Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches, like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it — it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope. Every day my whole living room becomes a party. :) Cannot recommend enough." —Phil

Check out a TikTok of the BYO Blush in action.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I tried this out myself and I have to say, it is WILD watching it adjust to your skin's pH in real time. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread — a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long lasting, too — I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day."

Get it from Amazon for $28.80 or Youthforia for $36.

Promising review: "Ok. I have wanted these for YEARS AND YEARS and finally bought them. WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG?!?!?! I don't eat plain sushi anymore. I eat sushi like a jedi would. Easy to clean and will bring you nerd joy every time you use them." —Hoosieronthemove

Promising review: "I got this for my friend's dog, and she absolutely loves it! Even knows it by name —"go fetch Birkin!" and she will! It's pretty good quality, and probably more suitable for smaller dogs. My friend's dog is a small maltese-poodle." —cvandoorn

Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in three sizes and 13 styles).

Promising review: "This table arrived on my doorstep packaged like an Ancient Greek artifact — in a wood crate surrounding the box and nestled in foam. It was flawless. After taking it out of its safe and secure home, my heart literally burst with joy. It was a true Care Bear Stare moment, colorful beams of light coming from my eyeballs and onto this beautiful little table. She's adorable, and I'm obsessed. The end." —LEIGH A.

Promising review: "This rug is magnificent. It is the star of my living room. It is plush, glamorous, and a touch boho. It is worth every penny. The curvy shape is a bonus and part of its charm. It looks like an enchanted forest-turned-rug." —glambohemian

Promising reviews: "Works just as I expected. I like it! When it starts to sink, keep an eye out for that. It means it's ready. Mine always come out good." —Eric

"A fantastic little thingy! The main trick is to use BUTTER, not oil, otherwise the egg sticks to the bottom. Eggs Benny, here I come!" —Andrey M.

Get it from Amazon for $15.95.

Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

Relive the Magic at Home is a family-run small business started by a mother and daughter to bring their "Happy Place" (aka Disney) home with them. They offer a selection of candles inspired by Disney treats, magic, and princesses, as well as stickers and more.

Promising review: "I am a massive Disney person, but my husband? Not as much. However, he will not leave Disneyland without a Dole whip/Dole whip float. So, naturally, this was a perfect stocking stuffer. Oh. My. God. If you’re debating buying this, stop and just buy it! It was packaged safely AND sustainably, which is a big A+ from me. The product is beyond expectations! The moment I opened the box, I got hit in the face with Dole whip perfection. The smell is so spot on my 5- and 6-year-old knew it was the 'ice cream from Disneyland.' I just loved the gorgeous rainbow bow. I don’t want to take it off because it’s so cute. Anyway. This shop is amazing and so is this candle!" —Ain't That Belle

Get it from Relive the Magic at Home on Etsy for $14.85+ (available in two sizes and with five sticker options).

It has over 11,000 (!!!!) 5-star ratings and comes with an application spatula.

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 $9.06.

Sniffingtons is a small Greenville, South Carolina-based shop specializing in enrichment products for dogs and cats!

Promising review: "My pup, Toby, is a 2.5-year-old cavalier who loves bubbles. After catching them, he’d often give us an 'ewww' look, as they tasted like soap. Until these. He LOVES these bubbles and seems to love the taste of them, too! I will gladly buy these again and continue letting him feed his bubble-obsession in a tasty way! In addition, when I needed help with my order, Ash was so kind and gave me the help I needed! Highly recommend this shop!" —Elizabeth

Get it from Sniffingtons on Etsy for $8.50 (available in 11 scents).

Promising review: "Mama Tot made me do it! I'm so glad I did. It's highly pigmented, feels great on, and blends nicely. Smooth application and that cute mirror!" —Beeps

Get it from KimChi Chic Beauty for $15 (available in four shades).

Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go crazy. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo

Get it from Amazon for $3.53.

Promising review: "This is the most adorable koala gift! He looks so sweet holding your glasses. Good quality and comes in his own box, which is perfect for wrapping. If you love someone who loves koalas, don’t hesitate! Totally giftable!!!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 11 styles).

Promising review: "Our four sons grew up building and playing with Legos, and I’ve bought countless Lego kits in more recent years as gifts for our grandsons who also simply adore building Lego creations. Now, I, in my mid 60s, know why! I came across the 'adult' botanical sets, bought the orchid for myself, and immediately discovered just how relaxing and enjoyable building a set can be. The completed orchid is truly beautiful. Lots of compliments on it. I bought this set next and I have to say, I think I enjoyed constructing the bouquet even a bit more, simply due to the variety of the flowers and colors. The finished bouquet is sooo cheerful and…gorgeous! Plastic! Lego! And, yes, gorgeous! New hobby! Bonus; my grandsons think it’s pretty neat that Nana now loves building Lego, too!" —Carol

Get it from Amazon for $47.99.

Promising review: "I've been watching these shoes for a while because it seems size 10 always run out. When I got the alert they restocked, I HAD to jump on it. First, these are definitely the cutest pair of heels that I've ever had on my feet. Just perfect to spice up an outfit for work, a night on the town, or just to wear when you feel like it. Second, I may have paid a pretty penny, but for the quality, the comfort, and the adorable design, it was definitely worth it. They come in the cutest cake box packaging with a set of replacement heel caps (I don't know what they're officially called). And I just get a kick out of the guillotine on the heel. They fit exactly as expected. Don't size up like some reviews say, if you're a standard 10, these will fit like a gem." —Kaybeline

Get them from Amazon for $104.99+ (available in women's whole sizes 5–11 and in eight colors).

Promising review: "My whole family loves it! It’s so unique and fun to display. It's a very special piece to own from one of my favorite artists, Salvador Dali. I wish it was a sturdier material (it’s plastic), but either way, it will be safely displayed and the quality looks so good you can’t tell it’s plastic until you touch it. I would love if they made a larger size, but this size is great too!" —Luz C

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

Reviewers do mention that these pick up dust and dirt pretty easily, but they can easily be washed with just a little bit of soap and water.

Promising review: "I bought a six pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could — the inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.60.

Promising review: "I was looking for something that would match up my abstract aesthetic and pastel colors. It really adds more personality to my room! It was easy to stick — probably spent 15 minutes trying to decide the best arrangements. I would 100% recommend." —Sofia Camarillo

Get it from Amazon for $10.89 (available in six colors).

Get it from Terez: $77 (for the top; available in women's sizes XXS–XL and in four colors) and $102 (for the leggings; available in women's sizes XXS–XL and in five colors).

The container can hold up to 24 slices of cheese.

Promising review: "I had an old Kraft cheese container from decades ago that finally broke and I didn't think I would be able to find a replacement, but this is even better! My kids named it Daisy immediately. It is cute to have in the fridge or even bring out to the dinner table. Great quality and should last a long time." —Karen

This California-based Etsy shop has been specializing in Disney decor since 2017. A portion of sales proceeds from every purchase goes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Promising review: "Yay! I love this sticker. It's so fun to see the rainbows shine through on a sunny day. I miss my trips to Disneyland so much and it's always a reminder to me that greater times are ahead and we won't be stuck in this situation forever. Love it so much!" —Jessica Ritter

Get it from Wish Upon Magic for $11.99.

Promising review: "I received this yesterday; installed it last night. Took my first bath with it today, and boy, does it work. I did not rate whether it’s easy to remove or clean, as I haven’t done those yet, but I don’t see why either would be an issue. If you’re an avid bath taker like I am (baths are needed sometimes to warm up during our cold Wisconsin winters) and are tired of the water level going down as quickly as you’re trying to fill it, I definitely recommend this. My only complaint is that I should’ve bought this sooner... I’ve spent years and years using strips of old rags, sponge materials, etc. to try to keep the water from seeping out (which results in smelly, moldy material), but this works like a charm." —HeartStar14

Get it on Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors).

The slide can hold up to 50 lbs.

Promising review: "We just received our slide and it took less than five minutes to get it out of the box and set it up. Super easy and convenient with two little girls waiting to see what was inside the box! My girls (3 1/2- and 1 1/2-years-old) got on this slide immediately after opening it up and I am not even kidding when I say they played on it for an hour straight. I was surprised at how nice and how sturdy the slide was considering it's made of cardboard. The girls had a blast playing on it and when it was time to go to bed it took about 15 seconds to fold it up to store until tomorrow. I love that it folds flat for easy storage so if you want it out of the way it can be. Very happy with our purchase!" —Amanda Sobol

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four styles).

*Yes, I know that is not even close to the real number, but doesn't it sometimes feel like it?

Promising review: "I love this product. I got it because of all the hype on TikTok, but I gotta say I actually find it a really nice way to display my bottle and accessories cleaner. It matches perfect with my boom grass. Makes my kitchen feel warm." —DIPC

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two colors, as well as just replacement brushes).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says: "My cousin gifted me a BOTM subscription many years ago, and I've stayed loyal since! It's the only subscription service I've kept up with and gifted to multiple people. Each month your gift recipient will be permitted to choose from a selection of books (and more recently, audiobooks!), all of which are different genres. Then the book they select will be delivered to their door. Half of my beautifully color-coordinated bookcase is filled with books from BOTM, and I couldn't be happier!"

They have peel-and-stick application on the back, so they're best for light things. But if you want something a little stronger, you could always use Command strips.

Promising reviews: "These are so cute and easy to install. My husband always forgets to put his keys away so I got these to try to condition him into hanging them up. Now he has a little friend say hello when he gets home." —leaaffy

"Bought this for college kiddo, and it’s received rave reviews. Loves them to bits, but swapped out the adhesive for Command strips per school policy. So cute!!" —at the lake

Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this projector. Definitely a cheaper alternative for the Skylite Projector. It comes with its own remote, it projects four different lights, and you can actually mix them up between each other. It also has a speaker to listen to music, and all the control buttons are on the remote to stop play or go back on your music. When I tell you I was hesitant about the speaker because I wouldn’t think it would be that loud, but it is REALLY LOUD! It’s the greatest purchase I have made! Highly recommend." —Mliyah

Get it from Amazon for $21.59.

I actually own this and love it so much. The moment I saw it, I knew that it deserved to be mine. The bag itself is really great quality and holds a surprising amount. I also love that it's a subtle nod to one of my favorite tv shows, but the illustrations are actually really detailed and beautiful. It makes me happy every time I see it.

Get it from Rachel Antonoff for $195.

Get it from Poppy & Pour on Etsy for $14+ (available with or without gold trim, two different edge patterns, six colors, and with or without gold flakes).

Promising review: "They were on time. They are CUTE! They are AWESOME! They're a little tricky to close because they aren't broken in yet. I wear a size 9.5 Van's but I ordered a 10.5 and they fit perfectly. I'm almost 300 pounds and they can hold me well. They feel like any other shoe when you're walking but they're heavier (obviously). If you're on the fence, lean this way!!!" —Cynthia
