01

This Cool-Mist Cactus-Shaped Humidifier That Doesn’t Make Any Noise

The fun and ironic thing about this cool-mist cactus humidifier is that its main job is to moisturize your space to prevent dry, stuffy air… but it’s a cactus, and cacti live in dry, stuffy air. The humidifier is small and portable, it has a four-hour auto shut-off, and unlike many other humidifiers, this one is completely silent.

02

This Large Floor Pillow With So Many Uses

There are multiple ways to use this large and cozy floor pillow. You can use it as a place to meditate, read a book, or watch TV. You can also purchase multiple pillows and place them on a window bench to create a comfortable seating area.

03

This Genius Nylon Art Supply Storage Bag That’s Great To Bring On The Go

Bring this mini nylon storage bag on the go to keep your kiddos busy. Pack it with art supplies, Legos, cars, or other small toys.

The bag can be tucked away and stored in the car or a closet when it isn’t being used.

04

This Set Of Realistic Flameless Candles With A Remote Control

At quick glance, it’s near-impossible to notice that these flameless candles aren’t actual flames, because they really do look realistic. The wax, however, is real and the lights flicker, mimicking real flames. Three candles in various sizes come in the set along with a remote control that lets you turn them on or off, set a timer, and dim the brightness.

05

This Popular Laundry Detergent Dispensing Station With A Soap Catcher

Instead of manually tilting your detergent every time you do laundry, place it on this laundry detergent holder so it’s always ready to go. It’s angled at a downward slope for easy pouring and comes with a strap so the bottle doesn’t slide around.

06

This Leaf-Shaped Soap Dish That Self Drains

Perfect for the shower or next to a sink, this leaf-shaped soap dish features a downward slope that allows it to self-drain. It doesn’t just hold soap, however.

07

This Adorable Ladle That Can Stand On Its Own

Not only does this Nessie-shaped ladle look adorable when it’s standing tall, it can stand completely on its own, making less of a mess on your countertops. The plastic ladle, which is much easier to spot than the mythical creature itself, is just as practical as it is cute, standing tall in a pot when soup isn’t being served. Nessie comes in several colors and two size options.

08

This Hanging Laundry Hamper That’ll Save So Much Floor Space

This hanging laundry hamper can be hung in a closet to save floor space.

10

11

This Crib Mattress Protector With A Zipper Closure
