54 Little Gifts To Treat Yourself To If It Hasn’t Been Your Day, Your Week, Your Month, Or Even Your Year

“I’ll be there for you” —the FRIENDS theme song and the mason jar cold brew maker in this post.

1. A satin pillow case, which are said to be great for keeping your skin and hair in tip-top shape — not to mention it’ll feel silky smooth against your cheeks when you hit the hay.

Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. 

Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch satin pillowcase in action. 

Promising review: “I’m really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I’ve been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it’s been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn’t tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I’m excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much more prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖” —Amazon Customer 🌷

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and in 11 styles). 

2. A scented cuticle oil infused with real flowers for anyone who wants to hydrate, moisturize, and strengthen their cuticles while also literally embracing the “florals for spring” vibe.

Blossom is a small business!

Promising review: “Absolutely love this cuticle oil. I operate heavy machinery for a living, and even wearing gloves all the time my hands, especially cuticles, dry out and crack and hurt. This oil only takes a little to go a long way. I got the 🍍 and it smells great. Most importantly I have noticed a change in just a few short days. I first found out about the product because my nail salon uses it for every mani!” —Alicia S.

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in 30 scents).

3. A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it’s great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process.

Promising review: “I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven’t even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It’s so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I’m up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don’t have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It’s better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It’s so lightweight I hardly even notice it” —Linda Holloway

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight styles).

4. An ice cream cozy, because your cravings for frozen sweet treats are a year-round kinda thing. Use this helpful friend to happily hold onto your favorite pint without freezing your fingers off.

Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in two sizes and over 50 prints).

5. A veggie chopper you can use to dice onions in a flash — save your uncontrollable crying for the next time you watch The Notebook. It can also spiralize, slice, and chop!

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).

6. A Rifle Paper Co. umbrella because you’re sure to get caught in at least one of April’s infamous showers — you’ll be able to shield yourself from the rain in style!

Promising review: “The colors are very pretty, and it is small enough to fit in my purse, which is what I was hoping for. Works well; seems sturdy so far.” —Rebecca

Get it from Amazon for $45 (available in five styles).

7. Colorful silicone luggage wheel covers that’ll reduce the blasphemous noise your beloved suitcase typically makes as you make your way through the airport.

Before ordering make sure you confirm the size of the wheels, the distance between the wheels and the axles and fenders meet the noted size requirements.

Promising review: “These rubber wheels are fire! Definitely provides little grip, moves quiet, doesn’t mess with the luggage wheel rotation and little less vibration. Love the bright red color goes well with my carbon fiber luggage. Easy to install and it’s funny they have directional line/arrow like car tires — details count for me.” —Tieng Nguyen

Get a set of eight wheel covers from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight colors).

8. Classic round sunglasses to add into your daily rotation now that the sunshine is back and ready to play — you’ll look cooler than cool in these babies while also protecting your eyes ☀️.

These sunglasses feature anti-glare lenses that can block 99.99% of both UVA and UVB radiation.

Promising review: “This is actually the first time I decided to buy sunglasses online without trying them first but honestly it was a great decision. They look exactly like on the pictures and did fit perfectly. Worked great during my trip to Puerto Rico, so def would buy again.” —Marta

Get them from Amazon for $15.99 (available in nine styles).

9. A dimmable candle warmer that’ll melt your go-to candle nice ‘n’ evenly so you can fill your home with the sweet scent of springtime without having to search around for matches or a lighter. You’re welcome.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

I purchased this gorgeous lil’ lamp after my husband realized the smoke/ash from my candles were actually starting to stain our white ceilings (oops). It works SO well. All I had to do was plug it in, set the timer (I love that it has timer options!!!) pop one of my candles under it, and let it do it’s thing. It looks so pretty on my desk and adds a little bit of extra light to my space!

Additionally, BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says: “🎶 It’s me, hi. I’m the impulsive buyer, it’s me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn’t need)…I finally did it, and WOW am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift.”

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors). 

10. Faux tulips no one will realize aren’t the real deal (unless they take a sniff of ’em). They’ll add a fun pop of color into your room and help you feel like you’re shaking the winter cobwebs off for good.

Promising review: “Gorgeous artificial flowers!! Perfect for those of us who are allergy-riddled floral enthusiasts. I use them for seasonal and holiday decorating, as well as homemade gifts for my family and friends. I love the careful attention to detail, particularly how random leaves appear to have ‘dirt’ as if freshly picked right from the garden. Really appreciate a quality allergy-free floral option.” —Jen M

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sets of 20, 28, or 60 and in tons of color combos).

11. Or an aesthetic vase boasting flowers of its own — your supermarket bouquet will look simply breathtaking when placed in this beauty.

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in 11 styles).

12. Julep Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick for anyone who has always wanted to make shimmery eyeshadow their *thing* but has never been able to apply it without the glitter getting all over their face. This stick is fantastic as it glides on like a cream but dries as a powder.

Promising review: “This eyeshadow glides on so smoothly, is super cute and sparkly, and does the job. You do not need to be a makeup pro to use this product and make it look good on your own skin. It is easy to blend, is perfectly pigmented and convenient to carry around in your purse. The price point is great and I highly recommend this product if you’re looking for a new, easy to use eyeshadow stick.” —Sho

Get it from Amazon for $8.50+ (available in 45 shades).

13. Heeled mule sandals with braided straps that are quite similar to the popular Dolce Vita pair (but for waaaaaay less). Just think of how stunning they’ll look with all your lil’ spring numbers and how great your wallet will feel when it’s not empty from spending all your money on shoes. 😉

the lavender version

They’ve got a 3.5-inch chunky heel.

Promising review: “Amazingly comfortable. I was very skeptical when I bought this pair of heels. I thought I had to return them as they might not be comfortable for me. I have wide feet, so I thought they might not work but I wanna give it a try. Wowww!!! They blew my mind and they are very comfortable. I ordered size 8.5 and they fit me well especially my wide feet. They’re very cute and very comfortable. The material might not last me for years but they gave me a beachy feeling, which I love it. I totally recommend these shoes. They don’t hurt my feet at all.” —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $34.98+ (available in women’s sizes 5–11 regular and wide and in 25 styles).

14. A mason jar cold brew maker in case you’d like your coffee maker to fit in with your home’s carefully curated aesthetic. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. Cheers!

County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories.

Promising review: “This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!” —Jo

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and colors).

15. And Disney tumbler glasses featuring none other than Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck — fill ’em up with iced coffee, lemonade, or whatever other refreshing beverage you prefer to add some extra magic into your day-to-day.

Amazon

JoyJolt is a small business! It’s likely because I’m a self-proclaimed Disney Adult, but these glasses have been ALL over my socials. I’ve had several friends DM them to me, so I’m likely fated to add these into my cart by the end of the month. Who could blame me? They’re so cute! Each tumbler also comes with a straw. ✨

Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.95.

16. A set of tiny strawberry candles that’ll have you singing “I want more berriessssss and that summer feelinnnnng” a la Harry Styles each time you light one — and who could blame you?! They’re freakin’ adorable.

Promising review: “These are just the cutest little candles and ever so summery! Their size, appearance, and scent are just like real strawberries. Perfect as little take-home favors or decorations for a backyard picnic!” —M. Milton

Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in red and pink). 

18. A rose-shaped ice cube tray, because you and I both know you’d love nothing more than to unwind from a not-so-great day while watching Beauty and the Beast while sipping an on-theme beverage.

Promising review: “So easy to use and clean. I added a drop of pink food coloring to the water used to fill the molds. Perfect tea rose ice cubes!!! Perfect for cocktails with the ladies. I made ice molds with watermelon purée also. Add mint leaves and vodka, and it’s the perfect afternoon.” —PrettyMommy

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

19. A cute cropped high neck tank top that’ll become your go-to for all of your summer activities — good thing it comes in a ton of colors so you can stock up! It’s made of a super soft material you won’t be able to get enough of.

I wore this in Deep Blue to see Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, and anyone who is *in the know* will understand just how much thought goes into choosing an outfit for that occasion. I originally was going to go channel “Lavender Haze” with my sister in this top (pictured, left) that is very similar but a little more low cut (my sister wore it instead!). I ended up going with a Midnights x Folklore vibe (IYKYK) and this shirt was exactly what I needed to pair with my cardigan. The material felt almost bathing suit–like and was super stretchy (excellent for anyone who, like myself, is rather busty). I liked that I was able to wear a bralette with it and that it wasn’t see through at all. Can totally see ordering this in other colors for the summer!

Promising review: ‘You know that TikTok sound that goes ‘If I like it, I’ll just grab it in another color. If I like it, and they have another color, I’ll just grab it’ and so on? That was written about this top. It’s so comfortable and I can confidently wear it sans-bra (I’m a 34F for reference so that is a BIG deal for me – it never happens!). Consider every other color grabbed!” —Meghan J

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women’s sizes XS–2XL and 23 colors).

20. Paw Paw Wonder Blender makeup sponges to ensure you’ll never find yourself without the *perfect* foundation applicator. Reviewers say it’s a great alternative to the ever-popular Beauty Blender and adore that it comes with six in the pack.

I have these and use them to blend my concealer — they work great, are easy to clean, and come with enough in the pack that I had zero hesitation giving my mom keep one for herself.

Promising review: “I’m a professional makeup artist and I can seriously tell you I will never switch again! These sponges are by far better than the leading brands like Beauty Blenders, Real Techniques etc. They are not stiff which makes the makeup apply beautifully and seamlessly. My favorite way to use them is to wet them and wring them out. Order them ASAP! You won’t regret it :)” —Mabel

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.

21. I Dew Care’s “Tap Secret” mattifying powder shampoo is benzene-free and will be your savior on the days you simply don’t feel like (or, honestly don’t have the time) to wash your hair. It’s small enough that you can keep in your bag and break it out as needed.

The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you’re looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush. 

Promising review: “This stuff works better than Batiste at absorbing oil. I have very wavy, fine, greasy hair and I can go an additional day without washing it now.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $11.69. 

22. SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it’ll reduce under-eye circles and puffiness thanks to the glacial waters its formulated with. It’s so freakin’ cute!!! Who wouldn’t want to improve their skin with the help of a lil’ polar bear?

Promising reviews: “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 $9.90. 

23. Derol Lip Plumper and Lip Care Serum, which uses natural ingredients like ginger, mint, and vitamin E to gently make your lips look more full and moisturized. Pucker up!

Promising review: “I’ve tried several lip plumpers before, all with varying results. I was on the market for some new gloss and found this on Amazon. This stuff is the real deal. It does tingle a little bit, but not to the point of pain, and it leaves your lips looking voluptuous and full. I’m really happy I decided to try this out.” —Marissa

Get the set from Amazon for $9.98.

24. Essence Lash Princess Mascara might just leave people wondering if you recently got eyelash extensions (which it feels like everyone and anyone has been raving about). Joke’s on them!

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a BIG fan of this mascara. She said:

“Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of the positive reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn’t get clumpy, it stays put ALL the live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), and you can apply it on very lightly if you don’t want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time.”

Promising review: “I have to be honest, for a ‘cheap’ three-pack mascara, I did NOT have high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much.” —Liz

Get it from Amazon for $3.32 (also available in a three-pack).

25. Or Lilac St. Original Lashes that are said to stay put for up to 10 days (!!!) which means you won’t have to apply mascara for over a week! They’re vegan, cruelty-free and feature silk lash fibers you’re bound to get compliments on.

Lilac St is a small business!

Promising review: “Y’all I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started and I will never leave them. These are the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use multiple times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously will never stray.” —Katiew

Get them from Amazon for $12.30 (available in 11 styles and five sizes).

26. COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence that’ll have you wondering if Gary the Snail has been the reason SpongeBob has been looking GOOOOOD for all of these years — it soothes damaged skin while also repairing dark spots and improving skin vitality.

the product

Promising review:Um…WOW! I have used so many products to help with my dry, red, and inflamed skin. During the winter it is so hard to keep my skin moisturized throughout the day. Within two days I saw such a huge difference. So calming and gives you a nice, moisturized glow. I feel so much better knowing my skin is healing. I will use this in my routine for the rest of my life!” —Christina A.

Get it from Amazon for $13.

27. E.l.f.’s Poreless Putty Primer reviewers adore because of its lightweight texture and how wonderfully it works to reduce the appearance of pores. You can also count on it to help you apply your makeup smoothly and evenly.

I, like many others (it has over 23,000 5-star reviews on Amazon) have this primer and also agree that it’s fantastic! It really does go on my skin so smoothly, I can barely even feel that I’ve put any primer on at all. My makeup stays on so nicely when I take the time to apply it over it. And at a price like this? Ya can’t beat it.

Promising review: “I saw this on TikTok and thought I’d take a chance. I have sensitive skin and have to watch what I use. I LOVE this product! Goes on smooth and you don’t need to use a lot. I put it on before I put on my foundation. Makes a huge difference. Highly recommend and will buy again!!” —Brooks Crim

Get it from Amazon for $10.

28. A blackhead scrub stick that’ll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil’ character from Finding Nemo that said “you made me iiiink!”

reviewer image of stick with extractions from skin on it

See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping’s TikTok!

Promising review: “Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!” —Molly

Get it from Amazon for $8.31. 

29. An airplane phone holder to clip onto the tray in front of you whenever you travel — never stress about only owning wireless headphones again! No need to *only* choose from the handful of meh movies the airline is showing.

Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on-the-go.  

Promising review: “I bought this nifty gadget about six months for a multi-leg, ultra long haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I’ve clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I’ve been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It’s extremely well-built and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don’t anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I’ll be happy to buy another one or two of it!” —Earendil

Get it from Amazon for $12.29.

30. A Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while you’re parked in your car just tastes better and you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your favorite dipping sauce to do so! Thanks to this lil’ clip you really can have it all.

Promising review: “How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first ‘TikTok Made Me Buy It’ purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car’s vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that’s holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I’m looking at you, Arby’s.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that’s balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole ‘wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,’ which usually doesn’t turn out so great.” —Pleasure Pamela

Get set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10).

31. Crayola Globbles, a fun lil’ toy you can use to burn off some steam in between meetings or when you just need a quick mental break. Don’t worry, they won’t leave residue on your walls.

Check them out on TikTok!

Promising review: “My daughter is 4 and plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it’s not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!” —Kindle Customer

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.79+ (also available in a pack of 16).

32. A milk frother to pack a powerful, spinning punch despite looking rather delicate. It’ll help transform your latte into one just like your favorite barista whips up for you at your go-to coffee shop. Delish.

Promising review: “So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!” —Denise

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 45 styles).

33. Oversized flower-shaped hair claws that’ll help you salvage your mood — even on your worst hair day yet. How could you possibly stay grumpy when your updo looks like a spring garden?

Promising review: “These are cute colors. I bought these for my 12-year-old daughter because everybody was wearing them on TikTok. She has long length hair that is medium thickness and it holds it in an updo just fine. These are sturdier plastic and not made of the typical clear fragile kind.” —Mamamia28

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $13.99. 

34. A waterproof shower phone holder, because why buy an extra music-playing device when you already have your Spotify linked to your phone? Stow your phone away in this for safe keeping, then proceed to sing and dance your heart out to The Best of Taylor Swift while washing your hair.

Promising review: “This waterproof phone case makes listening to music and watching Netflix in the shower so easy!! It’s super easy to put your phone in, fog proof, and easily rotatable. The only thing is sometimes touching the screen through the plastic can be a little difficult, but worked most of the time! It comes with three different backs so you can move it around to many different spots in the house. I got the white so it would match my shower.” —Brittney Steele

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in five colors). 

35. A color-changing moon lamp to keep you company during late night gaming sessions (and encourage you to stop sitting in darkness, save for your monitor light). It works alongside an app that’ll let you customize the color of your lighting and it also has color modes that are sound-reactive and will change along with whatever music you’ve decided to vibe with that night.

Promising review: “I bought this lamp after seeing it on TikTok. It looked really cool and thought it would be a nice addition to my bedroom! This lamp is so adorable and perfect for bedrooms of any age and would definitely go well with a kawaii gamer setup too. It has a multitude of color options; the gradient pastel rainbow is my favorite! It’s controllable from your smartphone or touch, and it has a neat little feature where it changes color based on the sound it picks up! It’s super affordable, especially compared to other smart lights like Phillips Hue.” —Alice

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available corded or cordless, and with or without Wi-Fi for Amazon Alexa/Google Home compatibility).

36. A silly windshield shade that’ll keep your car cool while making it look like all four of the Golden Girls are cruising around — want to place bets that they’re headed to pick up a cheesecake???

Promising review: “I am so happy with my purchase. It keeps the sun out and makes me smile whenever I see it in my window. 😂 5/5 recommended!” —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

37. A pair of wireless sleep headphones, because we’re basically living in the future — you can listen to music, a podcast, or your go-to comfort show (helloooo endless hours of Gilmore Girls) to help you fall asleep without fruitlessly attempting to get cozy with earbuds bulging out of your ears.

Reviewer wearing the grey headband around their head with their head on a pillow

The headphones connect via Bluetooth and have 33 feet of wireless range (meaning your phone doesn’t have to be right next to you). The controls are on the forehead, which makes it comfortable for back and side sleepers, and they are made to block out ambient noise.

Promising review: “I saw these on TikTok and since I have so much trouble finding quality headphones I decided to try it. I’m very happy with the sound quality and comfort of these. I’m able to fall asleep to my music or podcast without having to limit myself to sleeping on my back or losing an ear bud in my bed in the middle of the night. It makes working out easier as well.

38. Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque, which will feel more like a science experiment than a beauty product — the results will have you absolutely baffled! You simply apply the mask in a fun shade of blue (but fear not, that’s not the final color), then peel it off to reveal a perfectly pink pout that’ll stay in place despite whatever eating/drinking plans you’ve got lined up.

Wonderskin is a small business specializing in cosmetic and skincare products. 

Promising reviews: “I kept seeing Wonder Blading Lip videos on my TikTok. Went to Sephora and couldn’t believe they didn’t have it. Wound up buying it on Amazon and loving it!” —PM

“I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour staying power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades.” —Brandy

Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 17 shades).

Scented candle with the text

Evil Queen

When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their “OMG You’re Engaged” candle in a boutique near my NYC apartment a few years ago. I’ve been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is female-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry.

I recently received this new spring candle and it is quite possibly a contender for the best candle I have EVER owned. I had a strong urge to eat this it smells so fresh and delicious (don’t eat it, OK?) It is SO refreshing and delightful I’m going to need to order at least 10 to get me through the spring and summer. Honestly, it’s just SO good.

Scent notes:

Top: Arugula, Cyclamen, Citrus, Mint
Middle: Bergamot, Basil, White Lily, Jasmine
Base: Green Leaf Accord, Key Lime, Rose Tea

43. A yuzu-scented hand soap with a playful pump that forms a flower in the palm of your hand each time you use it — guests will be absolutely delighted to wash up before dinner at your house.

BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord says: “I’ve been using this soap, and not only is it super hydrating for my hands (LOL @ constantly handwashing now and forever!), the yuzu scent is just calming and lovely, and I’m obsessed with how light and frothy the foaming suds are from the soap. The best part is that the bottle is totally reusable; you buy the dispenser once, and then you can get refills of the foaming soap for $10.64 from then on out.” Read more of her yuzu-scented hand soap review (it’s #32).

Promising review: “I saw someone on TikTok with this and did an impulse buy and I love it. You do have to give it a few pumps at the beginning of the first use to get the soap up. But it does make a cute little flower on your hand. Super cute and I love the fact that you can get refills so it’s not a one use kind of deal.” —Christina Hansen

Get it from Amazon for $17.03+ (available in two styles).

44. An Icebreaker gadget to ensure you’ll always have fresh ice at your finger tips — simply fill it, pop it into the freezer, use the handles to crack the ice (once it has frozen, obvs) then pour the cubes directly into your drink! It’s leakproof and dishwasher safe.

Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business estabished in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen. 

Promising review: “We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it’s frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that’s okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it’s made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!” —Leah Koepp

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).

45. Menore Slippers featuring squishy bottoms you’ll find *so* comfortable whether you’re wearing them around the house or prancing around in the rain — they’re made of a material that’ll dry quickly so no need to fear surprise showers.

Promising review: “Love them! So comfortable! Really your feet will not sweat. I notoriously have sweaty feet and nothing but perfection here. I just moved so I’m walking a ton of laps in my new place. They are great! Easy to slide on. Walk the dog. No breaking in! They are better than my Crocs! 😜” —Laura Green

Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in women’s sizes 2–12, men’s sizes 4.5–11, and in 13 colors).

46. A Taylor Swift Little Golden Book adults and kiddos alike will cherish, I’d be remiss not to say it’s “the best thing that’s ever been mine.” The illustrations are gorgeous and it’ll look so cute on display in your home.

I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” As the parent of a 1-year-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I’m a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages are. I was so excited to read this lil’ biography with my son and teach him a little more about someone I adore (which it does a great job of doing in a pared down way!). It’s a short book, looks cute on my desk, and is a hit for bedtime story time. What more could you want???

Get it from Amazon for $4.78.

47. The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook, perfect for anyone who would basically give their kidney away if it meant being able to chow down on a Mickey-shaped pretzel right about now.

Promising review: “This cookbook brings Disney magic to your kitchen! If you have grown up going to the Disney Parks or discovered them as an adult easily one of the greatest aspects is the food. I always wanted that food when I got home and now I can. This book is so comprehensive covering the best dishes organized by park. It is a beautiful book that will bring our family magic for years to come!!!” —Jason M. Bernhisel

I took the plunge and ordered this lil’ kit and it was SO easy to use. My first attempt (pictured above) took literally two seconds to do. My bread was on the smaller side, but it still produced a perfect crust-less PB&J!

Promising review:These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks’ worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!” —Katherine Smaczniak

Get it from Amazon for $16.97

49. A Java Sok to keep your drink chilled, perfect for anyone who is sick and tired of drinking watered-down iced coffee. You can’t help it that you had a very busy morning fielding emails — and your beverage shouldn’t have to pay the price!

Java Sok is a small business that sells an array of reusable neoprene cup holders designed to keep drinks colder and eliminate condensation.

Promising review: “Obsessed! Great stocking stuffers or a gift to yourself! Will be buying more. I’m someone who takes a while to drink their drinks (mom life) so it keeps my drinks from watering down! Love this product! Feels like a coooozy” —Thumbs up

Get it from Amazon for $11.38+ (available in a variety of prints and five sizes).

50. A mini belt bag you can wear across your body like a lil’ fashionista when you go to brunch or around your waist more practically when you’re out on a hike. Reviewers love that it’s similar to the cult favorite Lululemon belt bag 😉.

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly (seen above, right) used this on a 5-day trip to Iceland (it was the only bag she packed!) and loves it:

I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don’t work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors.”

Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 33 styles).

51. Snail teabag holders that’ll prevent your tea bag string from *~slippin’ into the lava~* AKA your steaming tea. Reviewers also love adding them to their potted plants — s’cute.

Promising reviews: “These little critters are awesome! I like using them on the edge of my tea cup when I make hot tea. I just wrap the teabag string around the snail and it keeps everything from falling back into my tea. I like that each one has a different color and I keep them all handy to grab.” —KA7DRE

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $6.48.

52. A Bluey coloring book filled with 64 (!!!) images you can work on while watching your favorite episodes of the show. And if your favorite episode isn’t one with The Grannies in it… you have poor taste.

You can also grab markers, crayons, or colored pencils to go along with it.

Promising review: The coloring book is sturdy and well constructed. Pages are thick enough to accommodate crayons or water colors.” —J.L. Ross

Get it from Amazon for $4.46.

53. A carbonated bubble clay mask that starts to bubble once it’s applied — get one for you and your bestie and prepare for a fun night of selfies (all the while banishing blackheads).

Promising review: “Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn’t expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn’t sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don’t remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It’s also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn’t see near these results from).” —Phil Textor

Get it from Amazon for $9.78.

54. Kylie Skin Lip Butter you can count on to hydrate your cracked, dry lips (winter really did a number on us, didn’t she?). The applicator feels super high end and the results will truly speak for themselves.

Kylie Skin

First things first, it’s important to note that balm is part of the Kylie Skin collection (rather than Kylie Cosmetics), so you already *know* it’s designed to help hydrate and heal your lips. Anyways, I’ve been using this for the last few weeks and I genuinely enjoy it. I use it throughout the day but also at night before bed to let the shea butter, jojoba seed oil, and cloudberry seed oil sink in. My lips feel so renewed in the morning! I also really enjoy the applicator which is different than any other balm I’ve tried out — it feels much more luxurious. Definitely give this new product a try.

Promising review: “If you are on the fence about yet another lip balm, let me help you…GET THIS PRODUCT! It’s amazing! Makes your lips so soft and shines so beautifully! Worth the price! It’s more of a light lip balm/oil. And the smell is divine!” —Taylor

Get it from Kylie Skin for $20.
