As 2022 comes to an end, it’s always fun to look back on where the year has taken us. One way to get a sense of the prevailing trends is to see what products everyone wanted over the past 365 days. From artsy McDonald’s Happy Meal toys to Target-brand birds that are TikTok sensations, there’s a lot that we loved this year.

Collaborations represented some of the most sought-after products in 2022. One of our favorite partnerships involved Adidas and The Simpsons. Marge Simpson, the iconic matriarch, was reimagined in the form of an Adidas Superstar shoe with her blue hair incorporated into the texture of the sneaker. Another collaboration saw Takashi Murakami's colorful art on a limited edition UNO card deck. It transformed the game into something as whimsical as the artist is, with all of the pieces decorated in the Superflat art style made famous by Murakami in 2001.

Those collaborations were far from all that enthralled us this year. Scroll down to see our picks for the kitchen, toys and games, and much more.

Here are 50 creative products that represent the best 2022.

 

For the Kitchen

Often, our kitchens are an extension of ourselves. From drippy pots to coffee mugs with pretzel handles, there are many fun ways to display your personality through kitchen items. One bar of soap called the Sinking Feeling Soap even reveals its mood the more that you use it. (It goes from happy to sad.)
