Tooting Santa, Strange Turtle Notes, Featured Items, and more!
Just when you thought Alethea's Little Shop couldn't get any weirder...
😊 You’re going to want to read all the way to the end of this one. I promise. 😂
I’ve been beating myself up about how I can’t seem to find the time to create weekly emails telling everyone all the cool new items I’m always adding to Alethea’s Little Amazon Shop — it’s no fun testing out all this stuff if I can’t share it with my friends!
So imagine my surprise when I opened my email today to find this new feature: if you press the FOLLOW button on my Little Shop storefront, you will automatically get an email every week with a round-up of all the shiny new bits of nonsense. BOOM! Thanks, Murphy!
I will still try to send out periodic emails that include the particularly fun and strange items (like this Santa—HA!—or this turtle) and any FEATURED ITEMS. Featured items in the shop are all items where I make an extra bonus on sales (thank you, manufacturers!).
All of these items are something that I (or one of the writing coven) have personally received and reviewed. I won’t post every one of those reviews here—y’all can always click through to the listings to see what I’ve said.
Tooting Santa and the Strange Note
i may be the Queen of Bubbles on TikTok, but Tempest had to go and get this Santa bubble machine that blew all my other bubble machines away… 😂 If you’ve got a White Elephant party to attend this season, we can assure you will be the talk of the night with this guy!
Read the rest of her hilarious review—and watch the video! YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO—here.
Look, all I expected to get was an incense burner shaped like a cute turtle. And I got it! I was super happy with it! But then the MOUGIGI Collective (all these drop-shippers are assigned random Scrabble-letter names) had to go and make it weird with all their talk of “transit chaos” and “smoke like whispered poetry.”

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Featured Items 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This nice, hard travel case doesn’t necessarily have to be for a Sony ZV-1/ ZV-1F/ ZV-1 II Camera (for instance, it fits my tiaras rather nicely)
This Magsafe phone mount for the CD player slot that charges the phone AND has a built-in cooling fan totally answered my long-haul driving adventure prayers! (Seriously. I love this thing. It’s exactly what I needed!)
These vintage blue-and-gold butterfly bookends actually look pretty great
This black Frida-esque floral floormat was exactly what my guest bathroom needed.
My mother and sister both LOVED these gold-lined floral wall stickers I put in the library!
I got this black-and-white bare tree shower curtain for winter, but the artsy folks in my family all gushed about it!
This 2026 Vintage font desk calendar was the delightful spot of Victoriana I didn’t realize was missing in my office
This J and Case RGB fairy tale castle nightlight with a solar sensor so it only comes on at night—I love the blue
This USB-C/lightning charger cable that looks like a candy necklace is totally coming storm chasing with me—Chris will never mistake it for hers, that’s for sure! 😂
This super cute bunny neck massager is supposed to be some sort of medical device for children and is totally not a vibrator. Totally.
