Promising review: "I bought these boots for a trip to London and Dublin. Knowing there would be lots of rain, I needed something to keep my feet dry. I was concerned about the comfort of wearing a rain boot. These boots did not disappoint. They were actually so much more comfortable than I could have imagined. They didn’t rub like some of the booties do. We walked 10 miles a day, right out to package. No blisters or discomfort. I would recommend them to anyone. You must wear socks with them, so plan for sizing accordingly. I logged 40k steps in these boots and now use them as daily barn boots. Great price and great product, cute too." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "At first I was disappointed that this bag wasn't larger but so much can be packed into the bag that if it were any larger I wouldn't be able to carry the weight. People frequently ask where I purchased it because it's such a great shopping bag." —Lauren

They'll get a prepaid card to redeem at the shop or on a membership, which will get them a fresh pair of underwear every month in their preferred style.

When it comes to color/pattern, they can go for adventurous (prints), bold (bright solids), or classic (neutral solids).
MeUndies solved a problem I didn't even know I had. It almost makes me mad, because I was perfectly happy with most of my old underwear until I tried a pair of MeUndies and realized, after my first day wearing them, that I had not had to pick a wedgie or adjust my underwear at all. Something that is so subconsciously a part of my every day just wasn't there with MeUndies underwear. It was kind of magical. And then I promptly gifted a subscription to my boyfriend, who echoed my exact eureka moment back at me. Now I'm passionate about a pair of underwear in a way that I really never saw coming.

Promising review: "Don’t waste time thinking about getting this — just get it! I’m in love with this little gadget! It’s so very easy to use and extremely convenient. All you need to do is plug it in and your home turns into an IHOP. I used this little beaut for the first time this morning and whipped out some perfectly cooked pancakes! It takes about four to five minutes to make each pancake. Expect flawless, golden-brown, consistently crafted pancakes that are completely effortless. And this skillet can be used for more than just pancakes! I fully intend on cooking eggs, bacon, quesadillas, steaks, and whatever else my heart desires on here. I got my eye on that mini waffle maker next!" —LesLeaLuvShopping

Promising review: "These are basically my everyday shoes. I wear them in the office and I wear them out and about. I went out with my friends one night and danced for six hours. My feet were sore by the end of the night but I was able to still walk without taking them off. They're comfortable and look nice. I get compliments on them all the time. Goes with almost all of my outfits." —Quyen

This projector can connect to virtually any device and has a built-in battery that lasts for 1.5–2 hours when fully charged.
Promising review: "iPhone or Android adaptors are not included. However, charging cable micro-USB-to-USB is provided along with HDMI-to-HDMI cable for video transfer. It came charged so I was able to try it out immediately. My phone was projected after about 5-10 seconds of connecting it. Brightness is great even when the ambient light is on. Sound is also pretty clear and decently loud for movies. This is an awesome product, the basics you would want in a projector in a very compact size!" —Lucy

If you're not a spicy mayo lover, get out now. This isn't for you. But if you, like me, are whipping up your own siracha/mayo combinations with more meals than not, then I see absolutely no reason you won't love having this around. Like TRUFF hot sauce, it has that same luxe truffley flavor but isn't quite so spicy. The heat is a lot subtler (which for mayo I think is spot-on). The jars are small so if you're a spicy mayo addict you will go through it, but WOW it is nice to have delicious, pre-made spicy mayo in the fridge. 10/10. Truff, you did it again.

Promising review: "The best necklace I’ve ever had! It’s the perfect size and length, and so dainty! I was worried about the gold fading (because it’s so wonderfully affordable) but it hasn’t — not even a little bit! I’ve worn it every single day for about a month now, even accidentally wore it in a chlorinated pool for a little bit but nothing happened and it’s never been damaged! It has become such a staple for me and my everyday outfit, I don’t feel complete without it anymore. Would highly recommend and will be buying another if this one ever breaks!!" —Brittany Burrahm

The sample comes with four 200-ml bottles. You can default to four Haus flavors of their choice or you can pick your own! Note that due to shipping laws, Haus is currently unable to ship to Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Rhode Island, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, and Utah.
After trying the new Grapefruit Jalapeño flavor (sold out except for as part of the sampler) I can confirm that I'm REALLY into it and the whole Haus concept. Made with tequila-lovers in mind (it me), this refreshing yet subtly spicy drink is delicious on its own and makes for a potent — but yummy — drink with a splash of liquor. I fully intended to try the rest of their flavors, and the sampler kit seems like a great way to do just that!

Promising review: "I got the double hammock to use while camping or at the park/beach. My partner and I tried it out the other day for the first time and it's great. Our combined weight is about 300 pounds and everything held up perfectly. It was simple to set up and using it was fun and relaxing! The hammock material is durable, yet thin/breathable. I was worried it would feel cheap or tarp-like, but it is quite comfortable. We were swinging back and forth and the straps and hammock held tight. I am very happy with this purchase. The colors are much better in person as well! My partner and I could completely close it up around us while inside the hammock, offering privacy or cover from the sun. I imagine it would be nice for sleeping or napping. Highly recommend!" —yoba

It's made from recycled soy wax and recycled paper briquettes to minimize their environmental impact, and burns reliably for over three hours. They can keep lighting and re-lighting it until all the briquettes are burned up.
Promising review: "If you don't have space or time for a backyard fire pit, this is the perfect solution! We use this on our back deck. The flame gets about 12 inches high but is contained in the can. When we're done, we just put the lid on. It lasts for hours and multiple nights of burning. I've ordered as gifts, given as gifts and bought three for our use. Just love this product. It's soy so it's not toxic. Highly recommend!" —J. Bonfilio

Promising review: "I wish I had bought this sooner. Sand doesn't stick to it, they bead water when it just drops onto the towel but it will absorb all the water on your skin when you are drying off. I was wary that all of the commercials and ADs were overselling this but I genuinely couldn't be happier!" —J

Founded by Jessica Mason, Piglet is a United Kingdom-based small biz creating comfortable yet beautiful home essentials like sleepwear, bedding, table linens, curtains, and more. The brand focuses on linen goods because of its relatively low environmental impact, low maintenance, and versatility (it's warm in the winter, breathable in the summer).
This set is very comfortable, washes up well, and doesn't make me feel like a total slob when lounging around the house. I'm usually a medium, but I followed the Piglet sizing guide and opted for a small, which was definitely the right move. The top is a little big under the arms (a common problem for me). It's nothing egregious, but something to keep in mind if you're smaller-chested. As the weather warms I can totally see myself wearing this out of the house for some roof reading or errands and will feel cute and comfortable doing so!
Get it from Piglet for $99 ( available in sizes XS—XL and in blush, midnight stripe, and white).

The entire kit includes five USDA Organic seed tubes (basil, cilantro, parsley, sage, thyme), five soil discs, five peat pots, five wooden plant markers, and 26-page seed starting instructional pamphlet.
Promising review: "I was blown away by this kit! I expected all of the things to be included but the quality of the packaging and the thought that went into this is amazing. The seed containers are so cute! The soil disks make wonderful fluffy soil. The plant markers have a place to date when you plant them. The instruction guide is extraordinarily thorough. The whole package together is perfect to gift to someone." —C.J.

She also said that this is the best gift she had received which made my heart flutter with happiness. I have to look to top this for next year cause I loved her reaction.

Butter by Keba is a woman-owned small business founded by Makeba Lloyd and based in NYC. Their plant-based formulas are made with natural organic essential oils, phthalate-free fragrance, and are paraffin-, petroleum-, and mineral oil-free.
Fellow BuzzFeed writer and product-tester extraordinaire Rachel Dunkel tried this body butter for herself:
"I've been using this body butter for over six months and simply adore it. It goes on in such a perfectly smooth, hydrating layer and soaks into skin quickly while moisturizing literally all day. I have it in the scent 'La Vera' which is delicately light and fresh. One of the things I like most about the body butter is the level of scent — it's not too overwhelming but is definitely present, and most importantly subtly lasts all day."
Get it from Butter by Keba for $20+ (available in two sizes and 10 scents).
The box includes 12 sandwich cookies, each handmade, hand-dipped in milk chocolate, and decorated with six assorted toppings.
Promising review: "Received these cookies for my birthday and what a surprise! Never seen anything like them! They are so pretty and looked perfect in the well-packaged box. Enjoyed Granny Bella's story on the inside of the box. The best part was the treat! So tasty! A nice variety of flavors. Couldn't eat just one!" —Donni Franiak

Promising review: "This hummingbird feeder is made with large powerful suction cups so I have no concerns that the feeder will fall. The nectar is close to the feeding holes so the birds have no trouble feeding. I also like that it's very easy to see that the birds have been feeding, even when you don't catch them in the act because the nectar levels are clearly visible. It's very easy to empty, clean, and refill. I tried two other feeders from other manufacturers and found problems with both, but this one is a keeper!" —Amazon Customer

Sandro Roco, a Queens-born Filipino American, launched the brand in 2018 after noticing a big disconnect between the modern labels of new-age drinks and the preservative- and sugar-laden labels of the legacy Asian brands. Sanzo's sparkling waters aim to bridge cultures, by celebrating authentic Asian flavors using real fruit and no added sugars or artificial flavors.
Promising review: "We drink a lot of seltzer / sparkling waters at the house. I typically buy the generic Whole Foods brand when I get our groceries. I had tried Sanzo a few times in NYC pre-pandemic, and just saw that they are available now via Prime. Nothing against the standard sparkling water flavors / generic brands (they're great value), but Sanzo really takes it to the next level. The flavor profiles are rich and complex, and just incredibly satisfying. I love that they're bringing some of these traditionally underrepresented flavors to market, and the fact that they're a click away with free shipping is quite exciting :-)" —bean
