It’s 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters Price: $17.95+ (available in two styles, four colors, and three sizes) Promising review: "This is beautiful for going out, going to work, skirts, pants, etc. The material is buttery soft and the thong style ensures little to no panty lines." —Sarah Brookins Price: $16.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and six colors) Check out why these are a fave in this TikTok. Promising review: "Y’all, I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started, and I will never leave them. These are of the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use it several times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously, will never stray." —Katiew Price: $12.95 (available in eight styles and eight sizes) Reviewers recommend placing this up against a wall when using it as a chair for the added support. Promising review: "I love this chair/sleeper. It is very cute and makes my living room feel so comfy. I purchased the ivory chair, and I absolutely love the texture. The firmness of the bed when it's laid out is exactly what I was looking for. Sitting on it as a chair is a little harder since there really isn't any back support or strong stability, but I purchased it more for the bed for guests. I love it. It is a little low, but I think it makes it more comfy and doesn't block my window. It is the perfect addition to my studio apartment. It's so cute and comfy." —Rachell Price: $119.49+ (available in two sizes and seven colors) Promising review: "OMG I love this duvet! It’s so freaking pretty! It’s a little bit larger than the comforters I use but that’s fine. Buy one, you will not be disappointed." —Lupe McCoy Price: $52.99+ (for a Queen; available in five sizes and 16 colors) Some reviewers recommend ordering one cup size up for correct coverage. Promising review: "I wear a 38DDD and finding a bra to keep them supported and dry has been a never ending battle. I typed in 'minimize bras' and I took a chance on this one. I’m so, so thankful I did! This bra does not disappoint! It’s true to size. It keeps my chest lifted without straps digging in. It's super soft on my skin and kept me dry! I have bought five more and got rid of all my old bras. You will not be disappointed with these bras!" —Brynn Trimaldi Price: $28.99+ (available in sizes 34B–46DDD and 15 colors) Promising review: "This toilet paper holder is perfect for small bathrooms or even large ones if you just want things off the floor. It's functional, mine holds four rolls, and it’s a great price for a very practical item that will last. Great item!" —Michelle-Rene' Price: $14.99+ (available in three colors and three sizes) And you can grab some highly-rated Palo Santo sticks to burn for $12.99. Promising review: "This burner is perfect. Elegant and warm. It has a soothing, smooth design and provides a pleasant aesthetic. It was packaged very well with custom-cut closed-cell foam, which indicates care from the vendor. Good value, wonderful design, large enough to place sticks or cones, but small enough for tiny spaces. I will be buying more." —Tordenavaer Ravenshield Price: $19.99+ (available in 10 styles) Promising review: "LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat, very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it is so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" —Cheyenne Price: $22.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 29 colors) These have belt loops, so you could add a belt as needed! Promising review: "These pants as so comfortable and flowy! I stepped outside of my usual skinny jean outfit to try this style — and I never want to take them off! They are great casual pants for work and can be dressed up for the evening with a fancy shirt and heels. They are as comfortable as pajamas, without looking like it." —Nash Price: $33.59+ (available in sizes XS–2X, including short sizes, and several colors) Promising review: "Cute aesthetic clock. Easy to use, and I love how I can turn down the brightness. A perfect addition to the bedroom, and I love how it’s not just decor." —Ariel Alcantar Price: $32.99 (available in four colors) These are made without harmful substances and are indoor air quality certified. 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 Promising review: "These are, hands-down, the cutest paddles on the court! I thought I was seeing things when I saw Sonix was selling pickleball paddles!!! I come to Sonix for all my phone cases because they have the cutest and most interesting designs, but it looks like I'm going to buy a few more paddles now! Come on, look at this photo (pictured above, left), everyone has these boring paddles. I don't ever have to worry about someone mixing up their paddles with mine! (but also have to make sure no one steals them cuz they're so freakingggg cute!!!!) I've been getting into pickleball, especially now that the weather's getting better. But now I just want to order more to match with different outfits, how cute would that be?!" —Helen Promising review: "This is an amazing idea and so fun! The prompts are amazing to unlock a creative block if you feel like drawing but don’t know *what*. It’s also a super fun screen-free activity to do with my 8-year-old — she draws the cards and we each make an illustration, all the while discussing ideas and why they work. I’m buying two more sets for gifts. This is perfect for kids and adults!" —Megan Theile Promising review: "This is my second diaper caddy to own. I got a new one for my second child because the last one became a toy carrier for my daughter. This one is beautiful and looks like the color that is pictured. It's also very sturdy, where some are flimsy. I organized mine with the essentials. It’s able to fit plenty of diapers, wipes, burp rags, diaper cream, gripe water, etc., which made it very easy to use and take all over the house. The dividers come out — they are attached by Velcro but are easy to put together or take off if you want to adjust it." —Katie Mabe Promising review: "These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." —Brittany Price: $9.99+ (available in different colors and styles) Promising review: "I was looking for a basic, simple can opener with a bit of style…this one is it! Works very well, opens cans smoothly. Also, the color is perfect!" —Jennifer Cooley Rosanbella is a small business specializing in personalized nursery and infant goods. Each piece can have up to 10 letters, with two sizes available for the best fit. The image on the right is of my daughter's pennant! After featuring these for ages, I was super excited to have one made for my baby's first birthday. It's such a charming addition to her room, and the type of decor that she won't age out of (like most of the items in her nursery). I love the thought of a piece of decor from infancy staying in her room as she grows up. Promising review: "I ordered this personalized pennant for a friend who is expecting a little boy! IT TURNED OUT SO CUTE! Love the quality, size, and color! Would recommend!" —Megan Aseltine This includes hooks if you'd like to mount it on your wall. Promising review: "It is perfect, the exact look I was wanting. I love the neutral colors in it." —Daniel R. Price: $9.99+ (available in seven sizes and several styles) Promising review: "Great for pretend play! My daughter loves using this to look through when she is reading or looking out the window. The peacock is beautiful and well made. Great to take on car rides…small size fits in small hands easily." —AMF Looking for beautiful picture books? I wrote a post about some of my favorite reads a few years ago — check it out! Promising review: "I am extremely satisfied with these nursery floating shelves. The quality is outstanding. They are made of sturdy materials that can firmly hold all kinds of baby items. The design is not only stylish but also very practical. Installation was a breeze, and they fit perfectly in the nursery. They have added so much storage space and charm to the room. I highly recommend them to any parent looking to decorate and organize their nursery. Five stars without a doubt!" —Amazon Customer Price: $26.97+ (available in five sizes and five colors) FYI, there are LOADS of pregnant reviewers who are obsessed with the amount of stretch this dress has. And here's a similar plus-size version (L–5X). Promising review: "This dress is super gorgeous and totally worth the money! TikTok made me buy it, and it was on sale, so even better. The fabric is also really good quality." —Melanie Price: $32.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 23 colors and styles) I want this rug so bad I'm going to have to physically restrain myself from hitting the "add to cart" button. Oops, didn't work! It will be mine. Promising review: "This is the cutest little rug. I searched forever before I found it and it's exactly the idea I was picturing. I love that I can teach my daughter the name of the bugs easily since she will see them daily without messing up the ambiance of her room with bright, tacky colors. It is exactly as advertised and is made well!" —Samantha Dunseith Price: $52.79 ( for a 5x7'; available in eight sizes and six colors) Promising review: "10/10! A perfect-sized pot for 1–2 people to share a meal, cook out of, or eat out of! I just received it yesterday, and I’ve already cooked with it twice with no issues at all. It’s the cutest light pink color and the shape of a heart at a fantastic price. I currently own three Dutch ovens and this is the best one that I already use way more often than the other two. It is not heavy at all, and it is very manageable for an everyday pot. Super easy to clean with some soaking after letting it cool down and rubbing with the soft side of the sponge." —D. Dorado Price: $27.99+ (available in two colors and sizes) Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review: "Feels expensive. This hair clip works very well and also feels like a very high end item. It’s very sturdy and is a great, trendy replacement for plastic claw clips." —Mae Price: $7.99 (available in silver, gold, and as a pair) This bookshelf is one of my most treasured purchases for my daughter. I bought two of the versions above for our living room because I love them so much (and because I have, ahem, too many books). I use this specifically for board books. My daughter has been able to get books out of this (without it toppling over on her) since she was old enough to crawl! I firmly believe that having books out and easy for her to access has made her the avid reader she is. I love, love, love this sling shelf system. Promising review: "This is perfect for a nursery! I needed something that would display my daughter’s books while being easily accessible, but also space-saving. This was just that. It’s great quality, very easy to put together, and looks perfect in the small space I needed it for! I’d recommend to anyone!" —Abby M. Remember to grab some pillow inserts while you're shopping. Promising review: "It's a gorgeous color, and the velvet is soft and has a lovely sheen. For this price, I didn't expect anything this beautiful." —Glencora Price: $21.99 (available in five colors) Promising review: "This is very well crafted. It’s so pretty. I love it and I got one as a gift for my daughter-in-law who is an avid reader. I’m sure she will love it too." —Jennifer Price: $5.99 (available in four seasonal styles and 26 letters) Promising review: "My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside too." —Amazon Customer Price: $14.43+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors) This uses three AAA batteries and includes a remote that lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. Promising review: "For the price you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder Price: $27.54+ (available in three colors) Promising review: "Very pretty curtains! I love how they are thick enough for some privacy yet still let the sunshine in. I chose the taupe striped so I can transition my kitchen for the fall, but think they will look pretty all year long." —Stacey Price: $17.99+ (available in three sizes and 21 colors/styles) Promising review: "I LOVE the look of this fruit bowl. I also love that its pedestal minimizes the space it takes up on the counter. I wasn't sure about whether I would like that it is plastic but now consider it a big plus. It keeps the bowl lightweight (but it is still sturdy) and makes it easy to clean. I highly recommend this fruit bowl. I couldn't be more pleased with mine." —Opinion o'Jen Price: $19.88+ (available in four colors) Promising review: "It's beautiful and installation was really easy. I love it. It is wonderful!!! The pattern changes color as the sun passes throughout the day. Really pretty." —Lily Fred Price: $18.99+ (available in four sizes and three designs) To get the cat eye effect, apply one layer, cure with a UV light for one minute, add a second layer, and use the included magnet to move the glitter into the desired formation. A few reviewers didn't find the magnet to be strong enough, so you might want to grab this magnet kit as well. Promising review: "I've been doing my nails for years, and this was so fast and fun to use. I always wanted cat-eye polishes in my collection and this was perfect! Especially for Christmas time! I will say they are thick, and I'm guessing that's because they're pigmented and packed with the little magnetic bits for maximum shine and glimmer. I feel like I have the northern lights on my nails! I would recommend playing on a few test nails beforehand to get a handle on the different patterns you can make with the magnet. Overall, would recommend it for anyone wanting something easy and fun!" —Hailey Price: $14.99+ (available in various set and color options) Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy this but I absolutely love it! It keeps my drinks cold for hours, the ice stays solid without watering the drinks down, and it prevents condensation. Perfect for iced coffee, soda, or any glass cup. The patterns are adorable as well. I loved it so much I had to order another for my other car!" —Marta Price: $16.99+ (available in three sizes and several styles) Promising review: "I needed something to fill a blank space on my wall and this mirror was a perfect fit! It’s a dusty rose color and very lightweight. It's so cute — I highly recommend it." —Montana Promising reviews: "It’s much more spacious than it looks. It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome." —Su Promising review: "A gift from me to me ... and I love it! It's nice and heavy —doesn't feel at all cheap. I get compliments every time I wear it. So glad I treated myself!" —Christianne Chase Price: $13.99 (available in three styles and five sizes) Magical Flames is a small business that specializes in color-changing fire products. FYI, if you're making s'mores, don't throw these on until *after* you're done cooking with the fire. To get the show started, just add 1–3 of these packets to your fire, and you'll get up to a full hour of colorful flames before the vibrancy fades. You can add additional packets as needed! Promising review: "This product is so easy to use. Just toss a packet into the fire and watch the flames change color. The colors were beautiful and received a lot of oooooos and ahhhhhhs. Surprisingly, it lasted for quite a while. We will enjoy this addition to our campfires this summer." —Debra L. Musselman Price: $13.99 (for a pack of 10; available in three options and larger packs) Promising review: "This was to replace an inherited vintage radio that finally died after 50 years. This is smaller and has a similar style, but pulls in so many more stations than the old one did. Good sound in a small package, perfect kitchen radio." —Pat K Promising review: "Smells like the strawberry shortcake dolls I had when I was a little kid. You go through life chasing after snips and snaps of days of yore, and sometimes you find them where you least expect them, on Amazon. Small, strawberry-size, very cute, and smells like childhood memories." —dianamight Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
