1. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that you can use for playing white noise to fall asleep, listening to your fave podcast or music while traveling or working out, and ~so much more.~ You'll be the envy of everyone else still dealing with their earbuds falling out mid-run and mid-sleep.
2. A chunky knit satin-lined winter beanie with a detachable faux fur pom-pom to keep your head toasty warm without disrupting your hairstyle or causing a case of dreaded hat hair.
Promising review: "Best winter hat I have ever owned!! I love the color and I also love how it keeps my hair in place. I love running and hiking, and I have never lost this hat while running. It doesn't even feel like you're wearing anything at all, but it keeps me so warm. It's very comfortable especially for some of us with big afros." —Evermoore

Promising review: "10000000/5 stars!!!!!! I just shoveled our driveway for an hour in 2-degree weather, and my legs NEVER got cold. While my hands, face, feet, and arms were cold...legs were nice and toasty. I am recommending these to everyone!!!" —jc

5. A bottle of Drop It that'll naturally remove tannins and sulfates from your wine in a mere *20 seconds*, so you'll be free of those wine hangovers that somehow crop up after just one glass. 😭 When you're the only one in the group chat the next day without a splitting headache, everyone will want your secret.
6. A jar of The Pink Stuff, a bestselling part-cleaner, part-magic potion that can clean pretty much anything you put to the test — including stains, grease, and grime on cement, tile, laminate, glass, and wood.
7. A water-resistant Under Armour face mask whose Iso-Chill fabric technology helps it not overheat, getting rid of one of the most uncomfy parts of mask-wearing IMO. It’s also designed to sit off your lips so you won’t get fabric in your mouth anymore (we love to see it)!!
8. Plus streak-free anti-fog spray to prevent your eyeglasses, sunglasses, and face shields from fogging up while you're masking (or while you're just plain cold). It also works on swim goggles and motorcycle helmets!
9. A set of wireless Bluetooth earbuds because a good AirPods dupe is ALWAYS worth celebrating LOL, and over 219,000 5-star raters agree. Since they're wireless, they also won’t get tangled up with your mask! These are about to be a huge life upgrade.
10. A Pet House candle that masks those infamous and varied pet *smells* so darn well and ENJOYABLY that it'll soon be the only scent your friends ever smell at your apartment — and what’s more, they’ll love it, too.

The subscription will help remind you to dispose of old blades once they're past their time and ensure you get new, high-quality blades to keep your skin healthy. Leave it to Athena to make the sometimes arduous, often difficult activity of shaving accessible and even luxurious.
TBH, never using a rusty razor again is itself something to celebrate. Each kit comes with two five-blade cartridges with stainless-steel blades, one razor handle, and one rust-proof magnetic hook.
Promising review: "Best razor EVER! This razor is amazing! Such a close shave and my legs are so silky afterward! AND it doesn't irritate my legs like other razors. Never going back!" —Lori
Get it from Athena Club for $9 (available in nine handle colors and a variety of subscription plans).
17. A subscription to MeUndies because a fresh, crispy clean pair of undies is TBH nothing less than a thing of happiness. Add in fun designs like adorable French bulldogs or ice cream?? I'm sold. It’s a fun way to reinvent yourself in little ways with every new delivery!
18. An ADORABLE book tracker bookmark for a visual representation of all of your reading, and to inspire you to read ~even more~ so you can add the title of your finished book and color in the little spine! This is the perfect little treat for all us bookworms. I (Haley) just bought one for myself since I love to read but don't read as much as I'd like to these days — this cute tracker is helping me keep ~on track.~ Plus, the little sleeping cat is to DIE for!
AND since it's a bookmark, you won't need to have an internal fight with yourself about dog ear-ing your book pages anymore. (So convenient, but bad for the book!) The bookmark has 50 book spines on it.
Promising review: "What a unique bookmark! It is made with very sturdy material and has held up nicely to being colored in many times and switched between books. I ordered multiples because I know they will fill up quickly. My first one is about halfway full already! Would definitely buy again, and I've already recommended it to friends! :)" —Noelle Pecher
British Book Art is based in Bath, England and carries a variety of book tracker bookmarks and other fun book-inspired art.
Get it from British Book Art for $3.16.
19. The Always Pan from Our Place, which is basically a lifesaver for reluctant cooks such as myself. It has nine (!) cookware functions, so it can (*takes deep breath*) braise, sear, steam, store your spoon (with a built-in spoon rest), strain, sauté, fry, boil, and serve. COUNT 👏 ME 👏 IN. 👏
20. A popular time-marked water bottle for helping you and your friends pace yourselves throughout the day to make sure you hit your hydration goals.
21. Iridescent privacy film to put on your windows for some extra privacy from your neighbors and to give your windows a seriously DELIGHTFUL rainbow stained glass look that you and your guests will love looking at and losing yourselves in. (P.S. — reviewers report that their cats love the sparkles this film creates, too!)
These attach using static cling so that they're easy to remove. They also block up to 96% of UV rays and can cut down on your energy bill by helping to keep heat out in summer and reflect warmth in the winter.
Promising review: "This is so pretty! If you get very close to it you can see out, so knowing who is outside your home is not an issue like I worried it would be. The rainbows this thing puts out while still letting in light are unreal. It even looks cool at night. Installation was easy; the only part I struggled with was cutting a straight line — a razor blade worked best, as trimming the edges with my kitchen scissors was impossible. Everyone that has come over compliments it. Conversation piece! My cats even seem to like it." —allensca13
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
22. Miracle-Gro food spikes that reviewers claim work miracles to revive and keep plants alive no matter what your level of green thumb is. They feed plants for 30–60 days!!
23. Hidden bookshelves that give the illusion of floating so you can show off all your favorite books and marvel at how cool these look, like all the time. Literally SHOW me something cooler than this. I'M WAITING.
The small bookshelves are designed to hold up to 15 pounds and the large bookshelves are designed to hold up to 20 pounds.
Promising review: "I bought two of these in August 2010, and in the last 10 years I've used them in three different apartments. I just put them up in apartment number three and was once again blown away with how awesome they look. Every time I put them up I'm like, 'WOW WOW WOW, these are AMMMMAAAZZINNNNNGGGG!!!' If you love decorating with books, this is a must-buy!" —Jlands

27. Phytosurgence Toasted Blushes for unique, earthy colors that are stunning on all skin tones and *beyond* live up to the hype — the potent cream formula will be a dream on you and every one of your friends.
These basically mouthwatering shades are described as lavender oat latte, brown sugar milk tea, cherry wine, and spiced chocolate bar.
Check it out on TikTok here.
I (Haley) stumbled upon Phytosurgence one day and I have never looked back. All of their products are meticulously formulated with natural ingredients and rich, unique shades that you won't be able to dupe anywhere else – trust me, I've looked lol. My sensitive skin loves these blushes and the blush geek in me (or fully embodying me) is SCREAMING. My personal favorite is Condensate, a cool-toned muted dusty rose, but Evaporate, a neutral smoky peach, is a crowd favorite of the bunch. Plus, they're so affordable for such high-quality. A million chef's kisses.
Phytosurgence is a queer, Asian-owned small business based in Canada.
Get it from Phytosurgence for $21 (available in four shades).
28. A heated eye massager to elevate your chill session to new relaxation heights. This gadget helps soothe stress, migraines, eye strain, and even insomnia. I sing the praises of this constantly so in no time you, too, will be the Pied Piper of your crew.
It sports five different massage settings, a 15-minute timer, and Bluetooth capabilities.
I (Haley) bought this a year ago to help with dry eyes and migraines, and it is one of my favorite purchases maybe of all time. It has helped me with my eyes and my headaches, but also with so much more — it helps me relax when I'm stressed or anxious, and puts me to sleep like a baby. I make sure I have this with me if I'm sleeping away from my apartment because I love it so much. It's also easy to clean with an alcohol wipe, or even with face wash. I was hesitant to buy this because it seemed a little pricey, but I'm SO happy I ended up buying it, and at this point, I think it's worth twice as much, or more, than I paid for it. I can't recommend it enough!
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.999 (available in three colors).
29. A Crave Naturals detangling brush that'll gently detangle your hair while minimizing breakage and the dreaded puling and tearing that often accompanies brushing hair (*sobs*). It's so gentle that reviewers love it for use on their kids!
30. An Orolay jacket with a sherpa-lined hood, aka *the* Amazon coat, which is so popularly beloved that it may or may not be worn by the whole of New York City at this point — which itself attests to how truly cozy, affordable, and downright wonderful this coat is.
31. A blackout roller stamp so you can finally do something with that growing stack of documents that you want to get rid of but can't until you've shredded it (and TBH it won't be getting shredded for a long, long time...if ever, because who actually owns a shredder these days??).
Promising review: "I liked this product so much I bought another one as a gift. It works as promised, and you really cannot read what is underneath the stamp. A black permanent marker wasn't working very well and sometimes shredding takes too long. This is a great product." —Figs5
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight colors).
32. A bottle of Truff hot sauce, which is, in short, an awesome combo of truffles and hot sauce that'll elevate every dish to something gourmet. You just made your friends’ movie night popcorn that much tastier.
33. Essence's Lash Princess mascara for truly dramatic length without clumping or flaking. This mascara is cruelty-free, has over *200,000* 5-star ratings, and is less than $5. What else could a mascara lover want?? Speaking as one myself: not much, and all your beauty lovin' friends are gonna want in, too.
34. A pair of sleek touchscreen-friendly gloves for keeping your hands cozy while texting, scrolling, and playing "Threes" to your heart’s content. Your glee will be infectious.
35. A cold brew coffee maker because everyone knows iced coffee is better, *including* in cold weather.
36. Plus a set of Bottle Bright tablets, which are basically the hack to making even your grimiest bottles, travel mugs, and coffee carafes like new.
37. Hyper Skin's Brightening Dark Spot Vitamin C Serum to help calm inflamed skin, prevent future breakouts, and *d r a m at i c a l l y* reduce hyperpigmentation using a combination of turmeric, salicylic acid, and 15% vitamin C. Reviewers agree that this serum is basically the GOAT.
This product is also vegan, cruelty-free, and hydroquinone-free.
Promising reviews: "I have struggled with hormonal acne and acne scarring for years. I have tried dozens of products but nothing has made a difference the way Hyper Skin has. Not to sound cheesy, but in two months I have seen better results than I have with years of other products and I'm just now starting my second bottle. I could honestly cry tears of joy. Can't wait to finally have acne and scar-free skin!" —Ameena W.
"My absolute favorite skincare product. Okay, listen sis. I am not loyal when it comes to skincare. I love trying new things and seeing what my skin agrees with. I have jumped brands more times than a salmon jumping out of a fishing net. I also hadn't found the perfect mixture of products for my skin. I have fading acne scars, severe hyperpigmentation, dry skin and the occasional hormonal breakout. But when I discovered Hyper...girl! I had been following them for a long time saying, 'One day I'm definitely going to try this.' So when I decided to splurge and buy an all new routine, I added Hyper to that routine. And I will NEVER leave them. Eva, eva. My skin literally glows everyday because of Hyper. My acne scars have been significantly reduced and my hyperpigmentation is on its way out. I literally could not be happier with this product. Y'all have finally made a loyal customer out of me." —Akliatese H.
Hyper Skin is a Black woman-owned company. Their first product was this serum, after founder Desiree Verdejo couldn't find affordable skincare that both worked well and addressed the needs of skin of color.
Get it from Hyper Skin or Sephora for $36+ (available in two sizes).
38. A leave-in conditioning spray that does it all: conditions, detangles, softens, smoothens, controls frizz, provides heat protection, boosts shine, strengthens hair, hydrates, AND prevents breakage. That's a dream to me!
Reviewers with straight, wavy, and loose curls say this product works great for their hair types.
Promising review: "I read about this in a BuzzFeed article, I wasn't looking for a new product but the reviews in the article made me need to try it out. It shipped and arrived within a week so that was a pretty amazing feat in itself. So... this is 100% my go-to product, it leaves my hair looking smooth, shiny and beautiful everything. The smell was kinda harsh at first, but I've grown to love it. I especially appreciate the natural ingredients, so my hair doesn't feel heavy or weighed down at all. This is a life changer y'all. Definitely worth giving it a chance!" —Ashley B.
