Usually, routers/modems are ugly, but this one is cute, petite, and functional. I bought it for my studio, and Bob gives me a good Wi-Fi connection, and he's cute to look at! Also, the setup website is adorable and minion themed!" —E Get it from Amazon for $79.49+ (available in two styles). Promising review: "This planter exceeded my expectations! It's absolutely gorgeous. I got the Giant size (12 inches), and surprisingly, it is very lightweight. I love how glossy the paint looks, really makes this piece pop in my kitchen!" —TL The kit comes with the giant bubble wand, two pouches of bubble concentrate, and a booklet to help you become a skilled bubble creator! It's my family's #1 favorite summer activity. It's easy enough for our toddler to make giant bubbles with a little help. She loves chasing them, and it always brings a big crowd of kids over to play! Promising review: "Love this!! Easy for kids to use — my six-year-old son figured it out pretty quickly — and fun for adults as well (my husband and I might have played with it as much as our son did...) Makes amazing bubbles. The bubble mix it comes with is fantastic." —Thomas Durant Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in seven styles). This lightweight woven rattan shelf can either be hung on a wall or stand on its own. It has a natural finish and includes hardware if you chose to hang it. Ban.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. Promising review: "Very dainty and caviar-esque. I love it! I have to be delicate with this piece, as I don’t want to break it. It’s beautiful, easy to clean, and just freaking cute." —Diamond Girl Get it from Ban.do on Amazon for $39.95. This blanket *delivers* folks. I don't know how they were able to make a blanket this soft, light, and stretchy. I own this and I can easily tuck myself into it and I feel like a swaddled newborn. I really, really value this brand and I can't recommend this blanket enough! Promising review: "The blanket is as advertised! It is super soft and the colors are true to the website image. Love, love!" —Angie S. Get it from Geometry for $89+ (available in two sizes and in several styles). Noreservationssk is a small business based in Syosset, New York. You can find a bunch of fun embroidered pieces and wine topper charms! Promising review: "These napkins are Fabulous!! Great quality!...cheeky and fun!! Can't wait to use them at my next get together!!!" —Lynn Turner Get a set of 12 from Noreservationssk for $180 (available in seven embroidery colors). Putting those teenage compliments aside (just kidding, I could NEVER), I really recommend these. Have you ever had an article of clothing that you can't get yourself to stop wearing? Because that's what is happening to me with these pants. The fabric is durable and stretchy. I knew I really loved these when I started wearing them instead of sweats when working from home. They're that comfortable. The design is striking without being "too much," which mostly means they can be an everyday statement piece. Aaand back to what really matters...they get complimented a lot. I love going out in these. They're clearly high quality and will last for ages. Which is great, because I plan on keeping them for...ever. Promising review: "Exquisite. The pants feel elegant for a jean material and have a very rich quality. It makes you look like one million bucks. You’re definitely gonna feel like it." —April W. Get them on sale from True Religion for $92 (originally $184; available in women's sizes 24–34). I impulse-bought this as an activity to do with my husband when my daughter was six months old. I'm not crafty, so heaven knows this kid isn't getting a scrapbook. Because of this lack of creativity, I've looked for different ways to mark memories with my baby. This kit provides step-by-step instructions, plenty of paint, and it's designed to easily wipe off so folks can try more than once. Although we did it in one go. Sure, it could have come out a little crisper if we'd tried it twice, but life's messy. And I love our little family's smudges. Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "A really fun, WELL-MADE, LEGO botanical kit. I always use the lego builder app which makes the instructions clearer. Really enjoyed putting this together. A good size and great value for the money." —Amazon Customer According to the shop, "Many species of wasp are territorial and won't build their nests near another colony. These are meant to fool the wasps into thinking that another colony got there before them." Granny Geek's is a Georgia-based Etsy shop owned by Theresa, selling helpful 3D-printed tools. Promising review: "Perfect! Durable and unique item! We wanted to avoid mass-produced decoys, which are unsightly and flimsy. Instructions and helpful tips were provided both digitally and with physical items. Especially appreciate the eco-friendly, low-plastic packaging!" —Gina Harlow Get it from Granny Geek's for $7.99 (available in four colors). This includes three dessert-holding bases. To use, you'll toss the bases into your freezer for 24 hours filled with the ingredients you chose. After the wait is up, the top works like a customizable immersion blender, easily mixing together your icy treat! P.S. I own this and can confidently say it's the reason I get to have homemade ice cream now. My kitchen is way too small for another appliance. Once I discovered this ice cream maker, I knew I needed it. It takes up basically no space, but it's dang powerful. Delicious. Promising review: "I LOVE this machine! I had a Ninja Creami and returned it. It was way too bulky on my counter and wouldn't fit under the cabinets. And it was SO LOUD! It drove me nuts to use it. It was also more expensive. I ended up buying this as a replacement, and I am so happy that I did. You get three cups, and the machine fits in a drawer — not taking up space on the countertop! I have rheumatoid arthritis and was worried that it would be tough pushing down or pulling up on the handle while it mixes. That isn't the case at all! I can do it with one hand super easy! I would highly recommend this, and I would definitely buy it again!" —A. Legate Get it from Amazon for $115.61+ (available in two sizes). This is such a hit gift! From a mother who genuinely loves getting candles and bath salts, and blankets...this one is a slam dunk for Mother's Day. Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and nine styles). You'll get one of seven designs. Also, you'll need a 1GB–128GB TF memory card, since one is not included in the package. Promising review: "It's such a fun and simple design that you really will be taking photos of everything with it when you first get it." —Hannah Vo It comes with the air fryer, one 6-quart glass container, one 2.5-quart glass container, a removable base, two crisper plates, two storage lids, and a chef-inspired recipe book. Promising review: "This Ninja Crispi Pro blew me away. I’ve owned a lot of kitchen gadgets over the years, but this one instantly became a top-tier favorite. It’s powerful, it’s simple, and everything about it just works. The controls are easy to understand, the performance is consistent, and the food comes out perfect every single time — crispy where it should be crispy, juicy where it should be juicy. I use it for quick meals, full dinners, reheats…everything. It saves time, keeps the kitchen clean, and honestly makes cooking fun again. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. If you’re thinking about getting one, don’t hesitate. It’s absolutely worth it." —Darnell Get it from Amazon for $279.95+ (available in five colors). The stroller itself feels premium all on its own (it even has a five-point safety harness), easily navigating through airport security *and* city streets once folks hit their destination. Their kid will be genuinely comfortable, as it reclines from 99 degrees to 126 degrees and both the backrest and seat expand as children grow. As if that wasn't enough...the *sun canopy* is water repellent, detachable, and provides UPF 50 protection. I've talked too much already, but I own this, and I think every parent should. The end. Promising review: "This is the perfect stroller and carry-on for my kid. I've used it many times and have no complaints. It's easy to open and close, my kids' clothes fit just fine, and the best part? It fits in the overhead bin. Five stars." —Joe Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl-giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin "This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through multiple flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —SimpleStyleMe Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets). Promising review: "The special edition is so pretty! I’m a huge Twilight fan, so when I saw those magic reveal edges, I knew I had to have this. It’s honestly even better in person. Is it very Twilight aesthetic? Not really, but it’s so pretty I don’t even care. 🫣 I love the girly flower pop feel." —Jessica Promising review: "I used to be a normal person. I’d pour regular maple syrup on pancakes like a peasant, not knowing that a sparkly revolution was waiting for me in a tiny, magical bottle from Vermont. Then someone gifted me a sampler of Runamok Sparkle Syrup. Cute, I thought. Novelty, I assumed. WRONG. That was the day my taste buds were bedazzled, and my breakfast standards skyrocketed beyond repair. This syrup glistens like it was hand-harvested from a unicorn’s tears. It turns pancakes into a party. Waffles into wizardry. Coffee? Now it’s a glittery potion of joy. I put it on fruit just to make it feel fancy. I even caught myself contemplating a drizzle on roasted carrots. (Don’t judge me, I didn’t do it. Yet.) Yes, it’s pricey. But so is therapy. And honestly, this syrup might be cheaper in the long run. Buy it. Ruin yourself for lesser syrups." —Eric Get it from Amazon for $20.49 (also available in several non-sparkly flavors). Promising review: "I brought this with me on a camping trip in the Colorado mountains. Once the hummingbirds discovered the feeder, they were around it constantly. After one day, they would come to the single-ring feeder held in our hands. It was so fun getting to see the hummingbirds up close." —Debbie B. Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in eight colors and in sets). Promising review: "Gorgeous. It matches my original Spice Village so well. It looks beautiful on my table." —SW You can also get a sconce, table lamp, and floor lamp version of the light. Get it from West Elm for $249 (available in three colors). This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. DO NOT put this in the water with you (for so many reasons), but it's totally okay if it gets a little water on it as long as it doesn't fall in. Whether on top of your shower or on a bathroom sink, it's gonna be bright enough to light up your life. Hear one TikToker's thoughts on the shower lamp here. Promising review: "I bought this for my bathroom because the one light is super bright and it's too much in the mornings. I still needed some light, so I looked into a lamp like this over some kind of night light or plug-in lamp. I bought this because the reviews were promising, and so far I'm really happy. I charged it when it arrived a week ago, and haven't needed to charge it again yet. I love the warm, but not yellow-y light it emits. The lamp also seems really sturdy, as if I knocked it off the counter, it would be fine. The dimming function is great, no flickering, and I'm really happy the lamp 'remembers' the brightness level it was last on. It says waterproof, and I haven't tested that, but the charging port plug seems to seal really well, so I'm not nervous to have it on the bathroom counter or right next to the shower. My one complaint is that the wood grain color appeared different on my computer than in real life, and it's a little more reddish in person. However, I like this lamp so much I've been moving it to my desk to use in the evenings, so I may just buy another one that matches my bathroom better and leave the wood colored one at my desk." —Syd Smith Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors). BTW, each pack includes adjusters in case your candle holders run large. Promising review: "These are multi-functional, timeless, and well-made. I’ve been using both of these personally and for my company, and I can’t recommend them enough. These vases are a key part of how we display florals in our tablescapes. I love that you can put them into any candle holder and it changes the whole vibe! We use them for both faux and real florals. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and style, and I can always count on them to elevate our designs. Highly recommend! I personally have 12, and I’d love to see these come out in larger sets!" —Sasha Pintos Get a box of three from Amazon for $30 (available in two colors). Check out a TikTok of the KitchenAid shave ice attachment in action. This attachment is compatible with all KitchenAid mixers. And don't forget to grab some syrups and sweetened condensed milk while you're at it! Promising review: "Don’t bother wasting your money on other kitschy snow cone makers. If you have a KitchenAid, get this. It’s fabulous! My daughter uses this almost daily!! It’s a great little gadget if you love snow cones." —Jennifer Promising review: "I just love this. It offers me some reassurance as she learns her balance on a board and gives me control so she doesn't start off by going too fast." —Sabrena Donohoe Get it from Ookkie for $139.99 or from Amazon for $149.99 (available in six colors). Knot Maille is a small business specializing in 3D-printed and chainmail creations. Promising review: "Love these shower curtain clips. They’re so cute and add a wonderful pop of color." —Kaylin Martin Get it from Knot Maille on Etsy for $14.99+ (available in several color packs). This comes with a five-year warranty. If you want a long-lasting option that also LOOKS lovely, you can't top this. There are so many colors to choose from, you're sure to find the one that makes you smile the most when you greet it in the morning. Promising review: "I thought I made a decent cup of pour-over coffee. I thought so until I had my first cup from this machine! It’s incredibly smooth and delicious. I don’t have time for manual pour-over in the morning, but I didn’t want cheap drip coffee. This maker fits the bill! So quick and easy to use. The price was my holdout for a while, but I’m so glad I bit the bullet and bought it. I’m the only coffee drinker in my house, and I make just one cup per day. Very happy with it!" —Lindsey Stout Get it from Amazon for $308.95+ (available in 23 colors). Promising review: "This was so easy to put together! It's awesome, looks exactly as pictured. It had great instructions and took me like 20 minutes to put it together. I am super impressed with the quality and how easy the whole thing has been. I highly recommend." —Bernadette Felice Get it from Amazon for $49.97+ (available in nine colors). Promising review: "This is just like the photos! It's a fun decoration for our kitchen. It looks just like the photos! Every time you take a tissue out, Marilyn’s dress changes to something different." —Hippie Artist Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes and four styles). Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! This is the most important piece of skincare in my life. It's so small and lightweight that I treat it like ChapStick — I have one in my medicine cabinet *and* in every one of my bags. Which is a great thing, since sunscreen is such a crucial part of our skincare routine. This makes it easy to reapply regularly. There's no mess or product to smooth out; it just gives your face a dewy, hydrated glow. AND that's the other reason this is my #1 — it's the best moisturizer. I can't believe how hydrated my skin feels when I use this, and I'm always delighted by how good it looks. Seriously, this is top-tier makeup, sun care, and moisturizer all in one. Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen, and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin, and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin; like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina Get it from Amazon for $16.46 (available in two styles). This is battery-operated and won't require an outlet. It's touch sensitive, just give its face a tap, and it'll turn on/off. The head can also bend slightly to either side. Promising review: "Love this long guy. He was easy to put together and looks great anywhere he fits. The light is soft and warm and turns off after 15 minutes." —Aimee BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
