1. The Foreo Luna Mini 2 so you can have the best skin ever in 2024. It has soft silicone bristles that'll get all up in your pores and get rid of all that oil and dead skin. You can even control how intense the vibrations are so you can make your skincare time customized to you.
Promising review: "This product is well worth the money!! It has offered me the deepest facial cleansing I have ever experienced. My face is always much smoother and tighter after using it. I have been using it in the morning, once a day, for the past month and my pores are smaller than ever before. Additionally, it has reduced the redness of my skin tremendously. Anytime I have a breakout after about two washes with this cleanser the blemishes are completely gone. However, I must note that since using it I no longer have serious breakouts!! I am so glad I found this product. I recommend it to all my friends and family trying to improve their skincare routines." —Amazon Customer

2. A pair of Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds that are bound to become your new favorite workout buddy because the hook design will *actually* keep them in your ears as you try to crush your mile run. You'll be able to use them for up to nine hours on ONE SINGLE CHARGE, ~anddd~ they're sweat resistant — talk about an overachiever.
Here's a part of BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma McAnaw's review for these splurge-worthy bbs: "These Beats headphones have been a real game-changer for me. The sound quality is SO MUCH better than my cheap headphones, which has actually really improved my experience while working out. I find it easier to stay motivated now that my music is *crystal clear* (and I can't hear myself wheezing). They can hold a charge for a pretty long time, as long as you always store them in their charging case. I usually use them for a full work day without needing to re-charge them. Plus, they're really comfy in my ears and never fall out, thanks to their clever hook design (if you have comfort issues with Apple headphones, these will probably feel better)!"
Check out the full review of these headphones in "10 Things To Try in March."
Get them from Amazon for $179.95 (available in two colors and styles).
3. Or noise-canceling Bose headphones you can use for working out or tuning out your roommate while you're trying to listen to your 4 o'clock meeting. Bonus: they're able to pair with Alexa!
Promising review: "Worth the money. I've wanted these Bose headphones for years but was hesitant to spend the money on them. These are my favorite headphones. They are comfortable, the battery lasts forever, and the noise-canceling feature is amazing. When I turn on the noise-canceling I can't hear anything around me. It completely blocks all the noise in my house. That doesn't make my housemates happy because I can't hear them even when they yell for me, but I love it. These headphones make life a little more relaxing especially during this time when everyone is home all the time. The sound quality is amazing too. I use these to listen to music and watch movies and they work great for both. Highly recommend." —Chelse
Get them from Amazon for $187.92+ (available in two colors).
4. A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite so you can start off 2024 the right way, with lots of books. It has an anti-glare display so it'll feel less like you're reading from a screen and more like you're diving into a novel with actual paper pages. Perfect for some poolside reading and if someone is splashing your way, you won't have to worry about it ruining your new fave little gadget.
Promising review: "I love the Kindle e-readers. Previously, I had the 7th generation that I bought back in 2013. You just can't beat the backlight with the Kindle e-readers; they are the best on the market in my opinion. I bought this mainly for the waterproof feature. It also has more storage space and some of the features (Goodreads, for example) have been updated. Another huge plus is having audiobooks on this kindle (though you do need a Bluetooth headphone set). I listen to a TON of audiobooks, so this is super useful for me. The battery lasts much longer than my old Paperwhite and it is notably lighter than my old one. For me, this was well worth the money because of the type of reader I am. The only minor gripe I would have is that sometimes I accidentally touch the screen and it goes on to the next page before I am done reading (an issue I had with the previous Kindle Paperwhite too), but it's a minor more logistical issue." —Phoebe
Check out our review of the Kindle Paperwhite here.
Get it from Amazon for $124.99 (available in four styles).
5. A mixed set of six stunning stemmed wineglasses because bright-colored glasses speak to your soul waaay more than your boring, clear ones. If you've got a maximalist vibe, this'll compliment your aesthetic perfectly.
Estelle Colored Glass is a Black woman-owned small business that creates vintage-inspired hand-blown pieces in beautiful jewel tones.
Get a mixed set of six from Estelle Colored Glass for $185 and check out their other glassware here.
6. A silk pillowcase to help prevent frizzy, matted bedhead — you know the kind, like when Anna woke up in Frozen. The suuuuper soft fabric is WAY less coarse and scratchy on sensitive skin so it won't dry it out and suck out all that good moisture.
Promising review: "Worth the money my curly girls! I have bought so many silk pillowcases that were either too slippery or not as silky as they claimed to be. This one lives up to the hype! No slip and protects my coarse, curly hair. By the time you waste your money on trying to find the perfect silk pillowcase, you could just buy this one. Sometimes more expensive is worth it. Side note. I washed mine on delicate cycle as instructed and then let it air dry." —karen
Get it from Amazon for $75.11+ (available in two sizes and 18 colors).
7. A temperature-controlled smart mug that'll keep your coffee (or tea) warm for hours and can be paired with the Ember app to set the temperature. It can also be used without the app and will keep your drink at your preferred temperature for up to 80 minutes on a full charge or all day on its charging coaster. No more lukewarm hot cocoa, baby!
Hand wash only! This awesome mug also remembers your last-used temperature!
Promising review: "I’m so obsessed with this mug. I’m a classic 'Oh, wait, where’s my tea/coffee?!' kind of mom and this cup makes me feel less annoyed by that quality of mine! It keeps my drink hot for so much longer than necessary and I can customize it in the app. A friend recommended this to me and the price had me feeling a little guilty (I mean come on I could just microwave my drink right?) but after the fourth time I lost my cup and it was still hot when I found it, I stopped feeling guilty. I can read and drink my tea and not rush. Seriously my favorite mug. —Kassie
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).
8. A waffle maker so you can have diner-quality breakfast right at home, whenever you'd like. If you love a extra thicccccck Belgian waffle, then this thing is probz calling your name like the Unknown was calling Elsa.
Promising review: "I've always wanted a Belgian waffle maker but thought it would be one of those gadgets that I buy and never use. We made waffles for the first time last night for dinner. BEST WAFFLES I'VE EVER HAD!!! It's SO easy to use. I didn't oil it before the first use, I just kind of wiped it out with a paper towel and went to town with it. I also highly recommend buying the Carbons Golden malted waffle mix, which is super easy to use and tastes delicious! You should know, a full cup of batter makes the perfect waffle. I can't wait to make savory waffles with this thing!" —The Inspired Designer
Get it from Amazon for $59.99
9. A mini projector to make your movie bingeing even better. Outdoor movie parties under the stars like one of those cool drive-in movies just became a thing in your backyard. And you thought you never left your house before, just wait until you basically turn your home into a movie theater. All you'll need to survive this winter is this and some snacks.
Promising review: "It was super simple to set up and made for a very fun movie night. Video output is very clear and I was able to project it onto a white wall. Playback is smooth and the projection size that this little machine can put out is amazing — large-screen movie watching in such a small size! Due to its size, it is very portable. I'm looking forward to doing some backyard movie nights once summer comes around again. I was easily able to connect this to my laptop and even my Fire TV Stick, so lots of show options were available to me. Overall very satisfied with this purchase." —Nancy
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
10. A Spa candle from Hotel Lobby Candle with notes of eucalyptus, water mint, sage, jasmine, and amber for a ~delightfully relaxing~ experience. This stuff channels some serious 5-star hotel spa vibes and honestly, that sounds like the greatest way to start 2024.
11. Or a candle from Harlem Candle Company that screams "let's be cozy" with a bit of luxury. And when the candle is finished burning, it can be used as a gorg cocktail glass. Two gifts to yourself in one.
This is a Black woman-owned small biz founded in 2014 by Teri Johnson. Their mission is to continue to capture the beauty and essence of Harlem. Their candles are made from a soy wax blend and infused with uniquely beautiful fragrance oils.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping home editor Sally Elshorafa says about her candles from Harlem Candle Company: "The soy vegetable wax blend candles are made with one-of-a-kind fragrance oils. I recently burned through a tin of the Holiday scent and it lasted SO much longer than other candle tins of that size. I'm currently on the Speakeasy candle that smells incredibly luxurious and rich. If I'm awake and in my apartment, a candle is lit. But I think I'll ration the Speakeasy beaut to keep it around even longer."
Get the 22-karat gold Nightclub Map of Harlem Savory Luxury Candle from Harlem Candle Company for $65 or from Macy's for $44.99, their Speakeasy candle for $48, their Holiday scent for $17, and check out more scents.
12. A milk frother so you can always have your favorite coffee-shop-quality drink without having to pay the price or leave home. If you can't get enough of cappuccinos with foamy, yummy creamer on top, you'll love having this handy. Especially when 1 p.m. hits and you debate if you should go grab another latte. The answer is yes and all you gotta do is walk over to the kitchen.
It comes with both heating and frothing whisks.
Promising review: "I love a latte or cappuccino in the morning but got tired of heating milk in the microwave (and watching it overflow if I didn't remove it in time). This frother is easy to use, makes great froth with either hot or cold milk, and shuts off when complete. It can also heat milk without frothing and make hot chocolate milk with the ability to mix chocolate powder into the milk while heating. I like that the agitator for mixing is held on the bottom by a spindle and can easily be removed for cleaning, although I usually leave it in while cleaning. Much easier to use than a hand held mixer without the mess and splatter. Looks good on my counter. I would definitely recommend." —MaBa26
Get it from Amazon for $57.03+ (available in three styles).
13. A pair of bike shorts with, *drumroll please 🥁 *, POCKETS. I know, I know, sold — anything with pockets is an immediate ~add to cart~. They're made from a wicking, quick-dry material so you can say goodbye to sweat stains and hello to these lovely shorts with a supportive waistband and compression that'll keep them put as you exercise.
SuperFit Hero is a woman-owned small biz based in California that specializes in plus size activewear in sizes L–7XL.
Promising review: "I was recommended this brand from a fellow roller derby player and I love it! I was hesitant about the price, but these shorts are definitely worth it. They're super comfortable and the pockets fit all the crap I need to bring along for a trail skate. The 9-inch inseam is awesome and doesn't ride up during long skates. I love that I can focus on skating, not keeping my pants on. 10/10 would recommend." —Jackie
Get it from SuperFit Hero for $75 (available in sizes L–7XL and in 10 colors).
14. A remote-controlled foot warmer and massager because in 2024 we are treating ourselves to massages even if they're from home. You spent way too many long days on your feet this year and you deserve some much needed relaxation after surviving 'em. This bb just screams chill out.
Promising review: "I purchased the 3-in-1 massager for my girlfriend who suffers from plantar fasciitis and whose job requires her to be on her feet most of the day. She tells me it's the best gift she ever received! She uses it every day and loves it! She comes home from work and goes straight for the massager to relax while she finishes up her paperwork for the day." —PJ
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in six colors).
15. A 365 Blanket from Muslin Comfort that's just as cozy as a heavy comforter but without all the fluff if you sleep warm. And I know what you're thinking if you're always cold, *this isn't for me*, but WRONG-O! Though it is thin, it weighs eight pounds and will conform to your body and feel like a nice, warm hug. Never too cold or too hot, always just right, like Goldilocks!
The blanket comes with a 30-night, risk-free trial with free returns. Reviewers say that the blanket is truly oversized, and many recommend sizing down depending on your mattress size. Oh, and it's machine-washable and can be used in place of a top sheet and heavy comforter.
Muslin Comfort is a woman-owned small biz based in California that specializes in 100% muslin cotton bed and bath products. Shyla Smith — a mother of two boys, a full-time attorney, and the founder of Muslin Comfort — set about to create the perfect muslin blanket for adults after struggling to find one on the market.
Promising review: "This is so soft, beautiful, well-made and comfortable as a summer, warm weather blanket. I have a queen size bed and got the full size. It fits perfectly and is plenty big. It is very light and breathable, but has a light blanket weight to it so you do not feel like you are missing anything. It has definitely helped with night sweats. Worth the investment!" —Lileen C.
Get it from Muslin Comfort for $199.99+ (available in four sizes and 12 colors).
16. A set of infused olive oils from Brightland that'll take your salads from "eh, okay" to "okay, I need to know who the heck made this flavor-packed dressing cuz I could kiss them." Lots of salad calls for lots of dressing, and you'll get four different irresistibly delicious ones when you order these.
Yes, they're way more expensive than grocery store ones but you'll seriously taste the difference. This set includes four flavors: chili, garlic, basil, and lemon.
Brightland is a WOC-owned small biz that sources olives and fruit from small, family-run farms in California to make their delicious dressings.
Ciera Velarde loves this set and here's why: "I got this set as a Christmas gift for my fiancé last year and I ended up using it just as much (if not more) than him! Right away, you can tell how much better these taste than your average grocery store olive oil. Whether you're using it on pasta, as part of salad dressing, or to cook veggies, the flavors are clean, robust, and enhance everything you cook it with. Also, thanks to the pretty designs on the bottles, they look super pretty just sitting on your kitchen countertop! I personally love the chili flavor for dipping some really good bread into as well as the lemon flavor for putting on top of pasta — it's such a bright, zippy flavor. I do want to point out that oil tends to drip down the sides of the bottles when you pour, so to avoid that, I recommend getting the spout ($10)."
Get the four-piece set from Brightland for $150.
17. A leather duffel bag because the more luggage you have, the more you're manifesting lots of travel for 2024. It has a super big main compartment and pockets on the side and front so you can store a week's worth of clothes in it. Grab this and then immediately book a flight.
Promising review: "So worth the money!! I have been searching for a nice leather duffel bag. I have found a few that I wanted to buy but couldn't bring myself to pay $300–$400 for one right now. I figured I'd check Amazon and came across this bag. I read all the great reviews and figured why not? I was skeptical though because the bag was under $100. Let me tell you every review is spot on. Such a nice bag. Big too. I'm in love with it. This company does a great job. Quality stitching, leather, zippers, etc. Don't hesitate; it's well worth the money!!!" —john
Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in four sizes).
18. Or a Dagne Dover duffel bag that you can use while traveling *or* it can double as your gym bag. Lots of room but still itty bitty enough to be slid under the seat in front of you on your next flight.
Here' what my BuzzFeed colleague Emma McAnaw has to say about this *ahhh-mazing* duffle bag: "My Dagne Dover duffel fits soooooo much more than it seems (especially when you fight to the death to fit everything like I do), and it's a super easy carry-on! I just put it under the seat so I don't have to fight people to get the overhead bin space. Also, I've gotten away with bringing it for free on airlines that try to charge for carry-ons because it looks so small."
Get it from Dagne Dover for $125+ (available in five sizes and six colors).
19. A trio of professional-quality knives since you enjoy spending time in the kitchen. Good knives are always a cooking necessity — you'll be cutting, slicing, and dicing with ease.
The set comes with the Almost 4” Knife, the Serrated 6” Knife, and the 8” Knife.
Material Kitchen is an Asian-owned small biz that sells high-quality kitchenware meant for home cooks.
Promising review: "This is our first set of 'adult' kitchen knives. We wanted to ditch the large block of knives and go with a cleaner look. The knives are so beautiful and the block is gorgeous. It's an investment that is well worth every penny." —Stephanie M.
Get the three-piece knife set from Material Kitchen for $170 (available in four handle colors and with personalization for an extra $30) and get the stand for $105 (available in two colors).
20. A very durable, water-resistant portable speaker from Marshall that may be little but packs some fiercely powerful sound and 15 hours of playtime from just one charge. You can take it with you everywhere and attach it to basically anything using the back-mounted strap.
This can also connect with other Marshall Willen speakers so you can play sound from more than one speaker at a time!
Ciera Velarde loves this little speaker: "I have this and am so, so impressed with how high-quality the sound is for such a small lil' package! I also love how sophisticated it looks, so I just leave it sitting on my bookshelf to act as a piece of decor! This would be the perfect speaker to take along to an outdoor BBQ or even a wintry cabin trip with your friends because it barely takes up any space and can last through the entirety of your perfectly curated playlist (and then some!)"
Get it from Marshall (available in two colors) or Amazon for $99.99.
21. A spa-esque towel warmer because hopping out of the shower and grabbing a nice, warm towel in the winter seriously sounds like heaven. Luxury is all we know and this just *screams* bougie spa vibes.
The towel warmer has four timer settings (15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes) and an auto-shutoff feature. It can fit two oversized towels, robes, throw blankets, or pillows.
Promising review: "Luxury, I never knew I needed this. This does an awesome job of keeping up to two bath sheet-sized towels warm. Several time settings. This is awesome to get out of the shower and have. I won’t go back to not having heated towels — it’s amazing!" —Anne Bowman
Get it from Amazon for $125+ (available in nine colors).
22. An ice cream maker that'll make you wanna whip up a tasty frozen treat literally every day. Plus, you can make up your own flavors. Like bananas? Throw 'em in. Oreos — *drools* add 'em to the recipe. Pecans? You know what to do. From froyo to ice cream to sorbet, oh, the ice treats you'll create.
This makes up to 1.5 quarts of ice cream or frozen yogurt in under 20 minutes!
Promising review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this ice cream maker. I never purchase store bought ice cream anymore. I make nondairy ice cream. My children, husband, and everyone who tastes it can't believe I made it." —Saida
Get it from Amazon for $55.95.
23. A fancy, smart touch light-up mirror so you can get glam with Hollywood star vibes. The only thing that could make this better is hiring a makeup artist, but hey, one step at a time. Grab this first then worry about the glam team next year.
Promising review: "The vanity light is most certainly worth the value for the money. The lights are nice and bright and also has a second setting. I've been looking around for a nice mirror and this one is beyond perfect. I'm so glad I purchased this as I struggle with nice lighting in my apartment where I do my make up and hair!" —Dee
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in four sizes and two colors).
24. Or a modern floor-length mirror to make your space look bigger, get a full view of you OOTD, andddd take pictures in, of course! Plus it'll serve (and I mean serrrrve) as a gorgeous piece of decor.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this mirror! I’ve been looking for a high-quality mirror for quite some time now and finally found the one! I chose the recessed one because it’s unique, and the recessed lip gives it a modern yet sleek design. Although I was a little hesitant to order a mirror online, afraid that it would be distorted or cracked, it arrived in perfect condition. I am in love with this mirror I haven’t been this excited about a new piece of furniture in years!! You really can’t beat the price. The mirror helped tie in together the look I was going for. If you’re looking for a new mirror to help brighten up your living space, this is the one for you! Theres a wall mount attached to the back or you can lean it up against the wall like I did. I love it, my friends love it, all around best mirror!" —Elle
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three sizes, in either recessed or slim lips, and in four finishes).
25. An ice maker that'll make you nine pieces of ice in seven minutes and 26 pounds per day. Whether you like small cubes or large, this machine will make 'em anddd it can automatically deep clean itself so you don't have to worry about it.
It will alert you if it needs water, if ice is ready, or if it needs cleaning.
Promising review: "We desperately needed a way to have more ice at our summer home, and this was the best purchase we’ve made to fix this! So easy to use and continually makes ice all day like we want it. We put the ice into the freezer as it continues to make it, so we never run out! So much better than constantly making trips to the gas station and spending money on bags of ice! So worth the purchase!" —Jackie
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in two colors).
26. A pillow-top mattress pad because a super pricey new mattress is out of the question but your back is craving a bit more comfort. If you wanna sleep on a cloud, this is the next best thing. It's also machine-washable so if it gets sweaty or dirty, you can clean it with ease.
Promising review: "Whoaaa this thing is amazing. I have a very expensive, firm mattress that I bought when I was younger. The mattress is still in good shape so I didn’t want to get rid of it. The firm thing just wasn’t working for me anymore. I had a foam mat but it still was too hard. So I got this, put this over the foam mat and it’s like a new mattress. I slept like a rock last night. Haven’t slept that well in a long time. I also like that it’s attached to the mattress pad, so it’s not sliding all over. It slept very cool, I’m assuming that’s because is cotton. Highly recommend if you’re looking to fix a mattress and not have to spend money on a new one." —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $54.39+ (available in sizes twin–California king and in four colors).
27. A set of five Kulfi Beauty highly pigmented eyeliners that won't smudge or run so you can try those trendy, bold, graphic liner looks you've been dying to experiment with. New year, new you, and that new you is wearing vibrant, colorful eye lewksss.

28. A cheese board, or shall I say the freakin' most PERFECT cheese board. It includes four serving bowls and four knives and a part of it swings out so that you can organize your meats and cheeses. You'll love showing off your charcuterie skills and showing off this beauty of a board.
Promising review: "I bought this as a housewarming gift for a friend. When it arrived at my house I liked it so much that I had to keep it for myself and get another for my friend. It’s the perfect size and the quality is really great. Does not look or feel cheap. Also, super easy to clean and the glass bowls I just put in the dishwasher. I highly recommend for yourself and as gifts!" —Alison Fresta
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
29. A nonstick ceramic Always Pan that def works harder than Kris Jenner. This baby does the work of 10 different pieces of traditional cookware.

Promising review: "My Always Pan is going to be my new favorite cooking ware. Super versatile and absolutely beautiful.

Makes you want to cook more delicious meals all day long!" —Celyn V.
Get it from Our Place for $105+ (originally $150; available in 11 colors).
30. An espresso machine because although you simply can't go a day without a delicious cup o' joe from your favorite coffee shop, your wallet is begging you to do so. Now you can be your own barista and turn beans into a yummy espresso in under one minute! You'll even be able to hand-texture micro foam milk and create latte art. Talk about service — you may even wanna leave yourself a tip.
Promising review: "This is the best investment I've ever made. I was a barista for two years, and after that time I know how espresso drinks should taste. Which is why I can tell you that when you make an espresso drink at home it is SO MUCH BETTER than the busy barista at a cafe, or a Starbucks or wherever you get your lattes. I purchased this machine as a graduation present to myself for getting through law school. Despite the steep price, this is SO worth it. Especially as someone who was spending $6 on a latte (dairy free, extra shot kinda gal), this thing is going to pay for itself in no time. Literally, I did the math. It's going to take me less than three months. This machine is EXTREMELY user-friendly. It takes a second to figure out how it all works, but it's all pretty intuitive. It also has some self-precaution alerts to clue you in if you're doing something wrong (When the water pan gets too high, it has a little sign that pops up and says, "empty me!"). I would definitely recommend following the cleaning instructions to the letter (I mean, you're putting a lot of money into this you might as well take care of it the best you can). It's also a very fast process. I can make an iced latte in under a minute from the instant grinding to me taking my first sip." —Raquel
Get it from Amazon for $685.90+ (available in two colors).
31. A clever hoodie with a built-in eye mask you'll be so thankful to have when the lights on the plane are too bright and you're just trying to rest on your 8-hour flight. Plus, planes are always so so cold! It's got a little kangaroo pocket with another secret pocket in it for any valuables you wanna keep close. This cozy, oversized, cotton-blend sweatshirt + some headphones = the comfiest flight you've ever been on.
Pond Los Angeles is an Asian woman-owned small biz that creates luxurious travel products to make your next flight the absolute coziest.
Promising review: "I fly a lot and am constantly trying to find a hoodie with a big hood to cover my eyes so I can catch up on some beauty sleep on flights. I saw this product on Instagram and knew it would be a game changer. I was able to use it recently for the first time on an early-morning flight, and let me tell you, it is EVERYTHING I was looking for and more. It’s comfy, cozy, oversized, and the eye covers make you feel like you’re in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane. My over ear headphones fit perfectly under it and I got the best sleep I’ve had on a plane — EVER! Like other reviews have said, it is big, so size down if you want something a little more snug. I have been wearing it every day at home and can’t wait to get the black and blush ones!" —Heather G.
Get it from Pond Los Angeles for $102.40 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and four colors).
32. The cult-fave programmable Instant Pot Duo that should be paid six figures because it does soooo many jobs. A pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, sauté pan, steamer, and rice cooker...what can't this thing do? They'll simply toss the ingredients in, hit the button, and this will handle the rest. Kinda like an adult Magic Mixie. Reviewers have made everything in this from pork ribs to New York-style cheesecake.
Promising review: "Ohhh man this thing is a game changer! My husband bought me the 8-quart as an early Christmas gift, and it's AMAZING! I never remember to take things out to defrost, so it's perfect for me. So far, I've made (in one pot) pork chili verde burritos, chicken and rice casserole, BBQ shredded chicken sandwiches, and last night, a frozen solid pot roast! No joke, frozen pot roast turned into falling apart, delicious goodness with potatoes and carrots in 90 minutes! It seriously took four mins to cook the potatoes and carrots. Frozen chicken from Costco cooks in 15 minutes. I've had almost no dishes to do all week long. It's awesome. All in all great buy, I'm giving away my crockpot. This makes food 10x better and faster. Best gift I've ever gotten." —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in two sizes).
33. An area rug because you've been dying to have one and up the decor in your home. It's after the holidays, you made it through the year, what the heck, treat yourself to some well-deserved elegance.
Promising review: "I don’t normally write product reviews but this one was too good to not! The rug exceeded my expectations. Not only was the price very affordable but the quality of it is beyond amazing. It’s soft and very lightweight for when you need to deep clean and hung it to dry outside. I had our elder dog pee on the corner of it, and I was able to treat it and take it outside to dry in the sun.

The Tiny Tassel is a Black woman-owned business based in Charleston, South Carolina.
And see why this brand has Ciera Velarde *raving*: "I was lucky enough to visit The Tiny Tassel store in Charleston earlier this year when I was on my bachelorette trip, and I instantly fell in love with the company! All of their items pop with color, and their signature tassel earrings are practically guaranteed to put a smile on your face. In fact, I actually don't have my ears pierced, but they offer many of their earrings in a clip-on style! I ended up buying two pairs (one white pair that goes with everything and then a bright pink pair for a fun burst of color) and I wear them all the time! And I always get compliments on them when I wear them!"
Get them from The Tiny Tassel for $34 and shop all of their handmade jewelry here.
