    Reviewers say to pay attention to the measurements, because it's smaller than they assumed!

She uses it as a place to put her rings when she is doing things in the kitchen. It’s the perfect size, and she was very impressed. I didn’t want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn’t that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?" —NMW

    Promising review: "First let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now, and in the beginning, I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks, I just decided to leave it on, and it has been fine. I never take it off, the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that, I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price, and I am very pleased." —tracy k revels

    Promising review: "This suit is so pretty! I was nervous that for the price, it would be poor quality, but it looks just like the photos. The material is nice and thick, and I love that it’s padded. I’m between a small and medium, so I sized up based on other reviews." —Morgan Meldrum

    Promising review: "After reading reviews and seeing similar body types to mine, I decided to take the big leap and buy this suit. I'm about 200 lbs., wear a 16–20 depending on the brand. I have a VERY difficult time finding bathing suits that fit the way I want. I took the advice of other reviews and purchased the 3XL or otherwise labeled as a US 12/14. HOLY HECK, THIS ONE BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER!!! The fit is perfect. I'm very glad the bust area had more fabric! I may just buy this in every color." —Emma Mass

Soft and absorbent, just the right thickness, has some wear and tear after just a couple of months, but we use them daily and have washed and dried them a lot. Definitely worth the price." —CA

    Get it from Amazon for $39.50 (available in sizes 4–18 and eleven styles). 

    20. A retro-style air fryer, because with the millennial love for all things vintage and air-fried, this was less of a possibility and more of an inevitability. A cute and ridiculously handy inevitability, though — this has 10 preset digital functions to air fry, toast, bake, broil, roast, reheat, warm, slow cook, and dehydrate, and has a "family size" capacity so you can whip up a whole meal at once. 

    Promising review: "I recently bought this air fryer. It has a sleek design and cool color, adding a modern touch to my kitchen. Setting up was a breeze, and the user-friendly control panel makes it easy to adjust settings depending on what I am cooking. Efficient cooking, consistent results, and easy cleanup make it the perfect addition to my kitchen. Overall, a very solid choice!" —Xinkai Chen

    Get it from Amazon for $229.99 (clip the $20 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in six colors).

    Paper Peony Press is a Texas-based boutique publishing company that specializes in purpose-driven books. 

    Promising review: "I’ve tried several instructional books on hand lettering. This book is the best by far. I won’t say the names of the other books but suffice it to say they are all at the top of the list when you search for hand lettering. It is the only book that gives practice for the base strokes and also discusses posture and how to hold the pen and at what angle to the paper. It is also a lovely book to work with; nice art work/illustrations. I recommend this book to other beginners out there!" —Karen Rorick

    23. A vintage-inspired sheer panel dress reviewers love for its unique glam, comfy fabric, and *sheds a tiny tear* pockets.

    Promising review: "I decided to go with a simple pair of black heels and a classic pearl necklace to complement the dress. Even without the perfect accessories, I felt confident and stylish throughout the tea party. The dress's fit and flare silhouette made me feel like I had stepped right out of a retro fashion magazine. As the afternoon turned into evening, I found myself twirling around the room, feeling like a true vintage fashion icon." —Latoya Stokes

    Get it from Amazon for $34.98+ (available in women's sizes 4–20 and in eleven colors and prints).

    Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!).

    Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in three colors).

    25. And a flower petal-shaped velvet chair so you can take "sitting pretty" as literally as possible. Reviewers love that the set up was a total breeze, and that the chair is even comfier than it looks.

    Promising review: "Very pretty. Goes perfectly in my room. 🌸 I love to use it to hang my lavender-colored towel, lol. Easy to install and beautiful to look at, instead of a boring screw or hook. Love the different color options, too. But the pink one is the best, in my opinion." —Gabby

    Get it from Amazon for $11.66+ (available in seven colors and in multipacks). 

    29. A sweet little floral notebook you can use for everything from to-do lists to quick diary entries to maintaining a dream journal. (It's important to figure out the significance of your subconscious imagining all those penguins on that roof!!)

    Eighty Eight Miracles is a small business that specializes in tarot decks. 

    Promising review: "I've been reading tarot for close to15 years and have had many decks. This deck is one of the most beautiful I have purchased. I love the simplicity and elegance of the gold on black. I also love the enormous size. Yes they are a bit more difficult to work with, but I've always loved larger decks. They give an air of mystery, glamour, and drama. I recommend shuffling sideways or doing a table shuffle." —K. Lily

    32. A retro-style 12-cup programmable coffee maker that has all the bells and whistles of its sleeker, modern counterparts, and all the nostalgic aesthetic of the '60s. It has a "keep warm" function that works for two hours before automatically shutting off, and you can even schedule it to make coffee at a particular time each day so you're never caught caffeine-less again.

    pastel pink version of the coffee maker

    Promising review: "We have had a few other appliances from Nostalgia and we've been very pleased with the brand, so when my wife was looking for a coffee maker and we saw this was Nostalgia brand, the purchase was a no brainer. It looks great on our counter, it works pretty much like every other coffee pot, and the reusable filter is a great touch too. And my wife swears this coffee is better than the last coffee maker." —G. King 

    Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three colors). 

    33. A sweet little bedside alarm clock worth buying not just for the ~aesthetic~, but to set an alarm that ISN'T your phone, so you aren't tempted to start your day getting sucked into a TikTok-Instagram-whatever we're calling Twitter this week black hole before you even get out of bed.

    red version of the clock on a counter

    Promising review: "Small, cute, functional clock. It’s simple and user-friendly. Great for travel or to use at home. It emits no ticking sound, perfect for those who need silence at night, and has a standard beep alarm. I’ve used it as a bedside alarm clock and have found it to be accurate. I’ve used it simply to display in the living room as well, because it looks great anywhere! It’s only downside is there doesn’t seem to be a light/glowing hands to determine the time in the dark if needed, which can be helpful if you’re using it as a bedside alarm. Otherwise, it’s a great clock." —Kinsey Maneval 

    Get it from Amazon for $20.75+ (available in three colors). 

    34. A retro-style speaker with a whole circus of hidden talents — not only does this function as an old school, dial-controlled AM/FM radio, but it connects to devices via Bluetooth *and* AUX, and even serves as a wireless charging pad on the top. This beautiful gadget is the definition of "flex."

    Amazon

    Fuse Audio is a small business that specializes in retro-style radios and vinyl record players. 

    Promising review: "I’m very pleased with this purchase. It has a warm sound and, unlike some other brands, doesn’t betray the retro vibe with digital volume or tuning controls. It works exactly like the old radios, but with the bonus of Bluetooth and wireless charging. I also love the details like the side speaker vents and the feel of the volume and tuning knobs. Everything about it speaks quality. The only thing about its appearance that tells me this isn’t an an actual 1940s or 50s radio is its size, which is slightly smaller than the real McCoy." —Placeholder

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99

    35. A retro-style smoothie maker that honestly has a lot of audacity being that cute AND that functional?? It blends in either a LITERAL MASON JAR or a plastic portable sports bottle you can pop right off and drink from. But don't you dare underestimate this cute little bean — it can crush ice and blend frozen fruit like nobody's business. 

    Promising review: "Wow. I have been through many high-end blenders that have broken or just didn’t cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn’t leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I’ve never written a review here before, but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it’s so cute on the counter!" –Casey

    Get it from Amazon for $37.88 (available in two colors).

    36. A glamorous (but delightfully lightweight!) vintage-style luggage set, because the airport is nothing if not a stage for you to pretend you're a 1940s movie star who fell out of a time machine. 

    Blue rolling trunk and briefcase with accents of of a cream beige color
    white version with the briefcase open to show pink lining

    Each set comes with a rolling suitcase with telescoping handles and a matching briefcase. 

    Promising review: "If you’re debating whether to get them, do it! They look far more high-end than the price you pay for them, and they’re sturdier than I’d hoped. My daughter also has a set in another color, and she flew to and from Hawaii with them (and their covers) with success. I can’t say enough good things about this set. In fact, I plan to purchase the larger piece for air travel, now that I know that they hold up well, and are roomy and secure." —Lance and Yolanda
