    42 Little Gifts You Definitely Deserve Right Now

    Treat yourself to a lil' somethin' somethin'.

    1. Essence Lash Princess Mascara might just leave people wondering if you recently got eyelash extensions (which it feels like everyone and anyone has been raving about). Joke's on them!

    2. Crayola Globbles, a fun lil' toy you can use to burn off some steam in between meetings or when you just need a quick mental break. Don't worry, they won't leave residue on your walls.

    Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My daughter is 4 and plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Kindle Customer

    3. The Body Shop Cleansing Butter, capable of removing waterproof makeup (wow???) while also enriching your skin with the soothing effects of camomile tea. Soothing in so many ways.

    4. A bag of powdered cheddar, because if you're like me the moment anything bad happens (big or small) in my day I just want to curl up with a classic "boxed" mac 'n' cheese and de-stress. Perhaps not the healthiest coping mechanism, but it's mine.

    5. A Baby Yoda night-light that, for lack of a better term, will become your *guiding light* as you make your way through your hallway in the middle of the night when you'll inevitably have to pee.

    6. sandwich cutter and sealer that'll make it easier than ever to make Smuckers Uncrustables copycats at home — embrace your love of kid-friendly meals once and for all!

    Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak

    Get it from Amazon for $15.96.

    7. An activity book that has been specifically designed for the writer to destroy once they've finished it — you can dig deep into your past, present, and future without any pressure to commit to daily journaling.

    8. Essie's "Set in Stones" glitter polish, a must-have for anyone who wants to *~make the whole room shimmer~* a la Taylor Swift (or at the very least, your nails).

    9. A blackhead scrub stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!"

    Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly

    10. An eight-pack of fluffy bow headbands to keep your tresses out of your way while you flawlessly recreate Kim Kardashian's most-recent makeup look. They'll also work wonders when washing said look away.

    Promising review: "These are not something I normally would have thought of to buy for myself, but after buying them as little 'thank you' gifts for others, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM!!! They are super soft, come in adorable prints and instantly make you feel girly and fabulous. I even had to order more because my daughters started stealing them from me! I use them for keeping my hair out of my face when doing my morning and nightly beauty routines. I also use them instead of a shower cap to keep the hair around my forehead and neck from getting wet. They are easy to wash and hold up well, just throw in a garment bag. I think these are way better and more comfortable than the traditional headbands and hairclips I was using before. I am one happy lady and I absolutely recommend this product!" —In Style With Celeste

    Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two pattern sets).

    11. A curtain of twinkle lights to make you feel like you're sleeping inside a magical fairyland. Who wouldn't want that?

    12. A colorful beaded bracelet featuring your initial, sure to become your new fave accessory because it's *all about you* (duh).

    13. A set of custom stickers you'll be able to make of whoever you want — your pet, your own face, Harry Styles, the list goes on and on.

    14. Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary Blend coffee to make you feel like you actually just picked up a cup on Main Street. Sigh, I miss it so much.

    15. High-waisted leggings you can throw on to lounge around your apartment or pair with an oversized sweater for brunch — truly the most versatile (and necessary) item of clothing you'll ever own.

    16. A cleaning pen, so all of your jewels (whether they're real or not) will be so sparkly everyone will wonder where you got 'em from.

    17. A Two Minute Mornings journal complete with gratitude prompts you can use to start your day off on a positive note (even BEFORE coffee, can you imagine!?).

    18. Gold under-eye collagen masks you can break out for an at-home spa night or whenever you "accidentally" stay up all night bingeing something new on Netflix and you need some de-puffing.

    19. A smiley-faced Scrub Daddy sponge that'll make doing the dishes a bit more enjoyable — how could you resist smiling back at this lil' guy???

    20. Matte hair clips made to work with *all* hair types — yes, even if you've broken your hairbrush while trying to comb through your bedhead, you can rock one of these beauties!

    21. A chic faux-leather belt to act as the finishing touch on every outfit that just seems to be missing *something*.

    Silk pillowcases are said to reduce creases in your skin and prevent breakage and tangling in your hair — which is why I sleep on one every night. I also just love pretending I'm Duchess Kate Middleton or the Queen of England with my fancy freakin' pillow. This one has over 12K 5-star reviews on Amazon, so you know it's the real deal.

    Promising review: "After doing some research I found that silk pillowcases could help with frizzy hair. I could not be happier that I bought these because now I can wake up without looking like Mufasa had a bad blowout. Not to mention they are incredibly soft and smooth and I love putting my face on it. Also my boyfriend has noticed a significant decrease in his acne since using this pillow case. I couple this pillow case with a miracle bamboo pillow and it is truly heaven, it has become impossible to get out of bed." —Khalysee

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in seven sizes and 30 colors).

    28. 2023 Taylor Swift calendar filled with gorgeous illustrations any Swiftie would adore looking at each day — it even calls out specific dates like when album's were originally released, Tay's birthday (Dec 13, duh), and a dinner date with Este (IYKYK!).

    Ally Makes Magic is a woman-owned small business based in Jacksonville, Florida, that makes a variety of pop culture-inspired merch (I mean, just look at this "Getaway Car" sticker).

    I ordered this calendar the moment I saw it because... why not??? The illustrations are as beautiful as Taylor Swift in the 'Bejeweled' music video (if you know, you know) and the monthly themes are absolutely spot-on for Swifties. Seriously, I nearly cried when I discovered November's 'All Too Well' theme. However, my favorite part is the specially noted dates throughout! Every album release (up to Evermore) is written in the calendar! Sorry for the spoiler, but there are also adorable lyrics appropriately sprinkled throughout that you won't be able to help but squeal over. For example, January 1st reads, 'I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day' and September 12th says 'Dinner w/ Este.' You can find me counting down the days to January so I can break this beauty out and stare at it next to my desk. It's what Taylor would want, right?" 

    Promising review: "This calendar is even more than I expected! I love the details on the dates of when albums were released. The song quotes work perfectly. Bought for my friend and can't wait to give it to him!!" —Julie porter

    Get it from Ally Makes Magic on Etsy for $31.62

    29. Pastel glow-in-the-dark stars that'll look as magical during the day as they do when they're all aglow at night.

    30. A set of Moon Globes you can leave in your fridge or freezer then break out when your skin is in need of some *chill time*. A must for anyone who is prone to puffy under-eyes.

    31. A trio of skincare items from Glossier that'll look *so* nice next to each other on your bathroom counter and help you achieve that glowy, dewy look you've been working on.

    a bottle of milky jelly cleanser, a squeeze tube of priming moisturizer, and a smaller squeeze tube of skin salve

    32. Sorel Kinetic Impact Lace Sneakers with a futuristic look to them, perfect for recreating the flawless athleisure look you always see the influencers rockin'

    I have a pair of these in the Sea Salt/Yellow style and am *obsessed* At first I naively thought I was supposed to untie the laces — please learn from my errors and note that the laces actually do go around the bottom of the shoe! They're a fun play on the street style trend and quickly have become a favorite in my sneaker line-up. I wore them throughout my entire pregnancy (even to the hospital!), so I can truly confirm how comfy they are.

    Promising review: "I normally don't like wearing tennis shoes all day because my feet tend to sweat in them, then swell when I take them off. These are the best brand of tennis shoes I have ever owned. They feel wonderful on my arthritic feet, and my feet breathe in them all day, so they never sweat and don't swell up when I take them off. I bought a second pair in white. Well worth the money. All my other tennis shoes are going to Goodwill." —SBoo

    Get them from Amazon for $72.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 17 styles).

    33. An embroidered journal that'll look so gorgeous sitting on your nightstand you might just actually convince yourself to stop doom scrolling and write some thoughts down.

    34. The Wand, a handheld filter designed to remove the histamines and sulfites in alcohol that may trigger headaches and hangovers. This lil' gadget will have you singing out "blesssss my souuuuul" like one of The Muses from Hercules.

    35. A toothpaste cap for anyone who typically wakes up singing "Somebooooody once told me the world was gonna roll me" a la one of the greatest soundtracks of all time... Shrek.

    36. A rainbow prism suncatcher that'll improve your mood daily, I mean, how could it not? It'll fill your room with whimsical dancing rainbows!

    37. Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend you'll want to sprinkle on everything — and you should because it's really freakin' delicious.

    38. Cat tarot cards that'll have you saying "are you kitten me?" when you give yourself an extremely accurate reading.

    39. A set of LED light saber chopsticks you'll probably misplace in your utensil drawer but then have the opportunity to exclaim "THESE are the ones I've been looking for!" once you finally find them.

    40. A handheld lamp you will surely find yourself *mooning* over each night.

    Check out a TikTok of the moon lamp in action. 

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is obsessed with this gadget:

    "UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top selling products pages for so long that I was like "Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!" And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases."

    41. Splatoon 3 for Nintendo Switch for any gamer who has loved every other iteration of the game — you can head off to Splatsville and indulge in the chaos as you fend off Salmonid bosses!

    Promising review: "Nintendo didn't reinvent the wheel with this sequel, but refined it. A lot of the issues in Splatoon 2 have been addressed, including improving match making with friends. This is a game that you can easily spend the evening playing with your friends trying to get the best scores in each match. Very fun!" —wargski25

    Get it from Amazon for $57.80 (available in a physical or digital copy).

    42. And a Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee dog toy that technically is for your pup but will definitely delight you time and time again when you're sipping on your own morning beverage while they play.

    So, what do you think? Shall we treat ourselves to a little something to get through the week?
