    1. rainbow bath bomb to transform your next bath into a magical experience with colors that won't stain the tub. The combo of sea salt, essential oil, shea butter, and grape seed extract work to moisturize without irritating. Reviewers say it leaves behind a light and refreshing scent. I feel relaxed just thinking about it.

    Promising review: "The scent is really nice and isn’t too powerful. The colors are very vibrant, and everyone I’ve sent one to have absolutely loved it!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in packs of three and eight).

    2. A giant food stool for anyone who's a maximalist when it comes to home decor and wants a function seat that will leave guests exclaiming, "OMG, this is amazing." Because it really is.

    Promising review: "This stool is a work of ART! The detail is unparalleled, yet it is still fully functional and sturdy to boot. I now need all of the surrealist giant food pieces in my home." —Mercky

    Get it from Urban Outfitters for $250 (available in five styles).

    3. Gold Eye Treatments masks packed with collagen to reduce under eye bags and soften fine lines, while also making you feel as royal as the characters in The Crown. Now if only you had a staff to bring you breakfast in bed while you wear these...

    Jasmin Sandal/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jasmin Sandal says: "I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purple-y, puffy eyes, and...w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my under eyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn't feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day. Now, I find that I integrate these into my routine anytime I want to let my skin breathe free of makeup."

    5. A Dalí clock — a must-have for any modern-art lover. Not only is this surrealist piece of decor reminiscent of a famous Salvador Dalí's painting, but it's also fully functional.

    Promising review: "My whole family loves it! It’s so unique and fun to display. It's a very special piece to own from one of my favorite artists, Salvador Dali. I wish it was a sturdier material (it’s plastic), but either way, it will be safely displayed and the quality looks so good you can’t tell it’s plastic until you touch it. I would love if they made a larger size, but this size is great too!" —Luz C

It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on.

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

    Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord says: "I've *also* been using this soap, and not only is it super hydrating for my hands (LOL @ constantly handwashing now and forever!), the yuzu scent is just calming and lovely, and I'm obsessed with how light and frothy the foaming suds are from the soap. The best part is that the bottle is totally reusable; you buy the dispenser once, and then you can get refills of the foaming soap for $12.50 from then on out." Read more of her yuzu-scented hand soap review (it's #32).

    Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and did an impulse buy and I love it. You do have to give it a few pumps at the beginning of the first use to get the soap up. But it does make a cute little flower on your hand. Super cute and I love the fact that you can get refills so it's not a one use kind of deal." —Christina Hansen

    Promising review: "This is an awesome product. I must admit — I thought it looked cool, but I had low expectations about its future as a cat toy. I mean cats never do what you want/expect, so I doubted they would be scratchin' many records. Boy, was I wrong! Ten minutes after putting it together, they were already DJ Jazzy Dax and hype boys Sputnik and Gatsby were droppin' some block rockin' beats. I can't say for sure that your cats will like it, but mine have been all about that bass since it was delivered a couple of days ago." —Jude Harris

    The slide can hold up to 50 lbs.

    Promising review: "We just received our slide and it took less than five minutes to get it out of the box and set it up. Super easy and convenient with two little girls waiting to see what was inside the box! My girls (3 1/2- and 1 1/2-years-old) got on this slide immediately after opening it up and I am not even kidding when I say they played on it for an hour straight. I was surprised at how nice and how sturdy the slide was considering it's made of cardboard. The girls had a blast playing on it and when it was time to go to bed it took about 15 seconds to fold it up to store until tomorrow. I love that it folds flat for easy storage so if you want it out of the way it can be. Very happy with our purchase!" —Amanda Sobol

    Promising review:This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it (it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope).
