1. A tennis bracelet that could pass for real-deal diamonds — *swoon*. This beauty will look so stunning on its own or stacked with other bracelets, and you don't have to worry as much about losing it as you would a splurgier version!
I just got this beauty in my Christmas stocking and I am BLOWN away. It looks so, so classy, shiny, and REAL!!!! I am someone who wears everything from expensive jewelry to the cheapest of costume stuff, and I'm treasuring this like I do my designer pieces. Like all tennis bracelets, the clasp is a bit pesky at first, but after just a few minutes of practice you should definitely be able to get it on and off by yourself, and it it feels secure. 100/10 recommend as a gift for yourself or anyone you love!!!!
Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two styles, three colors, and three sizes).
2. Lillie's of Charleston mustard barbecue sauce, which you can also use as a dip, dressing, or marinade. And that's a good thing, since this sweet and tangy concoction is so darn delish, you won't want to eat anything that isn't slathered in it.😋
Lillie's of Charleston is a Black- and family-owned small business based in South Carolina. Their sauces and seasonings are inspired by the family's Sunday dinners at Aunt Lillie's house.
Promising review: "I grew up in Charleston, SC and this is by far the most authentic South Carolina Mustard BBQ I’ve been able to find. I highly recommend. A true taste of home delivered to my door in Phoenix!" —Jenna Bowen
Get it from Amazon for $11.62 (available in hot or mild).
3. Nyx Liquid Eyeliner if you're interested in a long-lasting, cruelty-free pick that comes in shades from classic black to OMG-worthy lavender. You may never buy another brand of eyeliner again once you treat your lids to this.
Check it out on TikTok.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis loves this and writes: "I'm wearing the blue liner there on the left, and the reviews are 100% right. This liner LASTS. I love to throw it on top of my usual black liner when I want an extra pop on a night out or am just feeling a little adventurous. The liner's super thin tip glides nicely and makes it easy to be precise, too!"
Promising review: "Guys, I have hella hooded eyes, and any time I tried those expensive Sephora or Ulta eyeliners, they would smudge or fade INSTANTLY. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! The color pops, it's easy to use, and it NEVER SMUDGES, NEVER FLAKES, DOES NOT MOVE IN WATER!!! I fell asleep with it on, and it looked like I had just applied it when I woke up. Best eyeliner out there, take it from a girl who has tried ALL of those expensive eyeliners (Stila, Urban Decay, YOU NAME IT). I will never switch to anything else." —Jakjak
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 14 shades, including mattes and metallics).
4. A rechargeable, clip-on amber book light that emits a minimal amount of blue light, so the only thing keeping you up will be your novel's tantalizing plot. The brightness and position are adjustable, so you can get the perfect setup that'll allow you to keep flipping through that page-turner without keeping your partner awake.
Check it out on TikTok!
Promising review: "This was the best gift from my husband! Love reading in bed without having to use lamp light. Three settings of brightness are perfect, it's lightweight, and best of all holds a charge literally forever! I took it on a long airplane trip and was able to read without the annoying overhead light (especially when others are trying to sleep). Highly recommend!" —Rick Angelo
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four styles).
5. Exfoliating foot peel booties you just wear for an hour, then await dramatic — and if you look at the pics below you'll see I do mean dramatic — peeling results over the next week or two. And after that? You'll be left with *seriously* soft feet.
Promising review: "I've worked retail for almost 30 years and it takes a toll on your feet. I recently had a deep crack develop in my heel and it hurt badly. After weeks of pampering my feet, the crack healed. I really needed a pedicure but I was afraid of the salon using the cheese grater thing on my freshly mended heel. I opted for this instead to hopefully shed some of the hardened skin first. IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE. After one application, my feet are beautiful and smooth! It feels so nice to get rid of all of that old, hard skin. Seriously, just buy this. It's amazing and so easy. Plus, you get two applications. I'm saving the second one and will do that one in a couple of months." —Beth
Get two pairs from Amazon for $14.25+ (available in four scents).
6. A so-cute-I'm-not-sure-how-it's-even-allowed lemon bear Squishmallow — if you vowed not to buy any more stuffed animals this year, sorry, but that resolution is already out the window. Look at that FACE — you just gotta give this sweet and sour friend a ~squeeze~.
Promising review: "This was made with the same great quality as they used to be! It is stuffed perfectly and has no sewing flaws. One of my favorites!" —SquishStar
Get it from BoxLunch for $19.90.
7. A daily planning pad of 50 tear-off sheets you can use to map out your day. It's got space for what you're grateful for, priorities you must do today, a to-do list, appointments, achievements, meal planning, logging exercise, and notes and doodles, plus a water intake tracker and a blank clock to fill in if you do better with images than words. They truly thought of everything, and this pretty pad will help you feel so accomplished in 2024!
It's made by a family-owned, Wisconsin-based small stationery biz.
Promising review: "These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." —Shannon Hoglund
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in nine styles).
8. A lingerie set that's hot hot hot without all the confusing and uncomfy fastenings and bells and whistles so many other sets have. This is simply a — comfy!!! — cap sleeve lace bralette and high-waisted panties, so it's wearable and versatile while still being absolutely swoon-worthy.
Promising reviews: "I am in love with this piece! It's soooo comfortable but SOOO sexy. The color looked sooo amazing on my skin and my partner couldn't keep their hands off of me. I felt so happy when I put it on, it was perfectly my size!" —Jacob/Atzula
"This set is so unique. I absolutely love it. I am roughly size 12. I got this in an XL, could have likely gone with the L though as there's lots of stretch. It looks great though. It's really comfortable and beautiful. It looks so classy. With the right bra, you could wear the cropped top on its own for a night out (paired with jeans and heels or a black pencil skirt would be so cute)." —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $19.88 (available in women's sizes L–5XL and 11 colors).
9. A tiny and sweet resin animal with real dried flowers embedded inside. You can choose from a bear, pig, cat, or penguin (or just go ahead and order all four). Say hello to your new desk buddy!
This Seattle-based small biz makes all kinds of cute lil' treats.
Promising review: "I got all four of the little animals and the flowers inside of them are all beautiful." —Tasha
Get it from Mochi Berry Art on Etsy for $8.50 (available in four animals).
10. Wonderfully whimsical balloon dog stud earrings to add a ~pop~ of fun to your everyday look. BRB, buying these to recreate the rush of joy I got upon receiving a balloon animal as a kid.
You can also get a matching necklace here!
Promising review: "Y’allllll!!! These are the flipping cutest!!! And they came in such nice packaging as well! Not just a cheap plastic bag, but a little sealed box. Very worth the purchase. 😍" —Laura Zimmerman
Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
11. A ridiculously cute and satisfying golden Mini Brands surprise ball, which comes complete with five metallic versions of common grocery items to unwrap. (Or you might even get a buildable lil' shopping cart or basket!) I can't explain why tiny cereal boxes and spice jars are so cute, they just are — and these are a much better bang for your buck than most surprise boxes!
Whenever I have opted to treat myself to a surprise box, I've always felt a bit disappointed — I didn't get the collectible I wanted, or the quality of the item was super meh, or the two seconds of fun opening was not worth the price tag, or all the above. Not so with these! My boyfriend surprised me with one after I admired the Mini Brands foods he had on his shelf, and it totally made my day! Each toy is packaged really securely in its own compartment of the sphere, so it's a longer and more satisfying opening experience (the "unboxing" video I made to send to my BF was two minutes long!) and you get a number of goodies in the form of shiny, adorable, perfectly proportioned versions of things you see at the store! It also took several minutes to put the little cart that came in mine together, so that's more entertainment (though I don't think all of them have the cart) — all for less than what a lot of character-themed surprise boxes cost. And now the goodies look soooo cute on my shelf. I'm a knickknacks girlie who was obsessed with toy food as a kid (and may still be today...) so these were perfect for me, and they're also a super thoughtful "just because" prezzie to give to a friend or S.O.!
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
12. A stunningly gorgeous glass candy jar guaranteed to look fabulous even without any sweets in it (but bonus points for green Jolly Ranchers). It could pass for a family heirloom — no one will suspect you picked up this decor upgrade for under 20 bucks.
Promising review: "This is a super-cute candy dish. I added this to my bar and filled it with lollipops! It's an adorable dish that makes me smile anytime I lay eyes on it. I went back to purchase a smaller one as a gift. I'm very very happy with this cute and playful purchase. <3" —Tlikey
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 10 colors).
13. Fun and tropical flower hair claw clips you'll be using to complete every — and I do mean every — look this year, no matter the weather outside. From dresses to swimwear to your daily sweater and jeans combo, these are such a cute and trendy upgrade.
14. A Swift-tastic holographic Eras tour sticker customized with your show city and date to ~capture, remember~ the greatest day of your year (or life?). Long live all the magic we made, indeed.
This North Carolina-based small business has genuinely some of the best millennial-fave pop culture stickers I have EVER seen. I'm talking Taylor, Disney, and more.
Promising review: "Absolutely love the sticker! Had to buy one for next year's show, and the show I had to miss this past year!" —Breanne Duffy
Get it from Crafts By Tessa on Etsy for $4.75.
15. A set of adorable peel-and-stick adhesive hooks featuring feline friends who'll pop up when you hang something from them — aka the pawfect motivation for you to be a lil' more organized this year and a sweet decor update that doesn't require a hammer and nails.
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising review: "These are so cute and easy to install. My husband always forgets to put his keys away so I got these to try to condition him into hanging them up. Now he has a little friend say hello when he gets home." —leaaffy
Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick).
16. Adorbs mini strawberry candles (with a scent to match, ofc) for the cutest lil' tabletop accent you ever did ~seed~. Here's to achieving your dream aesthetic in 2024.
Check 'em out on TikTok!
Promising review; "These are just the cutest little candles and ever so summery! Their size, appearance, and scent are just like real strawberries. Perfect as little take-home favors or decorations for a backyard picnic!" —M. Milton
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors).
17. A whimsical smiley flower bathroom rug for a ~groovy~ 2024 upgrade to your current boring (and tbh kinda gross and beat-up) one.
Promising review: "I’m so in love with this bath mat! It absorbs water so it dries fast and its soft to stand on. I love this cute design! Cheery for my bathroom! Makes me smile!" —Drhonda fitzroy
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes).
18. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm, aka a luxe-feeling makeup remover made with vitamin E and brightening pearl barley that combine to make it a real treat for your skin. You'll actually *look forward* to taking your makeup off at night with this stuff that'll make you feel like you're being pampered.
Promising reviews: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit, it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes micellar water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1,000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick
"The BEST I’ve ever used! This product melts away my makeup like a dream!! I exclusively wear waterproof mascara and I was struggling to find a product that would take it off easily without burning my eyes or otherwise irritating them. I decided to try this one out and needless to say my eyes have never been happier! This balm doesn’t burn and the fact that it gets all my makeup off the first time makes my skin much less irritated and red. This balm is a 10/10 for me🫶🏻." —ellie white
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
19. The most precious mini bird-shaped lemon juicer and pourer to maximize the juice you can squeeze from a lemon wedge for your yummy salmon *and* maximize the cuteness of your tabletop spread.
Promising reviews: "This little utensil is adorable, and quite practical. When I saw it on TikTok I knew I had to have one. You simply put a slice of lemon in and pour out the juice. It looks so pretty sitting on the table and comes in very handy." —Dian Marchese
"Beautiful. They are definitely not for heavy use but they get the job done. They would look great with a tea set. They are very aesthetically pleasing." —Jael
Get it from Amazon for $4.98.
20. An E.l.f. glitter liquid eyeshadow that'll bring the party just as well as Stila Glitter and Glow, which happens to be *checks notes* quadruple the price. Everything is better with glitter, and everything is also better when you only have to pay $6.
I don't even wear eyeshadow and this glitzy blue is tempting me....
Promising review: "I love this glitter eyeshadow. I used to use Stila and this is so much more affordable and easy to spread without spotting. Definitely recommend getting all the shades, it is worth it for a pop of shimmer." —beautyandbeast
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in nine shades).
21. A knotted faux-leather headband to have you channeling Blair-Waldorf-in-2024 energy and finishing all your 'fits off with an extra dose of chic.
Promising review: "Just got these so I can’t attest to durability, however first reaction was how soft and comfortable they were! Seriously, I was dreading buying any headband and feeling the impending headache from how it sits behind the ears. Not the case with these; a first for me. I have very fine/thin hair, and I’m excited to dress it up with these. They look to be very well-made and out of good materials. So happy with this purchase. Get them!" —Heidi Raetz Tedhams
Get it from Amazon for $17.87+ (available in 25 colors).
22. A delightful door-draft stopper that proves form and function can happily coexist. This weighted plush pal will block cold outside air in the winter and hot air in the summer, plus reduce bugs and noise that might wanna creep into your space.
One reviewer notes you can also use the handles to hang it from the doorknob and block drafts on the side of the door!
Promising review: "I got this just in time, with below-zero temps and 40 mph winds. Very effective to reduce cold air getting in! Easy to use and thick enough to cover the bottom of the door." —Gail Swenson
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight styles and five lengths).
23. A 16-piece travel toiletry container set because this year you're ready to 1) not have your cosmetic bag be chaos and 2) stop relying on crappy hotel shampoo and lotion and instead bring a bit of all your faves from home. Plus, it's CUTE!
You'll get four bottles, two jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers for transferring creams, a funnel for transferring liquids, a cleaning brush, a page of labels, and a clear bag to hold 'em all.
Promising review: "This is essential for flying! I fly pretty often throughout the year and after having numerous leakage issues with regular plastic travel containers, decided to go the silicone route and am so glad I did. I love that this set includes different sizes of bottles and tools to help fill/empty them so reusing them is a breeze and there is no wasted product. The variety of colors is great so I can easily tell apart my toiletries, even without the included labels! Love this set and highly recommend it!" —Hennie S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four color combinations).
24. Bestselling Globbles fidget toys that stretch, squish, and stick to the wall (!!!) without leaving messy residue. You may wanna buy a set for every room in the house.
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising review: "Bought a six pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could — the inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69.
25. A dimmable duck light who is quite simply a very big 2024 mood. He is made of squishy silicone, seems 100% DONE with doing anything, has a 30-minute auto-shutoff timer feature and three brightness settings, and, yes, also features a drawn-on butthole. It's the little things.
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED...but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two other very cute designs).
26. A tasteful temporary tattoo because you really envied the ones your little cousins got in their last birthday party goody bag. These are made for grown-ups and allow you to flirt with the look of real ink but require zero real commitment — or needles.
They're from a Netherlands-based small biz specializing in temporary tattoos that last from two days to a week.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord writes: "I am *obsessed* with these temporary tattoos — I waited for ages to get them, and I wish I'd done it much sooner, because I've had such a blast mix and matching them every week this summer! They transfer beautifully with warm water and look like legitimate tattoos (my neighbor truly thought I'd gotten some great ink), and are so easy and gentle to remove with a light scrub in the shower."
Get them from Tattoorary on Etsy: the vintage floral tattoo for $7.99, and the little birds tattoo for $2.99.
27. A super sweet "travel fund" bank if your resolutions for 2024 involve jetsetting and/or being smarter with money. This has five cute interchangeable backgrounds to make the least fun part of a trip — saving cash for it — a bit more fun. Even if you just use it for loose change, you'll start daydreaming of a tropical getaway every time you deposit a few pennies.
Promising reviews: "It’s really cute to save up for vacations, etc. It also comes with five backgrounds so you can change it whenever. Great buy.✨" —Chantaye
"I gave this to my daughter for her Disneyland fund. It is really cute and has different paper backgrounds for the back of the bank." —Cathy
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five styles).
28. The cutest cherry toilet brush because it turns out, toilet brushes don't have to be just an unsightly necessity. ~Pit~ure this: a bathroom with all the essentials, but that actually feels whimsical — that's about to be your reality.
Check out a review of this cutie on TikTok!
Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly!! Fits nicely into my bathroom decor. It was delivered in perfect condition and I've used it three times now. If you're thinking about buying this...do it!" —Michelle Maroon
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
29. A pair of faux leather pillowcases to luxe up the look of your couch that you've had so long, you binged New Girl for the FIRST time on it (those were the days...). We love a new year decor refresh that only *looks* expensive.
Complete the look with some pillow inserts!
Promising review: "These pillow covers are exactly what I was looking for! I love them so much that I bought a second set for my living room couch. I have purchased other faux leather pillowcases before that I returned because they looked cheap but this one is so great, especially for the price!" —KElizabethS
Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in two styles and six shapes and sizes).
30. A cute Shower Cat tool that adheres to your shower wall and that you need if your roommate or S.O. has ever complained about how much hair you shed in the shower, but you're not sure how to stop leaving a mess of strands in your wake. Grab any loose hair and swipe left through the tool to trap it, then just swipe right to clean out. As easy as using a dating app, but actually less cringe-inducing???
It's made by a small business!
Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
31. A color-changing, remote-control moon lamp you can pop on the included stand or just hold in your hands like you control the galaxy, mwahahaha. The vibes with this rechargeable baby are truly ~stellar~.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "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."
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in seven sizes).
