desk sign to warn off potential chatty coworkers looking to gab. Sorry, Betsy from accounting — take your new baby pics elsewhere!
7. Hot Streak, a unique party game that lets the whole party place bets on racing mascots. Players can guess the winner, along with weirder side bets, like if they think a certain mascot will run right off the board. Once the bets have been drawn, it's up to the cards to decide who wins the pot.
8. A deck of Portuguese sardine playing cards housed in a fancy lil' tin! A game of Go Fish would go so hard with these.
LLoreta is a small business based in Portugal that sells ceramics and other gifts.
Promising review: "The playing cards are very nice. This makes the card game much more fun, and the small box is very practical for storage." —Anita
Get it from Lloreta on Etsy for $23.34 (also available with ceramic sardines).
9. A set of toilet bolt caps when you're super serious about having a home that's chock-full of whimsy. Just unscrew the boring caps and screw these on in their place.
Promising review: "By far the best thing I've ever purchased! Super cute addition! Well made and a nice size!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.86+ (available in six styles/colors).
10. Cryptid Construction Kit magnets so you can create your own FeeJee Mermaid or Jackalope. Personally, I'll be debuting my wild creation: a beaver with a duck bill that lays eg— wait, that's just a platypus.
The set includes 90 magnets in all — so your cryptid possibilities are endless!
Promising review: "My whole family and all our guests that come over love these. There's always a new cryptid being built and hanging out on the whiteboard. So much fun!" —Jenny Spagnuolo
Get them from Amazon for $25.95.
11. A snack-branded multipen perfect for all your most important notes. Imagine signing a check with an Oscar Mayer pen. Unfathomable levels of aura.
Promising review: "These are super funny — just what I was looking for. Obviously not the most practical for an everyday pen, but they actually work and write well! The pickle is a bit wobbly, but has stayed attached so far. I’m very, very impressed with the pen." —Kristen
Get it from Amazon for $4.78+ (available in 10 styles).
12. A lawn ornament depicting the daily trials and tribulations of living in a garden with the ever-looming threat of a dinosaur attack. Gnome respect!

13. A goose lamp! Hello, a goose that LIGHTS UP! It's a glowing version of the popular porch goose that people love to dress for the holidays. And since it's LED (and therefore won't get hot), you could prob dress this one up too...
Imagine it in this sun outfit. 😎 Tantrum is a family-owned toy shop founded by two high school sweethearts.
Get it from Tantrum for $252.
14. A 3D-printed vase that's forever mid-fall thanks to a rascally kitten. Just keep in mind that this thing isn't heavy, so your actual cat WILL knock it over for real.
Promising review: "Very cute! I have it in my bedroom with a few fake lavender stems. I wouldn't say it is the sturdiest thing in the world, but it is cute and different. I just wish my cats would stop knocking it over when they jump on my bureau." —spryte
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).

16. A bloody knife bookmark in case your latest horror read wasn't scary enough.
Promising review: "Nice horror bookmark! It does its job and looks cool doing it. It’s made of a very hard, durable material. And keeps the page right where I put it." —Christine work
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four styles).
17. A Dr Pepper candle that smells like the real thing — that's right, all 23 flavors. Take a whiff and try to name them all. Cola, cherry, amaretto, sarsaparilla...clove?
18. A darling lil' computer mouse shaped like a different kind of rodent...a hamster! The cordless device connects via USB, and reviewers say it scurries around their mousepads like a dream.
Promising review: "We're going on three years now with this lil' guy, and he's still functioning like he's straight out of the box. It's small and light enough to take on trips to the cafe and super easy to set up. It works wonderfully and looks cute, too. If you use it in public, you will definitely get a few compliments your way." —C
Get it from Amazon for $15.32+ (available in five colors).

19. Chatter mouth silicone grips for a somewhat unsettling cooking experience. These pot holders can withstand up to 450 degrees and double as a tool to torment your guests with lil' nibbles. >:)
20. A duckin' adorable chair pillow offering you some extra comfort when you hunker down for your next round of Zoom calls. Nooooo, the duck is not screaming — he loves when you sit on him! That's the face of a duck experiencing zero fear or agony. Go ahead and flatten the bird some more. Jokes aside, reviewers say it's soft and cute, and even works as a pet bed.
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
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
21. A working claw machine you can fill with any tiny treats you'd like, from squishy toys to candy to...uhm...bones. Now you can say, "we have claw machine at home."
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
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
22. A "Gracula" garlic crusher that ironically helps you with one of the most tedious chores in the kitchen. Just throw in the peeled cloves, twist, and feel grateful you Let the Right One In...to your kitchen.
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
Get it from Amazon for $9.58.
23. An infectious disease coloring book oozing with hours of gross relaxation. This purchase is nothing to sneeze at.
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
Get it from Amazon for $9.86.
24. Vlasic Pickle Balls for anyone who gets hungry whenever the sport of the same name gets mentioned. Grab some dill-flavored puffs after a long day at the court.
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
Get it from Amazon for $3.47.
25. A keychain shaped like a classic Ikea bag sure to either bring back fond memories of eating Swedish meatballs or horrible flashbacks to melting down in the outrageously long checkout line. It has a zipper so it's actually a practical coin purse!
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
Get it from Amazon for $4.15.
26. A TonyMoly banana hand lotion offering a shot of moisturizing vitamin A and banana extract to help keep your hands feeling soft and smelling amazing. Bananas are nature's perfect handheld treat, so it makes sense to replicate the shape for an easy-to-pack hand lotion.
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
Get it from Amazon for $8.50 (also available in a mango and strawberry versions).
27. A miniature wacky waving inflatable tube man in case you wanna grow up to be a used Hot Wheels salesman and need something to draw in new customers.
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
Get it from Amazon for $11.66.

28. A pair of socks featuring Kevin spilling chili that you can look at for comfort whenever you think you had a bad day.
29. Colourpop's Shrek Ultra Glossy Lip with movie-accurate flavors like chocolate mud pie, pina colada, waffle, and blueberry muffin. These ogre-approved sheer shades are made with hyaluronic acid, plum kakadu, and sweet cherry oil to make your lips as drenched as a swamp.
30. A "Meowdy" door mat so guests know that in this house, we say, "get along lil' kitties."
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
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
31. A pack of edible bubbles that taste like sweet treats like cotton candy, watermelon, and cinnamon rolls — a HUGE step up from the normal soap flavor.
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 $29.90 (available in four other flavor packs).
32. A Froot Loops–inspired rollerball perfume if you're looking for a cozy, sweet scent that will bring anyone who smells you back to watching Saturday morning cartoons. The nostalgic blend of tart lemon, warm toasted wheat, and floral notes will make breakfast lovers everywhere swoon.
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
Get it from Amazon for $10.39.
33. A potato couch cooler — a cuddly friend that will hang out with you and provide snacks on demand. The couch potato can fit up to six canned drinks, has two storage pockets, and sports a handy bottle opener attachment.
34. Pasta-shaped chip clips for snacking that's pasta-tively adorable. Imagine using these to keep your leftover penne fresh. 🥹
35. A croissant-inspired perfume so popular, the small size has already sold out several times (fear not: It's back now). The decadent scent smells like bread, wild berry jam, toasted vanilla, and a hint of sandalwood. YES, I do want to smell like breakfast, tysm.
