Zach & Zoë is a Black- and family-owned small business. After becoming chummy with local beekeepers as their raw honey hookup, their own interest in beekeeping grew.
BuzzFeed editor Marquaysa Battle is all-in on creamed honey:
"First things first, peeps: The Zach & Zoë brand sent me their creamed honey after I expressed I wanted to try it. Now, my thoughts: CREAMED HONEY IS QUITE THE REVELATION! I had no idea it even existed, which is what piqued my curiosity. Lotsa reviews said that it's great for putting in tea and coffee. The verdict after trying it? It tastes GREAT and upgrading my favorite hot beverages with this honey was just the start. I super dig the convenience of the creamed texture and have high key been looking for excuses to use creamed honey on everything. My heart and taste buds now hold a special appreciation for how the creamed honey spreads like butter on biscuits for breakfast. I don't have to worry about honey dripping all everywhere when I try to spoon it out. Last thing: The creamed honey tasted so great that it prompted me to explore another flavor Zach & Zoë offers, the Wildflower Honey with Raspberry. It tastes really good too (especially in tea) but that creamed honey just has sooo many other uses that I'm prob going to have it on repeat for a long while."
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six flavors) and Zach & Zoë for $20 (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "I love this pillow, it's great to avoid the butt-hurt from sitting on the floor. Nice, thick, and fluffy. I never knew I needed one of these and now I want three more." —Lbutler316
Diffuse the lights with chiffon curtains to really up your home's hygge factor.
Promising review: "I bought this product to liven up my apartment, and I love it! It arrived quickly and was easy to set up. The only issue I have was that the cord for the plug is WAY too short, I had to buy a cord extender so I could plug it in. But the lights are very soft, not too bright. Perfect! There are many different settings too for the lights to glow, or blink in. Definitely a bang for your buck.👌🏽" —Chloe

1Man1Garage is a Tennessee-based small business owned by artisan Marcus Williams. He sells a wide variety of handcrafted wooden items.
Note that the "Mini" kit is only suitable for use with a candle. The "Basic" and "Deluxe" boxes can both be used with fuel (not included, but you can buy some on Amazon), but the "Basic" kit requires that you provide your own heat-resistant sand to disperse the heat of the flame away from the wood.
Promising review: "It's a beautiful piece. A little difficult to put together at first. Once I figured it out, it all came together and is stunning. I would recommend this item." —Jeff Hart
Get it from 1Man1Garage on Etsy for $32+ (available in three styles).
Promising review: "Love this bathtub caddy so much! It’s exactly what I wanted. The sides extend, allowing you to adjust the length, and it even works with a tub that is built against a wall. I was worried the ledge nearest the wall wouldn’t be wide enough but this caddy works great! And the little iPhone slot is a nice touch. Definitely recommend! Buy it! You won’t regret it." —Bailey

Promising review: "I got the waffle weave after-bath robe after wanting one for years, and I couldn’t be happier. I like to take raging hot baths but afterward sweat a lot…this robe takes care of everything without getting slimy or wet…now I can relax with a cup of tea and let the robe take care of the drippings. Well worth the cost." —Anne G.

These bowl huggers are machine-washable for easy cleaning!
Promising review: "I use this for my soup bowls very often. My hubby and I often eat our dinner by the TV and I make a lot of homemade soups and stews that he loves. These little 'bowl Huggers' make it easy to sit with your soup on your lap, they keep the soup hotter, and they keep the bowl from burning your legs. Cozy!!" —badputter

Promising review: "Great value for an excellent memory foam topper. We put it on top of an IKEA mattress and it turned that uncomfortable bed into luxury." —Skip
Get a two-inch topper from Amazon for $55+ (available in sizes Twin–California King as well as a three-inch-thick version).
This mattress recently took up residence in my newly put-together guest room and so far it has been a hit according to me and guests, alike. It's definitely plush and squishy, but not so much that you feel like you're sinking in. The mattress is cool to the touch, so whatever breathable foam layer they're touting seems to be doing its job. I've spent time (comfortably) lounging on it, and my parents spent several nights sleeping on it and raved about how comfortable it is, and I'd argue they're tough mattress critics. The only (minuscule) downside is that the squish factor can make it feel like you're going to slip right off the bed if you get too close to the side. But considering most people don't sleep clinging to the edge, It's not really a problem. Overall SO pleased with this mattress-in-a-box and highly recommend!

The purifier filters allergens, mold, pet dander, dust, smoke, and cooking odors, and covers up to 219 square feet. Plus, there's a smart indicator to let you know when it's time to put in a new replacement filter.
Promising review: "I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes — two or three times daily, and general cleaning — I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits' end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished — no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! I also enjoy the nightlight. Very helpful without disturbing sick sleepy babies recovering from illness." —victoria Mohagen

Fire this massage pillow up with the included power adaptor and enjoy pre-timed 20-minute sessions with auto shutoff and overheat protection!
Promising review: "My wife and I got this pillow for her mom during the holidays and she raved so much we decided to get our own. And what a great decision! This massage pillow provides amazing relief for back and shoulder pain. I have tried so many things, and what I love about this pillow is that I don't have to hold the massager. I can just lean back, place it on the spot on my shoulder or back that is tight, and relax. I have definitely noticed a difference after a month of use — my shoulders are no longer so tense and the range of motion in my back feels freer. The heat is also a great touch, and the protective sleeve helps to keep it from getting too hot. If you're on the fence about whether or not to buy, I highly recommend!" —Abcxyz

Wickry Candle Co is a Carrollton, Texas-based Etsy shop creating luxurious soy candles to keep your home smelling great.
Promising review: "I sprayed this on my sofa a week ago, and we still smell it on our sofa! These sprays are legit. If you enjoy Wickry’s candles, believe me when I say, you would not be disappointed with their sprays. You’ve made me a loyal customer for life!" —Jess

Promising review: "I got the three-pack, one for me and two as gifts to friends who are trying to reduce waste. We all love these lighters because a single charge really does last, we don't have to buy any more disposable lighters for the foreseeable future, and the length is perfect for hard-to-reach wicks. Getting used to how to place the arc on the wick and understanding that there was a safety timeout took me a bit to get used to but wasn't frustrating." —Salim

This diffuser is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The large 400-milliliter water tank allows for up to 12 hours of continuous mist
Promising review: "I bought this for my bedroom. It is very easy to use and set up. All I had to do was download the app, link it to my phone, put water in the reservoir, add my essential oil, put the top on, and turn it on. It has two settings for the flow of the mist: weak and strong. This feature and the light on the unit can be controlled from the app. For the light, you can use the color wheel to pick one color or have it rotate through all the colors. This is probably the best oil diffuser I bought because it works really well and the Wi-Fi feature is a major plus." —andrew

Teal Tumbleweed is a Wichita Falls, Texas-based Etsy shop selling a wide selection of MTO cozies, keychains, stickers, and more with personalization options to fit any taste.
Promising review: "This was one of the best purchases I've made on Etsy. It really is the little things in life that bring so much joy. This item was SO well made, it was thick enough to keep my hands warm and ice cream cold. It was the perfect size for my ice cream pink and fit very snug. The spoon holder is an added plus for when your juggling a lot of things but don't have anywhere to set your spoon down. I loved it so much I went back and bought four as gifts for this holiday season. THANK YOU!" —alexa

Smash + Tess is a Vancouver, Canada-based small biz founded by a mother-daughter-bestie trio with a mission to create a slower, better (and more comfortable) fashion brand using sustainable materials and local ethical production.
This thing is mad comfy. It's like butter, even after several washes. I've worn the absolute crap out of it over the last several months and it has some minor pilling, but otherwise is still in perfect condition — not a fraying thread in sight. It's a great investment, as it'll still fit even through major size fluctuations and it's really easy to style. I'm 5'9" and the legs pulled down all the way are just slightly cropped, but this jumpsuit allows for cuffing or even pulling pantlegs up for more of a capri look. I absolutely cannot recommend these rompers enough, especially if you're in the market for loungewear that still makes you feel cute!
Get it from Smash + Tess for $119 (available in sizes 3XS–4X and in three colors).
Promising review: "This is by far the most elegant throw I’ve ever received. It’s a super soft and classy knit, the fringe stays nice, and the color is amazing (I purchased the teal). It’s cozy and feels SO nice, soft, and not too light but not heavy. Absolutely gorgeous...soft, cozy, classy!! I’ve had mine for a couple of months now and have laundered it one time, and it came out beautifully, no snarls in the fringe, no pulls, and it did not fade. Gorgeous as a gift to yourself, or anyone! Very nice!" —Loskidoodley

It's recommended that you choose a blanket weight that is 6%–10% of your total body weight. For example, a 15-lb blanket is suitable for individuals who weigh between 150 lbs and 190 lbs.
Promising review: "This blanket is very soothing! It's very relaxing at the end of the day. I feel like my energy is becoming calmed and contained when I am stressed out. When I am extra stressed I fold the blanket lengthwise, doubling the weight and lay it over me for the first 15 minutes and my muscles begin to release, almost like a massage." —lamplight

Cadence Candle Co. is a Black woman-owned small biz based in Washington, DC creating hand-poured, soy-blended candles to help you light a vibe in your home with the help of thoughtfully blended fragrances and accompanying playlists for every candle.
BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga tested the brand's best-selling "Better Days" candle and has great things to say about the experience:
"I received a candle from this brand to test and I am *so* into this entire concept. I live for a great candle and listening to music during my evening bath, so the fact this was able to really add something to the experience made it a 10/10 for me. Cadence Candle Co. is a Black woman-owned business that, IMO, has come up with a genius product. I won't spoil any of the songs that are on the playlist, but know that the founder Taelor has a true gift for curating soothing sounds that go great with the flickering of a candle."
Get it from Cadence Candle Co. for $28 (available in other scents).
I've had this coffee table for a few months now and am really happy with it. It's a good size without feeling too big for a compact apartment space and the lift-top feature and all the extra storage it creates are perfect for eating dinners in front of the TV and hiding away clutter. It wasn't difficult to assemble, but it was time-consuming, and I've experienced smoother lift-tops with other models but, for the price, I think it's pretty fantastic. The included storage baskets for underneath are a nice bonus (and very spacious). Overall, a great piece of budget-friendly furniture.

Promising review: "I'm an incoming freshman this fall and I bought this to add some personality to my dorm. It has beyond exceeded my expectations! I placed it directly on top of my dorm bed as shown in the display photos and am so pleased with how it looks. It fits perfectly with the grey/white color scheme I was going for and have received numerous compliments from both my friends and RAs when they've visited. I cannot stress enough how much of an 'aesthetic feel' it adds to my dorm." —jhsgf

This lasts for six months of daily journaling. But it's un-dated, so you don't have to waste pages if you skip a day.
Promising review: "Received this as a gift and have paid it forward a few times! Practice mindfulness with a positive emphasis. I love the idea of journaling, but often I've written pages of complaints. Not anymore. This guides your focus to positive thoughts and memories. Great gift to receive and give.
