Between the wicker picnic basket, square-toe ballet flats, tinted lip balm, and *sparkling* maple syrup, you’re sure to find something that’ll make your day.

I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping writer since 2017, with a focus on unique, practical products, up-to-date parenting finds, and up-and-coming home decor.

Promising review: "These are very cute and stylish shoes that immediately stand out. They are trendy while still feeling classic and easy to style. The square toe adds a modern touch, and the lace-up detail elevates them beyond a basic flat. They are comfortable right out of the box with no break-in needed. The material feels soft and flexible, and the fit is true to size. They sit nicely on the foot without rubbing or pinching, and the sole provides enough support for everyday wear, whether you are running errands, going out to brunch, or dressing them up for work." —C. S. Valdez

Get it from Amazon for $40.60+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 22 styles).

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two other scents). 

Promising review: "Beautiful. This is great quality and it looks like a real painting. 💗" —Yana Cucias

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four sizes and several styles).

Promising review: "Well-made, comfortable, and worth it. This set is a total steal. The lace is soft and detailed, and the fit is super nice. The underwire gives just enough lift without being uncomfortable. If you’re on the fence, just get it — you won’t find better quality for this price." —Kassia

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–6XL and 23 style variations).

Promising review: "This is delicious candy and not overly sweet." —RyanBrockus

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two sizes).

These are made without harmful substances and are certified for indoor air quality. 

Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with this purchase! The paper incense exceeded all my expectations. The quality is outstanding, and it works even better than the description. It arrived quickly, was well-packaged, and easy to use. Smells great and burns well. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for paper incense." —Kim

Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in eight scents).

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, the same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack, so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim, but I never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC 

Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in two other shades and in two-packs). 

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

Promising reviews: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually, I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it were bigger; it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 11 shades, in packs of 2 and 3, and in a jumbo size). 

Promising review: "I bought three for a Disney trip. They were perfect. I walked over 30 miles with no 'chub rub.' I was looking for something specifically with a four-inch inseam, and these delivered. My biggest issue is shorts riding up and, in turn, causing me to constantly pull them down. I had no issues with these! They are super comfortable and very cute. True to size. The pockets are a lifesaver for carrying your phone. Would absolutely recommend for long-distance walking." —Ash

Get it from Amazon for $19.78 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 17 colors).

Promising review: "I ADORE vampires, Halloween, and all things bat-related. I had to have this umbrella. The feel of this umbrella makes it worthwhile. The rubbery texture assures me it will keep me dry. That's not all. Hang the umbrella up, and it looks like a sleeping vampire! Too cute!" —Rae Rae

Promising review: "I am shocked by how pretty it is and how good it smells. Also, great price and great quality. It’s not too greasy, just really nicely moisturizing :)." —Faith Bremmer 

You'll get one of seven designs. Also, you'll need a 1GB–128GB TF memory card, since one is not included in the package.

Promising review: "It's such a fun and simple design that you really will be taking photos of everything with it when you first get it." —Hannah Vo

Promising review: "I used to be a normal person. I’d pour regular maple syrup on pancakes like a peasant, not knowing that a sparkly revolution was waiting for me in a tiny, magical bottle from Vermont. Then someone gifted me a sampler of Runamok Sparkle Syrup. Cute, I thought. Novelty, I assumed. WRONG. That was the day my taste buds were bedazzled, and my breakfast standards skyrocketed beyond repair. This syrup glistens like it was hand-harvested from a unicorn’s tears. It turns pancakes into a party. Waffles into wizardry. Coffee? Now it’s a glittery potion of joy. I put it on fruit just to make it feel fancy. I even caught myself contemplating a drizzle on roasted carrots. (Don’t judge me, I didn’t do it. Yet.) Yes, it’s pricey. But so is therapy. And honestly, this syrup might be cheaper in the long run. Buy it. Ruin yourself for lesser syrups." —Eric Williams

Get it from Amazon for $20.49 (also available in several non-sparkly flavors).

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." —MountainMan

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

Promising review: "This planter exceeded my expectations! It's absolutely gorgeous. I got the Giant size (12 inches), and surprisingly, it is very lightweight. I love how glossy the paint looks, really makes this piece pop in my kitchen!" —TL

Get it from Amazon for $35.95+ (available in two sizes).

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 $14.94 (available in three styles).

Promising review: "This is the perfect throw for summer nights as it is lightweight. Yet since it is muslin, it will adjust to the climate, so I'm sure it will be so cozy during the wintertime. It's beautiful and so soft, and now I don't have to steal my son's blankets! It is so soft, cuddly, and beautiful." —A & E

Get it from Amazon for $29.89+ (available in eight sizes and 32 colors).

Each pack includes adjusters in case your candle holders run large.

Promising review: "These are multi-functional, timeless, and well-made. I’ve been using both of these personally and for my company, and I can’t recommend them enough. These vases are a key part of how we display florals in our tablescapes. I love that you can put them into any candle holder and it changes the whole vibe! We use them for both faux and real florals. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and style, and I can always count on them to elevate our designs. Highly recommend! I personally have 12, and I’d love to see these come out in larger sets!" —Sasha Pintos

This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. You can see my before and after photos above. This stuff is magic.

Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect, and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E Miller

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in four colors).

The metal on the comb is anti-rust and easy to clean, and comes with a protective cover for maximum hygiene.

Promising review: "As a pro makeup artist, this is an excellent tool to have in my kit. Excellent for removing mascara clumps." —Lady Marina

Promising review: "My grandson likes that it can get warm in the microwave and cold in the freezer. He loves manatees. He thinks it is really soft and really cute! (He told me to write this.)" —Grandma Marva

Even my 2-year-old (the world's toughest of food critics) has favorites from this book that she'll request. The food is nothing like the casseroles and crockpot meals many of us grew up with. We aren't slathering things in cheese to give them flavor or dumping in a bottle of Ranch (Cheese and Ranch, I still love you. Too much.) rather, Doiron's professional palate takes simple meals and turns them on their head with ingredients that are nutrient-dense without being intimidating, and combines simple ingredients with techniques that change the game. I started following her TikTok and loved her recipes so much that I went to her book launch (I've never anxiously awaited a cookbook's publication, if you were wondering). Ready for my brag moment? Here's my brag moment: one time I saw Justine Doiron while we were both in line at Radio Bakery (because ofc she was at Radio Bakery) and I was very starstruck and very not cool, and she was *very* nice. If you aren't already following her Instagram, you're about to make a new best friend. Who feeds you *very* well.

Promising review: "Justine Cooks is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, especially for those looking to add more plant-based recipes to their diet. One standout is the kimchi poached eggs—a flavorful, unique twist on a breakfast staple that’s packed with probiotics. The cookbook’s layout is easy to follow, and Justine’s approach makes it accessible for cooks of all levels. While it’s not entirely vegan, many of the recipes are plant-forward and can easily be modified. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to make tasty, veggie-centric meals with room to adapt to any dietary need!" —Rachel 

Promising review: "OH MY GOD! These shoes are the CUTEST things I have ever seen in my life. I’ll never get over how adorable and comfy these are. The color is MAGICAL. No smell either.10000000/10 best shoes ever." —Rachael

"They honestly are soft and comfortable to wear. I love that I can wear them in the water and later dress them up with a cute beach pant and tee. I've got two pairs and am going back for another." —Suzan Vickerman

Get it from Amazon for $39.50+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 29 colors). 

Promising review: "Love this! I love mushrooms, and this is such a cute way to keep my butter soft and fresh!" —Danielle Granger

Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I’ve tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I’ve tried. I love the scent. Sol de Jeneiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." —Steph

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in four sizes, multi-packs, and refills).

Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones with scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" —Adirondackdarling

Promising review: "This speaker is well worth it! So convenient being able to have music directly in the shower with you. Easy to operate, including changing songs or volume right in the shower. It comes with a good-quality suction cup that you can hang the speaker from. I used to listen to music on my laptop outside the shower without being able to change songs or hear as clearly as having a speaker right next to me, so I am loving this product. Would definitely recommend it." —Mary A

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two styles and three sizes). 

Depending on the speed, you can get up to 16 hours of run time.

Promising review: "This is a lightweight fan that produces a strong breeze. Even if it's just moving hot air, at least it helps keep you cool. It was nearly 90 degrees the day that I used it, and it lasted for at least 9 hours. Highly recommended for theme parks or other locations where there's little shade and lots of heat!" —Blondegrandma

Get it from Amazon for $26.85+ (available in five colors).

I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! 

Mad Rabbit was founded by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect, and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.

Promising review: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward

Get it from Amazon for $18.98 (available in three scents and in a care pack).

Promising review: "OMG I’m obsessed with these earrings. They’re so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings from Amazon, but I decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They’re great quality, and I usually can’t wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch. This one didn’t do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in, but this one doesn’t do that either. I’m going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." —Ziyana Iyer

Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in two styles, four sizes, and three colors). 

Promising review: "Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom, and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste, and this is super helpful!" —Awesome Taste

Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two, but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely, or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double-check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick

As you can see above, I have big frames, and they're a curious shape, so finding sunglasses that fit over them was a big win! The sunglasses have a slightly elongated lip on the upper half, helping them snuggly balance over any shape of glasses. I wore these to Disneyland, and I was able to wear them over my frames while on rides, and they stayed on! I can't recommend these enough. My husband (who wears thick square glasses) has stolen these from me, which is the biggest 5-star review I can imagine. The man is picky. 

Promising review: "These are great! They cover my glasses well, and you can’t see my glasses through the lenses. The polarized lenses make colors pop while reducing the sun's brightness." —Leigh Manuel

Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 21 styles).

Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip, and my feet never hurt, and I still looked cute. Then a few months later, we went to Durango, Colorado, and did a ton of walking, and again, my feet never hurt. I washed them and let them air-dry several times over the next year, and they came out great each time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them, so I can still look cute and be comfortable, and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!" —J. Perkins

Get them from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in five styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 

Promising review: "Honestly, buy it. I was skeptical about this serum, especially since it’s such a large bottle for so cheap, plus this was a leap of faith for me since I do have sensitive skin. I’ve been using this religiously for over a week now, and even after the first day, I could see and feel the improvement in my skin. I went from having small red breakouts to clear, even skin almost overnight. I’m not even wearing makeup now because I love the look and glow to my skin. I don’t even do reviews, but this product deserves it 100%. I will be purchasing again. BUY IT!" —Boogs

Promising review: "It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I'm happy, and I think I may get some as gifts. They are easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama, and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes." —Amazon Customer

This 75-piece set includes 42 tracks and connectors, 17 trick pieces, and 15 marbles. The pieces are magnetic, so you can set this up on any magnetic surface. The lockers in your mud room are about to make that place THE hangout spot in your house.

Promising review: "I can't explain to you how cool this is. Once you have it assembled in the way that you want (there is a learning curve), you will be able to swap out different sections and change up the route. You can create several routes that the marble can go through. If you're going to put magnets on your fridge, it might as well be cool ones that move marbles up and down and around." —Kris Redick

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two set sizes).

Not only does my cat sleep in this every day (pictured above), she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment.

Promising review: "I bought this tart for my angel dog because he sleeps at my feet while I’m at my desk during the day, and I wanted him to have a cute, soft surface that would fit under the desk. The first photo is my four-year-old cat, who has NEVER taken to a bed, ever! She stole it from the dog and claimed it as her own, and we had to buy another one. Dog loves it, cats love it, it’s ADORABLE, just buy it! We got the large, which (barely) fits our chonky cat but is plenty spacious enough for our 5-pound dog." —Jennifer Cordero Rodriguez

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

Promising review: "This dino chicken nugget pillow is a real Jurassic dream come true! It's the perfect cuddle companion for all the paleontologists-in-training or anyone with an insatiable appetite for comfort. Just be careful not to accidentally take a bite while you're napping, because it looks deliciously deceiving!" —LadyTee

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three styles and in packs).

Promising review: "I can’t believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier’s Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It’s not oily but provides a lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." —e_whospends_money

Get it from Amazon for $12.78+ (available in five shades and a two-pack).

This water bottle has become a beloved member of our family. I love that it's leak-resistant and durable; my daughter loves that it's adorable. It's also particularly useful in the ultra-bright yellow, because it is VERY easy to find (on the floor) at night when my kiddo has inevitably dropped it and cries out for a drink of water. It's perfect for daily use, but we're also hiking through Utah this summer, and you better believe this water bottle will be with us! 

Promising review: "We absolutely love this. My 16-month-old baby loves drinking water out of it, which honestly says a lot! The size is perfect for little hands, it’s lightweight, and the straw lid makes it easy for toddlers to drink without spilling everywhere. It keeps the water cold for a long time, even when we’re out and about, and it feels very sturdy and well-made. I also love that it’s easy to clean and doesn’t leak in the diaper bag. Great quality and totally worth it" —Nerea Porritt

Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in five other non-caterpillar colors). Check out the entire Very Hungry Caterpillar line here. 

Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase them for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and it's pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slightly sticky residue, but I think it's overall amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glowed and felt smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother, and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby’s bum the next morning!" —tracey + kiwi

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in four other styles).

Promising review: "This is a new favorite in the office candy dish. Everyone was so excited to see these and commented on the nostalgia from these 'grandma candies' and how good they tasted. They said they are hard to find, and several people asked where I got them and what they are officially called. These were fresh (not sticky and stale), well packaged, and tasted exactly as they should. I’m definitely restocking when I run out." —Andrea Raney

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in multiple flavors).

Not big on water bottle accessories? Weird. But that's okay, the chain is adjustable and can be hung on anything small, from a reading lamp neck to a bag strap. 

Promising review: "This cute little charm is a must! I was trying to find a way to differentiate my Stanley — the perfect way to do it! It’s small enough to not draw too much attention and minimalistic for those who don’t want to go all out. Cute little accessory with easy clip to add or subtract from tumblers." —Lily

Get it from Amazon for $4.59+ (available in every letter). 

Promising review: "The special edition is so pretty! I’m a huge Twilight fan, so when I saw those magic reveal edges I knew I had to have this. It’s honestly even better in person. Is it very Twilight aesthetic? Not really, but it’s so pretty I don’t even care. 🫣 I love the girly flower pop feel." —Jessica

Promising review: "This is great for teaching different types of breathing to help calm down. The distraction of following the directions can take your mind off your anxiety pretty quickly. There are several types of breathing techniques to choose from. Kids love it because it lights up and changes color." —L. Demro

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.
