Sleepy Bucket Corgi
If you take a sleepy corgi and put it in a bucket, try not to wake it with your squees as it repeatedly slips into a puppy coma. After all, your level of joy is directly proportional to your ability to observe this phenomenon.

Creepy Condiment Containers
When I was a kid, dolls with sleep eyes were all the rage. These days, I guess it's all about mustard and ketchup with sleep eyes. I'm not entirely sure this product is a good idea, but if you want to own a set, they retail for $24. (From, via.)

The Best of Otamatone
Otamatones are musical toys that are an equal mix of adorable and annoying.

Here are some of the best songs played on Otamatones. Trust me when I say you don't want to go looking for the worst.
