Just because something looks weird at first glance doesn't mean it can't change your everyday life for the better. These Amazon finds are unapologetically quirky, but wildly practical once you give them a chance. They can solve oddly specific problems, streamline everyday annoyances, and make mundane tasks way more entertaining than they have any right to be. If you're into dopamine decor and kooky household items, look no further than this list fun and functional items.

The transaction involves the partial sale of his company, Step Distinctive Limited, to Rich Sparkle Holdings, a United States-listed firm that disclosed the acquisition alongside a broader strategic partnership focused on scaling Lame's commercial operations worldwide. Under the agreement, Rich Sparkle, through its operating partners, will hold exclusive rights to Khaby Lame's global commercial activities for an initial period of 36 months.

Custom drapery depends on a series of calculations that remain largely unseen. Measurements define scale. Yardage determines proportion. Fabric and lining affect weight, opacity, and movement. Much of this work takes place before a finished curtain ever comes into view. For Ray Chen, founder of TWOPAGES, an early mover in modern window-treatment solutions, this layered process became a point of focus.

The beginning of a new year can oftentimes bring about a frenzy of activity: setting resolutions, getting settled into your routines, and even planning trips for the months ahead. But as January comes to a close, now is the time to hold yourself to a stricter budget to make up for the chaos of the holidaysand we found a rare trove of items under $50 at REI that will satisfy your desire to buy.

Budget shouldn't mean boring, and sometimes, all it takes to totally flip the vibe of your space is a sneaky little upgrade that looks ridiculously expensive (but totally isn't). We're talking about genius fixes for droopy couches, must-have kitchen hacks, and decor pieces that scream "I hired a designer" without leaving your wallet on life support. Whether you want to add some drama to your doorstep, organize your chaos, or bring full-on luxury spa energy to your bathroom,

Amidst this trend, , a platform for buying and selling digital businesses, is rewriting the script and dismantling those barriers.

Millennials aren't picking up side hustles for the love of the game. Rising costs and stagnant wages have made extra income necessary. Many of these gigs look modest at first, but the numbers tell a different story. A lot of people are told to make content for everyone, which usually leads nowhere. Creators who earn consistently tend to do the opposite by narrowing their focus until viewers know precisely what problem they'll solve.

PayPal announced this morning its agreement to acquire Cymbio, a Tel Aviv-based multi-channel orchestration platform founded in 2015. Cymbio automates brand-to-retailer connectivity, managing product data, inventory synchronization, order orchestration, and billing. The platform enables brands to sell across agentic surfaces such as Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) Copilot and Perplexity, alongside traditional e-commerce channels. The deal builds on an existing relationship PayPal had with Cymbio to support its initial agentic commerce services, and PayPal Ventures invested in the company back in 2022.

Urban logistics is entering a new era where practical technology drives meaningful results. Today, more than 55% of people live in cities, and urbanization is expected to rise to 68% by 2050, placing intense pressure on delivery networks to keep up with growing demand. U.S. e-commerce is projected to reach $1.1 trillion in sales by 2026, heightening expectations for faster and more reliable last-mile service.

Silicon Motion Technology ( NASDAQ:SIMO) is a Hong Kong semiconductor firm that specializes in NAND flash controllers. These memory storage solutions are critical for the AI buildout, and investors have started to pick up on it. The company's stock has more than doubled over the past year and is up by more than 20% to start the year. Revenue increased by 14% year-over-year in Q3 2025, and most of the growth was driven by AI infrastructure.

The recent rise of AI may be controversial, but one thing is certain: it's here to stay. Ethical considerations aside, AI has quickly become a practical tool that everyday people are able use to earn extra income, even in retirement. From turning life experience into digital products to helping small businesses work smarter, AI could open doors to flexible, low-stress ways to make money without starting from scratch.

Valentine's Day is a notoriously difficult holiday to shop for, and whether you've been together for six months or six years, a romantic gesture that demonstrates your partner just gets it remains timeless. We think the right gift can communicate your feelings and intentions in ways words just can't, even if you are a poet. Sure, the best Valentine's gifts would traditionally include dark chocolate or bouquets and bubbly, but our design-oriented minds like to be a little less on-the-nose when it comes to our V-Day gifts.

where I worked in the early 2000s in its rather pioneering e-commerce business (which launched, among other things, the first click and collect service). Argos was jostling with Tesco for first place at Christmas, and I've found myself reflecting on why DTC has become such a major issue for several sectors that have not traditionally had a direct path to purchase over the last few years.

If you want to narrow your options down to bags suitable for a trip to Portland, Oregon in May, Al Mode will start a query fan-out, which means it runs several simultaneous searches to figure out what makes a bag good for rainy weather and long journeys, and then use those criteria to suggest waterproof options with easy access to pockets.

Specifically, the technology that helped retail brands sell unsold or excess products (off-channel inventory) wasn't as sophisticated as it could have been. Brands sell their excess inventory at discount retailers like Nordstrom Rack, but often lose money because managing unsold inventory is difficult. Products are spread across warehouses, and teams are left guessing the value of an item and when the best time to sell it is.

At some point, the industry stopped arguing about whether content drives commerce and started living in the reality where the two are indistinguishable. "Content, commerce and technology are really coming forward in a special way and recognition that there aren't disparate separate systems any longer," says Cara Pratt, president of global retail and media at Circana. "There really is one connected, cohesive, intelligent ecosystem that is fueling discovery, fueling conversion and purchase."

Setting aside a designated day to switch utility providers will pay dividends in the long run

It is the e-commerce giant's first sale event of the year, offering lucrative deals on a wide range of electronics, from smartphones and tablets to wearables and home appliances. If a new smartwatch or a pair of true-wireless-stereo (TWS) earphones are on your wishlist, then it is a great time to buy them at considerably lower rates than their usual market prices.

When you think about what we do, we facilitate payments all around the world, so that provides a really interesting data set across all sectors, across all countries, 220 countries and territories. Last year we're about 160 billion transactions through our network, so it does provide quite a unique view. The past holiday season, 3.9% was the year-over-year growth. So that's a strong holiday season. You think political uncertainty, you think trade alignments and all these kinds of things, but the consumer held up well.

With the spring approaching, it's time to start thinking about how you'll file your taxes. Unfortunately, with the recent demise of Direct File, there isn't a free, government-provided alternative to TurboTax in 2026, and you'll need to look to other federal programs, including IRS Free File, to file your paperwork. If you don't qualify for Free File, chances are you'll need to dish out cash for Intuit's software.
