Promising review: "I’m really surprised at how well these turned out! The socks are soft and the pattern is cute and clear. They cropped the photo perfectly. I didn’t have high expectations because they charge so much less than other companies but the risk was sooooo worth it! I don’t think they could have done better. Plus, the shipping was estimated to arrive by dec 19-the middle of January but they arrived on Dec 12!" —Savannah Del Ray

Practical gifts that bring you joy? That's a win-win, folks.
Promising review: "A few of my coworkers chipped in and bought our departmental mascot, whom we've dubbed Larry the Llama. We love this little guy! And bonus: He's quite functional. Our desks get pretty dusty, and Larry helps get all that muck off our desks. And he's adorably handsome. He can be bent into 3 different positions: 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and completely straight. This makes him more effective at cleaning our desks, and allows him to be positioned in few different ways when he's just chilling out watching us work. Here he is, peering over the cube wall, watching me work. He can be a nosy little llama." —Vegan-ish Mom Geek

Or at least a big fan of looking glam while sleeping a full 10 hours.
Promising review: "Comfortable, soft and cute! Gives enough darkness for a peaceful sleep without feeling suffocated like I have with other sleep masks. The elastic is secure but not too tight." —K. Garrett

Get it from Amazon for $8.46+ (available in two colors).
Promising review: "Super easy to use, makes a mean cup of joe, and is nowhere near the price of a Chemex. I use mine on a daily basis and would absolutely recommend this product to any of my coffee loving friends." —Brad Lemons

Promising review: "I love these earmuff headphones!! I have two pairs, both the white and gray. They look nice and match well with jackets and scarves. These are comfortable and keep my ears warm in the chilly winter wind! I use them everywhere and most people can’t tell they are headphones. They think I’m just keeping my earmuffs on indoors but usually I’m listening to an audiobook or music (unless I’m trying to tune people out). They have great sound quality for earmuffs and control buttons that are user friendly. I work at a call center and it can get LOUD. Luckily, the speakers give a clear sound and the earmuff part does seem to muffle the office noise well. They also charge fast and the battery life will last most of the day with continuous use. These make a great gift and usually spark a fun conversation! I highly recommend trying them out!" —Kalline
Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "Exactly what I wanted! Hands feel very clean after wash! Highly recommend! I read other reviews and decided these had the best reviews, those reviews did not disappoint! Each sheet of soap produces enough soap to give the comfort of knowing your hands are throughly clean. We liked our first order so much that we bought 10 packs for my fiancé's work crew to help make keeping their hands clean during this pandemic! ( he’s a delivery driver/repair tech). If you have wanted to try something like this product, I highly recommend this brand!" —Clippin4you

This has two USB ports to charge two devices at a time, and it holds enough juice to charge THREE iPhone 8s — so it's OK if they forget to charge *this* bb all the time too.
Promising review: "I love this portable charger! I didn’t think it would be a good idea, because normally you portable chargers die within the first charge it does. I have charged my phone over 4 times and haven’t had to charge it! That is including just leaving it in my bag for weeks until I need it again. It will not disappoint! I love it!" —MacMak

It charges via USB and has an up to three hour playback time!
Promising review: "The sound quality is amazing coming from such a small speaker! Spoken voice is clear and distinct ... music is full of nuances and tones, highs and lows ... what?! I never expected this from such a small and relatively inexpensive item! I bought it mostly to hook up to my iPad for FaceTiming but played some tunes and wow ... This is a versatile and high quality item! Love it so much I ordered a second one in pink [first one is green — awesome color!] and another for a gift! It is darn cute for a retro looking addition to you electronics ... Easy to hook up via Bluetooth or with the included cables. Battery is strong and long lasting...it went 2 hours PAST the manual specs! The only drawback, the little blinking Bluetooth light can be annoying but i just put a little bit of washi tape over it and problem solved." —Catzz
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors).
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord has to say about these: "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
There's a button to turn 'em on and off, and they come with batteries so you can ~get glowing~ as soon as they arrive.
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
The words glow in the dark, so you can enjoy some ~ambiance~ with low lighting and ensure your guests don't miss the coasters! Just rinse 'em clean or even toss 'em right in the dishwasher.
Promising review: "The coasters are neat. I was so tired of my glass sticking to my coaster while enjoying a beverage on my patio. These solved that issue." —Sherry Lachtrupp
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $16.95 (also available in one other saying).

Promising review: "Love this little thing! I have every thing you can think of at home for making coffee and espresso... Well I love the Starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew with foam. I set out to make my own. Well I can now make cold foam thanks to this little tool. Love it!" —Gav's mama
Get it from Amazon for $11.94+ (available in five colors).
It's made of Rfid-blocking material too.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! Boarding pass, passport, ID and credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, etc! Yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. Just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen (¥), which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 36 colors).

Promising review: "This little piece of screaming plastic has created an excellent outlet for resolving frustrations in our home.

When you get one, get four or five because you're going to want to share with family and friends." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is the best, cutest hat. And so warm with the fleece inside. I got so many compliments in the sub-zero weather. My head is large (not disproportionately, however I don't like hats that are too tight) and the fit is perfect. My friend even wanted the link so she could order one in a different color! I recommend this, two-day shipping, arrived just in time. I would buy from this seller again." —April Johnson

Promising review: "This is a fun puzzle and it is very good quality. The pieces are sturdy and do not bend. The colors are bright and sharp. The pieces fit well together without issues. This puzzle will give you a very fun experience and it's so cute you may even want to frame it to hang on the wall." —Mari N.

The set comes with a double old-fashioned glass and a silicone mold to make the wedge of ice.
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
Promising review: "We absolutely LOVE these whiskey wedge glasses. They are simple to use, durable, and are such a hit at dinner parties and cocktail hour. The wedge stays solid for a very long time and melts at the appropriate pace so as to not water down your drink. The bourbon drinkers around here are very pleased with the water melt ratio in this glass and we have since ordered three more to add to our first purchase! Highly recommend!!" —Haley E.
Each silicone mold makes two at a time, so you and a ghoulfriend can enjoy your scotches together.
Promising review: "I was looking just to make fun ice cubes for parties and came across this. I was a little skeptical at first but followed the directions and wow! The ice came out in skull shapes perfectly. Removal from the silicone tray was simple. These are great for parties or for everyday use as they last longer than regular ice cubes." —RJM 73

We're talking five matte, nine shimmer, and four duo-chrome shades, all super pigmented and with minimal fall-out.
Promising review: "I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY. There's almost zero fallout, extremely pigmented colors, blends creamy like butter, and the colors are beautiful. This rivals any of my Too Faced palettes — in fact far less fallout. These are the same quality if not better than my Urban Decay. Seriously not kidding. AND rivals my Kat Von D palettes. I rarely review anything, but this deserved a review." —Chandra
Get it from Amazon for $13.52.
Promising review: "This little palette packs a punch! I purchased it in the shade Mesa and it’s amazing. I am G12, and it looks fantastic. Hardly any fallout and the colors are very pigmented. You don’t even need a brush or eyelid primer." —Seraphine
Get it from Glossier for $22 (available in 10 shades).
Promising review: "This might be one of my favorite Amazon purchases to date! These clips are adorable, the quality of each is so great for the price, and there are so many options that are perfect for mixing and matching. I usually put two clips in my hair and they stay in great all day. I've been wearing these clips for weeks and none of them have broken or tarnished in any away. They are the perfect accessory! I highly recommend." —Madison Meehan
Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $17.99.
Promising review: "Move from slippers to loafers to boots — I cannot be without. Just bought a second pair and will probably get a third pair. I use them in my Ara loafers & sneakers, my well-worn UGG slippers and boots, anytime I want to feel dreamy, soft comfort. They can be trimmed if needed, you know; and you can remove the existing insole to use as a pattern." —Frozenaddict
Get them from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in men's sizes 7–15 for $19.95+, listed separately).
It's cruelty-free, smudge-proof, and removes easily at the end of the day with water.
Promising review: "I never write reviews for things, but this mascara was just so great I felt like I had to! I love lashes, and my friends are used to me wearing thick coats of mascara at all times. Despite this, I got complimented on my lashes basically every time I wore this mascara this week. Multiple people even asked if I had extensions! This mascara isn't clumpy at all, and makes your lashes super long and defined without sticking them together. I've never had any problems with flaking, and although it isn't waterproof, I've definitely used eyedrops, shed a tear, and gotten stuck in rain without them smudging or running down my face. All in all this is my new holy grail mascara, and I'm thrilled!!" —Sophie Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (also available in brown and packs of two).
Promising review: "Extremely impressed with the high quality and great price of this scarf. DOES NOT look cheap...I own an Acne Studios wool scarf ($250 retail) and would say while this one is a bit lighter weight (still super warm and cozy) it is comparable in style, color and quality to my Acne scarf. Would definitely buy again—both for myself and as a gift." —Natalie

This bag is great for errands and running around to my kids' sporting events. The feel of the bag is great and seems quite durable. I will be buying a couple of these bags for my teenage daughters!!" —zammama

Promising review: "Got these for my mom during her hospital stay. We had fun with the nurses and doctors, hiding my mom's slippered feet under the sheets, and then complaining of swollen feet.
