I'm a Shopping editor (and mom to two toddlers) who covers a variety of topics, including helpful parenting/kids products, exciting gadgets, cozy products (think: home goods and fashions that'll make you want to snuggle), and any magical Disney item that crosses my path. You know what day is a good day to spoil yourself with a little somethin' somethin'? Any day that ends in -Y. From faux peonies that'll stand the test of time and a trio of hypoallergenic gold-plated earrings to tie-dye Band-Aids and glittery highlighters, dive on in and buy yourself something just because! Craftmix is a small business that specializes in instant drink mixers. These are all vegan and gluten-free — all you have to do is add booze, water, or the seltzer of your choice! Reviewers also love it as a party favor. Promising reviews: "This was a perfect gift for my dad! He loves mixing up drinks and is celiac, so this was an absolute win since it’s gluten-free. It wasn’t expensive at all, and for a wide variety of flavors, it was a good value." —Bre Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 10 different flavors and a variety pack). There's also a fun diner mug with the same saying! I basically swim in the Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada lotion (it smells so freakin' good), so I jumped at the chance to try this jelly perfume stick. It most certainly did *not* disappoint. It takes two seconds to swipe a little on behind my ears and onto my wrists, the same spots I'd typically spray a perfume, and because it's a solid, I feel like the scent stays put longer. It's ridiculously easy to take on the go — it's the same size (if not smaller!) than a lip balm. I absolutely love it and will definitely be using it more throughout the summer to reapply as needed. Promising review: "I'm a sucker for solid perfumes, and so this caught my attention right away! It's way more solid than I expected, so it will definitely last a while. It's small and compact and perfect for your purse. Personally, I think the scent of this is stronger than the body spray version, which I absolutely love! If you're on the fence, I would definitely recommend getting this, it's absolutely worth it!" —Lexi Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in three scents). Promising review: "I use this daily before my moisturizer and it resolved my dry and oily issue. Flaky skin midday is gone. Wearing makeup at age 46 is getting tougher; now it doesn’t crease anymore. No longer need serums for my skin — just this mist, moisturizer, and sunscreen and I'm good to go! Skin is glowy and radiant! Ordered my second bottle, although my first one is still halfway through. LOVE IT!" —Gustavo A bunch of BuzzFeed writers are fans of Pavoi! BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has these Pavoi hoops and said, "Jewelry is not one of those things I like to splurge on, so when I found this budget-friendly pair, I decided to ~treat myself~. And wow, they look amazing in person! I'm sort of obsessed with this brand in general now (I wore one of their tennis bracelets to a wedding recently and got so many compliments!) and may finally be able to build up a collection of jewelry staples without going broke." Promising review: "I would absolutely purchase this again. I typically wear a stack of gold jewelry bracelets, and this was a perfect addition. I’ve been wearing mine for about five months now, and it still looks great. I’d recommend it." —sly123321 Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in four styles and a set of two). My coworker Emma Lord has and loves this: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!" Promising review: "Love this! Adds just a touch of color, which is what I wanted, and is nicely moisturizing, too." —Joan Modisette Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five shades). Dossier is a small business that specializes in alternative, affordable perfumes — check out the rest of their options on their Amazon storefront! I recently tried their Fruity Jasmine scent (which is inspired by Dior's J’Adore perfume) and basically want to soak my entire body in it. It smells absolutely divine and I can't wait to try out more of their scents. Promising review: "This smells so good. I get a bunch of compliments every time I wear it. The smell lasts for a while and it’s not too sweet like a lot of other vanilla scents I’ve had. It’s a cute, simple bottle with a magnetic lid. Perfect to put in your purse!" —Brianne Get it from Amazon for $28.94+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "These colors are beautiful and the sparkles are unreal! The glitter does rub off a bit, which some people might mind, but I don’t. I haven’t used them much, so I can’t speak to their longevity, but they are a gorgeous mix of vibrant and pastel colors, quick-drying, and the shine is even better in person." —Danae Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in four sets). Promising review: "Very cute designs. I love that it has different sizes. They stay on well and peel off easily without leaving a residue. Definitely will purchase again." —Amazon Customer Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $8.97 and be sure to check out the floral versions as well! Don't forget to snag a fresh colored pencil set or markers! Promising review: "Okay, so I’ve seen these on TikTok countless times and I’ve wanted this coloring book so so bad, so I finally got it! along with two more. I just have to say, GET IT. All the coloring pages are so so cuuuute. It’s very relaxing to just color them as well since they’re so easy. (I colored mine listening to Lana del Rey)" —Shamonique Chapman Promising review: "This is one of my favorite pair of jeans. I have been looking for something in this fit for some time now. I am usually a size 32, and quite curvy, which causes waist gaps in most jeans. So I ordered the 32 and 33. They both fit quite well. I went with the 33 because it’s longer and more roomy around my hips, and gives me the baggy fit I wanted. The cinch waist allowed me to cinch it. It really is perfect, and I just ordered this in another color." —Peace Get them from Amazon for $53.70+ (available in women's sizes 24–34 and four denims). Promising review: "Love these huggies. So cute and so many people ask where I got them. Love that each one has a different design. The closure on it is fabulous; it clicks in. I have been wearing them for a few months now, even in the shower and no tarnishing." —Nicole Forbeck Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five other sets) Reviewers especially love this lamp for small spaces, since it doesn't take up valuable surface area! Promising review: "I love the way the light looks and the many colors, but honestly, I love the flexibility of the neck. I can manipulate it to fit the function of what I am doing. I have used it as a reading light and a mood light by the bed. I had no problem reading my book at night. I have used it as a task light to do arts and crafts. More recently, I have used it at work and it now has a permanent spot at my desk. The light was a great value for the money for me." —Terese Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in two colors). Promising review: "Ordered these to our dining room table and they were perfect! Fit in our candle holders and the color was great. Love them and would purchase again." —Amazon Customer Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 (available in seven colors). Promising review: "I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" —T. Rune Get a set of two from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing). Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I have dry skin and often use various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT Promising review: "Um...WOW! I have used so many products to help with my dry, red, and inflamed skin. During the winter, it is so hard to keep my skin moisturized throughout the day. Within two days, I saw such a huge difference. So calming and gives you a nice, moisturized glow. I feel so much better knowing my skin is healing. I will use this in my routine for the rest of my life!" —Christina A. I've been using this cup for over a year and it's absolutely fantastic. I adore my Stanley cup, but it's not the *best* option for the gym (unless you're planning to do some bicep curls with it). The locking lid really does work! I can twist it, toss it into a tote bag, and move on with my life, knowing it won't spill. I fill it with ice before bed, and when I head out to the gym in the morning, it's still cold! This bottle is also BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer's go-to, "It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours! The tapered base is also cupholder friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist, and throw it sideways in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all!" Promising reviews: "I am so obsessed with this thing. I get an arm workout from how heavy it is. I drink way more water when I use it, and the leakproof straw is the real deal. I left it in a hot car for 6 hours, and the water was still cold. I bought them for my whole family; they are the only water bottles we use now." —Pen Name "Love this cup so much!! It makes carrying 1,365,894 things at one time so much easier! 😊" —Donica Sawyer Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in 21 colors). Check out a TikTok of the moon lamp in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is obsessed with this gadget: "UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top selling products pages for so long that I was like 'Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!' And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper-realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases." Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six sizes). Promising review: "Really makes a difference. First overnight treatment I've used where my lips genuinely feel hydrated and plumper in the morning. I'm pleasantly surprised — I bought this on a whim after a rec from The Strategist and almost canceled the order. Now I use it every night!" —Hilary Get it from Amazon $22 (available in three flavors). Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T. Redwood Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" —Ken Check out a TikTok of the paper bag vase in action. Promising review: "This vase was a lot cuter than I expected. Has good weight to it, and looks exactly like a crinkled bag. Packaged and shipped super securely, a great buy." —Vivian Promising review: "I'm extremely pleased with this bunch of peonies. They come as a spray on one branch, so I cut each stem off and arranged them individually. The resulting arrangement is lush and beautiful. There are enough leaves and other pieces that make it more than just the flowers and allow for some spiky bits to pop out. You will not be disappointed!" —c2believe Get them from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 30 colors). Dermasuri is a small business that specializes in skincare and personal care products. To use, soften skin with warm water for five to ten minutes, and then scrub wet *without* the use of soap. Promising review: "If you think you’ve ever actually exfoliated before, you haven’t. These make self-tanner come off SO easily, and it’s literally GROSS how much skin came off of me. I’ve never felt my skin this soft in my life. Make sure you follow instructions and don’t use soap first! Absolutely a must have for anyone who uses fake tans, or anyone who has dry skin!" —AJM BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan! She said, "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II The set includes a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. Pick up some AA batteries — both will need them! Promising review: "Was a gift to our daughter who works from home; she loves the multi colors. Not to mention the fact that PURPLE is her favorite color. Very easy to use and brightens up the workday. 💜" —Sheila Gunter Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in 14 styles). Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two styles). I have a Kindle (a previous edition) and, surprisingly, have become a big fan of it, especially when traveling. While I absolutely prefer a hardcover book, it's nearly impossible to put more than two (which is a stretch in itself) in my suitcase along with my clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. I read most of my books these days through the Libby app (all you need is a library card for access), which can be used via your phone or Kindle. No need to spend tons of money on novels when I simply am not someone who rereads them! I like that I can use this one near water without fear of it getting destroyed (yikes). Promising review: "This is probably the best purchase I have ever made. I don’t know why I waited this long. I already have Kindle Unlimited, but with this device, the world is at my fingertips. My eyes don’t hurt, and I can adjust the brightness and font to what I need. At night, I need the bigger font, so that helps so much. It’s lightweight, easy to hold, and the perfect size. I had this with me on my family vacation and I could not put it down. The charge lasts forever. I have only charged this twice. If you love to read and are sensitive to light, this will help. It’s perfect." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in three colors). Bakel is a small business that specializes in edible glitters for food and drink (fun!). I used the pink glitter to jazz up the drinks at my Taylor Swift–themed baby shower, and it was a huge hit! It even looked fabulous when added to sparkling water. A little goes a long way, so don't be concerned when a tiny jar of glitter arrives — it'll be PLENTY. Promising review: "Don’t think any further and just buy it. This was so cool, and everyone loved it! I got the clear one because it will go with any drink. I will be the one to put this in all my friends' drinks. Also had no taste, so it was just the look. Sooooooo cool!" —gigi Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in 27 colors). Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60-years-old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." —Lynda M. Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes). Promising review: "These are amazing quality!! I do love my pair of Lululemon leggings, but I notice that they stretch out and slide down throughout the day. These do not! They are so soft I almost feel like I am wearing nothing, but still feel very ‘athletic’ like they’re holding everything in. When I opened the package, they looked like they were going to be too short at first, but they’re not, they are quite stretchy and comfortable. Highly recommend!!" —Kate Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 colors). Promising review: "Oh my goodness. This was way better than expected. Definitely only need one waffle per person, they are huge. They are beyond delicious and the stuffing options are endless. It does take about seven minutes to make one waffle but totally worth it. Comes out perfect every single time. No issues at all. Buy it now!" —armywife Tons of reviewers praised this dress for being a great option during pregnancy! Promising review: "Super cute for my baby shower and comfortable too (which is the most important). I’m 5’3 and wore small heels. I thought the dress length was perfect, but it would look completely fine on a taller or shorter person. I got lots of compliments! I’ll wear this post-baby, too!" —JP Get it from Amazon for $58.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 10 styles). Promising review: "These are one of my better purchases on Amazon. They are cute and comfortable, like walking on a cloud. They are not heavy or clunky. They are light but sturdy. They can be worn with so many outfits because of their neutral color." —Lynette Robotti Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–10 and eight colors). Promising review: "Got these as house sandals to keep my feet off the tile floor. It feels like walking around on one of those kitchen mats; I love them. So much easier (and less hot) than putting on sneakers. I've gotten them muddy in the yard, and they wash up nicely. They fit my wide feet and high arches great. Never did I expect to buy sandals online and have them fit and be comfortable, but here we are" —BlueSkies Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–11 and dozens of colors). * These 43 Summery Items Under $30 Are Calling Your Name, My Friend * Products That’ll Help You Bring Some ~Whimsy~ Back Into Your Life * Psst; Come Window Shop With Us Real Quick, You Might Just Find Something You Love * You Survived The First Half Of The Year — Here Are 32 Treats To Celebrate With Plus, finds from Etsy and Urban Outfitters.
