Promising review: "This is a beautiful hardcover cookbook with so many yummy Disney recipes from the parks! There is a lot of Disney foodie history in it, plus recipes that look easy to follow with high quality ingredients. There are fun maps of each of the parks inside where the food is located from, which makes it fun. As an avid Disney fan I have never seen a cookbook like this. I highly recommend this cookbook for any Disney fan, whether they cook or not! It would even make a beautiful decoration in a kitchen." —Nicole

I have this set! If you grow fatigued with traditional "floral fresh" soap scents, this is *such* a great set to try out! The lotion is a nice citrus and the soap is a musky botanical mix that I will honestly be buying forever more. The entire set is gorgeous (I actually have it all on display on my bathroom caddy because I'm a sucker for amber bottles) and the quality is obvious.

Promising review: "This is awesome and very pretty! My daughter and I had such a fun girls' night doing our nails with this lamp. I was impressed and wowed when we found out it had an auto detect sensor. It's so simple to use and I love the white pearl finish. It's beautiful and works well. We used it for 30-second intervals for each coat of polish and sealed the top for a minute and half. No regrets here. I love that a whole hand fits and it's still not nearly as bulky as the ones at the nail salons." —Starkiss22

Promising review: "This is amazing! It’s an adult blankie; so comfortable and warm. I live in a bus with solar power so I love drinking some hot chamomile tea, lounging on my memory foam futon/bed, and then curling up in my comfy 'body bag.' It’s easy to move in and made very well.

"I never knew I needed a weighted blanket until I got into bed, and pulled this cotton napper over me. Let 👏🏽me 👏🏽tell 👏🏽you — this blanket helped me to get the best night of sleep I've had in a long time. I'm a stomach sleeper which doesn't help my sciatica. I've been trying to sleep on my back or side like my chiropractor suggested but somehow, I always end up on my tummy. But this blanket held me in place all night long. The weight really is quite soothing. I'm not a hugger, but I'll be looking forward to hugging this blanket every night. And the rich colors? I swoon. 🤤" —Kit Stone, BuzzFeed Shopping writer

Promising review: "These sunglasses are absolutely adorable! They arrived exactly as pictured with a small cloth for cleaning the lenses safely. I love that they have such a classic style but with a slightly unique touch unlike anything I've seen before. I'm surprised how sturdy they feel for such a reasonable price! I really expected these to feel cheap, but they truly seem to be made to last. I would highly recommend this product. I loved them so much that I purchased another pair of Sojos sunglasses immediately after I received them and was not disappointed by the second pair either! I don't think I will be looking anywhere else for sunglasses in the future; these are perfect." —Elisabeth Paulson

I have this candle! I am a sucker for small biz candles and this brand is one of my all-time favorites. My home office is full of oddities and I loved the eclectic packaging at Sea Witch Botanicals, so I had to have some of my own products from the shop! If you, like me, prefer candles that are less sweet and more natural, you can't do better than this one!

Promising review: "This towel warmer is amazing. I was looking for something with a built-in timer and an in-wall cable installation that doesn’t have an ugly box outside of it. I love how the cable is integrated into the leg. The install was very difficult on my end due to trying to fish power from my attic to the bathroom and the hole being 1/2 inch. I didn’t have any power outlets nearby. Totally worth it. It does get very warm and my small bathroom doesn’t have a heater in it so I was surprised how warm the bathroom was! An added bonus!" —Terrace

Promising review: "I could not resist ordering these — they are too cute! You get six wool dryer balls and each has a different animal face (my favorite being the one that looks like a koala). They are well made and come in a cloth bag to keep in; however, I plan to just leave mine in the dryer full time so I don't have to think about it.
On the back of the card it tells you how they source their wool and that the dryer balls are made by Nepal Artisans; I thought that was a nice touch rather than just getting something from a random factory in China. Since they are nicely packaged, they would also be a great addition to a housewarming gift basket.
They are so cute you might look forward to doing laundry! I am glad I found these so I won't have to spend money on dryer sheets anymore!" —JKGetts

This kit includes woven bamboo steaming baskets, agar agar, a dough roller, spatula, and instructions.
Promising review: "My kids love soup dumplings but I don't know how to make them so I got this as a fun gift activity to do with them. It was AWESOME. The kit was really easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions. My kids had so much fun using the dough roller and it let us get the dumpling wrappers nice and thin. It was easy and, although it did take some time in the kitchen, it was fun. I would definitely do this again and I could see it also being a fun night with friends." —Nicole Fuentes

My own plant family came from this very kit! My husband became a big plant fan (in the middle of November) and we needed plants that were hearty enough to survive our below-average knowledge of houseplants. All three have held up beautifully! I think everyone should have this kit, whether you've had plants forever or would be starting off with these. BTW, if you get nervous, Rooted even has a first aid kit to keep them healthy and strong (we have used it...many times).
Rooted first started with an in-house-, well, in-apartment-style delivery system, where they would literally deliver plants by hand. Although it is still based in Brooklyn, it has since grown into a thriving small business that brings a little bit of lush plant life into homes all over.
Get it from Rooted for $30 (available in two light requirements).
