    26 Things To Treat Yourself To On Amazon Because Your Friends And Family Aren't Mind Readers

    From things to help you relax, to yummy kitchen goodies, to fun books — time to gift yourself all the things you friends/family didn't think to get you.

    1. A 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle that contains 50 Easter eggs and features a fun magic trick at the end — this is the coolest puzzle ever.

    Promising review: "Just got this puzzle for something to do at home over the holidays. Seriously...I have never seen a puzzle quite like this! It’s very impressive and exceeded my expectations already. The packaging is beautiful inside and out. Everything about it shouts quality. I particularly liked the envelopes inside for the puzzle pieces and mystery. Heavy weight and substantial. The one holding the 1,000 puzzle pieces stays closed with Velcro! How cool! And the secret mystery envelope has a cool string loop tie. Makes you remember you can’t open it until the puzzle is done. The whole vibe of The Mystic Maze is quality and fun, and also looks like a challenging puzzle. Looking forward to getting started on this. Certainly a good stay-home fun activity. Highly recommend!" —Kyle Fletcher

    Price: $19.99

    2. Who Do the Stars Say You Are? — a book to help guide you through and better understand your sun sign in the most fun way! From unpacking the basics like your strengths and weaknesses and compatibility to the important stuff like which ice cream flavor is actually your favorite to your perfect TV show (helpful if you're contemplating your next binge-watch), and so much more!

    This book is written by BuzzFeed's very own Syd Robinson

    Promising review: "We love this author and are big fans of her pet-focused work with BuzzFeed, so we had to check out this book! It’s so fun and very well written! If you’re into astrology, this is an awesome read!!" —Amber

    Price: $9.99/Kindle and $13.49/hardcover

    3. A pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds that are waterproof, come with multiple silicone earbuds so you can find your perfect size, and happen to be just as good as more expensive headphones on the market at a fraction of the cost (*cough AirPods cough*).

    Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold

    Price: $22.99+ (available in five colors)

    4. A set of bath bombs so you can unwind in the best possible way — with a super relaxing bath, of course!

    Promising review: "Bought these for my girlfriend and she said they are BETTER then Lush's bath bombs. We used one together and they smell great, leave your skin smooth, and most do not contain glitter. These bombs are a little bit smaller than Lush bombs but there was no difference in terms of color, scent, or skin softening. You could put Lush on this box and not even recognize a difference. These are quality bombs, if you are looking for a gift for someone or looking to use bath bombs yourself, buy these, you will not regret it." —Amazon Customer

    Price: $26.80 for a set of 12

    5. And if getting in the tub is not your thing, these steamers are like bath bombs but for your...you guessed it...shower! 

    Promising review: "I kept seeing this product pop up on TikTok so I decided to buy a pack and I'm SO GLAD I DID! These smell so good and are a perfect way to relax while in the shower. I now recommend them to everyone I know!" —Merry

    Price: $23.98 for a pack of 12 (available in four varieties)

    6. A wine aerator you simply pop into the bottle of your favorite vino. It'll help make your next glass taste better just by simply pouring it.

    I bought this for my mom as part of a Mother's Day gift a few years back, and I'll be honest, I've gotten a lot more use out of it. It's so easy to use, I didn't even have to glance at the instructions, and, I mean, come on, when you're in the mood to kick back and sip a glass of Pinot at the end of a long day, who feels like reading a manual? Not I! You literally just twist the pourer onto the decanter, stick the decanter spout into the bottle, and then pour into your glass. It's cool because you can literally see the bubbles forming at the top from it being aerated. I did a taste test to see if I could actually tell the difference or if this was just a phony claim...and it works. It really, actually works. It uses an air intake system to ensure an optimal amount of oxygen!

    Promising review: "Purchased this as a gift for my mom. She opened it yesterday and we used it to aerate our wine for the rest of the day. Easy to use, and the wine tasted fantastic! We did a little taste test with nonaerated wine straight from the bottle versus wine from the same bottle poured through this aerator and there was a noticeable difference. Can't beat it for the price." —Amazon Customer

    Price: $16.99

    7. A deck of affirmation cards that are a wonderful combination of funny, inspiring, and aesthetically pleasing to look at.

    Promising review: "These are silly and fun affirmations! I love that my older kids can enjoy them, but I think they would be also great for college kids and young adults who are looking for a little pick-me-up in a fun way!" —CO book lover!

    Price: $14.84 for a pack of 50

    8. A lovely set of flower hair claw clips for the prettiest and cutest way to keep your locks away from your face.

    Promising review: "These are so different, and I get a lot of compliments. People keep asking me where I got them. I use it wherever and it holds my thick hair with no problem." —Bellap

    Price: $9.88+ for a set of six (available in six color combinations)

    9. A paint by numbers kit even novice artists will get a kick out of — especially as we near hibernation szn.

    Promising review: "This was a great pandemic purchase. I was able to pass many hours painting and at the end of it, I had pretty wall art! I was even able to easily fit them in my large suitcase when I moved abroad so I had more wall art to take with me and remember some good times." —H

    Price: $11.79+ (available in six options)

    10. Truff pasta sauce — a delicious fusion of fresh tomato goodness, rich truffle flavor, and *just* the right amount of heat to give your next pasta night the upgrade you deserve.

    Amazon

    I'm a huge fan of Truff products — their hot sauces, spicy mayo, and olive oil are truly top-tier as a truffle fan. I was super excited when they sent me this pasta sauce to try a few months ago because you can't go wrong with truffle pasta. This stuff is SO GOOD. I love spicy food so I really enjoyed the arrabbiata. It had a perfect kick without being overly spicy — although I have a high spice tolerance so I can't say if that'll be the case for every palate. Not to fret if you don't like spice, because the pomodoro is equally delicious without any spice — just pure tomato/truffle deliciousness. These are such a yummy way to shake up the usual pasta in red sauce — 10/10 recommend!!!

    Promising review: "Delicious! Don’t think about it, just order it, you’ll thank yourself later." —Ari

    Price: $29.99 (available in three pack options)

    11. knit beanie so great at keeping heads warm, buying this will be the easiest decision.

    Promising review: "I order one for myself every year. They also make great presents because they’re just so iconic. Everybody can wear them. Good value for a well-made product." —Sean Honsinger

    Price: $19.99 (available in 34 colors)

    12. The Book of Unusual Knowledge if you're someone who loves learning tons of random facts, telling your loved ones about all the cool tidbits stored in your brain, or excitedly parking yourself in front of the TV every night to watch Jeopardy!

    Promising review: "My best friend is always telling me new facts about the most random things so when I saw this, I knew it had to be added to his bookshelf. And let me tell you the list of random facts keeps on coming. Yeah, yeah, I know...the internet...but sometimes it’s nice to disconnect from technology and read a real book. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase." —Gregory

    Price: $12.83

    13. A trio of window planters that'll make a wonderful piece of decor in your living space. AND since it'll be near the window, you'll have peace of mind your new plant babes are receiving ample sunlight.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This assembled in a jiffy and looks great in my window. So glad I chose it for the future home of my herb garden. The pots are a good size and the cord looks sturdy and is generously sized (you can just wrap around the bar a few times to shorten). Note that there are no holes in the pots, if you're looking for drainage. But of course, that's why baby Jesus made power tools." —Cautionary Tales

    Price: $37.50+ (available in five colors and two sizes)

    14. Lightsaber chopsticks for ensuring the force is really with you with every dumpling or piece of sushi you take.

    Promising review: "Was so stoked to get these and they’re amazing! Both sets came with pull tabs in them so my batteries are fresh and ready for Chinese nights! Overall they’re very nice." —Becca boop

    Price: two pairs for $14.97

    15. A pair of retro-style sunnies that'll have you channeling your inner rockstar 24/7. Just be prepared because everyone who sees you in these is gonna wanna know where they can get a pair for themselves.

    Promising review: "I had originally seen these glasses on TikTok and was very eager to buy them. Let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. They are very sturdy, fashionable, and look like a high-end pair of glasses." —Alejandra Larios

    Price: $11.95+ (available in 17 colors and packs of two)

    16. A book of crossword puzzles — it starts out easy and gets tougher as you make your way through the book. By the end, you're sure to become a crossword pro!

    Promising review: "This puzzle book is perfect. I took it on a plane and was able to complete multiple puzzles before we landed. I am not Einstein, but it wasn't too hard or too easy. I would def buy another one." —Whenpigsflyaway

    Price: $9.99

    17. An ice roller that may help relieve pain associated with migraines, TMJ, inflammation, and sinus infections — just to name a few. If nothing else, this will certainly feel super nice on your face.

    Promising review: "I was skeptical about this product. I wasn't sure how it was much different than rolling any other frozen thing on your body. I'm beyond pleasantly surprised. I've used it for sinus pain, migraines, swollen neck glands, under-eye circles/bags, inflamed acne, TMJ pain, etc. Not to mention, when I used it on my face, it leaves my skin feeling tight and wakes me up in the mornings. It also stays cold for forever but never sweats or leaves water behind. It's like magic. I also bought one for my mom who suffers from nerve damage in her arms and legs. I think it'll really help when she has bad pain days." —Jessica McRee

    Price: $18.99+ (available in nine colors)

    18. A pair of fuzzy cross-band slippers you'll never wanna take off and we can't say we blame you. Just look at how comfy these babies look.

    slippers in gray, cream, tan, and pink

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Love these slippers! Not only are they cute but they are super comfortable. With regular, fully enclosed slippers, my feet have always tended to get too hot. With these slippers, I never have that problem, because having part of my foot out tends to help with temperature regulation of my feet. If you have similar issues, I highly recommend these slippers!" —Drakesta

    Price: $22.99+ (available in 10 colors and women's sizes 5/6–9/10)

    19. A heated mouse pad so cold fingers don't come in between you and the important work you have to do. Even if that important work is an online shopping spree (which is VERY important!) 

    The pink adjustable hand warmer
    Amazon

    Promising review: "Wow this has really changed my quality of life in the office! My building is always freezing. This helps keeps my hands warm while sitting at the computer. Also very soft and lots of room to move my mouse inside. The only thing there is a little weird smell to it but kinda subsides after use. Still a great purchase in my mind though." —kelly

    Price: $22.99 

    20. set of earrings featuring six pairs of gorg hoops you best believe will make you shimmer when you walk in the room. ("Bejeweled" stans assemble!)

    Amazon

    Promising review: "What I love most about these earrings is that they come in various sizes. They’re all different and unique. I use two pairs usually for my seconds and triples. They’re lightweight and come with extra back pieces in case you lose any." —Maggi Eighmy

    Price: $16.99+ (available in two colors)

    21. Burn After Writing, a journal filled with prompts and thought-provoking questions to help you spend more time self-reflecting and less time overthinking silly nonsense. When finished, you can hide it, throw it away, or better...burn it. 

    Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

    Price: $7/paperback or $18.99/sprial-bound

    22. Mike's Hot Honey, a delicious spicy/sweet condiment that'll quickly become your new favorite thing in your pantry. It's delicious on spicy foods, savory foods, sweet foods, heck, you may even be tempted to hold it over your mouth and just eat it directly from the bottle. You do you.

    Promising review: "I was a skeptic, but now I AM a believer. This mixed up honey is absolutely fabulous. I ordered three bottles more after my initial order. Why? Because it is really good on everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Soft pretzels, toast, biscuits, waffles, cereal, yogurt, ice cream, and definitely pizza. Gives everything in your kitchen a small kick of sweet heat flavor without burning your mouth. I have told many of my friends about this magical elixir and they all agree — this is the BEST specialty honey any of us have ever had. Don’t hesitate to buy it. It is absolutely wonderful stuff. I most HIGHLY recommended!" —Jeff R. Clow

    Promising review: "I’ve NEVER wanted a waffle maker. This has changed my life. I always buy the frozen waffles and put them in the toaster oven and was Happy with this. Then I randomly bought this and it is amazing!!!!!! The waffles are the same size as the frozen waffles and easy to make with a mix. It heats quickly, cooks evenly, and is easy to wipe down. Plus it’s tiny so it stores well. Quick tip: spray it down with Pam or something similar just in case. Also, BUY IT!" —rooks1101

    Price: $9.99+ (available in 23 designs)

    All the parts are dishwasher-safe!

    Promising reviews: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

    "It is a true marvel of science, magically producing perfect frozen yogurt from fruit. Yes that's right, magic. It blew my mind how similar it is to real ice cream. If you had placed a bowl in front of me, I dare say I would not recognize its true composition of pure fruit." —Tosh

    Price: $39.32

    26. A wireless karaoke mic so you can bring a fun sing-along on the go. Just like Kesha, the party don't start til you and this karaoke mic walk in. 

    Checkout our write-up of this super fun karaoke mic!

    Promising review: "Oh my gosh, I love this! I got mine in the mail yesterday and ended up playing with it for about five hours last night LOL. It connects via Bluetooth so you can connect it to your phone — the music and your singing comes out of the microphone's speaker. It has a volume control for your voice and for the music and also an echo feature. You can put an SD card into the bottom of it and record yourself, or connect it with an audio out to record on one of those karaoke apps on your phone. Between this and being able to find just about any song on karaoke via YouTube, you could easily have your own karaoke parties at home!" —Ferretocious
