Promising review: "Someone gifted me a Black Lit box and I LOVED it! It was well packaged and everything included was great quality. I’m so looking forward to using everything in my box! Also, the box was identity-affirming, and served as a gentle reminder to celebrate myself and other women of color in my village. I would highly recommend this box as a gift to yourself or a special person in your life!" —Paris B.
Get it from Cratejoy for $25/month.
3. A tube of Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara to make your lashes as long as a Quentin Tarantino film.
Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte Cosmetics for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like crazy and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E. Miller
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
4. A set of three ceramic hands for sprucing up your decor in the new year with some ~handy~ statuettes.

Promising review: "I liked the funky aspect of these." —Karen K
Get them on sale from Ashley Homestore for $42.99 (originally $87.99).
5. An LED floor lamp you can rotate and manipulate to create completely different lighting in your home — this clever light is a seriously ~bright~ idea.
Promising review: "This is extremely easy to assemble and there are tons of ways to showcase this unique lamp. It's a conversation starter for sure. I absolutely LOVE this lamp. The three dimming options exceeded my expectation and it’s perfect for lighting up an entire room or having a dim light on before bed!! I would recommend this to all my friends and family!! Heck, I’d recommend it to strangers!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in two colors).
6. A softening seven-day foot peel sure to make your feet silky smooth. No more torn tights or scratchy sheets in your life!

Promising review: "I actually didn't realize just how dry my feet were until I used these socks. My husband and I used them at the same and over the next three to seven days our feet literally flaked away. The only issue being that we had to hoover up the house everyday (I know — eeeeeew) but the finished result was better than anything I've ever got from a luxury 'all singing all dancing' pedicure from the salon. Highly highly recommended!" —PomeloJo
Get it from Beauty Pie for $25 (or become a member and get it for $3.51).
7. A pair of 1460 smooth leather lace-ups for adding a little spice to your all-Doc shoe closet. Updating your closet for the new year doesn't mean changing your taste...at least not when it's already this good.
Promising review: "I have the cherry red ones and I've been wanting the black ones for a while. I finally got them for my birthday and I love them soo much!!! I can't wait to order more. They are just gorgeous!" —Karina C.
Get them from Dr. Martens for $150 (available in 12 colors and sizes 5–12).
8. A set of fiberglass chopsticks that are dishwasher safe and made with a no-slip design, so you can eat noodles without tasty bites slipping and sliding before they make it into your mouth.

These also work great with hot foods, i.e. they won't get too hot when hanging out in a steaming bowl of broth.
Promising review: "This is a quality set of chopsticks! The fiberglass is heavier than standard wood ones (obviously), but they are still easy to use. They don't feel that heavy in the hand. The tips are textured slightly for a better grip on food; this is really great with noodles. The top has a pretty design. I haven't had them very long, but they seem durable and relatively scratch resistant. They clean easily with soap and warm water (they're also dishwasher-friendly). I was looking for an affordable, re-useable set and originally considering stainless steel ones. But based on a number of reviews stating that the material on some wasn't true stainless steel, or they're too heavy, or they get too hot if left in a bowl, I ultimately went with this set. I'm very glad I did!" —nhcabin
Get a box of 10 pairs from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four styles).
9. A pair of teeny-tiny macrame potted plants for anyone who wants to ~plant~ something precious in their car and add a little life to their commute.
Promising review: "These are very cute! Both plants came wrapped in plastic for safekeeping during delivery. They were easy to put together, anyone could do it. They're very sturdy and very good quality for the price! The plants are obviously fake but that's a good thing because you won't have to worry about keeping them alive, LOL. They're easy to attach to your review mirror with the clip they provide." —Jehnayyee
Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).
10. A chic plus sign area rug that'll make a big difference in your bare apartment — each little piece of decor really does add up!

Promising review: "This is softer than I anticipated and I'm really enjoying the tassels. It's good quality." —Michael J.
Get it from Boutique Rugs for $130+ (available in four sizes).
11. A fun-sized skincare kit filled with magical lotions and potions your bod is gonna love, no matter ~witch~ way your travels take you.
Let's just hope it's somewhere warm.
This includes the Milky Jelly Cleanser, Super Bounce serum, Rich Priming Moisturizer, two Balm Dot Coms, and Future Dew oil.
Promising review: "My set arrived last night and I am SO happy with it. They chose great products. The super bounce serum and rich moisturizer were new to me (and I’ll be buying full size when I run out). The mini Balm Dot Coms are SO CUTE. The packaging is great. Everything is wonderful, I have a ton of Glossier already and love having the minis on hand for travel, to use anyway, etc. I love that Glossier did this." —Jen
Get it from Glossier for $50.
12. A pair of Silhouette eyeglasses sure to surprise and delight fashion-forward folks who love sporting a chic-Zenon style. Zetus (and I cannot stress this enough) lapetus.

Hey look, that's my face up there! I've worn glasses since the first grade and as I've gotten older I've started to invest in really cool frames. I love having unique glasses and these definitely fit the bill. They're gorgeous (I get compliments truly every time I'm outside) and really lightweight. The best part is that, despite being so lightweight, they're suuuper strong (hello, titanium). If you're the kinda person who likes to splurge on frames, these are the way to go!
Get them from Designer Eyes for $425 (available with and without prescription).
13. A no-wire bra so your boobs can get all-day support without feeling like they're in boob prison. Go ahead, keep this on even after you get home.

Promising review: "Looking for comfort? This is it! It's the most comfortable bra ever. I love the racer back option in the back as well." —Bernadette F.
Get it from Lively for $35 (available in three colors and sizes 32A–34DD).
14. A bottle of Tend Skin for getting rid of the redness, irritation, and razor bumps that made shaving the ~pits~ in 2020.

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING. You would never believe it, but it works wonders. One of the worst parts of summer for me is razor burn and chafing/irritation, particularly at the beach when the hair follicles on my legs dry up from the saltwater. This stuff prevents ALL of that. No bumps, no pain, nothing. The best part? It doesn't matter when you put it on. Before you shave, after you shave, even when you're not shaving, going to the beach, getting back from the beach, etc. It just always works." —Claire
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
15. A pair of Sock Ons you can toss on over your baby's socks to keep them in place. These also keep your kiddo from pulling their socks off if they seem to think removing clothes is the best way to work on their fine motor skills.

Promising review: "My baby is a Houdini when it comes to losing socks. These keep the socks on longer then anything else. She can only get them off if she concentrates for a long time, and being 11 months old, that rarely happens. These have been a lifesaver during this Midwest winter!" —Beth
Get them from Amazon for $8.60 (available in 0-6 months and 6-12 months and in five colors).
16. A surprisingly aesthetic natural wood essential oil diffuser with a car vent clip that'll let you use all your favorite essential oils in your car, saving you from suffering through the scent of faux plastic pine.
This comes with a lavender essential oil.
Promising review: "I’m very particular when it comes to scent so I’m picky about choosing products for my house and car. I’ve always used car air fresheners but was looking for an alternative that wouldn’t give me a headache with an overpowering chemical scent for my long commutes. This oil diffuser is a great alternative to other generic brands. The scent of lavender essential oil is lush, soothing but not overpowering which is great for de-stressing during my commutes. You can also place it on top of your work desk for a subtle and soothing aroma. The diffuser came in high quality packaging with two petite reeds sticks. Highly recommend it!" —Eric H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
17. A pair of leggings with a soft exterior and an essential amount of stretchiness — these are sure to be the go-to piece your body has been begging for now that the blustery weather is back. Bless.
Promising review: "I’m a girl with a lot of leggings and these white leggings are the softest I own. They fit great and don’t see through much if wearing the right color underwear. They are my favorite leggings. I’m getting more." —Carley Jet
Get them from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in two sizes that fit S-XXXL and 22 colors).
18. A sea salt cactus candle for classic movie fans who are happy to decorate their home with Audrey Hepburn-themed candles.

I own several Favor candles and have also given them out as gifts. There are a huge selection of scents/phrases to choose from, so it's easy to find a fit for anyone in your life — or your own home decor.
Get it from Favor Candles for $13+ (available in two sizes).
19. A wrinkle-eliminating spray that can also work as a static and odor remover, refreshing your fabrics and making wrinkle-free clothes a simple spray away. Ever dream about doing laundry? Me neither. Until now.
This spray is amazing if you're the kind of person who never pulls the laundry out of the dryer immediately after it's done. Spray this on, lay your clothing out for a few minutes, and it'll be wrinkle free! This also eliminates odors and static.
Promising review: "I purchased this because my husband does our laundry and he has no concept of taking our clothes out of the dryer before wrinkles set in. I was skeptical about it at first, but it actually works! I used it on a t-shirt and boom, the wrinkles came out." —Kindle Customer Jackie
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.94.
20. A box of organic bath bombs for nourishing yourself in the new year with the best kind of medicine...baths.

Promising review: "I love these bath bombs! They all smell fantastic and make such a wonderful soothing and relaxing bath. These are good sized bombs for my large tub. I only use all natural body products and I am so grateful to find a company that is committed to making quality, all natural products!" —Bama
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
21. A pair of fleece slippers so comfy you won't even feel ~sheepish~ about wearing them when you're out and about.
Promising review: "These slippers feel like a hug on my feet. They have a hard bottom so you can wear them out. The top part is so incredibly soft!!! I love these!" —Cyndi Lundeberg
Get them from Amazon for $23.99 (available in five colors and sizes 5–10).
22. A pair of macrame plant hangers – they're gonna spruce up your place by giving you back the much-needed counter space your plants have been taking over.

23. A genuinely lovely towel warmer that'll improve the look of your bathroom *and* provide you with that fresh-outta-the-dryer feel every time you pull a towel out and wrap it around ya body!

24. A wall-mounted cat bed for folks who feel all ~bubbly~ inside when they fill their home with cool cat products.

Promising review: "I love this and so does my cat. It's such a great looking design and looks great on my wall. My only criticism is the dome was a little tricky to screw onto the main part. It isn't complicated its just a little awkward. Apart from that this cat bed/spaceship is awesome!" —Tom B
Get it from Amazon for $133.18+ (available in two colors).
25. A tote bag big enough to fit everything you could possibly carry with you. Well, aside from the giant ego you're gonna be walking around with after all the compliments you get on this snazzy new accessory.

Promising review: "This is stylish and sturdy. I use this one for work, to carry my 15.6" laptop. The bag has enough space to carry my laptop, the charger, notepad, stickies, pens, headset for conferences, a couple of folders...etc. It feels a bit tight in the upper end when the laptop is in, but I still can put my hand in and reach out for objects in the bottom. I love the smell of the leather, and the finishing is really nice. It looks smaller than it actually is. I like it, because you don't seem to be walking around with a massive tote, and it is more stylish than a backpack." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in 11 colors).
26. An anti-nail-biting pen with anti-inflammatory ingredients to prevent sore skin and a brutally bitter taste to prevent biting them in the first place. Now your dream of long, lovely nails is sure to be a reality...finally.

Promising review: "I LOVE this product! My daughter and I both bite our nails. I usually purchase the no-bite nail polish because it's just what I'm used to. This is significantly better for several reasons. 1) It doesn't have that strong nail polish smell. 2) I can put on as we walk out the door because we don't need to wait for it to dry. 3) We both bite around our cuticles and we can apply this to our entire finger if needed because once it dries you can't see it or feel it, unlike the glossy polish. 4) If it spills or drips, then it's not a big deal because it doesn't stain or need to be removed from surfaces." —Meghan
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
27. A pStyle — a nonsitting urination tool so useful you'll wanna give it a ~standing~ ovation.

Promising review: "This is perfect for urinal use as an FTM trans guy who doesn't care about realistic STP use. I love it, it's way better than other 'female' stand-to-pee devices. I can easily use this one through my jeans' zipper and my boxer briefs — no spillage, small place to aim, or having to pee slowly. I am very happy with it, plus it fits in my men's jeans pocket just fine." —Thomas
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors).
28. A pet hair broom that extends up to 60 inches, so you can actually reach all the nooks and crannies where your pet puts her fanny...and get all the hair she loves leaving behind.
Promising review: "I bought this broom based on the tons of great reviews and I am not disappointed. I love this broom! It is lightweight but sturdy. I have used it on tile floors and carpet and it does a great job of getting the pet hair, lint, and dirt. I like this so much better than our traditional push broom. It is very easy to clean after use just using my hand, unlike our old broom. It also has a telescoping handle so that you can adjust it to whatever height you need. There is also a squeegee for doing the house windows and the car windows. I highly recommend it." —Joyce V
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
29. A Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturiser with sheer to medium coverage for fresh, hydrated skin. This also has SPF 30 to protect you from sun damage and is made with a water-infused, oil-free formula that's sure to give your skin a dewy glow.
Promising review: "I have been using complexion rescue tinted moisturizer for a year. I wouldn't want to go a day without it now. It is light coverage worn alone, or can be used under foundation for more coverage. I love it!" —aflower23
Get it from bareMinerals for $33 (available in 20 shades).
30. A 10-piece Everplush towel set — grab a full set and you'll make major progress in adulthood-ing your home.

This set includes four bath towels, four hand towels, and two wash clothes. FYI, I actually own Everplush towels and can confirm: they are luxurious!
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this set! They are just as soft as the pictures lead you to believe and definitely worth the money!" —Utah 353
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $150.
31. A bottle of buffalo-flavored Tabasco that's gonna give your tastebuds that buffalo flavor you love, sans milk products. This sounds like a ~dairy~ great idea, if you ask me.
Promising review: "This tastes just like buffalo sauce without the dairy!" —StracCutchEbbs
Get it from Amazon for $8.03.
32. A Stealth core trainer that'll trick you into loving exercise. This video game balancing board'll be your favorite entertainment when you're lying around and looking for something to do.
Getting a Stealth board was the very best thing that has happened to me during quarantine. Mixing the fun of games on your phone with the natural endorphins you get from exercising is, to put it lightly, genius. I have two in my home and my husband and I compete daily to see who can last the longest. My favorite game is the paragliding challenge, he's into the planet-blasting space adventure. Nerd.
Promising review: "I believe any money invested in health and fitness is worth it when utilized. This is a great purchase and integrates gaming with fitness. It's a fun way to build a strong core and expose the abs. No assembly is required, just a quick app download and you'll be ready to break your friends' record and at the same time sculpt your abs." —Makisan
Get it from Amazon for $149.
33. And finally, a deck of Dream Decoder cards so you can try and figure out what your dreams mean. Why do I keep dreaming about my teeth falling out? Tell me!

Promising review: "I LOVE these cards. They have been such a fun conversation starter and an interesting thing to have around the house when my boyfriend or I have a super strange dream. Plus the artwork is gorgeous and the descriptions are thorough and thoughtful." —Kenzi
Get a set of 60 cards from Amazon for $15.29.
