Serotonin-inducing purchases that won't hurt your wallet.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these earrings! My sister bought a pair very similar to these from Kendra Scott and ever since I saw hers I wanted them but didn’t want to pay as much as she did. So I set out to find a close match for a fraction of the cost, and bingo! They also arrived very quickly so that was an added bonus. I am all about trendy at a fair price and these earrings are just that. 😄" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "A bit rigid since it's brand new, but it is a decent size. Large enough for a phone, small wallet, and other small necessities. The holographic aspect is super cute and looks great in real life! Very fashionable." —Reviewer of Things

Promising review: "These sunglasses went well above my expectations! The colors are super rich and bright but still block out sun. The plastic is thick and clear throughout. The fit (especially the keyhole nose fitting) is PERFECT for small faces. I bought two for myself and my partner immediately claimed one so I'll be buying more. For the price, these are ideal for vacations, water sports, climbing, or hikes where you need sunglasses but also have a high chance of damaging or losing them." —Life is My Adventure

The three-in-one brush has a side with thick silicone bristles and a side with a foaming sponge and denser bristles so you can both eliminate makeup and give yourself a nice massage.
Promising review: "I bought this because my Clarisonic broke. I use it two to three times a week and find it to be a cute and effective tool. I rarely wear makeup, but when I do, it is often heavy. This tool (in combination with my cleanser) gets it off every time. My makeup is also dark, but it never stains. It's really good at clearing up blackheads on my nose. After reading some of the reviews when I initially purchased it, I became curious and decided to test how sanitary/safe it is. After five months, I removed the sponge and turned the silicone inside out. Besides two tiny pieces of dead skin, it was fine. There wasn't an odor or mold. However, similar to a Clarisonic brush head, for sanitary purposes, this should be replaced every three months or so. I look forward to getting this product again." —Amazon Customer

Chunks is an Asian woman-founded accessories brand started by Tiffany Ju. Its nostalgic designs also include jumbo claw clips and bejeweled combs.
BuzzFeed shopping editor Melanie Aman is a big fan saying, "I recently spent what some would consider to be a silly amount of money on hair clips but these bring me such joy (something we all need right now) that I can justify it. I have straight Asian hair but it's quite thick and these clips do a great job of holding it back without ripping out strands every time I remove them."
Get them from Chunks for $5+ (available in four colors; sold individually or in a pack of four).

Product review: "This set of drawings is beautiful and very intricate. I used my Arteza colored pencils but found that some of the lines are so close together that coloring pens worked much better. This book is made for those who want to spend time and thought coloring. I've been working on the buffalo for days! These drawings will be small pieces of art when colored." —Kindle Customer

Everything fits perfect for the case, I simply slipped it on with no signs of wiggling or sliding off. 10/10 recommend for a gift and self accessory ☆" —Jordan

Promising review: "These straws are so cool! The colors are great. The straws are pretty wide which is great for drinking shakes, smoothies, and even soda and water. The glass is thick, so I'm not afraid of it breaking. They are tall enough to fit in a large fast food soda cup. Very easy to clean. I have one in my purse, one at work, and the rest at my house for when I have guests." —Jessica Rose Marsh

Promising review: "These pens are a great value! I recently was using the Paper Mate Flair, but decided to try these and save a bit of money. They write extremely easily, and the colors are all very distinct. I use different colors at work to indicate different meeting notes, so I like the variety. Update: I have been using these for about a month now, and they are still working great. The AmazonBasics logo has rubbed off of some as shown in the picture, but that's about it!" —RKRushing

The smart plug-in will glow when it needs a refill and shut off automatically when it's empty so you don't have to babysit it.
Promising review: "Works great I have this in the same room as my cat's litter box and this keeps it smelling a little better and it even makes it into my living room making it smell great. The little light on top definitely helps since I will know if it is empty. It has a selector mode on the side so you can set it for 16 or 24 hours. The scent seems to last a while as I have yet to switch it out but even then when the time comes it only costs me $10 for a five pack." —Ryan
Get a three-piece set from Amazon for $7.49 (available in two scents).
What's included: six reusable ice pop molds, six handles, a tray, a cleaning brush, and a funnel.
Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. We have made popsicles almost daily since receiving them! They are easy to fill because they stand up well in the tray and they came with a little collapsible funnel to help with pouring. They are super quick and easy to clean up as well. The ice pops are nice and big. If you have a picky eater who loves treats, then this is perfect for you. We put fruits, veggies, Greek yogurt, you name it in there. My toddler loves to help me make the pops and I have the peace of mind that he is getting tons of super good nutrients! Also, some mornings when I’m running a bit behind, I will just grab one of the pops we made and make it my breakfast LOL. For those looking at reviews about having trouble with them breaking or are having a hard time getting the pops out, we have dropped pieces several times and haven’t had any break yet. The pops' stick parts do seem like they could break fairly easy, but we haven’t had any issues. And as far as not being able to get them out of the molds once frozen, running a little hot water over the outside of the pop for a few seconds allows it to slide right out!" —Colleen DiNitto

Promising review: "These are so cute!! They are much smaller than I expected, but the seller did list size and such on the product description so that’s on me! However, for being small they are mighty! The magnets are properly 'sticky' and hold up papers with no problem. I actually like how small they are as they're cute, but don’t clutter everything up which can happen fast on a fridge. I really enjoy these little cacti and would order again." —Alexandria Baker
