"I recently bought these shorts because I'm in love with the similar ones you can get at Old Navy, but they sell out so fast. Turns out I love these even more! I love the huge range of colors you can buy these in (at other places they often sell out too quickly to get to pick!), love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys or face mask. I only have them in purple so far, but I'm excited to try other colors!"

Promising review: "I was looking for Mexican candy to share at the office with the staff but wanted a good variety, not just one brand. This mixed bag was awesome.

5. A disco ball bar cart because what could possibly be a bigger flex than offering your guests a margarita and then sashaying your way over to this BEAUTIFUL and unique piece to grab a bottle of tequila?! Nothing, that's what.
Glam Globes is a small biz based in the UK that sells super cute disco ball home decor pieces!
My colleague Maitland Quitmeyer owns this awesome bar cart and loves it! Here's what she has to say about it:
"This is the best product I bought this year, actually! It's from a small biz based in the UK and while it did take a while to arrive (as I expected), it was *well* worth the wait. The light bouncing off the mirror fragments and onto my walls is just dang beautiful. Between the bottom tray and the space inside the globe (yes, the globe OPENS UP!), there's a nice amount of storage for bottles and glassware. And unlike regular bar carts, the things you keep inside the globe will actually stay dust free. I bought the 'champagne' color (which is a nice neutral cream-beige) but it comes in tons of colors that'll go perfectly with your home decor."
Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $259.49 (available in seven colors on the brand's website).

Promising review: "This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches, like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it — it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope. Every day my whole living room becomes a party :) Cannot recommend enough." —Phil
Get it from Amazon for $29.97.

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok like everyone else but I quickly realized, when I got one how helpful this is to my family. Now they don't have to guess when they shouldn't bother me, they'll just KNOW. It's saving lives and it's adorable. The perfect thing. :)" —MCalmes
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 40 styles).

Gifts By Ells is a small biz based in Whiteley, United Kingdom and sells pop culture-inspired air fresheners, mugs, coasters, and mousepads.
To say I am a Harry Styles fan would be a severe understatement. Have I seen him 10 times in the past two years? You bet I have. When I saw this air freshener on Etsy, I knew I had to buy it. I didn't even care if it would smell good or not, I just needed a beautiful illustration of Harry Styles to decorate my car. This is probably one of my favorite little purchases I've ever made for myself. For starters, it's always a talking point whenever I have friends in the car — even people who aren't fans of Harry think it's great. Plus, it really does smell so good. I got the sandalwood vanilla scent and I highly recommend it. Since ordering the one in the picture above, I ordered a second one from the same shop, and I think I'm ready to purchase a third soon — I kinda wanna own all of them, that's how much I love these air fresheners (and Harry, obvs).
Get it from Gifts By Ells on Etsy for $6 (available in various scents).
15. A scrumptious jar of granola butter — a spread boasting a nut butter-like texture but 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 four other delicious flavors for $12.95+ (including a variety pack).

Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in 11 colors).
17. A pair of slide sandals that'll make you feel like you're walking on clouds. The question isn't whether you should buy these or not, the question is which colors you should buy them in. Answer: all of them.
Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase I’ve made! I have spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis, so I get horrible back, leg, and foot pains. This literally helps relieve my pain while I’m working standing on my feet. They are super cute. I get tons of compliments on them, and they are breathable, lightweight, and easy to keep clean. Perfect for Hawaii weather! 💁🏽♀️ There are other brands that look like this but don’t be fooled — THIS is the brand that is the most comfortable. I have other brands and they don’t cut it!" —Chelsea Proenza
Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 30 colors).
18. 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 super cool.
VIS Paradise Goods is a small biz that sells personalized gifts and reusable products!

Get it from VIS Paradise Goods on Etsy for $13.99+ (available in various styles and five colors).
19. 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
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors and multi-packs).
20. A floral wall mural to help liven up your walls in the prettiest way possible. You have a fun-loving personality, and damnit, it's time your walls reflect it!
Promising review: "Absolutely stunning and everything I wanted, looks way better and more vivid IRL, I almost didn't buy this because the colors look so dull and old school in the pics and I wanted more a modern glam look, but this was perfect. Took two of us to install and three-ish hours with breaks. Took the advice of previous reviewers and bought premixed paste from The Home Depot. Definitely don't go easy on the paste, you need enough on the wall to make it easier to adjust and align. Don't worry too much about the bubbles, once it dries down it all adheres nicely. My guess is the bubbles are excess paste. The quality of this paper is thick and not sheer at all. However I do think it will look nicer if theres a lighter color under it to begin with. For the price this is definitely worth it and then some. I would have paid much more for this had I seen it in person. You won't regret it: )" —Almond Joy
Get it from Amazon for $70.85.
21. A soft-serve maker that'll allow you to transform frozen fruit into a refreshing sweet treat.
All the parts are dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $33.80+ (available in six colors).
22. A gorgeous puff sleeve dress to twirl around in all spring long. Hey now, hey now, this dress is what dreams are made of.
23. A time marked water bottle because you have a hectic schedule, and sometimes, hydration isn't top of mind! But!!! It's important, so let this pretty bottle help remind you throughout the day!
Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and thought it would be a great bottle for work. It is very sleek and lightweight enough to carry when you have other items in your hand. I love the modern look and cleans very easily! The time increments really do motivate, definitely ordering again for myself and gifts. Fast delivery and very nice packaging." —Rosa
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
24. A set of ~groovy~ nail stickers for embellishing a DIY manicure with smiley faces, rainbows, flowers, and peace signs.
Deco Miami is a small biz based in New York and sells a ridiculously fun assortment of themed nail stickers. P.S. — if you're a Taylor Swift fan like me, then the disco balls in this particular sticker pack are the perfect way to channel your inner mirrorball.
Promising review: "Did I buy these for the mirrorballs? Absolutely, but I fell in love with the rest of the designs, too! These stickers are incredible quality!" —Marianna
Get them from Deco Miami on Etsy for $10.
25. An innovative speaker that'll let you create your very own pixel art and then you can watch as your creation comes to life by dancing along while your favorite songs play.
Promising review: "Sound quality and durability is very good! I like the ability to change the artwork on the cover, the ability to change the brightness of the image, the ability to change the volume of the startup/connect/disconnect, the auto-shutoff and auto-sleep mode toggles, and the ability to set multiple alarms (available on the app only, sadly, not out of the box). There's surprisingly a lot you can do with such a seemingly simple device, and it's made more than a great replacement alarm clock for me, which is initially what I bought it for. Highly recommend if you've got the extra coin to spend on something cute, fun, and practical!" —Soul Breaker
Get it from Amazon for $84.92 (get this price by clipping the 15% off coupon on the product page; available in six colors).
26. A foldable mushroom funnel because transferring liquids or dry ingredients between bottles and containers deserves to be an ~aesthetic~ moment.
To use it, just flip it inside out and stick the "stem" through your container's opening. Plus, it's dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It’s beyond cute and really great quality. I’m always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don’t want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can’t get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" —Abbey Klem
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
27. A ball pit designed for kiddos, but, yes, it is also perfectly suited for pets. Treating your pet is the equivalent of treating yourself because watching them have fun and be happy is just THE BEST!
Minnidip is a small biz that sells designer inflatables for adults and kids (or pets)!
My colleague Mal Mower owns this ball pit and her cats love it! Here's what she has to say:
"Obviously this precious ball pit is intended for actual HUMAN children, but my millennial pet parent heart couldn't help but get this for my house! I hide my cats' favorite treats in the bottom and they will dig around for ages trying to find them all. It's not designed to withstand pet nails, but it's held up really well. I can't rave about it enough!"
Get it from Minnidip for $199 (available with seven different colors of balls).
28. A set of colorful silicone kitchen utensils that'll make prepping all of your favorite springtime meals and treats so much more exciting. Looking at you, rainbow balloon whisk ready to mix up egg whites and sugar for meringue.

Promising review: "Great quality!! I’ve been using them for a few months now and they are great! They clean up well with no spots and feel pretty sturdy while using for thick, heavy foods. I also use some for sautéing and have had no heat issues or melting. I would definitely buy these again, but at this rate I won’t need to!" —Mizz87
Get a nine-piece set from Amazon for $13.97.
29. A cactus coaster set because the return of icy cold drinks 24/7 szn is upon us, and that shouldn't equal the return of unsightly rings being left behind on your surfaces. With this set, you'll get coasters for you and your loved ones/guests to utilize, and when they're not being used, you can assemble them back into a super cool decorative piece!
This comes with a set of six coasters.
Promising review: "I ended up getting this for myself and then as a gift for a friend! It is super cute and can act as a nice addition to the coffee table without looking gimmicky or tacky. Most of my guests don't realize it's a coaster until I tell them they can take it apart from the cactus. I love it and highly recommend!" —Sasha TS.
