Because you’re part of the “everyone” in the saying “everyone deserves nice things.”

I am a staff writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team who focuses primarily on practical and problem-solving products (although you can also catch me writing about cute, fun, and ~weird~ products, too!).

Promising reviews: "It's extravagant. It's bizarre. It's stately. I needed it. Great quality. It's an actual tapestry quality and not that cheap print screen fleece you'll find with regard to other products." —Elizabeth Jones

"This is one of the silliest things I've purchased, but I love it. The material is really soft, and it's a nice size for a lap blanket." —Sandra McConel

Promising review: "This electric spoon is spectacular. It's easy to use and comes with a cord and everything else. It's very practical and made of good material. It doesn't need anything; it just knows when to heat it up so that it turns out a spectacular scoop of ice cream." —lisney94

Promising review: "Much better than the Magic 8 Ball. Has lots of funny answers. A little loud, but sometimes it's good to be able to hear it over the laughter from the last answer. Fun for all ages! It's a winner!" —Debra P

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "We absolutely love these pillows. They make a bold statement. When anyone comes into the house and sees them on our couch, they fall in love with them instantly and ask us where we purchased them. We can’t believe how realistic they are. It really looks like you can eat the baguette. They did a phenomenal job recreating the look. They’re also incredibly soft and comfortable. What’s more, they’re gluten-free and calorie-free. Have yourself some fun and purchase these pillows, they’re wonderful." —Docimprov

Get it from Amazon for $32.48+ (available in three sizes and six other styles).

Promising review: "Wow! Love how these sunglasses look. Feel like a superstar. They fit great, not too big. They don’t slip. They are lightweight, and the frames are not too thick. I like the lighter lenses; everything is very clear. I wasn’t squinting with them on, so I would say the sun protection is good. They came with a cleaning cloth as well. I will be ordering in more colors." —Tracey

Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 34 styles and multipacks).

Promising review: "This has become my favorite scent! It goes on with a coconut/vanilla scent that turns into a soft musky sweet sandalwood/amber scent. It’s a thicker oil consistency that lasts.

Promising review: "Bought for my father-in-law, who eats hot dogs for lunch almost every day. It started as a joke gift, but he absolutely loves it! It's the only way he makes his hot dogs anymore! He says it crisps the dog and bun just right, and it's really quick and easy to use. Cleanup is very minimal. Works really well and has a nice vintage design and is small enough to leave on the counter." —Shelbie

Get it from Amazon for $27.68+ (available in five colors/styles).

One reviewer even said they're a great alt for the Alohas ballet flats, which cost a whopping $200.

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 $31.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in 20 styles).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says, "A few of my colleagues and I tried this ice cream. Guys, I dream about this stuff. If I ever found it available for purchase in quantities of four 'drumsticks' or fewer, I would 1,000% buy it, and I'm not even really a sweets person. (I wish I could eat nine whole drumsticks by myself, but that would also be torture for my stomach.)

Promising review: "The 'chicken legs' were a very believable illusion, and yummy! I was worried the cornflake coating might detract by tasting too much like cereal, but it blends perfectly with the ice cream, chocolate, and pretzel. Everyone thought they were fun and delicious." —Billie E

Promising review: "Excellent sound! The battery life is exceptional, I only recharge when I think about it, not because I must!

Promising review: "This is really so easy to use!! If you plan ahead, you can have ice cream daily, even a different flavor daily!! Easy enough to find different recipes, and you can put in add-ins like chips, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, fruit, etc. The plus side — you KNOW what's in it!!" —DawnH

Get it from Amazon for $249.95+ (available in two styles and colors).

Promising review: "Coop's is just the absolute best!! I was introduced to the hot fudge a few years ago, visiting friends in Massachusetts, and since then, I have been [obsessed]! I recently went for the fudge and salted caramel combo package. The caramel is equally as delicious as the fudge. The rate at which my family has been consuming these sauces is a little alarming…it’s dangerously good, and my kids call it the good-good sauce! Definitely recommend this to everyone — all ages will be happy!!" —Amazon Customer

JSYK: Some reviewers suggest sizing up! Check out the size chart to ensure a good fit.

Promising review: "I purchased this corset after watching a TikTok video of another midsized girl talking about how great it is. It did not disappoint! It fits nicely. I got lots of compliments on it! Someone else pointed out to me that the fabric looks expensive and just like another bustier listed on PrettyLittleThings for over twice the price." —Elizabeth

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 11 colors). 

Promising review: "These molds worked perfectly! I filled them with puréed berries, and they took the shape of the mold excellently. It was very easy to peel off the silicone mold, so the ice pop did not lose any shape or detail. I rinsed the mold with hot water and tossed it in the top rack of the dishwasher to wash." —Finest018

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in seven other styles).
