The weekend is within reach...let these little splurges make getting there more fun.

Happy Birthday Box, $9. This is the under-$10 birthday gift that works for everyone--provided they’re under the age of 100. The top of the box has “99” written in what look like digital clock numbers, so you can mark out the necessary parts with a black Sharpie to personalize the recipient’s age.

Dogbrella, $30. Yes, other dogs will think your pup’s a diva when they see her strutting down the street with her own personal umbrella (it’s built into the leash). But just think: No messy shake-off once Fido gets back in the house.

Pumpkin Gutter, $10. This weekend, when you’re staring down a thick-skinned pumpkin you want to turn into a jack-o-lantern, bring in the big guns, aka this tool. It fits into any standard drill and quickly cleans out the squash. Plus, it keeps your hands out of the slime, so you don’t mess up that candy-corn manicure.

Gummylamp, $28. All of the cuteness, none of the stomachache. Squeeze this giant Gummybear’s belly and a high-powered LED light switches on, illuminating the immediate space around you.

Glass-Cleaning Brush, $8.50. Hard-to-remove lipstick marks lift right off of wine glasses with this dual foam brush, which hugs the glass’s rim to remove smudges, yet is gentle enough for your thinnest Champagne flute.
