Never Leave Your Phone Behind
There are only so many hours in the day, and using those hours as wisely as possible is always a challenge. There’s a place for everything in life, even watching TV, but adding your TV-watching to your shower routine is one of the simplest ways to maximize the time you’ve got in the rest of your day. Plus, it makes your shower far more entertaining!
The Ultimate Cup Holder
Speaking of multi-tasking! If you find some time to sit down and enjoy a little uninterrupted TV time, you don’t want to do it without this cup holding tray! There’s a place for your phone to wirelessly charge, to put your drink, to keep your snacks, and to stash your remote. You honestly couldn’t ask for more.
Entertain Your Frentic Feline
Cats are one of the greatest gifts of life, but what they’re NOT is calm. And because they’re not calm, they tend to want to sink their claws into everything and to run around, leaping off furniture. Mitigate they damage they do to your furniture and control the heights from which they jump with this trippy and adorable cat tree and scratching post!
A Stunning Set of Wine Glasses
Wine glasses are one of those things that could really make or break the dining experience when you’re entertaining. You don’t just want the glasses to be big enough for heavy pours but also stylish enough to shock and awe your guests. This unbelievable set of fall-colored wine glasses manages to do it all!
Get “Real Weird With It“
Danny DeVito is one of the funniest humans in the world; we can all agree on that, but who would expect to see Danny’s face on a pillow? No one! Which is what makes this hilarious sequin pillow so delightful. It’s just the perfect pop of humor to add to your living room that your guests will go crazy for.
Can We Tempt You?
Cheese – it’s pretty dang delicious, and we all know it! But for those of us who are lack-toes in-toddler-pants, we know that just because cheese is delicious doesn’t mean it’s for us. But every time we see it, it’s like a little devil sitting on a slice of Swiss asking us if we’d like any. How do we say no!?
“Always Buzzing Just Like Neon“
John Mayer references aside, this neon sign is one of those things we’re surprised the world hasn’t discovered yet! You can customize this sign for your wedding, parties, or photoshoots, but not just what the neon says – you can also customize the color and the font for a neon sign that’s perfect for you.
“You Know You Bad When You Can Lash at Any Angle”
Is that the correct quote? No! But it’s hilarious because this angled mirror is designed to give you the full view of your face so you can perfectly place your lashes the FIRST time you try your hand at it. It’s honestly one of the most genius makeup gadgets we’ve seen in quite a long time and we think everyone should have one!
It’s the Pillow That Smiles Back
It’s not a snack, but it DOES smile back! This adorable novelty pillow is one of those things that’s just plain fun.

Rock Out With Your… Well… Rock Out in the Shower
It’s far more PG to tell you to rock out in the shower, and it gets the same message across! When you bring this waterproof Bluetooth shower speaker into your bathroom, you’re able to turn your shower experience into a rock ‘n’ roll experience. Less relaxin’ and more maxin’ or something like that.
Embrace the Change
These lip balms aren’t just incredibly hydrating; they’re also color changing! This fun, long-lasting lip balm changes color according to the moisture and temperature of your lips, which keeps you guessing about just how it might come out. Plus, they look stunning before you even open them up!

The teeth are designed to grip those loose strands and keep them secure to keep your bathtub clean and hair-free.
The LEGO Succulents Didn’t Get Enough Excitement
Everyone’s always so excited about LEGO and what they’ve created, but this succulent set hasn’t been nearly as popular as we think it should have been! Because it’s not just a fun set to put together, but it’s also gorgeous statement decor that you can keep on display for years and years to come.
The Smartest Pillow Ever
No, it’s not what you think; this isn’t technically a smart pillow. But we think the design is absolutely brilliant! This wedge pillow is designed to cover up the gap between your headboard and your mattress so you can prevent the dreaded dropping of the pillows (or worse, the dropping of the phone!) and all the discomfort that comes with it.
Breakfast In Tiffany’s
Tiffany’s blue, that is. This breakfast-making station does everything you need – you can grill up your breakfast meats, cook up eggs, toast your favorite bread, and even make pancakes if you like a sweeter breakfast. And it looks adorable while you use it, too. What more could you need?

Your cup may runneth over a little bit, but when you’ve got these cactus coasters, you can protect your counters, coffee tables, and bedside tables from spills or condensation. And when you’re done with them, you stack them all up into a gorgeous cactus that just looks fun wherever you put it.
Bento Boxes for Grown Ups
There are no rules, y’all! You can eat out of Bento boxes designed for kids, of course, but for those of us who have cruel coworkers (even if it’s just your cat while you work from home), they’ve created these fantastic grown-up Bento boxes that you can even reposition and realign when you need different sorts of space.
Keep It Zen
Everything should be zen in your life! Even your sink, believe it or not! It might look like this sponge holder is designed just to keep your sponge up and out of the gross, wet bottom of your sink, but really, its true purpose is to put a smile on your face. This holder elevates your sponge to new heights.
Nothing Like a Big Bowl of Wax in the Morning
This might look like cereal, but let the headline warn you! This is actually a gorgeous candle in a bowl that just happens to look like cereal.

From the record player holder to the anti-skid bottoms on the vinyl, these are some of the coolest, chicest conversation pieces for your home. They just look cool and kitschy – like something you’d definitely see in Lorde’s apartment.
You’ve Heard of Fries for the Table But Have You Heard of Fries for the Car?
Girl dinner is fries for the table and a lil bowl of noodles. But what if you’re not at a table? With this cup holder extender, girl dinner can be wherever you want it to be!

Take a Leaf From Our Book
This set of leafy trivets isn’t just cute; it’s also super helpful! When you pop these under your pots and pans, you can protect your tables and counters from damaging heat.

This trippy mushroom chain is one of those things that just makes you smile. It doesn’t do anything; it doesn’t help make your life easier, but it DOES look incredibly cute, and it DOES make you look like you’re hip and in touch with the youth, even if you usually feel like the Steve Buscemi GIF.
Swing Low, Sweet Hammock Swing
Or high, honestly! Though, maybe not too high. This hammock swing is comfortable and cute and can go pretty much anywhere in your house. It looks especially fun in your living room if you prefer a non-traditional sort of seating arrangement. It can hold up to 320 pounds and anchors deep into your ceiling for ultimate safety.
