Promising review: "This dress was cute and fit perfectly! I like the pocket in the shorts underneath. The dress I have from Fabletics is similar but costs more, and they don’t have brown, so this really was a good buy." —Erin C Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL Promising review: "These are so fun! I love taking them to the lake. They are a bit slippery, which can make shuffling hard, but worth it for the waterproof aspect. They are pretty durable!" —Abby Marsing Promising review: "Finally, a solution for toddler flyaways that actually works! I bought the Kitsch Fly Away Stick for Hair specifically for my toddler's wispy, fine hair, and I am absolutely blown away. Her delicate baby hairs constantly pop out, but a quick swipe of this stick tames them instantly. It provides a surprisingly strong hold without feeling heavy or leaving any sticky residue — crucial for sensitive little heads! It's so gentle, easy to use, and quickly gives her ponytails and braids that polished look without the fuss of hairspray. If you're struggling to keep your little one's hair neat, this is your holy grail product. Highly recommend for fellow parents!" —Gabriella Diaz Promising review: "Stylish and easy to fill and use. The longest part was filling it up with fluid. I recommend letting the wicks soak for 20ish minutes, and they're super easy to light. Nice bright flame, and they keep the mosquitoes away. Highly recommend!" —Jim Perez Promising review: "This has exceeded my expectations! The shelf seems well-made and feels sturdy, with plenty of compression to hold it in place. The wood is very pretty, and the cup and phone holder work well. It’s the perfect size — not too big and bulky, while large enough to be functional! I am buying two more for my daughter. GREAT product!" —Amazon Customer Get from Amazon for $31.44+ (available in seven styles). Check out a TikTok of the drink dispenser in action. Promising review: "Super happy with this purchase. Our two little ones (five and three years old) can now easily fill their own drinks. We also purchased a dual cereal dispenser from Amazon, so now the kids can get their own breakfast cereal with milk!" —April M. Ramos Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four colors and in a pack of three). Promising reviews: "Wow! I was skeptical of the quality, but this is the best backpack I have ever owned!! It is so durable with so much space! I love how comfortable and thick the straps are as well. The pink color is exactly as shown, and I could not be happier. Cannot wait to use this for my trip to Mexico next week! Don't hesitate to buy this backpack!" —MHofman "I have sent the link for this bag to so many loved ones because it has changed the way I’ve traveled. I have always been the overpacker, having to pay excess weight fees on my luggage. Since using this bag, I have been able to cut down to a carry-on and personal item on most trips. Come the end of this year, my husband and I will have been on eight trips. This bag has been with us for half of them. I use it as my personal item and easily pack shoes, a large cosmetic bag, hair tools, clothes, a steamer, snacks, chargers, and other small items — it holds so much. The cream color is very stylish, and it is easy to clean. I cannot explain enough how much I love it. I’ll be ordering my husband one in another color for our longer trips." —Mads Get it from Amazon for $22.79+ (available in three sizes, two styles, and 32 colors). It's water resistant, so pets can drool in their sleep and not leave their blanket (and your couch) wet/crunchy. Promising review: "My shar-pei loves her blanket so much. It withstands her chewing on it and rooting it around on her bed. Will definitely look at getting the larger blanket for myself!!" —Lindsey Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in 12 styles) and Unhide for $49 (available in 13 styles). Promising review: "What impressed me most is how well it works. It doesn’t just mask odors; it actually lifts and neutralizes that 'pet smell' that builds up in carpets and fabrics, especially with shedding and long hair. The lemon scent is clean and refreshing without being overpowering, and it makes the whole space feel lighter and fresher almost instantly. It’s also incredibly easy to use. Just sprinkle, let it sit, and vacuum. I use it on rugs, carpets, and even pet-favorite spots, and I notice everything looks and smells noticeably cleaner afterward. With two stinky, fluffy pets, this has become a must in my cleaning routine." —Serissa Get it from Amazon for $25.49 (available in five scents). Promising review: "This travel product is the absolute best for toddlers. Love that it sticks to large hardcover books, airplane trays, stroller trays, and nearly all hard surfaces. Collapsing when not in use saves cupboard space and backpack space! Fairly easy to clean. My toddlers can eat their snack without losing half of it on the floor, suction the cup to a tray and put the cover on unassisted. Great travel cup for kids." —Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five colors). Why, yes, I did pre-order this book. And, yes, it is already on my shelf alongside my other Taylor Swift Little Golden Book. It's a super cute retelling of Taylor and Travis' relationship timeline and the perfect gift (or little treat) for any fan of the couple. Don't hesitate to add it to your cart for yourself or any Swiftie in your life! Promising review: "I absolutely love these silicone lids. It is so satisfying to lay it on a glass storage container and lift it up because the seal is so strong. I eat a lot of leftovers, and it is so easy to pop one of these on top of my dinner plate and throw it in the microwave. It drapes down the edges without creating a seal, so it keeps the food from splattering. I do wish that they offered color choices." —Candace Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.49+ (also available in a set of eight). The kit comes with 60 gel stamps and 5 different stamp designs. Each stamp can be flushed about 150 times. Promising review: "I love the look of these and the smell. They were easy to apply to the toilet and lasted a long time. The box came with so many that I don’t need to buy more for a long time. 10/10 a bathroom must have." —Jon Mark I have actually lost track of how many of these glasses I own (my deepest apologies to my kitchen cabinet, which is bursting at the seams). These latest versions are so cute and fun for summer! I drink an iced latte in one of them every morning — they just make me happy, simple as that. They make my Diet Cokes feel a bit more *elevated* than when I drink them directly from the can. It's also worth noting that they are not dishwasher safe. Promising review: "This makes a great gift and the quality is great. The price isn’t bad and I’ve seen a lot of dupes for less, but the quality isn’t the same." —becca2897 Get it from Anthropologie for $16 (available in four summer styles and a variety of others here). Promising review: "Who doesn’t need a WD-40 pen?? Seriously, just pop this little guy open and fix your squeaky doors, tough zippers, and whatever else you can imagine. It works great for tough-to-reach spots where you don’t want a bunch of drippy stuff. Sure, it’s a lot more dollars per ounce than the ol’ trusty giant can as far as value for money, but the convenience is unmatched. The packaging and pen cap are durable and sturdy, and I cannot imagine them being damaged before the pen runs out. A GREAT gift for the fix-it human in your life!" —Khalie Lynch Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.49. Promising review: "I've struggled with chapped lips and picking my lips for years. This is the best stuff I could have ever bought for my lips. I highly recommend if your goal is soft lips. 💋" —chloe cranford Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in two colors). Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne Get a device and two refills from Amazon for $9.09. Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising reviews: "I love this Anua sunscreen. It goes on smoothly with absolutely no white cast, and the moisturizing finish leaves my skin feeling great. It provides excellent sun protection without feeling heavy or greasy. A new favorite in my skincare routine!" —Noah Ferguson Get it from Amazon for $18 (also available in plain packaging). Check out all of the other fun items from the K-Pop Demon Hunters collab! Check out a TikTok of the under-eye brightener in action. Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! I love the larger roller ball, the cooling effect, and the instant depuffing of my eyes. Will definitely keep on hand!" —TRISTA T. Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in a steel or rose quartz rollerball). Promising review: "This lip stain is amazing! It feels so buttery and smooth. It leaves a light stain that lasts through a meal. It has a delicious scent. I like it so much, I just bought two more shades!" —Kelley Foreman Get it from Amazon for $9.69+ (available in five shades). Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I’ve used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is my skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $23.79 (also available in a two-pack). Promising review: "This baby night-light is a good deal… I decided to give it a try with my second baby after buying an expensive noise/light machine that was too complicated to use during night feedings. This one has a great price, a very practical size, the best material (it feels soft and is sturdy at the same time), and you can find the perfect brightness for each time you need it." —Mariana Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (typically $39.99). It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." —Crystal Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack). There are also postcards, letters, and other knickknacks to help you solve the mystery. Check out a TikTok about the book here. Promising review: "I rarely post reviews; there doesn't ever seem to be anything I can add that hasn't already been said by some other reviewer. That's probably true in this case as well, but I'm not letting it stop me this time. S. is truly a delight. I haven't been this excited by a book in ages. S. is the first non-ebook I've purchased in a very long time, and I'm loving every minute I spend with it." —Corey Punches Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite nail polishes ever. The color is stunning, but subtle. It dries fast, but evenly. It lasts very well for a regular nail polish. I have bought this nail polish a couple of times because I’ve never found a color that matches my skin tone as well as this one does. I strongly recommend it." —Lisa Promising review: "Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." —Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in three colors). JW Pei is an Asian- and family-owned small biz with minimalist accessory designs made with sustainable and vegan materials. BuzzFeed shopping editor Kayla Boyd is a huge fan and has written about her JW Pei collection, so check it out! TikTok is LOVING this bag — check it out here! Promising review: "These super cute and stylish mini bags are a must-have for anyone who wants to look stylish without carrying too much. Even though they’re small, they can hold all the essentials you need, like your iPhone, mirror, travel perfume, lip gloss, and even a hand fan. If you carry a lot of stuff, this size is not the best choice for you, but it’s definitely worth getting if you want a stylish and practical bag that won’t weigh you down. I need more colors! Go get you one!" —Natalie Velazquez Get it from Amazon for $84.15 (available in nine styles). Promising review: "Almost identical to one I've had for years. Perfect for holding my iPad at home and when traveling. The design makes it easy to grasp and carry. My old one has a side pocket that I use for a stylus or phone; this one has a pocket that looks awesome for holding chargers when traveling. Wonderful, soft, and very functional!" —Dale Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in nine colors). Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Promising review: "They are so cute and fun, and I ordered several. They gave me all the different colors. :) I'm 20, and I can’t stop playing with them lol, this is also my first Amazon review, so I’m really riding for these things. They are truly a lot of fun. :) The winner of all squish toys in my opinion, truly." —Brooke Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (you get a random color). I desperately wanted to get on the Eos lotion bandwagon. I gave the beloved Vanilla Cashmere scent a try, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I decided to give the Jasmine Peach a go, and it is absolutely delightful. It's not too strong and leaves my skin feeling super moisturized. I apply it right after I get out of the shower and let it soak in overnight. I've also started pairing with the coordinating body wash — I think I've found my go-to scent! Promising review: "The eos Jasmine Peach lotion has been a game changer for my eczema-prone skin. It provides long-lasting moisture, doesn’t feel greasy, and helps soothe dryness. On top of that, the scent is beautiful, fresh, and lightly sweet. I love how my skin feels and smells after using it. Highly recommend for anyone with sensitive or dry skin." —Sara F Promising review: "Best claw clip for fine hair! No headache and no slippage! Color is beautiful, and it stays put all day! My hair slides out of all other clips, and they feel insecure and uncomfortable. This one is awesome! I'll be buying other colors." —W. Doss Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in six colors). Promising review: "As many folks have said, have all the things you need (gloves, phone, shower head, etc.) at hand when you apply this freaking miracle. I have heels like a busted can of biscuits, and I don't have much faith in any product. Any trip to the salon is basically worthless for my calluses. So I soaked my feet and dried them. Applied the gel and waited. Rinsed and started using my rasp. I have NEVER seen so much skin come off. And it just kept coming. I rinsed and put lotion on, then slept in thick socks. My feet are so soft! Game changer." —VR Get it from Amazon for $7.98 (available in three scents). Promising review: "I really like these Caterlove seamless women’s underwear. The material is soft, stretchy, and very comfortable to wear throughout the day. One of the best things is that they are truly no-show under clothes, making them perfect for leggings, dresses, or tight pants. The bikini/hipster style fits nicely and doesn’t feel tight. The fabric feels lightweight and silky, which makes it great for everyday wear. Overall, they are a great option if you’re looking for comfortable, smooth underwear that stays invisible under clothing." —Rosa Rodriguez Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six color sets and women's sizes XS–XL). The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it, including a nail file, solvent, and cotton swabs. CurveCorrect is a small business! Promising review: "I never realized how curved my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the CurveCorrect product did I realize that I had a major problem and it could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" —Jamie H. Promising review: "This nail and cuticle cream is hands down the best I’ve ever used! I live in a very dry climate, and my poor cuticles were ragged, and my stress-nail-biting wasn’t helping matters. After only two days of applying three times daily, my cuticles are magically healed, soft, and soothed. My nails are now healthy and moisturized, and I even think they are growing faster! I don’t know how this formula does it, but it fully delivers on its promises!" —KW Promising review: "I used this product years ago and had the most amazing skin, but I assumed it was mostly genetics. Now that my skin is showing signs of aging, I decided to give it another try — and I’m so glad I did. My skin is transforming daily. They say your skin can rebuild itself, and it really does — especially when you remove the buildup of dead skin cells. I’ve been using it morning and night, and I genuinely look younger. My skin feels polished, my pores are noticeably smaller, and I need much less makeup. Such a fantastic product — highly recommend!" —Sweet Caroline BuzzFeed deputy editorial director Elizabeth Lilly has been putting this toothpaste to the test. She said, "I've been testing out the whitening version of this toothpaste, and it works just as well as any drugstore brand toothpaste without irritation. (I'll occasionally get irritation from whitening strips and treatments, and space them out because of it, but I've had none with this!) My mouth just FEELS cleaner when I use this, and it's even easier to use my tongue scraper after brushing, too! I think this has earned a spot as my new go-to." Promising review: "TheraBreath Deep Clean is the best toothpaste I’ve tried! It keeps my breath fresh for hours, feels gentle on my gums, and leaves my mouth super clean. The mint flavor is refreshing without being too strong. Definitely recommend." —Maryna Ruzieva Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99. Promising review: "This is a lovely carry-all. I bought one as a gift and then bought a second one for myself. Plan to use it when I harvest my veggies. The large size is perfect for my potato crop." —Janice Cavalli Get it from Terrain for $78+ (available in three sizes). Promising review: "These pens last so long and are so consistent. I have put so many people onto these pens. I use them at work all day long and they give me no issues. The comfort of holding the pen is great, and the texture of the pen feels great as well. Would recommend for anyone needing pens for journaling, work, or school." —brooke Get a set of five from Amazon for $6.47+ (available in 14 styles). Promising review: "Needed a nice frame for my lake house. I love the beading, colors, and style. Very well made and hangs nicely on the wall or can be used on a tabletop. I love the plexiglass vs. glass. Good safety feature." —Mim Get it from Amazon for $20.79+ (available in two sizes and 10 designs). You'll also get two 8-inch extension straps and a 28-inch strap for creating a unique-to-you fit! Promising review: "The cordless knee massager with heat provided excellent relief prior to my total knee replacement. Since my TKR, I’ve been enjoying the comfort of the massage feature as my knee heals from surgery. This product stays charged for a long time and is portable, so it can be used while traveling or working. My only regret is not finding this product sooner. It's great and works well." —Donna Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (also available individually). Promising review: "I received this as a gift and love it so much I bought one to give as a gift! So fun! A different look each time you pull out a tissue. Makes me smile every time. Worth every penny!" —zumbanista Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six styles). I've been testing this water bottle out and, well, I have zero bad things to say! It keeps my water cold overnight, I'm obsessed with the vibrant color, and it's easy to slide the straw under to keep it germ-free. I've gotten a bunch of compliments while walking around my neighborhood with it. Big fan!! Promising review: "I originally got this cup so that when I was around my nephew, I didn’t have to jump up and grab my cup to keep him from trying to drink out of it, but I can say overall I really do like this cup. I have a normal Era, and this one is made just as well and is leakproof. The straw cover is very sturdy and it does have to be pushed to open, so you don’t have to worry about it sliding open due to it falling over or dropping." —cassidy Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available 30 or 40 oz and 10 colors). Promising review: "Tired of traditional 'cool' pillows that feel like a brick? Tired of soft pillows that wake you up in sweat? Look no more! I am a very hot-natured, hot-sleeping person. I can not sleep without a fan on high blowing on me. This pillow is legitimately cool and comfortable. Somehow soft, but still supportive. Very, very happy with my purchase and the price!" —Robert Get a set of two queen-size pillows from Amazon for $39.99+ (also available in various pack/set options and sizes, and two styles). Promising review: "This product is the real deal. The first time I used it, I noticed a definite softening of the lines on my neck. I have been using it for about a week and it has made a noticeable difference. No, the wrinkles are not completely gone but there is a real difference. I will also point out that I am almost 70, so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but this product has come pretty darn close. I recommend it." —rose b. Promising review: "Y'ALL, it smells amazing!! So fresh. I’m definitely gonna purchase THIS and the toilet cleaner and check out their other lavender scented items. I recommend this for a long scent. The quality is so good and worth the money and the effects are amazing! No leaks!!" —Jenna Gilpin Get it from Amazon for $4.97 (available in five scents). Each kit includes an ultra-soft velvet record brush, a bottle of cleaning liquid, a stylus brush, and a storage pouch Promising review: "I've cleaned a dozen or so records with this and love it! The wood handle brush works great. It takes just two sprays of the spray to clean an entire side, and it cleans well. I recommend this for anyone who wants to preserve their collection and protect their stylus." —BobbyD87 Also check out some outer sleeves for your records to keep the outer record sleeves pristine, too! I picked these up for my husband for Christmas and they truly are even more gorgeous in person. We have the "Woodland" green color (it matches our kitchen which is a lovely bonus) and I'm still enamored with them. They add a little something extra to his morning coffee *and* they can be washed in the dishwasher (always a win). They also come in Cortado, Cappuccino, and latte sizes! Promising review: "These glasses are perfect for my daily espresso pulling needs. They feel really solid and weighty and are a great size that leaves the perfect amount of space between my scale and portafilter. I’ll probably pick up some more in a different color at some point." —Chris Get them from Fellow for $34.95+ (available in four colors and sizes). Promising review: "Very satisfied. I tried everything to remove black mold with no success. This product actually worked to remove the black mold. I applied the gel on the mold and left it sit overnight. I was amazed the mold wiped off with a rag." —Robin S. Johns Promising review: "This surge protector is exactly what I needed for my home office. The rotating outlets make it easy to plug in bulky adapters without blocking other plugs, and the 8-foot cord gives plenty of flexibility. I feel confident knowing my devices are protected by 4,320 joules of surge protection, and the flat-pivot plug is great for tight spaces. It’s sturdy, well-made, and perfect for keeping all my electronics safe and organized." —Allen TM Promising review: "Great, great, great Lego set. Fun and and definitely a challenge for beginners. This Mario Kart is HUGE!! Great display item, can't wait to get my Luigi Kart! —Santos509 There are so many exciting new Super Mario products out right now ahead of the new film! My kids are currently obsessed with the Nintendo Talking Flower (fans of the franchise will recognize him as the chatterbox from Super Mario Bros. Wonder) and the Fisher-Price Little People My Mario Adventure Playset. Check out all of the offerings here! The Oura Ring 4 connects to your smartphone to help monitor your sleep, heart rate, and various fitness goals. I started wearing mine at the beginning of 2026 in an effort to kick my Apple Watch obsession and quickly became a fan. I love checking my sleep score (spoiler: I have two toddlers and my score is BAD) and keeping tabs on my stress levels throughout the day. My sisters and I have a "Circle" where we can each see our scores and chat about who slept the best/worst! I'm just getting started with it, but can't wait to dive into more stats. Heads up: The brand recommends buying the Oura sizing kit for $10 first to find the best size. And if you want to indulge in a bunch of other features, there is a $5.99 monthly subscription. BuzzFeed contributor Samar Hadri loves hers as well: "Introducing one of my favorite gadgets — the Oura Ring has pretty much not left my finger since I got it a few months ago. This ring is freaking fantastic! It tracks my heart rate, temperature (where was this during my fertility journey??), ~and~ sleep (and a whole lot more tbh). It uses biometrics to track my stress, how I'm feeling, and how much rest I'm *actually* getting at night. It even lets me know if my body is showing signs of illness, like a whole day before my first sniffles start! It doesn't feel bulky on my finger or annoying to wear, and the gold color is pretty and matches the rest of my jewelry perfectly, so it doesn't look out of place with the rest of my stack. After watching me use it for a few weeks, my husband went online and got himself one too, because frankly, it was just too convenient! Plus, the battery life is amazing. I only charge this, like, once every five or six days! The app even has an AI advisor that uses your info to give you suggestions based on your activity."
