1. Colorful fine-tipped pens that have got the write stuff to make any office supply nerd's dreams come true.
They work for everything from color-coding to note-taking to journaling to coloring.
Promising review: "These really don’t bleed/show too badly through college-ruled or lined paper (or regular printer paper) and I LOVE them for schoolwork. They've made my life so much easier and prettier! They glide much more easily than regular pens. I also love that they seem to never dry out despite the fact that I’ve been using them for at least two weeks now and have left the most-used black marker open for several long periods already. I've come back to still find plenty of ink and no change in the writing ability. I think these are great quality pens and definitely worth the purchase." —NATTYLIGHT

2. Chic and shockingly affordable huggie hoop earrings you'll never want to leave your lobes. Luckily, since they go with *everything,* they'll basically never have to.
Promising review: "I love these earrings because they lock (but still come off without too much effort) so when I have to put on my face mask for work, I am not losing my earrings like I have so many others. I wear them 24/7 and I’m in love with how versatile they are. They go with everything." —Jenny Rodgers
Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 22 styles).
3. A leave-in curl conditioning and detangling spray designed for kids, but that'll be a treat for your adult hair too. No more torturing your curls with a brush that refuses to go through knots and dreading washing your hair because of it!
Promising review: "This is the BEST product EVER! I will never use another hair detangler ever again. We use this product daily in my house, my daughter, my son, and I. Both of us girls have long and thick curly hair, and it allows us to brush through our hair with no problems! And my son mostly uses it to style his hair before gel, and because it smells so good! We tried a few products from Walmart, Ulta, and Target, and nothing was good enough. This is now on my Subscribe & Save every month!" —Tamira McLelland
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (or $7.59 with the Subscribe & Save option).
4. A crystal glass butterfly necklace with fun Y2K-era glam vibes that's sure to become your everyday signature piece (aka your wardrobe ~wing~ woman).
This LA-based small biz stocks lots of fun throwbackish finds and pretty baubles (including a full matching butterfly collection).
Promising review: "The necklace is so gorgeous! The seller was also very responsive when I had to change my shipping address after ordering, and even checked after it was delivered to make sure I was happy with it. Great customer service and great jewelry!" —Tara K.
Get it from INDV Apparel on Etsy for $18+ (available in 10 colors).
5. A sleep mask with built-in Bluetooth headphones so you can use your soothing sounds to drown out the world around you and snooze hard. Plus, you can play your relaxing audio of choice without bothering your partner. @ my ex who would turn on white noise full blast from his phone without asking me first, please see the below.
They take around two hours to fully charge and can play for up to 10 hours with a single charge!
Promising review: "I love, love love this mask! I was truly impressed by the sound quality of those little speakers! Very comfortable to wear and sleep in various positions. It is a blackout mask and trust me, if you have it on correctly, you will not see any light at all. I normally have difficulty falling asleep, but now I can't wait to put it on, because I Bluetooth it to my phone and turn on my sleep meditation and I promise you I am sleep in about 10 mins or less. I accidentally overslept last week because I forgot to turn my alarm back on and when I took off the mask the sun was shining bright so I knew I was late; thankfully not too late. The charge on the mask lasts a long time as well." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 12 colors).
6. A clawsome kitty sponge holder that's purrrrrrfect for letting your dishwashing tool drain (instead of letting it fester...*shudders*) and sure to score compliments from everyone who enters your kit(ty)chen.
Promising review: "Not just for sponges! I saw this while surfing through Amazon home goods, and decided that a) I am enough of a cat lover that I had to have it and b) it may just solve my habit of sending my honey’s bar soap flying off the ledge in the shower when I’m blinded by shampoo suds. So far so good! It suctioned right to the wall and seems like the hold has stayed solid through normal use so far — I didn’t do any special scrubbing of the wall first, just wet down the suction cup itself and voilà. I don’t know how it will do when the bar soap gets smaller, but I presume it will be fine." —Lizbeth
Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in two colors).
7. And to complete the (fe)lineup, a trio of cat face nonscratch scrubber sponges to add a bit of whimsy to your post-dinner chores.
Promising review: "Repeat purchase. These are cute, effective, and long-lasting. Good value for money." —Lesley C. Peebles
Get them from Amazon for $10.
8. A fun magnet featuring an iconic line from a favorite movie that'll make fellow fans shriek with joy when they see it on your fridge or magnet board.
9. A cute and comfy henley top with more style than a basic tee, but that's just as easy. Go ahead and stock up on a few — you won't be the only one.
Promising reviews: "I love this top so much that I've purchased four of them. I get compliments from strangers, especially when I wear the one with lemons. Fun shirts!" —Aline
"These tops are unbelievably comfortable! I am a short person (5'3"), so usually tunics are way too long for me. These tops are absolutely perfect!" —SGMitch
Get it from Amazon for $23.85+ (available in women's sizes 1X–4X and in 43 colors and prints).
10. The *cutest* puffy nylon glasses case made from recycled materials by It brand Baggu that'll keep your specs safe and make you smile every time you pull 'em out.
And um, I think you're gonna need the matching earbuds case, too.
Get it from Baggu for $17 (available in seven colors and prints).
11. Super affordable (just over a buck a piece) knotted satin scrunchies you will ~knot~ regret buying once you see how much they upgrade even the simplest of OOTDs.
Promising review: "Very versatile and stylish. These are super silky and exactly what I was looking for. Bonus points because the bows can untie, so you can just use it as a scrunchie. It’s great too because you can just put it on however you want and then slide the bow to where it needs to be, since it isn’t sewn down (ie. no retying because the bow is off to the side). I get compliments all the time when I wear them!" —Tiffany Andrews
Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.45.
12. Or a set of big bow barrettes for an even more dramatic way to finish a 'do. Pair 'em with a half-up-half-down hairstyle and your fave jeans-and-sweater combo and thank me later.
Promising review: "Beautiful bows, exactly as pictured. They satin has a nice weight to it, so the bow sits beautifully in your hair. The clip is huge and would work great on thick or curly hair too! I've fallen asleep with it in and it was still there when I woke up from my impromptu nap. The colors are beautiful and the variety is amazing. I'll totally buy more and recommend this product highly." —Lea Noelle
Get a set of six from Amazon for $12.90.
13. TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum, which is also formulated with vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, witch hazel, and jojoba oil and has earned over 70,000 (!!!) 5-star ratings. This stuff is designed to leave you looking fresh-faced, and has helped reviewers with everything from redness to fading acne scars to increasing brightness, softness, and overall *glowiness*.
It's cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I have issues with sum damage spots and uneven red blotchy complexion. After using this serum for a week I started to notice an amazing improvement in my skin tone. With continued use, my skin tone is better than it's been since I was young. AMAZING serum. It actually does what it's advertised to do. I will definitely be restocking!" —Milk
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
14. A nine-piece cake decorating kit that'll step up your baking game by allowing you to pipe three colors at a time and create delectable delights no one will believe are homemade. Paul Hollywood will be calling you any day now....
It comes with a coupler, two tips, and six piping bags.
Promising review: "I just want to quit my job and open a cupcake shop. I had never piped frosting before. This set is easy to use, easy to clean, and my first attempt turned out great! I used an electric mixer to mix confectioner’s sugar into store-bought frosting to get a thicker consistency, then portioned my frosting into separate bowls and mixed in the coloring. The piping bag was super easy to put together. Once I had it ready I just spooned globs of frosting into each one, squeezed it all down toward the tip, twisted the excess plastic, and let ‘er rip. There are lots of videos on YouTube that show different techniques and stuff. This is a great set for a beginner, especially for the price! Super fun! I’m so happy with this purchase!" —Lizzy
Get it from Amazon for $7.79.
15. A whimsical and amazingly affordable set of eight mini nail polishes from E.l.f.'s adorbs gaming-inspired collection for anyone who's tired of basic neutral fall nails — fun is right at your fingertips, literally.
16. A sleek and strappy bodysuit sure to become a new wardrobe staple. Pair it with jeans for brunch, a skirt for a party, and ~nothing else~ for the bedroom.
Promising review: "After reading reviews, I decided to order a size up. I ordered a XL and it fits perfect. It's nice and tight, but not so tight that the straps dig into my skin. Also, I like the built-in thong. It's so sexy and makes me feel sexy. I love it." —Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in seven colors).
17. OMGworthy mismatched avocado toast earrings I guarantee none of your friends will be able to stop ~gauc~ing about.
Yellow Owl Workshop is a woman-owned business based in San Francisco, and IMHO their novelty gifts and jewelry can best be described as "too cute to be allowed."
Promising review: "Adorable silliness. Love these little earrings; I get compliments on them every time I wear them. They are like the calling card of millennials. Can't afford a house because of all the avocado on toast we eat." —Nicola H.
Get them from Yellow Owl Workshop for $21.50 and shop more of the brand's clever earrings here.
18. A ridiculously simple and affordable fabric teaser toy to treat both you and your cat, because it really is the little things that bring pets the most joy. Just wave this kitty magic wand around, and get ready to have as much fun watching them as they will playing with it.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says, "This is inexplicably my cat Clementine's favorite thing in the whole wide world. Whenever I think of Linus from the Peanuts, I think of his blanket, and whenever I think of Clemmy, I think of her string on a stick."
Promising review: "My husband says, 'It’s just a strip of cloth on a stick!' Yet our two boys know the cloth has just the right pattern, strength, and floatiness to make it fascinating to cat brains! When the strip is shaken rapidly in midair over their heads, the pattern appears to strobe and they go wacky! Good jumping exercise!" —dc99
Get it from Chewy for $5.35+ (available in two colors).
19. A throwback-tastic Jonas Brothers tee — that's legit making me emotional?!? — for anyone who is *definitely* old enough to know they're never letting go.
I'm totally obsessed with this Arlington, Virginia-based small biz's selection of cute and creative fandom merch for some of my favorite things: Disney, Taylor Swift, and of course, the band comprised of Joseph Adam, Nicholas Jerry, and Paul Kevin II Jonas. Told you it wasn't just a phase (I have remembered all their middle names for 15 years).
Promising review: "AMAZING. Great quality shirt and great print. The shop owner is so kind and had my shirt to me in FOUR DAYS so my last-minute self could have the perfect shirt for the concert. So appreciated and will definitely buy from this shop again. 💛" —jenna
Get it from ShopEddieLane on Etsy for $25 (available in unisex sizes S–5XL and in four colors).
20. Beachy wood-effect peel-and-stick wallpaper you can use to give a vacation house vibe to everything from full walls to previously blah pieces of furniture.
Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews, but I loved this wallpaper! It was mostly easy to put on and if I had to fix a mistake or line up the paper, it came off the wall easily enough and stuck back on with no problem. After a week it’s still sticking great. My family and neighbors love it. Great price as well." —Christian Ray Roncketti
Get it from Amazon for $4.89+ (available in nine roll sizes).
21. A plush corgi burger because (*extremely corn kid voice*) just look at this thing. You need it perched on your desk or your sofa ASAP — I don't care how old you are.
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
22. An impressive peanut butter knife made to get EVERY LAST DROP of goodness out of the jar, without getting your hands all sticky. It'll save you money, mess, and meal-prep time.
Promising review: "It will save your life! Give you wings! Make you taller! More handsome! It will reverse male-pattern baldness!! It will teach your dog to behave! Has been known to bring feuding families back to an amicable place of respect and love! Your glass will always be half full! You will suddenly find yourself only grabbing on-sale items grocery shopping (by accident even!). Just having one PB-Jife in the household has been noted as a confirmed good luck charm and beacon for positivity and fortune to befall you!* Two days on Amazon Prime later, and here I am full of life, typing this with my CLEAN HANDS AND KNUCKLES! After just scraping the bottom of a big ol'peanut butter jar out in two seconds effortlessly. It might look big and awkward (it's a monster of a one-use tool), but seriously if you have an intense dislike for getting PB on your fingertips dealing with jars — this is the solution you've been looking for. Long live PB-Jife.
*Will not do anything in that first paragraph. I'm sorry." —CW
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
23. Better Living and Home's natural probiotic deodorant that comes in biodegradable packaging and is available in all sorts of scents (including an unscented version for folks who are sensitive to smells), so you can feel good about both your pits and your environmental footprint.
It's from a woman-owned, New Jersey-based small business!
Promising review: "My new favorite deodorant!!!! Works waaaaaaaay better than the big name brands. And a huge plus that it’s all organic ingredients. I was a little nervous trying it out for the first time because I’m usually a sweaty person. I was worried it wouldn’t hold up against my body’s natural odor but it did!!! I got home and smelled no B.O. I definitely recommend this product; never going back to my old deodorant!! —Karina Lagunas
