1. A scrumptious jar of granola butter — a spread boasting a nut butter-like texture that is free of the top eight allergens! It's also organic, vegan, and kosher and doesn't contain fillers, preservatives, or palm oil. Go ahead, spread it on everything or just eat it by the spoonful. You can't go wrong with either choice.
Oat Haus is the small biz that sells this delicious granola butter!!
Promising review: "This is my favorite granola butter on the planet! I can’t go a day without it. Due to allergies, I can’t eat most granola and nut butters but I’m able to eat this one with no issues. Not only that, it tastes absolutely AMAZING! The cookie dough has been my absolute favorite so far!!! I love that the chocolate chips are no longer in the cookie dough because I would not be able to eat the original due to the sugar in the chocolate chips. This is absolutely amazing and can go with so many different breakfast, desserts, yogurt, or just straight out of the jar. You name it! I have several friends who have children with peanut allergies and I tell them about this and so far all of them have left it as well. Thank you Ali and team for creating an incredible product that’s allergen free!" —Teaching is a Royal Adventure
Get it from Amazon: the strawberry shortcake for $12.95, the cookie dough for $12.95, and five other delicious flavors for $12.95 (including a variety pack).
2. A window plant shelf to serve not one but two excellent purposes: Not only will this provide a wonderful spot to show off your plant babes, but you can rest assured that they'll be getting ample sunlight thanks to the fact they're gonna be right by the window at all times. Brilliant!
Beautiful Views is a veteran-owned small biz based in Pickens, South Carolina that sells indoor window gardens and hanging plant shelves!
Promising reviews: "I ordered two shelves and they look fantastic in our sunroom windows. I love that they both provide a bit of privacy screening and, because of the acrylic shelves, allow a lot of light into the room." —Jan Fransen
"I am absolutely OBSESSED with these shelves. I now have two of the 3-shelf no trim mount block shelves and am likely to order more in the future. They look exactly the same in person as they do on the website, are super easy to install (and the instructions are VERY clear and simple), are sturdy/hold a fair amount of weight, and the customer service is fantastic. I just can't say enough about this product and this company." —Kaleigh Schaal
Get it from Beautiful Views on Etsy for $66.60+ (available in three sizes and three mounting options).
3. And as long as we're talking about plants, a moisture meter so it's super simple to tell when your flora bbs (both indoors and outdoors) are in need of a drink!
Promising review: "Who knew that one needs an accurate way to measure soil moisture levels? I saw a gardening expert using one of these, and it clicked. Earlier this summer I asked a friend why so many plants die so easily, and she said the number one problem is over-watering. Well, no more. I've only had this for a month, but my plants are looking perky and happy. So far this appears to be accurate, and I now feel more confident investing in more houseplants. Very easy to use, and no special care required." —empower7
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in three colors).
4. A pair of horizontal glasses to make watching TV, WFH, reading a book, or simply scrolling TikTok and laying down at the same time a neck strain–free experience. These are also especially helpful for anyone who might be on bed rest for medical conditions and could use a simpler way to enjoy their favorite forms of entertainment.
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 but 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 $12.88.
5. Lock Laces — a super smart invention that'll turn your laced-up shoes into slip-ons because being interrupted mid-run by your shoe laces coming undone and trying to trip you is SUCH a vibe killer...not to mention, also a major safety hazard.
Promising review: "Purchased two pairs for my running shoes. They work very well, and I have put a bunch of miles on them. No more tying/untying, just slip on. I like how they keep unified tension across the entire laces from top to bottom. I have had no issues with the lace lock at all, it snapped in well." —Scott
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).
6. A makeup brush color removal sponge because the last time you did your makeup was Saturday night before going out with your friends and you used the most gorgine shimmery charcoal shadow for your smoky eye. But now it's Monday morning and you wanna wear a lighter, more subtle shadow color to your office and only have so much time to get ready. Just swipe your brush a few times over the sponge, and voila! Good as new and no water required!
Promising review: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
7. A unique citrus squeezer in the form of a cute bird that'll make getting the juice out of lemons, limes, and oranges for your favorite recipes and cocktails simple and just plain adorable!
Promising review: "This little utensil is adorable and quite practical. When I saw it on TikTok I knew I had to have one. You simply put a slice of lemon in and pour out the juice. It looks so pretty sitting on the table and comes in very handy." —Dian Marchese
Get it from Amazon for $5.39.
8. An incredible cookbook for the Trader Joe's-obsessed. It's filled with a bunch of great recipes with ingredients you can of course find on your next TJ's run. It doesn't get better than this.
Promising review: "For Trader Joe's lovers everywhere, this is a fantastic cookbook! It is filled with hints and tips, shopping guidelines, nicely organized recipe categories, and beautiful mouthwatering pictures. I love how the recipes are noted if they are gluten-free or vegetarian, etc. I ❤ Trader Joe's and I ❤ this cookbook!" —Love My Bookish Life
Get it from Amazon for $11.99/Kindle or $13.49/paperback.
9. A pack of hair-drying scrunchies because sometimes there's just no time to towel or blow-dry your hair between showering and having to head out the door. Just tie your hair up with one of these babies and let it do the work for you. Psst — these are also great for bringing to the pool or beach.
Kitsch is a woman-owned biz based in LA that sells hair products!
Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." —Meghan
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in seven colors and designs).
10. A rain cloud aromatherapy diffuser that's gonna look SO lovely sitting on whichever surface you place it on, make the room smell so yummy as it diffuses your favorite essential oils, and, thanks to the rain effect, produce such a calming water droplet sound.
Promising review: "I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days even with it running daily. It’s a solid 12/10 from me." —Violet
Get it from Amazon for $56.98.
11. A set of Matryoshka doll-inspired measuring cups because not only will this genius design make for a super cool and unique addition to your kitchen, but thanks to the fact they easily nest together (just like the dolls do), they won't take up too much space — perfect for those with limited storage!
This set comes with 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup, and 1 cup measurements.
Promising review: "I adore unique items for home and kitchen, especially when they are cute and save space at the same time! These matryoshka measuring cups are wonderful. I always keep them nested on my counter top next to my flour/sugar canisters. They work very well, are well made, easy to clean, and unlike many cheap measuring cups where the measurement starts to come off after many uses/washes, there is nothing printed on these. It's all etched into the plastic and they are all white. I've gotten lots of comments on them. Great gift for a baker!" —Kelly
Get a set of six measuring cups from Amazon for $10.99.
12. Or a very cool measuring cube that'll let you measure out both wet AND dry ingredients — no need to take out various cups and spoons and cram them all back into a drawer again after you've finished meal prep. Gotta love a multifunctional tool!
KitchenCube is a small based in Minneapolis that sells this genius measuring cube!
Promising review: "First of all I gotta say, I don’t cook much, and if there’s something I hate after cooking it's having to wash a bunch of utensils once I use them. This cube has been amazing; I don’t have to wash a million utensils over and over, it’s very easy to use, easy to clean, and it’s very handy to use when I’m meal prepping for the week. I bought this out of curiosity and ended up enjoying it a lot. If a regular guy like me is enjoying it, I’m sure it would be a great tool for people who cook or bake on a regular basis." —Daniel Matajira
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
13. A super awesome book vase any avid reader is sure to get a kick out of. Why not use this to spruce up your bookshelf with a pop of fresh (or faux, whichever you prefer) flowers?!
14. A comfy inflatable lounge chair that's super lightweight — now you'll have the perfect spot to sit and read a book/soak up some rays without having to carry bulky, heavy chairs.
BuzzFeed contributing writer Bek O'Connell swears by this lounge chair. Here's what she has to say about it:
"This is one of those products where I see the commercial and I'm like, 'YEAH RIGHT!' These inflatable chairs just seem too easy. You just spin in a circle with them and suddenly you have a magically inflated chair? Seems unlikely. But now that I've tried them, I can confirm that they're (almost) that easy. It does take a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but pretty much anyone can figure it out in 5 to 10 minutes. Basically, it comes with two compartments that you need to fill with air by twirling in a tight circle. You switch compartments while spinning and then quickly roll the it up before the air escapes. Once you master the technique, you're in squishy, inflatable heaven."
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in two colors).
15. A bottle of truffle honey you're gonna wanna put on literally every single thing you eat from the second it arrives on your doorstep. Sweet honey mixed with the heavenly flavor of truffles?! This was invented by someone with a galaxy brain.
16. A color-changing nail polish that reacts to temperature changes (for example: the shade shown below is purple when it's cold and light blue when it's warm). You're never gonna want to wear "normal" polish ever again.
Cirque Colors is a small biz that sells nail polish and accessories!
Promising review: "My favorite nail polish. I was iffy when I first put it on, it seemed an awkward consistency for nail polish...but I was happily surprised. It is matte and dries super fast and after two coats and 10 minutes they were done. I was going to put topcoat over them for a glossier finish, but I ultimately just left them matte. It goes on and dries beautifully, it changes to purple in cold temperatures, and it DOES NOT CHIP OR PEEL like many thermal nail polishes. I washed dishes, gardened, cleaned, and even without topcoat my nails still look perfect. I will definitely be buying more, they're worth the price." —Samantha Martin
Get it from Amazon for $16.50 (available in eight colors).
17. A double-sided cooling blanket for snuggling up with a cozy blanket at night without overheating. Phew!
Promising review: "My daughter found this on TikTok. She knew I was looking for something like this so I gave it a go. It actually works. The material is a bit weird and it takes some getting used to — just because it is NOT a blanket — but it works. The current temp here in Texas has been and will be 100+ with humidity probably forever. This will definitely help keep you cool at night. I assume alien technology at this point but eh, I'll take it." —Tehru
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors and four sizes).
18. An Authentic Books subscription that'll allow you to pick from a few different reads each month and then receive a box filled with the book of choice and fun goodies based on that book to enhance your reading experience.
Founded by Natisha Asbell and her husband, Wes, Authentic Books is a Black-woman and family-owned small biz offering book subscriptions that focus on providing customers with an experience and immersing them in the world of the book they choose through taste, smell, touch, and sound. All of the items in the box are sourced from local businesses and 5% of your membership fee goes towards charity — charity picks change every three months, but past organizations include the Malala Fund and Adopt-A-Classroom.
Get it from Authentic Books starting at $42/month (available in three size options).
19. A hydrating eye stick because it may help reduce dark circles and puffiness — but let's be real, you're mostly gonna want to buy this for the satisfying cooling sensation it'll give your skin and the v cute polar bear.
Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
20. A Lizzie McGuire-inspired color-changing glass so cool, you should definitely go ahead and hit add to cart right this second.
PS Eye Craft is a small biz based in East Brunswick, New Jersey that sells super cool pop culture-inspired glasses.
Promising review: "Love it! So cute!! I saw it on my TikTok page and whipped out my wallet. 😂" —Chantal Martinez
Get it from PS Eye Craft on Etsy for $26.
21. A genius quick-drying mesh bath toy holder for scooping up your kiddo's toys with ease and hanging the basket up on the included mounting disc.
Promising review: "We’ve had this for about three months and the suction is great. We haven’t had it fall even with kids who tug and yank on it to get their toys out. It also makes bath time cleanup so much easier, and I love how it air dries the toys without much work on my part." —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $12.97.
22. A universal remote attachment because having to use more than one remote to operate a single television is SILLY! What's the point of living in a high-tech world if you need one remote to turn on the TV, another remote to change the volume, and yet another to switch between streaming apps and cable?!
Promising review: "Before: three remotes, one for the screen (on/off), a separate one for the sound system (volume) and of course the Fire Stick remote. After: just the one convenient integrated unit. No more scrambling to find the which remote to do what I want, cause it's all right there in the one unit. I wish I'd have bought one years ago cause the multi-remote tango got old real fast." —Chapman Baetzel
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
23. An adorable little fish that happens to be a very easy and effective humidifier tank cleaner because you can't get the most out of your device if it's contaminated with slime and bacteria.
The brand says the fish will continuously clean for about 30 days so it's recommended to change it every month!
Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew- and mold-free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine
Get it from Amazon for $5.28.
24. A set of food pouch toppers/covers so your little one can bask in the satisfaction of getting to hold their snack, and you can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing they won't make a mess thanks to the flow-control valve!
Promising review: "My son refuses to let anyone feed him and insists on doing it himself. I could never give him a pouch because he would squeeze it all over the place until I found these. No mess and he loves that he gets to do it himself. 10/10 recommend!" —Christopher Sele
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five color combinations).
25. An abstract shower curtain to bring a welcome element of fun to your bathroom.
Promising review: "Cute shower curtain to mix up the bathroom. The print is very cute and goes well with the light pink tiles in my bathroom. The print is very accurate to the picture, colors are just as vibrant, and the picture is clear. It is as good of a shower curtain as any; not particularly nice but it's not see-through and it dries quickly when it gets wet." —Nicole Adler
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes).
26. A drink holder perfect for carrying around yummy cold drinks like boba tea, cold brew, iced tea, matcha lattes, and any other chilled beverage. It'll keep your hands free from holding an icy cold cup; plus it looks cute.
VIS Paradise Goods is a small biz that sells personalized gifts and reusable products!
Promising review: "Sooo cute! I’ve been looking for one of these but didn’t want a cheapy one that would tip over. The strap is a great length and the purple is so pretty!" —sweettriviashop
Get it from VIS Paradise Goods on Etsy for $15.55+ (available in various styles and five colors).
27. A toilet cleaning brush because not only will it make scrubbing your porcelain throne feel more exciting (I mean, hello, a cleaning product shaped like a FRUIT!) but it's gonna look so cute in your bathroom.
Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly!! Fits nicely into my bathroom decor. It was delivered in perfect condition and I've used it three times now. If you're thinking about buying this...do it!" —Michelle Maroon
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
28. A two-sided cup for all of my fellow beverage lovers out there — you know you need one drink for hydration and one drink for fun and now you can do just that on the go.
Promising review: "I always end up having a minimum of two drinks with me at all times, and this is a great way to have my water and iced coffee in one easy to transport cup. I wish the mouthpieces were a little easier to clean, but otherwise this cup is great. Could maybe even be used for a drink/chaser!" —Lexi
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
29. A bag of Rob's Popcorn — a perfect mix of sweet and salty popcorn that just so happens to be endorsed by the JONAS BROTHERS. (Bonus if you're a fan of the band!) I promise this popcorn is so worth treating yourself to.
There are two things that I really love: popcorn and the Jonas Brothers. So when I got the chance to try out Rob's Popcorn, I was super excited. It is SO good. According to the ingredient list, it contains olive oil, sugar, salt, onion and garlic powder, red bell pepper, and carrot, but I think they also sprinkled in some sort of magic fairy dust because it's basically impossible to not eat an entire bag in one sitting. It's the perfect mix of sweet and savory (perfect for anyone who is incredibly indecisive like me) and if you're also a Jonas Brothers fan, you're gonna want to try this ASAP. Not to mention, it's GMO- and gluten-free AND vegan!
PLUS, they've recently teamed up with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Kelly Clarkson to add two new exciting flavors to the line: Priyanka's Mumbai Nights and Kelly's Classic BBQ! 😋
Get it from Walmart for $3.98.
You can also get a pack of four from the Rob's Popcorn website for $23.99.
