    For Anyone Who Thinks Cuteness And Practicality Don't Go Together, Here Are 38 Products That Will Prove You Wrong

    If my cheese holder doesn't look like a lil' cow...I don't want it.

    1. A set of cat and mouse hooks that look like just like a box...until you place something on them and a cute lil' critter pops up and essentially says, "Welcome back!" Putting these right by your door will make coming home after a long day a little better.

    They have peel-and-stick application on the back, so they're best for light things. But if you want something a little stronger, you could always use Command strips

    Promising reviews: "These are so cute and easy to install. My husband always forgets to put his keys away so I got these to try to condition him into hanging them up. Now he has a little friend say hello when he gets home." —leaaffy

    "Bought this for college kiddo, and it’s received rave reviews. Loves them to bits, but swapped out the adhesive for Command strips per school policy. So cute!!" —at the lake

    Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick). 

    2. A cherry chomper to take ~a bite~ out of your cherries so you don't have to deal with doing it yourself.

    Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this thing. Every time my family loses it, I order another one. It gets 90% of the pits out the first time. We've had more expensive cherry pitters, and they haven't worked as well as this little guy." —Petebank

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    3. hydrating eye stick formulated with glacial waters, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, dimethicone, citric acid, and brown algae to help reduce under-eye circles and puffiness.

    Promising reviews: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone.

    Promising review: "I bought this dog doorstop for my 18-year-old granddaughter who just started college. She wanted a doorstop so she can keep her door open at times, and it’s a heavy door. This worked perfectly and she loves him. She calls him Lil' Ernie." —D. Jones

    Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

    7. A spoon rest so you don't get ~crabby~ when you have no place to set your spoon while cooking that won't make a mess in your kitchen. Reviewers also say it looks like this lil' guy is cheering you on as you cook! 

    Promising review: "I have absolutely no good reason for buying a small crab spoon holder. However, I find Sebastian to be delightful and happy. Even when he's not holding a spoon, he's functional — it looks like he's cheering me on when I cook! No, he doesn't always stay standing, and no, the spoon doesn't always fit seamlessly into his little claws, but I didn't expect him to be perfect. I love him, and I'm glad I live in a world where I can buy whimsical things for my kitchen. Happy day!" —Sarah

    top view of the daisy, showing how it has slits at the bottom that let the egg whites through

    Promising review: "This is a terrific little tool, and it works perfectly. I place it over a short drinking glass and crack an egg right into it. The white of the egg tends to hand down in one long 'stalactite,' but with a couple of shakes it plops neatly into the glass." —D. Rachlin

    Get it from Amazon for $12.90.

    12. A cactus humidifier because sitting at your desk when it's super dry out ~succs~, and you really shouldn't have to live that way.

    reviewer image of the holder in a pot of boiling water

    Promising review: "I love hard-boiled eggs, but it's always been a hassle to ever so gently lower them into a boiling pot of water with a spoon, then scoop them back into the now-wet carton to cool. This solves all those problems. You simply load the eggs in, lower into the boiling pot, pull back out, then store in your fridge. No more extra steps or gingerly lowering eggs into the pot.

    The container can hold up to 24 slices of cheese. 

    Promising review: "I had an old Kraft cheese container from decades ago that finally broke and I didn't think I would be able to find a replacement, but this is even better! My kids named it Daisy immediately. It is cute to have in the fridge or even bring out to the dinner table. Great quality and should last a long time." —Karen

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99. 

    16. An adorable octopus-shaped blackhead remover that actually works to pull out whiteheads, blackheads, and any other ~ink~ clogging up your pores. You may be disgusted by what the lil' cutie pulls out of your face, but you'll be so thankful it does.

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

    Promising review: "It does as it says it does, allowing my Dell XPS15 to operate a pair of USB devices from my lightning port! The laptop has two USB ports, one of which is always occupied by my USB mouse dongle and the other by my protected USB drive. If I wanted to plug in my phone to switch data or add another thumb drive to transfer a device, everything might have to be disconnected, but not anymore. It was really worth it." —Liberty

    Promising review: "I needed a spoon rest, but couldn't find one that looked like something that would fit my kitchen. Then I saw this one. It doesn't really fit my kitchen either, but how could I not buy this cool spoon rest? Whenever someone first sees it on my stove, they think it's real ravioli, haha. Oh yeah, it's also functional. It gives utensils a nice rest, and it hasn't burned nor melted." —Kesa

    Get it from Amazon for $8.40.

    20. A set of little sprout bookmarks you can ~plant~ into your current read so you know exactly where you left off. 

    Promising review: "I absolutely love these bookmarks! Even though they are pretty small, they stay in the book, either opened or closed. They are really soft and rubbery, so they won't crack or break very easily. I can foresee these lasting for a long time. Since they come in a package of six, I can not only have one for my book for reading, but I can place these in the pertinent chapters that I am studying in my textbooks as well. They really come in handy for that! These cute, little sprouts were a great treat for the little that I spent on them!" —Aimée le Huitième

    Promising review: “I bought this vacuum for my kids to suck up all of their pencil-erasings from the table. The kids enjoy using this little vacuum. It is very tiny, about 6 inches long, so it fits nicely on the table and doesn't take up space. The suction is great for such a tiny, battery-operated vacuum, and it is fairly quiet. It also does a great job sucking up crumbs and other tiny debris. The head pops off for easy emptying. For the price, it is a great little sucker. It is great to have on a desktop and looks adorable. I may get another for each of them to keep on their desks in their bedrooms.” —JoJo
