1. A bottle of TikTok-famous Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence that uses what seems like icky snail mucin to give you ~wow-worthy~ results backed by more than 46,000 5-star ratings! Who knew snails were actually skincare gods?!
The best part is that the snail mucin is obtained safely, so no snails are harmed!
Promising review: "I’ve been using this morning and night for about two weeks and I can say I understand the hype! My skin looks better than it has in so long. Firstly, the texture surprised me. When you think snail mucin, you think slimy and gross. This wasn’t sticky or slimy whatsoever. I was afraid it was gonna leave my skin feeling gross and slippery. Surprisingly, my skin drank it right up! No residue whatsoever and it’s a nice primer before makeup. I have oily skin and it’s helped with that as well. My skin is so soft, with a nice healthy glow. I’ve noticed my red spots from past acne is fading and my skin just overall looks great. Highly recommend!" —Sarah D.

2. A pack of teeth-whitening pens in case you want those pearly whites to actually be white instead of 50 shades of beige.
3. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" for getting rid of all that food lodged between your teeth you know is there but just can't seem to reach. These toothbrushes have multilayer bristles that act like floss and can get into those tiny crevasses.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what one of our editors, Emma Lord, has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

6. A bleach-free no-scrub shower cleaner you simply spray and forget, letting the cleaner do the work for you. Reviewers say it takes a few times to tackle big jobs, but it's definitely worth the buy. 👇🏽
7. A Bissell Little Green machine perfect for pet parents whose furry friends tend to leave them little gifts on the carpet every once in a while. It's a small yet mighty appliance that reviewers say works better than they ever imagined.
8. A 100-piece set of Picasso Tiles, because they're not only comparable to Magnatiles according to shoppers (which are $80 more for the same size set) but they'll also work with the Magnatiles your kiddo may already have. Now their tiny castle can expand into a creative kingdom! If you've been looking for a way to get your kid off the screen, these tiles are a great way to do just that. They might even let you join their construction team.
9. A multisurface pet stain and odor eliminator used mostly to remove messes from pets, but reviewers say it's powerful enough to work on vomit, both from pets and tiny humans. 🥴
10. A cruelty-free eyeshadow primer because after you've mastered your YouTube tutorial, the last thing you want is for your look to fade before you can even show it off. This primer will not only help those colors pop, but it'll also help them last all day.

Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Promising review: "This is the best of its kind. It cuts great and is very sturdy — I had been using a lesser model. I even cubed chicken breasts today plus cauliflower, onions, and more. I was a chef for 30 years and I love this so much I had to review straight away!" —david fasnacht

Promising review: "Last year I splurged on some AirPod Maxes and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)." —Chelsea Stuart

19. Kitsch's iconic claw clip, a subtle and simplistic clip that's elegant yet sturdy.

This clip is up for the task and even has rounded teeth to prevent hair damage.
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review: "Feels expensive. This hair clip works very well and also feels like a very high end item. It’s very sturdy and is a great, trendy replacement for plastic claw clips." —Mae

21. A reviewer-loved microfiber sheet set in case you're on the hunt for a budget-friendly alternative to more extravagant fabrics. Reviewers praise this set's softness, wrinkle resistance, and durability. If you live in cooler climates, you'll appreciate the microfiber materials' ability to retain warmth. Something tells me your next nap is going to be a doozy.
22. A pair of fillable paint touch-up pens because who has the arm strength to take out buckets of paint every time someone accidentally scratches the wall during a rousing game of Twister?
Promising review: "I recently had the interior of my house painted. I purchased these pens thinking that I might need to touch things up from time to time. Well, I did, like when I pushed the garbage can against the wall. Or when I found spots the painters missed. I love how easy these pens are to fill. I've got a couple stashed in various rooms. When I see a spot, I just grab the pen, shake it to mix the paint, and twist the barrel. Love these!" —Karen Ranney
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.79 (also available in a five-pack).
23. A pair of reusable bamboo charcoal bags to get rid of that foul smell coming from your sneakers. They absorb excess moisture to prevent mold, mildew, or bacteria from forming in your shoes which will keep your kicks odor-free.
24. A Dracula garlic mincer, an unserious yet super helpful kitchen gadget that'll give you another reason to smile while making garlic bread. It's a little ironic, too. A Dracula that minces garlic — get it? 😂
Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer — Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and, months later, still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from "good friend" to "best friend," but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." —L

25. A V-neck maxi dress in case your wardrobe is missing a spring-ready staple. Reviewers love its lightweight flowy fabric and how it brightens any mood.
26. An 8-piece space saver bag set that — and this is the good part — doesn't require a vacuum to suck the excess air out. Simply fill the bag with all the goodies you want to tuck away, zip the bag closed, and roll out the air. Easy peasy. (Reviewers who travel say it's a great way to save a ton of space in your luggage, too.)
27. A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle here to give your space a signature scent with a throw that'll fill your home with the enchanting fragrance of jasmine, oud, and sandalwood.
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table and even though it wasn't lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you. The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent. I even bought the shampoo and conditioner which I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me!" —Melissa I.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in five sizes, gift box options, packs of two, and a variety of scents).
