1. A smudge-proof, transfer-proof lip stain masque that goes on blue and then peels off to reveal a natural matte shade that lasts for up to 10 hours!
Promising reviews: "I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy

3. A mini ice cube tray because chewable nugget ice is literally 🙌🏻 life 🙌🏻giving but you don't live close to the ultimate source (AKA Sonic).
Promising review: "Best little ice cubes ever. They pop out of the tray really easily...especially after setting them out for a quick couple of minutes on the counter. Tipping the tray 30 degrees to level the water before putting in the freezer is a great tip from another review. The cubes are the perfect size to scoop into my homemade iced mochas." —Heather
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.98.
4. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker so you can listen to your true crime podcast at a reasonable decibel rather than bumping your iPhone up to max volume, perching it on the side of your tub, and still barely being able to decipher what Ashley Flowers is saying.
Promising review: "I bought this speaker last year and only turn it on when I shower and turn it off when I’m done! I shower every night and when I say I HAVE NEVER CHARGED IT, I mean it! I only charged it once when I first got it, and since then I have never had to charge it again! It’s hanging in my shower, gets water all over it and sounds perfectly clear when I’m listening to music or on a phone call! It’s amazing!!!" —Rodrigo Ornelas
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
5. A new pair of chunky sunnies sure to protect your peepers on your daily walk to Dunkin'. Those in-app deals ($3 cold brewwww) really do be worth it!
6. A six-piece cooling sheet set because spring is here but for some reason, your apartment's radiators are still on full blast and you have no way of shutting them off. 🙃
The set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and four pillowcases.
Promising review: "These are great sheets! I love how soft they are and that the pillow covers are big enough for big pillows and that they are the enclosed type that you see in hotels. And there’s four of them! The pillow cases are the best part in my opinion. And I also like that the fitted sheet fits my mattress easily and perfectly because I have a pillow top mattress and use a thick mattress cover." —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in sizes Twin–Split King and in 11 colors).
7. A Mason jar cold brew maker with thousandsssss of 5-star Amazon reviews which attest to its ability to brew a bold cup of joe.
PS: The BPA-free, food-grade quality pitcher comes with a mesh filter and a leak-proof lid with a pour spout.
Promising reviews: "Perfect large size... first time making cold brew coffee!!!! I’m hooked! Smooth and delicious. Extremely easy to use and easy to clean. The filter is perfect and no grinds come through. I’m looking forward to making tea as well. 👍" —Shiplama
"I LOVE this thing. Super easy to clean and makes making cold brew super easy. Saves me so much money not buying the pre-made cold brews that didn't last as long. Now I get to experiment with all kinds of different flavors as well. HIGHLY recommend. Stop wasting your money on the less-delicious, more-expensive pre-made cold brews." —Ashlyn Mcguigan
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
8. A UPF 50 rated sun hat so your scalp doesn't suffer any third-degree burns on that upcoming trip you've been impatiently waiting for!!! The wide brim will also keep your schnoz in the safe zone because if you're anything like me, your nose *will* burn after just 0.01 seconds of sun exposure.
Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this summery hat. The brim was large enough to protect my face while on a catamaran but not so large that I felt like I was swallowed whole. This hat made it on two 12-hour flights to New Zealand and still looks brand-new. Officially my go-to summer hat." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.90+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
9. A pack of eye patches that can reduce dark circles and puffiness, smooth out fine lines, and give you a refreshed glow. They're less than $1 per set but they're also gold, so they feel extra luxe.
Promising review: "I usually have puffy eyes and dark circles, but after using these eye masks my eyes look better than ever! I should have taken before and after pictures because the difference is night and day! I don't even use them daily and my eyes still look way better! If you're on the fence about getting some, hop off that fence and come to the dark side." —Xen
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in packs of 15, 20, 30, 50, and 100).
10. Some shoe deodorizers 'cause tis the season for slip-on Vans and well-worn Converse and boyyyyy can those babies work up a stink.
11. An adjustable bath caddy so you can stretch out like you're the leading lady in a rom-com. How characters who walk dogs for a living can afford a place with a clawfoot tub — and in NYC, no less — is sus, but that's a matter for another time altogether.
12. Some wooden bunny tongs if you're looking for a cutesy kitchen addition that'll inspire you to eat at home more. No promises, but it's worth a shot. 🐰
Promising review: "I figured it was more of a novelty than anything and doubted that I would use it much, but decided to try it out anyway. Turns out that I actually use it quite often! It allows me to grab my bread/bagel/muffin from the toaster without either burning my fingers or having to wait until it's cooled (and therefore less likely to melt the butter or cream cheese I attempt to spread onto it). Also, since the bunny is quite adorable and stands upright, I can set it on my counter beside my toaster, so it doesn't take up more space in my (very full) utensil drawer." —Sarah D. C. F.
Get them from Amazon for $13.50.
13. Some Tony Moly Watermelon Dew All Over Sugar Polish to get your skin prepped for shaving and/or self tanning. The head-to-toe exfoliator will have you feeling as smooth as a freaking dolphin!
14. A Simple Modern tumbler should you be looking for an option that will keep your drink cold for hours on end and don't really care about the name brand. 🤷♀️ It also comes in a bunch of pretty pastels, sooo it's really a no-brainer.
Many reviewers said they find themselves drinking more water when they have a straw, and the fact that it's so dang cute doesn't hurt either!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I finally decided to hop on board the hype train for these big tumblers and am already obsessed with my Simple Modern one! I opted for the mint green color and it's as pretty as I'd hoped in person. The fact that this has both a straw and a handle means I end up carrying it around with me and drinking WAY more water than I did before. BTW! I highly recommend getting straw covers to protect against dust and germs — as pictured above, I got cute cloud ones (like these), and they work perfectly!"
Promising review: "If you have been wanting a Stanley cup, believe me, save yourself some money and get this cup! You will end up with a better cup than the Stanley! I have dropped/tipped over this cup a couple of times and only a couple of drops of water come out. If I did that to my Stanley, water got everywhere! And this cup keeps the water so cold. And if you purchase silicone straw toppers, it keeps the water even colder! Also, it fits in my car cup holder, and my Stanley really didn’t. Love this cup!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and 38 colors). Also available in a style without the handle!
15. And a set of cowboy straw toppers if 1. You can't stop singing Beyonce's "Texas Hold 'Em" and 2. You have a really bad habit of knocking your Stanley over and soaking your area rug with 40 ounces of ice-cold water.
16. A set of TikTok-beloved checkered cosmetic bags so you can take all of your favorite products on the road, whether that's to work for midday touchups or to your BFF's house for your weekly sleepover.
17. A pair of noise-canceling on-ear headphones that look a whole lot like AirPod Maxes 👀 but only cost $70, so you can spend the nearly $500 you're saving on all of your other treats!!!
The noise-canceling is 95%, so reviewers say if you're looking for 100% cancellation, you might want to splurge on the name brand.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say:
"I actually just bought these after featuring them for the first time — I've been considering buying the AirPods Max, but I am very particular about how headphones fit — and am sensitive to my ears overheating after wearing certain on-ear headphones for too long. So instead of (or before) committing to the $500 version, I thought trying these for a test run would be good. Turns out, I love them so far! They're super comfortable and do *not* make my ears overheat. The sound quality to my non-expert ears is excellent too! And the noise-canceling is right for me — it blocked out annoying street noise so I could be fully immersed in my tunes."
Promising review: "These headphones are one of the best purchases I could’ve made. For starters, the presentation of the headphones is amazing. It comes in a silky oval-shaped bag, with a couple of options for audio input. In terms of video/audio, they are IN-SYNC! The girls that get it get it. Some headphones tend to have a delay, but these do not! When on the highest volume, they are pretty easy on the ears. Not only this, but I’ve been fascinated by the longevity of the battery life. I’ve used these headphones for about 4–5 hours consecutively over a matter of days and still have over 50% battery life. These are, by far, the best headphones I’ve had, and would recommend to everyone." —Ken
Get them from Amazon for $69.99 (available in silver and black).
18. A set of custom stickers you can make in the likeness of whoever you want — your pet, yourself, Irish hottie Cillian Murphy... Get creative with it!
And all you have to do is click 'Customize Now' and then upload a well-lit image! My Sticker Face is a small business.
Promising review: "I think this might be one of the best things I've ever bought on Amazon. I bought one sheet for my mom for Christmas, and they just came. She hasn't seen them, but I know they'll crack her up. They look fantastic. I'll definitely buy more!!" —Claudia Basile
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
19. A hanging disco ball planter if having ABBA play 24/7 isn't enough to let your guests know you live and breathe to boogie.
20. Some milky "nail concealer" polish in a sheer, buildable shade TikTok is absolutely obsessed with.
21. And a nail polish ring holder that'll help you pull off a much cleaner, steadier mani.
Promising review: "What a great idea! I usually do just a so-so job applying nail polish. I have a bit of a shaky hand which causes a less-than-perfect manicure. I have great nails, nice and hard, and I hated to spend a fortune getting manicures at the salon. For some reason, just having this little polish holder has made a difference. I don't have to move far from the bottle to the nail which seems to do the trick! What a great little invention! I haven't been back to the salon since! I definitely recommend." —Cindy RN
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 20 colors).
22. A reed diffuser — in your choice of 20+ scents — for those who've had some ~spooky~ experiences with candles. Incredible scent + no open flame? Yes, please!
PS: it comes from a small biz! Sweet Water Decor is a woman-owned, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania–based shop that specializes in home decor + gifts.
Promising review: "I LOVE this product. I get a lot of compliments whenever people come to my home because it smells so good. The scent easily fills a medium-sized room and it lasts for months. Whenever I run out, I immediately buy another one." —as
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in 24 scents).
23. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings if you want the luxe look of Bottega Veneta but don't want to drop the equivalent of a mortgage payment on them — especially with how often you misplace things.
Promising review: "These are AMAZING! I highly recommend them. They look so luxurious and expensive. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them already. 10/10!" —Hayley Ghormley
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 finishes, two-packs, and an XL size).
24. A set of super-sized (9.5 inches!) satin scrunchies so you can sweep your hair up and off your neck after skipping wash day [[again]] and opt for dry shampoo instead.
Promising reviews: "I love the look of the huge silk scrunchies on a lot of retail websites, but I'm not willing to pay that much for ONE hair tie. These are a great substitute, and you get four for half the price. (Came in cute packaging, too.)" —Michael L.
"Honestly, I was very skeptical because I didn’t think I would like oversized scrunchies, but I have long hair, and I find any other scrunchies always pulling out my hair, so these are extremely comfortable. The downside is now I must get them in all colors. 😃" —Dawn Sullivan
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in various color combinations).
25. A magnetic cable wrangler that'll hold your various chargers so you don't have to crawl on the floor or move heavy furniture to retrieve them when they ultimately fall off of your desk.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Heather Braga has to say:
"I have this magnetic cable manager and absolutely love it! Cannot tell you how many times my Mac charger would come unplugged then swiftly fall behind my desk. Then I'd have the annoying task of getting underneath said desk and try to feed the wire back up to my laptop. Beyond annoying. This has been such a problem solver! Additionally, Smartish is a small business."
Promising review: "I absolutely love this addition to my bedside table line-up! The Smartish Magnetic Cord Holder is perfect for keeping my iPhone charger accessible and easy to reach from my tall bed. It’s so simple yet so effective! The neutral color is beautiful as well and blends seamlessly with our decor and my personal style. This is a great gift option because it's something unique and functional. I’ll definitely be ordering the larger size for my desk once I start upgrading my office soon!" —Presley Davis
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two sizes and four colors).
26. L'Oreal Paris Makeup's True Match Lumi Glotion which delivers a sunkissed, natural glow even if you CAN'T STAND the sun and would rather fake it than sweat your buns of outdoors in pursuit of a tan.
Check it out as part of a five-minute natural makeup look on TikTok.
Promising review: "This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I apply after moisturizer and makeup, highlighting under my eyes and brow bones. Not too sparkly, just makes me look like I’ve had enough coffee. Seems to last through hot and sweaty Florida days, so that’s a plus. I’ve tried other luminizers, and for me they are usually too sparkly or weirdly colored. I tried an $$ Glossier one that remained strangely sticky the whole time it was on my skin. I will purchase again!" —DLW
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in four shades).
27. A cup caddy so you can keep your three comfort beverages and TV remotes right by your side — no worries about spilling or losing anything between the couch cushions.
PS: Cup Cozy is a small biz!
Promising review: "We love this product. It’s sturdy. It holds bottles of soda, cups, standard-size mugs, remote controls, cell phones, etc. It doesn’t budge. We’ve never had a spill, even when our dog has unexpectedly jumped up on the couch. I would buy again." —Nicci
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
28. A bouquet of silk tulips if you love having flowers around but keeping real blooms fresh just isn't your forte. I know I'm supposed to change the water daily... but is anyone actually doing that??
Promising review: "They look insanely real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and is shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" —Abbey S.
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in dozens of colors).
29. A pack of four "licorice" (they're actually silicone) straws that'll make sipping anything — even plain ol' tap water — much more fun.
Promising review: "Now that reusable straws are becoming more and more popular, especially where we live in California, I figured it would be great to have a little fun. These are great for kids as well as adults, and they work really well! I will certainly be ordering them again." —Joshua Epstein
Get them from Amazon for $10.49.
30. A flower-infused cuticle oil if your nails are still recovering from last season's cool temps. The natural formula hydrates dry skin and strengthens nails so you can work on growing them out, if that's something you've always dreamt of doing!
Promising review: "I have been wanting to try this cuticle oil for a while and wondered if it was actually as pretty as pictured. Well, I was not disappointed! Not only does it smell wonderful, but you can enjoy watching the beautiful and colorful little flowers floating around in the bottle while moistening your nails. The Jasmine scent was a great choice. I love it!!' —~Audrey~
Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in two sizes and 30 scents).
31. A satin pillowcase that will prevent you from flipping and re-flipping your pillow in a desperate bid to chase the cool side.
Kitsch is a woman-owned small accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They also sell cute scrunchies, cloth face masks, heatless curlers, and more.
Promising review: "I am blown away by the high quality of these affordable satin pillowcases. This is the third brand I’ve tried and these are hands down the winners. The material is high quality and feels silky and durable (yet soft and supple). The stitching and zipper feel like they will last. (I will update if that is not the case). They fit beautifully and look great. I am so impressed, I plan to buy other products from this brand." —Cathy H.
Get it from Amazon for $16.14+ (available in two sizes, packs of one or two, and in 24 colors/patterns).
32. And a flower-shaped pill organizer if you're notoriously bad at taking your meds and maybe — just maybe🙏 — keeping this cutie on your counter will help.
Promising review: "Travel with ease!! Before this product, I would take all my supplement bottles with me in my purse which took up an unnecessary amount of room. Now with this product, I can travel easily with all my daily supplements. Takes up minimal space in my purse and actually encourages me to take my daily supplements. Not to mention I love the color and style. Can fit up to nine of my largest size capsules." —Kaci Allen
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five styles).
