Promising review: "The jacket is super cute on, and it is very comfortable. It's very dramatic and works with skinny jeans, leggings, and can even accessorize a dressier outfit. As others suggested, it could use a button to pull it together, and if you sew, that is an easy DIY fix. I'm going to buy a frog closure to sew on." —Joan V

The all-natural soy wax candle has a 60- to 80-hour burn time and is made in the USA.
Promising review: "I got this as a surprise for my boyfriend. He moved to my state from Texas for college. I wasn't sure about how it would smell, but I figured even if he wasn't a fan, it would be neat as a decoration for his room. When I surprised him with the candle and he smelled it, he actually got very emotional and started crying because he said the smell instantly brought back so many memories of home. I don't know how they did it, but Homesick Candles managed to replicate the smell of home so well in this candle that it took my boyfriend back home immediately. Definitely worth my money. :)" —Bailey K.

Promising review: "I’ve been on the search for the perfect jogger: lightweight but significant, soft, COMFY, lounge and street appropriate. I found it! And it’s classic MeUndies fabric, so it is as soft as a cloud and washes beautifully (no fading/ no shrink). I’m buying more!" —Krouge

The Aerogarden includes an herb seed kit with six pods, including basil, parsley, dill, thyme, basil, and mint and a bottle of natural plant nutrients that will last a full season of growth. Plus, it's super easy to use as it will remind you when to add water and plant food. It automatically turns the lights on and off, so even if you don't have a green thumb, you can grow herbs at home.
Promising review: "I considered purchasing this product during our stay at home orders. I purchased the product on March 25, and I started growing on March 26. As of April 27, I have been impressed with the amount of growth that my tomato plants and basil plants I have achieved. I am so impressed with this product that I have planned on ordering two more for the wintertime gardening needs. No more shopping for fresh vegetables at the store for me with my new indoor garden I will have fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices year-round." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I absolutely love this gorgeous necklace! I have received so many compliments on this necklace. The quality is superb and the color is rich. I’m a huge fan. My daughter bought me matching hoops earrings for Christmas. Now I’m looking for a bracelet and ring to go with my necklace and earrings." —Paula A.
Get it from Amazon or gorgana for $60 or a similar style also from Amazon for $14.80.
Promising review: "I have had my eye on these shoes for quite some time. They seemed minimal, good quality, and a great everyday shoe that I could throw on yet still look classy. Despite my love for them prior to receiving them, they still blew my expectations out of the water. They are all the things I anticipated, becoming a quick wardrobe staple, but they are also just so dang comfortable. 'Travel' does not just pertain to their packability, I could totally see myself walking 20,000 steps around Amsterdam with these shoes on my feet." —Kristen K.
Get them from Nisolo for $130 (available in sizes 6-10 and in five colors).
The pillowcase is made from 100% silk, which is less absorbent than other fibers. This means that all those products you put on your skin and in your hair stay where they belong. Plus, silk reduces friction, causing less pulling on both your hair and skin — leaving both looking and feeling better when you wake up in the morning.
Promising review: "This is an investment, and it is so worth it. I have curly frizzy hair, and this has been a lifesaver. I actually wake up with my curls looking okay. The pillowcase is soft and no doubt good for my skin. You do have to hand wash it, which isn't too difficult and it dries super quick too." —Peanut13
Get it from Nordstrom for $89+ (available in two sizes and in eight colors) or from Amazon for $89 (available in two sizes and 12 colors) or a similar style from Amazon for $20.98 (for a set of two; available in four sizes and 14 colors).

Each set comes with two planters in different sizes with coordinating colors. The planters have a drainage hole in the bottom and a removable plug.
Promising review: "Finally! Cute, attractive, and complementary planters that DON'T leak all over the table. I love these so much, I bought another set for my daughter-in-law. Tip: Rinse off some aquarium gravel and put in the planter about 1.5 inches deep. Then use some heavy-duty landscape fabric on top of that. Measure fabric by drawing around the pot with a permanent marker. Be careful not to touch the pot and mark it up. Add your soil and plant. Now your roots won't get soggy. These planters are so beautiful. I feel calm when I look at them." —Janie Palmer
Get the set of two from Amazon for $29.99.
Promising review: I love these! I thought they'd be quite flimsy because of the sheer material, but they actually feel like real socks, and I've gotten SO many compliments on them! Haven't tried washing yet, but so far, LOTS of bang for my buck!" —Rachael

This brush has hype with more than 129,000 (!!!) 5-star reviews, and it really does live up to it. The oval brush design smooths the hair and the round edges create volume — leaving you with a salon-worthy blowout at home. It also has two heat and speed settings and a cool option.
Promising review: "I love this hair dryer!! I bought it because I broke my shoulder and only have the use of one arm. Before my shoulder was broken, I used a very expensive hairdryer and the best brushes. This hair dryer works better than all of my high-end products. I'll never go back. The brush is big and I was concerned that it would be too much for my short hair. It will work great on any length of hair. The bristles grab even the shortest hair and dry it smooth and soft. My hair is naturally curly and before trying this dryer, I'd dry my hair, straighten it and then use hot rollers. I am now achieving the same results with the Revlon dryer. I haven't written a review on a product in years but needed to share my experience with this dryer. It's worth every penny!" —M J
Promising review: "I have 4C kinky-coily hair. This dryer cuts my drying and straightening time to just 20-25 minutes! I part my hair in four sections, apply my heat protectant, and use this dryer and in no time my hair is straightened! This hairdryer is comfortable and practical to use. I highly recommend for textured hair!" —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $41.88+ (available in five colors).
Promising review: "Absolutely incredible value for this super-soft cami! The velvet stretch is perfect for a looser fit. Surprisingly very well-made — I've seen versions of this camisole at Nordstrom for over $30! I am petite (5'1", 32D) and purchased a large because I want more stretch in the bust area. It was a bit too large, so I am going to purchase more colors in a medium. Such a good price — I'm stocking up now!" —Ethan B.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 15 colors).
Promising review: "These are such comfortable shoes. No time needed to break in because they immediately feel fantastic on your feet. I can wear them all day, and it feels like I'm walking on a cloud. True to size. Best sneaker I have ever had. I want one in every color." —Joan

Promising review: "I love all these cute Lippie stix. They're so adorable and feel so sweet. They're very creamy, which is awesome like all lippies. I love these pretty in pink colors the cotton candy vibes it gives me. Its perfect and shows up exactly how it looks on the pics but better in person." —AspieGirlMelissa
Get the set of three from Colourpop for $18.
Promising review: "I love this set. The quality is good. The skirt is a bit thinner than the sweater, so I wore Spanx underneath. It’s soft, warm, and cozy. The material isn’t itchy. I will have these pieces on repeat. It’s also Pantone’s color of the year. Buy it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $59 (available in sizes XS-XXL and in four colors).
Promising review: "This is a beautiful set. The stand is solid, stable, and well designed. The glasses are standard-size rocks glasses, and the decanter is larger than I expected. The glasswork is very nice with crisp etching, and the ship is more detailed and attractive than the pictures show. I’m very happy with this. I’ll be using it as both a showpiece and service set." —G.F.F.
Get it from Amazon for $55.78.
Promising review: "I ordered this watch not expecting to be blown away because, of the price. Boy, was I wrong! I immediately put on the watch as soon as I opened it up; it fits comfortably and the band wasn’t too small, which I was a little concerned about. I’ll definitely be looking to purchase other styles of this watch. Great buy, especially for the price!" —Jessica Kurry

I recently treated myself to this handmade necklace from the woman-founded small company, and I love it so much. I love wearing simple chains but found it annoying that I would have to remember to take them off before I did a workout or even showered. I've worn this chain (along with the satellite chain) for the past week, and so far they have held up great. I've done a number of workouts with them, and they don't get in my way at all. I love that the necklaces are simple enough that I can wear them with everything (including sweats), but they add an interesting detail. I like how this disco chain looks as the light hits it. It's really cool! I'm already eyeing more necklaces from the site to add to my collection.
Get it from Oxb for $59+ (available in 18 lengths and gold-filled or sterling silver).
Promising review: "I love this set! It’s so cute and great quality. It has an oversized fit, but I love it regardless. The top can actually be worn with jeans or athletic leggings which is a huge bonus. All in all, I love it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes XS-XXL and in 20 colors, patterns, and sleeve lengths).
Promising review: "Where has this bra been all my life? I always thought bralettes were only for wearing around the house but too flimsy to wear out. This is JUST as supportive as my regular bras but 10x more comfortable. I got a medium, and the padding adds just that little bit of cleavage but not so much that I'm spilling out, and it DOESN'T SHIFT WHEN YOU WASH IT. I hate having to readjust the removable padding every dang time I wash my bra but these stay put." —Gabby
Get it from Lively for $35 (available in sizes XS-L and in green, black, and beige).
The set of four 16-ounce copper mugs also comes with copper straws, a shot glass, and a recipe book.
Promising review: "These copper mugs arrived quicker than we expected, and we have been enjoying the most amazing mules in them ever since! There's just nothing quite like a good mule in a copper mug. These are beautifully crafted and the perfect size for our different mule recipes. We will be using these for years to come!" —Rosa Z.

Promising review: "For decades, I've been going through contortions to zip up zippers at the back of my dresses or tops when my husband is not on hand to help me. But recently I bought a really cute, REALLY snug (at the rib cage) jacquard dress for an upcoming event that I will dress for alone at a hotel. When I first tried it on at the store, I had to ask another customer in the dressing room to zip me up and down...there was just no way I could contort enough to do it myself. But I wanted the dress. So when I got home, I went on Amazon to see what kind of zipper puller-uppers were out there. I was hoping to spend $10–$12, but after reading all the reviews, I decided I had to have something that would not fail me. So I ordered the Zipuller because it had the best reviews and looked the sturdiest. It has worked every time I have used it. Even on that really snug dress. The zipper tab didn't come out of the clasp when I was zipping past the hardest part. Yay! I'm sold and won't be without it from here on out when I know I will need help." —Southern Gal

Oh Obé, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Seriously, I could go on all day about how much I love this fitness program, but I'll try and keep it as concise as possible. I've been using Obé for more than a year and a half now, and I am still completely obsessed with it and think it is one of the greatest workout programs out there. Since I’ve never belonged to a gym while living in New York, I am a self-proclaimed master of working out at home. I started using Obé and then went back to my old at-home workout and switched back to Obé again because I realized I liked it so much. The classes are a great workout, yet the 28 minutes go by super fast, and I’m not counting down the minutes till it’s over. You don't technically need any equipment for the workout, but you can "level up" with simple equipment, such as a resistance loop, weights, and sliders.
The live classes are fun and give me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. And the instructors even give shoutouts to people in the class, and it's actually a pretty cool feeling when you hear your name. When I can’t make the live classes, there are SO many on-demand. Obé offers a ton of varieties of classes, including strength, HIIT, sculpt, yoga, barre, and dance. Plus, you can filter classes in the on-demand section, so you can select a low-impact class if you have neighbors to worry about.
Obé has me challenging myself and trying out new classes. I never would have thought I would enjoy a Dance HIIT or even a regular HIIT class, but now I do them regularly. And I even started taking strength classes in the past year and had to purchase heavier 8- and 10-pound weights, which past-me would be been so shocked about. It pushes me to be stronger and more confident and really has been such a good thing for me in the past year. I feel so strong because of Obé and really encourage anyone to give it a try.

Promising review: "This is the perfect accessory to elevate a pair of jeans and whatever top you have on. I can tie it in the middle or tie the ends separately to create a different flow. It is versatile and nicely made. Good choice! And a fun way to expand a limited wardrobe." —Mary Blyth Jones

Promising review: "Seriously, this bag is amazing. It's a great size, very well made, and more features than I thought were possible on a canvas bag. Little things like the inside pocket and the two sets of buttons that keep the bag closed depending on whether you're using the long strap or the short strap make it a really great bag to carry. I ordered the black, so it's classic and will never feel out of style, but I can easily see myself ordering more colors because it's just that cool." —Michelle Salemka

Not only is it size-adjustable to accommodate different tubs, it comes equipped with a wineglass holder, edges that safely prop up a book or tablet, a candle holder, and extra space for whatever else their cozy heart desires.
Promising review: "When I placed my order for this tray I looked at the pics but did not realize how really cool this piece is. The ability to change the size is great, but I just love the different trays that are removable as well as the ability to put my phone and a Kindle in 'safe' areas of the tray. I found a perfect place for my TV remote should I want to watch TV and not read. I just got it and used it last night but it appears to be well-made, balanced, and offers versatility for the things you may want at your fingertips when taking a luxurious bath!" —SindiMcG

Promising review: "This bag is more spacious than it looks and carries all of my everyday needs. I was originally waiting to buy the small cross-body bag, but was so excited to see this new style and was instantly sold. I can see myself using this for every season. I love how it comes with two different straps, a real two-for-one! You can even use it for a small clutch/pouch by not using any straps, what a win! The only thing I was a little disappointed with is that it is not lined on the inside, but that won’t stop me from loving this bag." —adri11
Get it from Madewell for $128 (available in three colors).
