    31 Fun Things To Buy Yourself So Every Day Can Feel Like Your Birthday

    Blow out those candles and make that wish(list) a reality...😌.

    1. A rainbow-striped crochet dress for anyone who could use a delicious dash of color in their new spring rotation. This has joy *and* style quite literally stitched into its core, so, if I were you, I'd snap this up to be in attendance at all warm-weather activities.

    Promising review: "This design is a bright and colorful sweater dress that is  so fun to wear. I've received many unexpected compliments on this 'happy' dress." —Alice Dragovich

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and three colors).

    2. A Giddy Up vase that you'll have a hard time not yelling "yee-haw!" at every time you catch a glimpse of your new cheery flower arrangement. Simply put, this little boot will ~kick up~ the fun felt in any room it's placed in.

    Promising review: "So cute! Love that it can be a decorative piece on its own you don't even need flowers." —Amanda C.

    Get it from Amazon or Ban.do for $26.95.

    3. A unique claw clip worth the investment since it not only holds up thick locks, but is also designed to lay flat in your hair — instead of protruding out. Translation: You can lie down on this sans any pain. Hello, new favorite way to keep my hair up during yoga! Resting in shavasana never seemed so appealing...

    Promising review: "One of my best claws for my long curly hair. I own six of them in different colors. It's great that it lies flat so I don't bump so much into things, like other claws do: car seat, pillow when sleeping, my partner's arm while dancing. They give a very stable and lasting impression. The colors, as well as the shape, are gorgeous. Will probably come back for even more colors." —Free People Customer

    Get it from Free People for $28 (available in five colors).

    4. A copy of the book Burn After Writing if you could really use a break from the glaring blue light of your devices. This guided journal will give you the perfect opportunity to lessen your screen time by taking you through a range of thought-provoking questions that'll help you learn and explore your deep inner feelings. Get ready to get to know yourself again!

    Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try different things. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

    Get it from Amazon for $7.32+ (available in two styles). 

    5. A scented candle in the shape of a totally aww-worthy hug, and probably the best gift you can give to yourself on a gloomy day. But good luck attempting to strike a match to this, because this hunk of wax is almost too cute to light.

    Promising review: "So adorable, great size! Fragrance is beautiful and very strong. I really like how strong the fragrance is, personally, because I can enjoy the candle without burning and ruining it if I decide to keep it for decor. Really great candle! Excellent quality!" —Jennifer Hoffmann

    Get it from CaiCai Handmade on Etsy for $22.50+ (available in a variety of colors and scents).

    6. A Lego flower bouquet, because you *can* buy yourself flowers — and ones that will actually stay alive. So long to wilting petals! Hello, futuristic-looking arrangement that takes an hour of fun to put together *and* looks absurdly realistic.

    Promising review: "The bouquet looked absolutely stunning. The attention to detail was impressive, and the colors of the flowers were vibrant and eye-catching. The bouquet is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a lot of fun to put together. My son was able to complete it within an hour, which was fantastic. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the entire experience enjoyable for him." —1teaspoon

    Get it from Amazon for $50.

    7. An initial ring conveniently designed with an adjustable opening that'll make it super easy to adapt to whatever finger you want to wear it on. A perfect gift from you to you? This.

    Get it from Amazon for $12.31+ (available in 26 letters and 10 colors and styles). 

    8. A gorgeous LED pearl shell light that'll feel like finding a lil' pot of treasure at the bottom of the dang ocean. This irredescent piece will really set the mood in any space you pop it in — plus, it can be used as a catchall for your jewels!

    the same shell in pink color with glowing led

    Promising review: "The picture doesn't do justice to the iridescent paint. I ordered the pink lamp, and it glimmers with hues of purple and green. Very pretty and mermaid-esque. I was worried about the size because of other reviews, but the size is perfect and matches the product description. Any bigger would be too gaudy for a dresser or nightstand, in my opinion. It gives off as much light as your standard hallway nightlight, so maybe too dim for kids who are scared of the dark, but perfect for teens or adults who can't fall asleep with bright lights left on. I love that it's cordless so I can place it anywhere for decoration, though I haven't tested the battery longevity yet. My lamp arrived packaged in styrofoam and had zero damage. I'm very pleased. It reminds me of Urban Outfitters' aesthetic and is perfect for a modern cabana decor theme." —Natalia C.

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in pink or white). 

    9. An Elizavecca Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask reviewers note is the "most fun they've had" getting their skin clean. This will make your face glow in minutes since it detoxifies skin, removes blackheads, and exfoliate pores with an absurdly fun foamy experience.

    Promising review: "I love this stuff! I received some for a gift and then purchased it for my daughter from Amazon. It feels like a clay mask going on, and then starts bubbling and turns to a thinner substance when it's done. I feel like it is very gentle on my face. My skin feels amazing after I wash it off. It feels like I used moisturizer, even though I did not." —L. Shea

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

    10. A cult-favorite ~secret~ popcorn salt that'll make your Netflix night treat even more desirable. Thought you could only get great-tasting movie theater popcorn at the actual theater? Think again. Sprinkle this baby over your favorite savory snack and get ready to devour alllll the salty, buttery goodness before you've even picked a flick.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says: "Our family recently unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm."

    Promising review: "I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item. My at-home popcorn is now my favorite thing to make and I don't need to go the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." —S Martinez

    Get it from Amazon for $9.60.

    11. A two-piece lace lingerie set with a top that's uniquely designed with cap sleeves. This comes with some stunning high-waisted scalloped bottoms that hit riiiiight at that sweet spot to essentially look like they were tailor-made for your ~birthday suit~.

    Promising review: "The only thing I can say about this piece other than how soft and comfy it is: woooowza. The sizing is also really accurate, and I know how hard that is to find in plus sizes. I would absolutely recommend this piece, and I might be getting it in all the colors. 🥰" —Kayla L

    Get it from Amazon for $18.88 (available in women's sizes L–5X and 12 colors).

    Here's a similar set in sizes 4–18 also from Amazon for $19.99.

    12. A super nifty self-stirring mug to help give your under-caffeinated self a bit of a hand in the morning. This thing — that honestly looks like it was invented by a wizard — will whip up your hot coffee, cocoa, and even blend together other cold mixed drinks like lemonade.

    Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing." —Lina 

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in five colors). 

    13. A disco ball planter that, once elevated with its included macrame rope, will transform your space into a golden hour oasis. Not only is it an adorable accessory for your plant child, but the way it diffuses the seasonal sun will certainly bring the party into your abode.

I appreciate the extra touches, like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it — it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope. Every day my whole living room becomes a party :) Cannot recommend enough." —Phil

    Get it from Amazon for $29.97.

    14. An adorable rechargeable night-light available in a few shriek-worthy designs to make your nighttime routine a little more ~toasty~. And you can plug it in beside your bed, since those unbelievably sweet lil' legs can also be used to hold your phone.

    Promising review: "Cutest little light I didn’t know I needed! Timer function is perfect for use as a night-light or as an indicator that it’s time for bed. Brightness is perfect, especially since you can choose to keep front, back, or both lights on. Battery life is fantastic, I’ve only charged it once since getting it and it has been used every night. Would definitely recommend." —Tiff164

    Get it from Amazon for $14.43+ (available in four styles). 

    15. A buttery-soft JW Pei pouch bag you'll want to swing and parade around as soon as you take it out of its box. This comes in an abundance of colors sure to make each and every day and night 'fit 10x more picture-worthy.

    Get it from Urban Outfitters for $69. 

    17. A pool floatie egg poacher I almost didn't believe was a real thing...until now. Making poached eggs in this is ~no yolk~ — and it's never been easier *or* more fun, since you just simply crack the egg, pop it in the float, and boom! Delightfully breezy breakfast every time.

    Promising reviews: "Works just as I expected. I like it! When it starts to sink, keep an eye out for that. It means it's ready. Mine always come out good." —Eric

    "Where has this been all my life! I’m in love! I have long, fine hair that doesn’t hold curls very well. It tends to be very straight, and I always have it back in a pony or up in a messy bun because it has no volume. This wave iron gives it tons of body and volume. It’s like magic!" —Tonya Fleming

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in two colors).

    19. A set of rainbow wineglasses I'm gonna need you to add to your at-home bar decor, like, immediately. For anyone who could use a dose of ~aesthetics~ in their kitchen cupboard, these right here look like they're straight out of a dang fairytale.

    Promising review: "I love this device. I bought it to help feel relief when I have a headache. Although it doesn’t make my headaches go away, it does help feel some relief. It’s so relaxing. I use it before bed even if I dont have a headache. The music that it comes with is relaxing, like the music you hear while getting a massage. But it’s Bluetooth so you can play your own music. Love that it has different setting as far as pressure, massage modes and heat. Love this product." —Cameron Colebrook

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three colors). 

    26. A super neat Dali-inspired melting clock if you're looking to gift your space with something that's functional but also totally eye-catching and artistic. Finding a piece that matches that criteria...it almost feels ~surreal~ right? (Sorry, had to.)

    This requires an AA battery.

    Promising review: "This is an awesome clock for anyone who loves Dali and surrealist art. It is a great value for the money considering it is super cool and seems to be good quality. The whole clock is encased in a distorted plastic bubble which is very cool. The metallic part is also plastic which is fine. It ticks a bit loudly, but I personally like that, I'm just glad such a cool clock is also fully functional." —Zach

    Get it from Amazon for $15.32.

    27. A divinely versatile tropical-themed one-piece you might wanna consider adding to cart, even if it's not your birthday month. Wear it poolside or pair it with some flowy bottoms, and you've transformed this glamorous cut-out piece into a bodysuit. Wardrobe rut = solved.

    29. A striking polyresin jewelry stand you'd probably only think you could find in one of those kitschy boutique-type stores, but surprise! This gem can be yours for under 10 bucks. Don't be misled by the price, though — this is super sturdy and can fit rings and bracelets of all sizes.

    Promising review: "I love this product so much, I was actually a little surprised at how amazing the quality was when it arrived! The fingers are slightly different sizes so you can store different sizes of rings, and they're spaced perfectly so I could fit all of my bulkier rings as well. The product is a hard plastic type of a material, and doesn't feel like it could break easily. It's also nice and sturdy so you don't have to worry about your rings flying everywhere if you accidentally bump it. Definitely gonna buy more soon to fit my other rings. 💕 I highly recommend purchasing!!" —Kitty

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight styles).

    30. An insulated tumbler that actually keeps drinks cold for HOURS. You'll probably want it in every marble and ombrÊ design, because, I don't know about you, but staying hydrated on the reg' never looked so dang stylish.

    Psst! This keep cold drinks cool and hot drinks toasty for hours. And it comes with two reusable straws and flip top lids!

    Promising reviews: "Another 'TikTok made me do it' purchase. I love this tumbler. This is the most gorgeous simple tumbler you could get. It comes with two different lids, one for straws, and one for sipping. It also comes with two plastic straws but you can use stainless-steel ones instead if desired. The cup keeps your drinks cold or hot and is fairly durable. Although the straw lid is not 'spill proof' it is fairly resistant. My 2-year-old loves to carry it around and use the straw, it usually doesn't leak if it's knocked over! Overall the wait for this particular color is well worth it and I plan to buy more!" —Sinaxis

    "LOVE!!! This is exactly what we wanted — a cup that truly keeps cold drinks cold, with ice. It lasts 24 hours+. We have tried, at friends recommendations, Tervis, Yeti, and generic store brands and they — even Yeti!!! —were fails compared to this Simple Modern. The description states it has a copper lining. The copper must be the extra-special insulation that the others lack. Everything about it is outstanding: the color, the size, fit, feel, no spills or troubles, and ICE cold retention (most important feature). We haven't tried it on hot but since it's so trustworthy in cold, we're certain it keeps hot HOT, too." —Doreen Bowler

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and dozens of colors).

    31. An indoor ball pit, a truly extra (but necessary) purchase for you *and* your inner child — or, y'know, your actual child. Every day will feel like a party with this velvet, pearl-filled pit — and, honestly, may make you never want to leave your house. Sorry, we don't make the rules!

    My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Mal Mower owns this and raves: "Obviously this precious ball pit is intended for actual HUMAN children, but my millennial pet parent heart couldn't help but get this for my house! I hide my cats' favorite treats in the bottom and they will dig around for ages trying to find them all. It's not designed to withstand pet nails, but it's held up really well. I can't rave about it enough!"
