Promising review: "I recently cut my hair short, and this works great! I never know how to style it, but this takes a couple of minutes, and I love how my hair ends up. You can do little crimps or big beach waves. All of my friends compliment me when I use it." —nicole polsinelli

4. A pigmented eyeshadow palette for creating bold, sunset-inspired looks.
Promising review: "I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY. Almost zero fallout, extremely pigmented colors, blends creamy like butter, and colors are beautiful. This rivals any of my Too Faced palettes.

Promising review: "If you like a bold, modern aesthetic in your cards, these are a must. Custom pips and royalty in a hexagonal cell motif are just dazzling against the black stock, and the gold ink on the matte tuck lends a nice near-future feel to the design. The cards themselves are pliable yet springy, and the handling is smooth as silk. Highly recommended for design/bee/Breaking Bad fans for play, magic, and cardistry." —Orochi

Promising review: "A perfect thickness (not too thick, not too thin) and quite soft, in between brushed cotton and jersey cotton minus the elasticity. The pillowcases have an elegant pocket closure giving them a tailored look. Washes/dries great, no weird shapeshifting (lies flat, maintains rectangular shape, seams line up), and I don't feel the need to iron (you could if you wanted an ultra-crisp look)." —lmgra

Promising review: "I bought these knives for my husband's birthday and he loved them! The knives are very sharp and durable, as well as look exactly as pictured. The colors are bright, and the pictures on them are very clear. The handles are great for good stability while using them. When I bought them, I was worried about the picture scraping off if they needed sharpening, but there is a space between the blade and the picture to prevent the picture from scraping off." —Tamara Jackson
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $49.95.
23. A 1000-piece puzzle for a relaxing activity the whole family can ~pigeon~ on. Plus, it'll make a delightful piece of wall art once completed.
