Promising review: "The piping detail, which you can't see at all in the pic, is really nice. It's mid-weight, not particularly scratchy, slightly cropped and has nice roominess under the arms in case you wanted to wear something under it. Would be good for spring and fall!" —Nats

Get them from Amazon for $12.97.
Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching and don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." —Michael Boyd
Get them from Amazon for $15.99.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this wallpaper! At a glance, it seems textured as if it is fabric. Very easy to stick on and peel off to reposition as necessary. It did not lose its adhesion in the process. Once it was on, it stuck in well. Our walls are kind of textured but they wasn’t a problem, it went on perfectly." —bookworm
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This salt gun is SO MUCH FUN! I hate flies so this is the perfect solution. It's like a Nerf gun but shoots salt instead. It's not too heavy to hold. However the pump is tough to pull back, which is perfect for an adult but difficult for kids. If you shoot yourself in the hands or arm, it stings a tiny bit but that's it. I Highly recommend it! Happy hunting!" —Q. Nguyen

Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this bracelet! It's so well made, the quality is amazing. It also has an adjustable draw string so it’s so easy to slip on and tighten. I’ll be ordering more bracelets in different colors — they make your wrist look so delicate!" —Delaney
Get it from INDV Apparel on Etsy for $24 (available in 21 colors).
Promising review: "Have you ever wanted to feel like Cinderella the moment the prince slipped on her shoe and it fit perfectly? Well then this foot helmet is for you. The moment I slid my toes into the gill of the right bass, a unicorn neighed, a dolphin smiled, and I finally believed it is in fact not butter. On a scale (literally) of 1–10, I give these majestic beauties an 11. The only suggestion I have is that they make a cleat and heeled version." —Rachel Eck
Get them from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes 4–12.5 and five colors).
I have purchased this dress twice. They're both in perfect condition, but I refuse to live my life in fear of something happening to one without having some backup. It's my favorite article of clothing I have ever worn. That's the honest truth.
Promising review: "The fabric is very soft and just heavy enough, kind of like microfiber. I'm about 5'9" and a little heavy and it hangs just right, tapering in slightly at the hem at a good length. It's a creative cut and print and quality work." —Tammy
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in sizes M–3XL).
Promising reviews: "I LOVE this vase! I like random, colorful decor and I’m so glad this popped up. It’s very sturdy and the colors are vibrant so you can tell it’s high quality. This vase only holds a small bouquet of flowers, it’s definitely more of a fun item than a practical one. I love how unique it is and it’d make a great gift, too!" —Drew A.
Get it from Amazon for $25.95.
Promising review: "These things are so awesome! HUGE hit with the kids. I can't wait to take some camping — the colors are gorgeous! We've been using them for about a month now. Teals, greens, and blues are visible toward the top parts of the flames, and in the innermost parts of the fire, you can see ultraviolet and deep pinks. Ordering two more right now and will be using these all summer!" —VWatson

When I first read business owner Brenda Kessler's Etsy bio I was delighted by her fun personality. As I read reviews of her products and customers' experiences working with her, I realized we ALL want to be her best friend! Her quality products and service prove that you get far more than you pay for when buying from this shop. Kessler runs her business from her farm in New Ross, Indiana.
Promising review: "This went BEYOND my expectations! It is so beautiful and the little tag with my beloved Lolly's name on the back is so sweet and the perfect touch. The whole process could not have been easier — the imprint kit came with super clear instructions, the 'clay' wasn't stiff at all and my dog was totally fine with it. There was even a little extra tape to make sure the *included* return package didn't pop open. I really appreciated being able to send a text with a picture to make sure my imprints were okay. Everything was so thoughtful, I am beyond satisfied!" —Siri Devta Kaur Khalsa
Get it from Brenda Kessler Designs on Etsy for $115+ (available in five sizes).
Owner Bruce Boone originally made bike parts in titanium. This caused him to make a titanium ring for himself, and then everyone else wanted one as well! The shop is located in Kennesaw, Georgia, and is full of one-of-a-kind pieces worth investing in. I know from experience...I bought one for my husband's birthday! I got the first-generation version and can't believe how often he finds ways to use it (the GIF above is him opening a package with his ring). I highly recommend getting this as a gift or for yourself!
Promising review: "Bruce is really an artist engineer. One has to personally handle his creations to understand the high-end engineering effort that goes into these functional pieces of artistic expression. This is my third titanium ring from Bruce and, I can tell you, his rings are unparalleled in their quality and workmanship, despite the difficulty of working with titanium. I have used the first generation Man Ring on my treks and found it to be very useful in cutting open thick MRE packs — I remember the look on my trek buddy's face when I showed him the Man Ring, and all of a sudden his six-layer SAK was no longer the coolest multitool around! And this is true for all of Bruce's rings — each one of a kind; each top of its class...I'm actually having a hard time deciding my next ring from his atelier!" —Calvin Thomas
Get it from Boone Rings on Etsy for $395+ (available in sizes 3.5–16 and with or without engraving).

Promising review: "This mug is so cute it is worth the hassle of handwashing! You will certainly get comments when you show up in the conference room with this! You will find out very quickly which of your friends and coworkers are fans of Criminal Minds. I LOVE this mug!" —Tracie

This bouquet includes five sticks of buffalo, five hot venison, five mild venison, and five sticks of elk...that's 20 ounces of meat altogether!
Promising review: "This was a Valentine’s Day gift for my husband. It arrived on time, nicely packaged. He really liked it. This is the perfect gift for a man or woman who appreciates thoughtfulness and practicality. The meat sticks are delicious and are not just beef but four gourmet game meats. I would recommend this gift." —Fan Girl
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
Moderniche Art is a small business in Los Angeles serving up some dang cute home decor! The shop has handmade trinket dishes, pottery, and prints. My birthday gift to myself this year was the full garden snake set (my home office is my "dark room" and these were an obvious necessity). The quality is spot-on and customer service was top-notch!
Promising review: "This little snake tea light holder is one of the best things I've ever purchased on Etsy! It is truly so adorable and very well made! It exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend buying from this seller!" —Leah Applebee

Promising review: "This is THE CUTEST handcrafted picnic table I have seen! I love the colors that I purchased — the brown color for the table and seats along with the white, which provides great contrast for the frame of the table. I choose the turquoise color for the picnic bucket. I gave this as a Fathers Day gift and my dad thought it was the coolest product — one that he's never seen before for squirrels. I can't wait to put it up on the fence and watch the squirrels eat from it! :) Great quality and such a cute idea!" —Megan
Get it from Pura Vida Creations on Etsy for $27.99+ (available in two styles and seven bucket colors).
Promising review: "Got exactly what I expected. Not a high-end, fancy fixture, but a nicely priced, fun lamp I could drop in a corner and add some lumens to my home office. Super easy to assemble. Came with extra bolts/washers/etc. and I LOVE that. Hate when a company fails to include the required hardware for assembly. Love that they included extra! I found that once assembled and positioned, I had to go back once to tighten everything. Not sure if that was because I was not aggressive enough the first time, but once I went over it again, works great — stays in place. Want something charming, unpretentious, and fun that lights up a section of room? I recommend you consider this floor lamp." —John R.
Get it from Amazon for $96.96+ (available in five colors).

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 destressing 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.

Promising review: "I originally bought this toilet paper to save trees, but it is high-quality TP! I use fewer sheets at a time as the paper is thick and I love soft ridges on one side. It is soft, thick, and cleans really well. Highly recommended and will continue to use!" —Ellen D.

I have a coffee table from this San Diego–based small biz and I LOVE it. I am an unapologetic maximalist — my apartment is chock-full of eye-catching decor that's all fighting to be the statement-making centerpiece of my home, but this coffee table is officially the winner. The table is completely leak free, and the draining valve keeps me from overwatering my furniture (a thing that is possible with this table, because the future is now). Be sure to check out the site's Instagram for inspiration!
Get it from BloomingTables for $379.
Promising review: "OK, folks, words of warning....if you have heart conditions, ration out your coffee. If you drink 24-oz Starbucks grande, you need an 8 oz of this as your FIRST cup. I'm serious; heed my warning or you could end up cleaning your entire house, doing all your yard work, making love to your partner, waxing your car, building a garage or single-handedly raising the Titanic on your own; all in the first hour after drinking this wonderful coffee. You have been warned!" —ITsTheXFactor
Get it from Amazon for $19.43+ (available in two styles).
Promising review: "Have you ever wanted to know what it was like to 'swim with the fishes' but you didn't want to be thrown over a boat with cement tied to your feet? Say no more, fam. This umbrella is super quirky and durable. I named all of the fish already. Jedediah is my fave." —Amoré Monét

FYI most of the products from this shop are made to order and thus, they take a little extra time to ship — keep that in mind when making your purchase!
FunCult is a woman-owned small business run by Caitlin Holcomb from Aurora, Illinois. My maximalist heart is oozing with adoration over all the banners available and the rest of their goods are just as delightful. Their Instagram is a ton of fun, and their logo is so great I want it...tattooed to my body.
Promising review: I am absolutely obsessed with my banner! It was such an amazing addition to my party. Everyone loved taking pictures in front of it. Thank you!!" —Elizabeth Stone
Get it from FunCult on Etsy for $40+ (available in three styles).
I'm such a sucker for weird/fun finds online. I impulse bought this the very first time I saw it and, ugh, I adore it. It is such an unnecessarily silly thing *and yet* it really has made for some fun, spruced up, sips. It has no taste, lasts forever (you need very little per cup), and it'll certainly brighten up a boring drink.
Promising review: "The glitter was excellent and made the beer shimmer just as expected. Everyone loved it and stared at it with wonder and delight. The glitter does coat the glass, making subsequent beers glittery. I recommend jiggling the keg a bit, so the glitter doesn’t settle. This is a great product. I will definitely buy again." —Jennifer Konecky
Get it from Amazon for $10.95 (available in 25 colors).
