Promising review: "If you’re looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric band-aids because they’re way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" —Jessica

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 styles).

Promising review: "This is just like the photos! It's a fun decoration for our kitchen. It looks just like the photos! Every time you take a tissue out, Marilyn’s dress changes to something different." —Hippie Artist

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through repeated flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —Francia

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two sets).

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

Promising review: "Travel with ease!! Before this product, I would take all my supplement bottles with me in my purse which took up an unnecessary amount of room. Now with this product, I can travel easily with all my daily supplements. Takes up minimal space in my purse and actually encourages me to take my daily supplements. Not to mention I love the color and style. Can fit up to nine of my largest size capsules." —Kaci Allen

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in seven styles). 

Each mini jar contains 38 lotion bursts, and is a great size for stashing in your purse for moisture on the go. Just be mindful about keeping it somewhere warm, as the lotion bursts may melt and clump together.

Promising review: "OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pop rubs into the skin. I've found they're the perfect size to get my hands and up to my elbows when I'm hecka scaly, and all the way up to the shoulders when I'm less dry. And there's no residue! No greasy feeling! Just soft and hydrated and awesome. If they come out with more scents besides this and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle

Get it from Amazon for $7.47 (available in two scents).

Promising review: "Best kitchen/hand towels I have found on Amazon yet. I get so many compliments on these!! Just bought some for my sister and mom, they love them so much. Soft and absorbent, just the right thickness, has some wear and tear after just a couple of months, but we use them daily and have washed and dried them a lot. Definitely worth the price." —CA

Promising review: "A useful and amusing stocking stuffer for my 79-year-old dad. The Splatypus is gentle on his arthritic but still very busy digits. And as a baby boomer, he never wastes a smidgen of his beloved peanut butter or orange marmalade. Dad loves the Splatypus!" —dk72

Promising reviews: "Must-have. I use this a couple of times a week. I have terrible blackheads and this manages to scrub 90% of them away and the rest are barely noticeable. Will keep buying." —Princess Jasmin

"After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." —LuckLocust

Promising review: "I got these because I needed a way to cut open a packet that a medication I take comes in. I've now just decided to take them all out of said packaging and put the pills in a small container. Go figure. BUT I still use these all the time. They're small but mighty. They cut through cardboard like a dream. And of course they're super cute! Who doesn't want cute stuff? I do. They're great for on the go because they're small and you can attach them to a keychain. I love them." —realhorrorshow

Promising review: "These mesh embroidered socks are super unique and add fun detail to outfits! I constantly get compliments on them with my white sneakers. They are breathable and thin, so they slide into shoes and still keep my feet dry and comfortable. I am surprised at how durable they feel, as my socks often develop holes in the toes. These fit great and seem resilient!" —ay2128

Promising review: "So cute! My niece is a big fan of Cam the Cat and loves this lip balm. It has a mild vanilla scent and is not too oily.

But then this lamp came along from the Amazon gods for just under $30 and no way I could pass up such a sick lamp. Smaller than anticipated but it's immaculate. Runs almost everyday/all day and has been doing great for a year now. Remote has never failed me yet (knock on wood)." —Samantha L.

They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. 

My colleague Emma Lord loves it: "I have been a fan of Touchland sanitizers for years, because they smell SO good, feel great on my skin, and most importantly, never, EVER leak in my bag. I can say with glittery certainty that this edition takes the CAKE. It has the perfect subtle vanilla sweetness without being overpowering (which is important to me, because most of the time I'm spraying this right before a meal with pals or after being on the train — aka, very public spaces)."

Get it from Ulta or Touchland for $12 (available in various other scents), or as a three-pack from Amazon for $36 (available in various other scents).

Promising review: "These are the cutest toast tongs! They are nicely crafted, and the long-eared bunny design is adorable. Perfect tongs for my toaster and waffle iron. It stands by itself as a little, functional piece of art, and won't get lost in the utensil drawer like my old boring tongs. The packaging is also nice and makes this really giftable, so I'll be ordering more as gifts for sure." —Tuzi

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in two other styles).

Promising review: "I will keep using these pens and keep buying from this brand!! I’m a pen enthusiast, and these highlighters are the best! No bleed-throughs, dries very quickly, the first pack I got was almost a year ago (which is a shame!) and they are still working well! It’s very durable and smooth. It’s [very] cheap for its quality as well." —Dilan Sakinci

Friendsheep is a small business that sells dryer balls handmade by women in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Promising review: "So surprised these dryer balls work! Purchased other brands and everything was full of static. These are very well-made and so cute. Best part is they do the job! No static and laundry is still soft. Tried using scented oils, and that worked too. I want to get more so I can interchange the critters. They make laundry chores fun." —RLC

Promising review: "I use this when I’m making hollandaise sauce. It makes a tedious task more fun — who wouldn’t get a smile when looking at a cute little daisy? It’s much more interesting than a boring normal egg separator! I love this company’s products — they bring fun into mundane tasks like cooking, cleaning, and more!" —Shelly Smithson

Promising review: "I have bought so many covers for my sofa because my two golden retrievers jump on it. Most of them bunch up and are messy looking. This one looks great, it's nice and thick, padded, and cozy. It also looks GREAT! So glad I bought it."  —Karen A. Vanloo

Peter Pauper Press is a family-owned small business founded in 1928.

This cute, fun design makes that task less daunting and easier, thanks to how it’s organized. It lets me divide tasks up into immediate needs and tasks to do eventually, as well as gives me a space for appointments and reminders for calling people. I also thoroughly enjoy the mood marker and the 'how was your day' section, as it also helps me track my mood. I absolutely adore this, and it will be a positive permanent addition to my life." —River

This case is designed for AirPods 1 and 2.

Promising review: "I’m so obsessed with this case not only because it's so adorable, but also because it fits my case so perfectly. Other cases I've had don’t quite stay on right, the cover will slip off or stretch out, but this one is perfect. It’s not going anywhere."—Heather
