32 Products For Anyone Who’s A Grown-Up Who Refuses To Be *Too* Grown Up

1. Crocodile veggie chopper so you can pretend to be Robert Irwin taming a wild croc when it’s time to meal prep. CRIKEY, it’s fun to SMACK down an onion! This comes with four attachments for different-sized dices and even a spiral blade if you’re into the zoodle trend.

Promising review: “The best tool set I have found. The design is so cute, and all of the attachments are fantastic. Lightweight and easy to store if needed. Whether it’s slicing veggies or fruits, or mincing garlic and onion, it really works well! So easy to clean. Blades are SUPER sharp, so be careful.” —Amazon Customer

2. A ~too real~ shirt, if you’ve ever wished there was a manual on how to be an adult especially after calling your dad for the tenth time to ask how to change your oil. It’s my first time on earth so be patient with me.

3. A Sparkle Syrup from Runamok for a true breakfast of champions — or more like magical pixies. Especially if you are not a morning person, this might actually have you looking forward to an early wake-up call. Pour it over waffles and pancakes, or even in your cocktails to make your own ~elixir~ that looks like Shrek’s love potion.

Amazon

Promising reviews: “The syrup brings a smile to my face, and then when you use it on your pancakes, it is so delicious, has that natural maple flavor, not artificial, very natural, and just the right amount of sweetness. The glitter just makes me smile!” —Kindle Customer

“I used to be a normal person. I’d pour regular maple syrup on pancakes like a peasant, not knowing that a sparkly revolution was waiting for me in a tiny, magical bottle from Vermont. Then someone gifted me a sampler of Runamok Sparkle Syrup. Cute, I thought. Novelty, I assumed. WRONG. That was the day my taste buds were bedazzled, and my breakfast standards skyrocketed beyond repair. This syrup glistens like it was hand-harvested from a unicorn’s tears. It turns pancakes into a party. Waffles into wizardry. Coffee? Now it’s a glittery potion of joy. I put it on fruit just to make it feel fancy. I even caught myself contemplating a drizzle on roasted carrots. (Don’t judge me, I didn’t do it. Yet.) Yes, it’s pricey. But so is therapy. And honestly, this syrup might be cheaper in the long run. Buy it. Ruin yourself for lesser syrups.” —Eric Williams

Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (also available in several non-sparkly flavors).

4. “Bold and Brash” throw blanket because the boring quilted throw you have on your couch is not proper representation of your child-like heart. After your tenth SpongeBob reference, your guest will understand why you own this.

Silver Buffalo is a small business that specializes in fandom-themed homeware and gifts. 

Promising reviews: “Super good quality. Very, very, very soft. Super good artwork, but keep in mind the blanket is thin.” —Michael Warren

“This blanket is SO soft and SO detail oriented. This blanket is both light weight and cozy at the same time (very helpful when sleeping because it feels so soft for the skin). Both the front and back of the blanket have the design. I’d love if it was a bit bigger, but honestly I’m so satisfied. This blanket does not at all shed! The design is so cute and intricate, I’d definitely recommend it as a gift to someone. Quality over quantity for sure !!” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 30+ other pop culture–themed styles).

5. A set of sheep toilet paper holders to keep you company while you… uhh… figure out your business. They won’t judge if you are just hiding away to get some alone time. Just stick the sheep’s head in the roll and place it on top of the legs for your own little flock that is ready whenever you need a restock.

Amazon

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

6. A hot dog sun catcher because nothing is more beautiful than a glizzy when the sun hits it just right. Literal chills thinking about a Costco $1.50 hot dog. This is exactly what your home was missing and is clear representation of your one true love.

7. A *flower* toilet gel stamp to add some razzle dazzle to your favorite seat in the house. These help keep your toilet fresh by releasing cleaning gel and aromas every time you flush — looking so cute while doing it, might I add. It literally looks like fairies left you a little surprise.

Aromas include lemon, rose, jasmine, and more. 

This kit also comes with five colors! 

Promising reviews: “My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh.” —Christin

“This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through several flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!” —SimpleStyleMe

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets).

8. A rainbow Cuisinart knife set that’ll satisfy your “adult” color-coding side, while also still adding some Rainbow Dash magic to your kitchen. Plain black and silver is soooooo last year. 

The knives, each of which is a different color of the rainbow

It includes a chef’s knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, a santoku knife, and covers for each. Unfortunately, the knives don’t come with a holder, but you can check out this easy-to-set-up magnetic bar for knives that is similar to the reviewer’s above. 

Promising review: “This is my best buy of the month and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I’ve had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they’re colorful because I’ve already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don’t have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn’t have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives.” —GWP

Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $39.

9. A ~berry-licious~ candle warmer to live your Strawberry Shortcake dreams. We can’t all live in a huge strawberry house, but we can sure match the vibe. This has a dimmable light and timer feature so you can stare at its glow all night without fear of an open flame or needing to get out of your blanket cocoon to turn it off.

Get it from Amazon for $31.99.

10. Or a little tomato light that *psst* is very similar to the one from Urban Outfitters, but for half the price. This is a statement piece that screams ~cool~ but is also a perfect representation of your favorite …veggie? …or fruit? Whatever it is, it’ll look so cute on your coffee table.

Promising review: “Saw Urban Outfitters had a tomato lamp for $100 and said hell naw. But then this lamp came along from the Amazon gods for just under $30 and no way I could pass up such a sick lamp. Smaller than anticipated but it’s immaculate. Runs almost everyday/all day and has been doing great for a year now. Remote has never failed me yet (knock on wood).” —Samantha L.

Get it from Amazon for $26.90.

11. A set of nostalgic Paul Frank dermaplaning razors to throw you back to the days of gaucho pants and wearing way too much cucumber melon. These will give you nostalgia whiplash, while still being super handy for when you need to clean up some peach fuzz or shape your brows. Bonus, they are retractable, so you can throw them in your bag without fear of nicking yourself when you reach in.

Promising review: “Travel with ease!! Before this product, I would take all my supplement bottles with me in my purse, which took up an unnecessary amount of room. Now with this product, I can travel easily with all my daily supplements. Takes up minimal space in my purse and actually encourages me to take my daily supplements. Not to mention, I love the color and style. Can fit up to 9 of my largest-size capsules.” —Kaci Allen

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in seven styles). 

13. A pillowy duck that’ll make you actually want to sit at your desk chair instead of on your bed (shocking, I know). It gives you that extra booty support to make any seat the best seat in the house. You’ll probably hear a few gasps when you take it in the office — everyone will be asking for a turn.

Amazon

Promising review: “This product is a little smaller than maybe what I was expecting. But, 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 chair. 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 $34.99.

14. A sardine tin cosmetic bag to keep all your “fishies” in row and by “fishies” I mean loose bobby pins, lip gloss, or even your spare change that jingles in your purse. This will help keep you organized and look so cute while doing it. Especially for my peeps who have fallen into the sardines trend, this is an obvious *add to cart*.

Get them from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three styles and three pack sizes).

16. A pickle wine stopper because on top of being a “responsible adult,” you also identify as a “pickle girl.” It’s a badge you wear with pride. It will keep your wine ~dill-icious~ while getting a chuckle when you pull it out at your next dinner party.

17. A “retro” pop phone with a USB-C cable to plug in your phone, laptop, or tablet, so you can lighten up those boring work calls and pretend you’re back in middle school gossiping with your bestie. Just make sure you don’t say “shut up, no way!!” to your boss.

Promising review: “My whole family is a fan of The Office, so when I was searching for a magnet we could use on our dishwasher, this was the hands-down winner. Does it go with my farmhouse decor? Nope, not at all. But it does get the attention of two teenage boys. Had I gone with something a bit more my decor style, I can guarantee you it would not be as useful. I mean, we all would much rather see Prison Mike staring back at us than suit and tie Michael Scott, right? And there is only one way for that to happen…clean out the dishwasher!” —R. Funk

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

20. snail hand soap dispenser that might actually remind everyone in your household that it’s fun (and necessary) to wash their hands. You can even fill it with dish soap because who can say no to washing dishes with “snail goo?”

Promising review: “In the week or so I’ve had this thing it has brought me so much joy. I’m always so excited for my snail to vomit on my dish scrubber, or my hand. It’s surprising how such a simple soap dispenser has changed my whole family’s life for the better. This was once a house where dishes were a hated chore. Now, it’s a blood bath to get anywhere near the legendary. 🐌” —Zoe Scoville

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors). 

21. A pack of Slop Tart Sponges to throw you back in time to when the best feeling in the world was seeing a Pop-Tart in your lunch box. Bring that feeling to the adult world with these cuties that will actually make you want to do the dishes and add some extra fun to your kitchen. It might also make you hungry, so I would add a box of the real stuff to the shopping list.

22. A mini inflatable tube guy that’ll give you the motivation you need to get through another week. It’s like having your own personal cheerleader right on your desk! You can even put it in your coworkers cubicle to give them a quick laugh that’ll make their day.

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

Get it from Amazon for $11.66

23. A strawberry jelly frog soap for a serotonin boost every time you go to the bathroom. You’ll probably over-wash your hands just to keep jiggling his little booty. Hey Siri, play “Wiggle Wiggle” by Jason Derulo.

Promising review: “Love these little guys! I don’t use them with delicate items, but for most everything else they work so well to fluff up clothes and ensure that everything gets dry (especially when you tend to overload your dryer like me). Such a fun, cute design too! I can’t help but smile when I toss them in the dryer. I kept one and gave the other to my daughter, who also loves them.” —janetjw

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

31. A pack of Goldfish magnets so you can stick pictures, kid artwork, and reminders to your fridge with your favorite “snack that smiles back.” You’ll probably actually look at your fridge to-do list with these little guys holding it up.
