I bought this puzzle the second I laid my eyes on it — seriously. It's shipping to my home as we speak. I'm a diehard Hercules fan and I love that this one comes in a VHS! If Hercules isn't your thing, it's also available in Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast styles.
Promising review: "Such a throwback with the case it comes in and the pieces are big enough to see, great to pass the time." —VAR8
Get it from BoxLunch for $11.92 (originally $14.90).
With a duvet insert you can also switch out the design of your duvet itself whenever the mood strikes!
Promising review: "After every Casper product I buy, I get more and more excited to sleep every night. The duvet is no exception. Initially from the change, I was warm from the duvet but after the second night, the temperature has been perfect. 10/10 would buy again. PS my dog loves it as well too." —Tony Wang
Get it from Casper for $197.10+ (available in three sizes and two weights).
The set comes with a microfiber duvet cover and two pillow cases. Don't forget to pick up a duvet insert as well!
Promising review: "Absolutely love this duvet. I was having a hard time finding a geometric boho/mid-century–style duvet that wasn’t $200 and up. I love Amazon for this reason! Quality is great, love that it has a zipper instead of buttons. Have literally bought all our bedding from Amazon! This was a perfect addition to our guest room." —Steven W. Finckbeiner
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes twin, full/queen, and king and nine styles).
It's the thinnest and lightest Kindle Amazon has released to date! And — as is made abundantly clear by the photo above — it's 100% waterproof. I'm typically a hardcover girl through and through, but I recently gave the Kindle a whirl. It's very convenient to be able to slip it into any bag without it taking up much real estate and the transition between pages is very smooth.
Promising review: "I love the fact that I can read on this Kindle in both daylight and dim light conditions. It is so light and compact, which makes it easy to hold, easy to travel with, and the battery lasts forever. I love it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in four colors).

When I tell you my Nintendo Switch Lite and my husband's Nintendo Switch have been true game changers in keeping us both entertained over the last year or so I wholeheartedly mean it. From spending hours upon hours building a 5-star island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons and adventuring in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to breaking a sweat playing Fit Boxing 2 and exploring the beautiful world in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, there really isn't anything you can't do on a Nintendo Switch device. Most recently I've been playing the very silly (but surprisingly fun) Miitopia and the extremely soothing new version of Pokémon Snap. The fun to be had on this gadget is endless.
Promising review: "The Switch is Nintendo's best device since the N64. I use my Switch every day. I commute by train so this has been perfect for me. There has never been a handheld this good. The transition to and from docked mode is seamless. The battery life is also pretty decent. Overall, it is a great device. Nintendo's back!" —Arjun S. Kahlon
Get it from Amazon: Nintendo Switch for $399.99+ (available in six styles), Nintendo Switch Lite for $199.99 (available in four styles and storage options).

Promising review: "I’m 17 and I loved this. In the intro it says the page instructions are all up to interpretation, so if it says 'spill your drink' or something you can take that literally or choose to paint on it with something such as tea or coffee that’ll look like brown watercolor. I love that it’s full of bizarre prompts but that you have wiggle room if you don’t want to do anything too crazy. I would recommend this if you’re just looking for something fun or if you’re going through some challenges this is really helpful to distract/express/push yourself!" —Marlee
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
I've been using this serum for a while now (in addition to the other products in the Glass Skin Discovery Kit). It's not super oily, feels really lightweight, and smells fantastic. It's infused with peach extract to help fill your skin with vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to keep it looking fresher than ever.
Promising review: "I use the glass serum twice a day EVERY DAY. It brings a radiance and glow I've never found in other products; it hydrates well without becoming oily later in the day." –Nancy
Get it from Ulta for $39+ (available in two sizes).
I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super fun gadget. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! I'll never have to buy another lighter again.
Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super-minor annoyance. It's a super-intuitive device. Plug the lighter in with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" —Jee W
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their "OMG You're Engaged" candle in a boutique near my NYC apartment a few years ago. I've been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is female-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry. My all-time favorites are the seasonal options — and this year's fall collection surely hasn't disappointed. Evil Queen recently went under a re-brand and the new labels are simply a 10/10. They still feature the sassy one-liners I've grown to appreciate but have a much cleaner look any candle fan will enjoy.
Get it from Evil Queen for $22 and check out the entire fall collection.
I recently received one of these and love it so much it hurts. As someone with anxiety, I've learned how magical it can be to find a weighted item that is both cute and functional — this Minnie Mouse plush checks those boxes. It's soft, snuggly, and the weight inside of it helps create an appropriate amount of pressure when laying down with it. Highly recommend for my fellow anxious Disney Adults.
Get it from shopDisney for $39.99.
I invested in one of these this year and I'm so glad I did — I use it to make lattes at home and have saved a lot of dollars without having to run out to Starbucks every morning (just...once a week or so instead hehe).
Promising review: "OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." —Michelle Pirestani
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 17 colors).
Other reviewers like it in their potatoes, bread, and scrambled eggs.
Promising review: "My 6-year-old son is super picky with his mac 'n' cheese (as in, would only eat Kraft) so when he had to go gluten free it was one of the things he missed the most. We tried all of the prepackaged gluten-free ones and he hated them. We found that he liked Barilla-brand gluten-free elbow pasta so I needed to find a gluten-free cheese to go with with it. This was a hit! I mixed it with a little milk and butter, and he ate two bowls. This is real cheese, all natural ingredients, and they suggest keeping it refrigerated. I'm glad we finally found a replacement for his mac 'n' cheese!" —Naomi A. Dejesus Howard
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two flavors).

Get it from CasualChicken on Etsy for $6.99.
I have one of these bad boys and it has honestly been a game changer. When I posted on my Instagram that I had received one, the responses I got were WILD. People are PASSIONATE about this gadget and now I understand why. I've used it on the arches of my feet and have way less pain than ever before. The nozzle at the end contracts at a high speed (think, a tiny punching machine) that surprisingly doesn't hurt but leaves your body buzzing in a good way. In my opinion, it's worth the money and it actually does work.
Promising review: "I received a Mini as a gift from my daughter last Christmas and LOVE it. It helps my sore muscle, aches and pain a great deal. It’s small, lightweight, and not noisy; I take it everywhere I go. Bought one recently as a gift to my brother for his birthday so we can spread the love and help his aching body." —Po W.
Get it from Therabody for $199 (available in four colors).
I'm shamelessly invested in anything Kylie (or Kim, for that matter) creates, because their products have never failed to disappoint me. My sister gifted me this bottle for my birthday, and I am obsesssssed. BuzzFeed writer (and fellow Kardashian-Jenner product lover) Ali Faccenda also has this delightful product. She said:
"I am obsessed with taking baths and am a sucker for a good salt soak, bath bomb, or bubble bath. This bubble bath is such an elevated adult version (sorry, Mr. Bubbles), and smells like a lush bouquet of roses (aka my favorite flower). You will not regret this purchase. The bottle has lasted me a long time, and a little goes a long way! Ask me if I’m rationing this bubble bath because it smells THAT good."
Get it from Kylie Skin for $26.
Dr Teal's epsom salt is an important part of my pre-bedtime ritual. I'm a bath aficionado and have tried many (many) products in my tub — nothing compares. It smells heavenly, relieves any aches and pains in my body, and helps me to relax overall.
Get it from CVS for $7.79.

I know for a fact that BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord treats herself to sushi every Friday and takes her "treat yo' self" meal a step further by devouring it with these fun chopsticks.
Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T. Redwood
Get them from Amazon for $18.97.
Get a pair from the Grommet for $11 (available in six flavors).
Promising review: "I absolutely recommend buying these if you have really thick hair like me. I haven’t been able to find clips that don’t break in my hair or that hold up all my hair. These clips are really tight, and I wear them at work with no problems, and they come in cute colors!" —Bethany

I was gifted a year of Book of the Month for my birthday one year and to date it is one of the best things I've received. There are few things as satisfying as getting truly lost in the pages of a good book — and it'll provide for a great distraction for your mind if you've recently been stressed. Each month you'll be permitted to choose one of four books, all of which are different genres. Then the book you selected will be delivered to your door. Magic! Excuse me, I need to re-up my subscription.

I just love Rifle Paper Co. and know that if I was having a rather stressful day, glancing over at this beautiful mug would fill me with joy.
Promising review: "These cups are exquisite. I bought three and will get more! 1) they look exactly like the photos. Colors are vivid & beautiful; 2) gold lettering is thick & still subtle (you can see it if you want to and you can watch it disintegrate, too. Super well done); 3) ceramic is solid yet not clunky. Excellent quality; 4) I love a good British cuppa, especially if its made out of fine bone china. These are not, yet hold the heat equally well and are almost as tender on the lip. Totally in love :)" —LiselFrench
Get it from Anthropologie for $14 (available in 26 styles).

With every Kiramoon purchase, they donate a portion of the proceeds to Bring Change To Mind, an organization dedicated to ending the stigma surrounding mental illness.
BuzzFeed writer Ali Faccenda has tried these babies out and loves them:
"Okay, not only are these incredibly fun to look at (they're literally a magical, unicorn-majestical, work of art), they feel so amazingggggg after a long day. After much bloating and a puffy forehead and tense jawline, these are such a relief to use. Skincare and self-care should truly always be this fun. These are an upgrade from facial rollers and WAY cooler."
I recently got these beauties and haven't taken them off since! I love their minimal design, as they coordinate perfectly with the other earrings I already had in my ears. Who doesn't perk up over new jewelry?? Also, they're from Imaginex Ears, a small business that sells an array of Disney-inspired accessories.
Get them from Imaginex Ears for $25 (available in three finishes).
