1. A pair of Katy Perry's Geli Sandals adorned with a cute toe piece and adjustable straps. Truly, does it get any more darling than this?! It does not.
Promising review: "I absolutely adore these sandals! They smell so good that my entire closet smells like peaches. I ordered a 9 when I usually wear an 8, but I have another pair Katy Perry sandals and I can do both sizes. I find them extremely comfortable and get many compliments on them." —Queenof3hrts
Get them from Amazon for $9.68+ (available in sizes 5-11 and 23 adorable styles),
2. A reel viewer (oh, I can feel the nostalgia now!) you can customize with YOUR OWN PHOTOS. My childhood self is screaming, and so will your childhood bestie when they see this.
Promising review: "I bought two of these to give as gifts to my mom and to my best friend. For my mom I filled the reel with pictures from her life leading up to her granddaughter being born! She absolutely loved it. My best friend recently lost her father so I made a reel in memory of him and she loved it! And it's great that once you have the viewer you can order as many reels as you want!" —Lauren
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $29.95.
3. A pretty gold fortune-telling book that'll make for a great conversation piece. It explores the meaning of names, color choices, zodiac signs, and so much more.
And if anything, it will look AMAZING sitting on your coffee table.
Promising review: "Very fun and a quick read! Shows you your fortune based on your birthdate, favorite color, season and many other choices. Super small and fits right in your purse." —misskleiry
4. A shade-shifting, multichrome nail polish for a galactic manicure that's genuinely out of this world — just like you! *Cue the, aaawwes.*
Promising review: "This color is amazing. People stop me all the time wanting to know which salon I went to. They always think it's gel too. I have tried it over black nail polish and it does last longer and I've tried it with just two coats and it's still beautiful." —England86
Get it from Amazon for $10.
5. A custom SCENTED(!!) donut necklace that spells out your name, because someone as ~sweet~ as you needs darling to jewelry to match.
Love shopping small? This is a Black woman-owned shop that offers up adorable *mini* treats.
Get it from Decadent Minis on Etsy for $29.50+ (available in eight scents, a custom scent, or unscented).
6. A skull cakelet pan with the spOOooOOky ability to make all types of food — from pizza pockets to cornbread to cake.
Promising review: "Don't let the price scare you. This pan is very good quality and even being the poor baker that I am, I have had great success every time I've used it. I made skullzones (calzones in the shape of skulls) and various beer breads. The definition of the skulls on the baked product is very impressive. Just a quick rinse with hot soapy water and it's clean. No sticking what-so-ever. I am definitely a fan of Nordic Ware now." —ShopperBee
Get it from Amazon for $31.48.
7. A cocktail math poster that'll give you an easy cheat sheet while you're whippin' up any of these artisanal boozy drinks. Wall decor that's also functional? More of *that*, please!
Get it from Everlong Print Co. on Etsy for $23.68+ (available in eight style and size combinations).
8. A set of magical pressed glitters sure to deliver a long-lasting sequin shine you'll never want to take off.
Promising review: "With some right skills you can make these eyeshadows look pretty glamorous! Most important tip is to use couple of different eye primers and several eyeshadows prior to using this glitter. You won’t achieve much just by putting this glitter on your eyelids without priming them." —ElenorY
Get it from Amazon for $9.88.
9. A golden retriever window decal that's *almost* as good as the real thing. Consider this the pet you've wanted, but without all the responsibility.
Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE my adorable dog! It looks adorable on my car and people constantly comment when I’m in a parking lot or smile and laugh when they drive by. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this decal, who my kids have named Murphy!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
10. A Nicolas Cage sequin pillowcase your life and living room would be blessed to have around. Like, this is an actual *treasure*.
No, I am not over this pillow nor will I ever be.
Get it from Poo Sparkles on Etsy for $25.05+ (available as a pillow cover or as a pillow, and in three sequin colors).
11. An avocado pool float featuring its very own seed that doubles as a beach ball. Your pool days are gonna ~guac~ hard with this hanging around.
Promising review: "Adorable! Material is thicker and should hold up well. Quickly inflated with air compressor but not so large you couldn't blow up by mouth. If you are looking for a unique pool float that nobody else has, this is it!" —Amanda Austin
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
12. Kabob grilling baskets to make grilling and eating this delicious meal actually easy. Honestly, this is genius, I want them, and I don't even grill. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, and dry immediately.
Promising review: "These unique and well-made baskets have made it easy and fun to try different combinations of proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Even our young grandchildren can make their kabobs safely." —Lainey
Get a set of four from Uncommon Goods for $17.
13. An ice wedge glass that'll keep your finest bourbon nice and chilled instead of watered down. It's what it deserves!!!
It comes with the glass and the top mold for making the ice wedge.
Promising review: "If you love the taste of your favorite spirit, this is for you! The ice is quick to chill the liquid with minimum dilution. Enjoy the fullness and also the refraction of the light through the wedge." —Jim
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
14. A portable lounge chair you can literally take anywhere with you, from the beach to an outdoor concert. It packs into a tiny bag for transport and inflates magically within seconds. This is a life must-have if you ask me.
Read our review of this inflatable air lounger (#1 on the list)!
Here's an excerpt: "You just spin in a circle with them and suddenly you have a magically inflated chair? Seems unlikely. But now that I've tried them, I can confirm that they're (almost) that easy. It does take a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but pretty much anyone can figure it out in five to ten minutes.
Seriously, these things are comfortable. Like being cradled in a waterbed taco. Everyone at the beach who tried them felt very relaxed and some people even took a little nap. It's also worth mentioning that they're pretty durable. Some of my friends took turns catapulting each other off it (we're adults) and they didn't burst." —Bek O'Connell
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four colors).
15. A customized bracelet with a sweet message in your handwriting. Simply scan your words to the artisan on Etsy, and they'll create a signature bangle for you or your soul person (or both!).
Get it from Silver Handwriting Jewelry on Etsy for $34.87 (available in eight sizes and three finishes).
16. A stainless-steel insert that'll transform your charcoal grill into a PIZZA OVEN. Yes, you can make pizza on your grill, and dinner is at your house!
Promising review: "I really researched and shopped around before I purchased this from Amazon. I cooked my first pizza on it and it came out like a pro!! We will be using this especially during the summer as it pretty much stay in the triple digits here (the Mojave Desert). I cannot believe it took less than 10 minutes to bake an entire pizza. I recommend that you go to the KettlePizza website to get pointers from some of the celebrity chefs that they have videos of. These pointers really did help me to cook a perfect pizza!" —Kim Suzanne
Get it from Amazon for $115.
17. AND!! A nonstick pizza prep mat, because there is not a soul in the world who doesn't love pizza, and therefore, would not want this mat.
Promising review: "Really great product! Works on countertops and allows you to roll out dough (any kind, not just pizza) and get the dimensions accurate (round or square). Cleans up easily and works use after use." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
18. A set of cat gel roller pens that are A) stupid cute, B) work incredibly well, and C) waaay better than boring ol' pens.
Promising review: "These adorable pens are a hoot! I can now ensure the pen thieves stay away from my desk. The point is very fine. It writes smoothly with black ink. The colors, and the tiny faces are too cute. My favorite part is the little tail on the cap." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99+.
19. A terrarium candle to combine your love of gardening and candles. Please, just look at these. I don't even think I need to do anymore explaining, they practically sell themselves.
The candle base is made 100% soy wax, and the cactus/peony a soy blend. They have a 30-35 hour burn time so you can soak up the heavenly scent for hours on end.
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $25 (available in a cactus or peony).
20. A lemon purse your closet is thirsty for — trust me, I asked.
Promising review: "I needed a small cross-body bag to hold my phone and my wallet, and this is the perfect size! It will fit probably a portable battery and maybe one or two other small things as well, but it isn't big or bulky, like I feared it might be. It's just the right size for what I need! The colors are very bright and it's in excellent condition. I highly recommend this purse! It's adorable and feels very durable. I'm tempted to get the watermelon one just because!" —Erin
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in lemon and watermelon).
21. Tequila Mockingbird — an incredibly fun cocktail recipe book for those obsessed with fine literature, even finer cocktails, and the finest things in life. Period.
22. A neck pillow in the shape of a FREAKIN' SHRIMP. Why use a plain neck pillow when you could be sleeping on a shrimp one?!? This isn't up for debate, this pillow rocks.
Promising review: "This pillow changed my life. Birthday for someone you're in love with? Wanna show your teacher you appreciate them? Does your hairdresser give you solid looks for solid prices and you need a Christmas gift for them? Does your neck need support late at night when your playing scary video games in the dark at 2 a.m. when you should be studying for finals? This shrimp neck pillow was the answer to all those questions. Its so comfortable. It's so fashionable. It's so iconic. No one will ever disrespect you with this on your neck. If you have doubts, take my word for it. This pillow is where it's at." —McHoot
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
23. A giant unicorn sprinkler that shoots water out of its horn (adorable) to give you a refreshing mist on scorching hot days. Also, IT'S AN INFLATABLE UNICORN! What more do you want!
Get it from Firebox for $62.99 (also available in a pink elephant sprinkler!).
24. A large sideways initial necklace you can pair with literally any outfit for a dainty but statement-making accent. I don't know how those two things go so well together, but they do.
Promising review: "This necklace is more pretty in person. I love the large size of the letter pendant, chain length, and how it's attached to the chain to give it a offset angle once you put it on. It looks really trendy and personalized once you match it with a cute outfit." —Erin Delancy
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+.
25. A sleek tumbler (available in TONS of colors and sizes — though this "ocean quartz" is an obvious choice), and I didn't even know water bottles could be cool? This is fun and I want 20 of them.
It even comes with two lids and straws — one for cold beverages and a lid for warmer drinks (like coffee or tea!).
Promising review: "I bought the all-black version and it's beautiful. Not only that, but the interchangeable tops and two plastic straws!!! I'm so excited to be saving the whales and looking amazing in the process. I should ask for commission on the sales of this because all of my coworkers want one now. Another great part that I don't think the description mentions, there's NO condensation AT ALL. I also accidentally left half an iced-coffee WITH CUBES in here for nine hours and when I came home the cubes were still there and the coffee was still cold. ALSO, I have tiny hands which sometimes makes holding things difficult. But the 16-oz size is tall and slim and easy to carry/fit in small bags. 20/10." —jacklynn ramos
Get it from Amazon for $17.60+ (available in four sizes, 35 prints/colors, and customizable text).
26. While were on the topic of hydration, rainbow stainless-steel straws — they're not only environmentally-friendly, but simply darling. I love pretty, practical things, I sure do.
Each set comes with four bent straws, four straight straws, one cleaning brush, and a canvas pouch.
Promising review: "Got them to eliminate the use of plastic straws for environmental purposes, and they’re great, I love them! They’re beautiful and feel very durable and honestly make my cold beverage taste crisper." —STINAXOXO
Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two sizes).
Me after that shrimp pillow:
