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 $24.99+ (available in three sizes and seven styles). In this bag, you can expect candies like happy flowers, sour fish, sweet strawberry gummies, pineapple gummies, sweet/sour grapefruit, cola pacifiers, mini peach rings, and mini blueberry sea stars.

Also reasonably priced in comparison to some others I have tried. Highly recommend." —Antonia Tedroff Promising review: "Classic and crunchy. Sweet, sour, and gone way too fast. I opened the box 'just to try one, ' and suddenly they were all missing. Zero regrets." —Nattie P Read more about how an Epsom salt soak or bath can help with stress and muscle relaxation at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Smells like a cozy crackling fire.

They are truly a lot of fun. :) The winner of all squish toys in my opinion, truly." —Brooke Get it from Amazon for $9.80 (you get a random color).

Promising review: "I have used them for both plants and light cables. The leaf design blends in nicely and looks decorative. They stick well on smooth walls, but a few lost grip over time — best for light vines. Still, they’re creative and serve different purposes." —Daniela Gomez Get a pack of 60 from Amazon for $12.99. These 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). 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 $16.14 (available in two sizes and two styles).

Naptime Designs NY is a small business that specializes in handmade home decor at an affordable price. Promising reviews: "These are so adorable!

And I got Jurassic Park for myself because it’s one of my favorite movies. So happy with them, and I definitely plan to purchase more! ❤️" —Lucero "These magnets are fantastic!

This is perfect!" —Meredith Snedeker Get it from Amazon for $5.49 (available in salted caramel, maple brown sugar, apple cider, or pumpkin spice). Promising review: "I’m a young adult who spends a lot of time in the hospital due to bad health issues. Most of the time, it’s nerve-racking and very boring. I ordered this little book to take with me for next time, and I was very happy with it! It kept me busy and calmed my nerves. It was easy to do and therapeutic. I like the variety of pictures!" —Cherry The kit comes with two landscapes and one portrait of Bob. Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross), and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m Note: Only order these when it's cold out or else they might melt on their way to you. Promising review: "I think the candy is very flavorful, and the little animals inside are really easy to peel out. They taste really good! This candy is especially great for younger elementary-age kids. My 6-year-old brother loved all the animals. You have to open up each cube to figure out what animal you got, which is a fun twist." —Caitlin Get it from Amazon for $2.81+ (available in two flavors and also multipacks). 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 $20.99 (also available in several non-sparkly flavors). Find your favorite microwavable animal on SuzziPal's homepage! 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 Elliebear Accessories is a teen- and mom-run shop based in Ohio that specializes in quirky, handmade accessories. Promising review: "I bought these for a friend and haven’t stopped thinking about getting a pair for myself. They’re so cute and dainty but still full of whimsy!

Promising review: "Bought these for a friend's birthday, and you know when something is packaged so well you just KNOW that quality is going to transfer to the taste? THIS IS IT. The box is incredibly sturdy, and there are so many options. The cocoa bombs are so big that they pack a chocolatey punch. Definitely going to get another pack to take with us to the mountains this winter!" —Japanda303 Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and it 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 Sayso is a woman-owned small business that specializes in the first-ever cocktail teabag, perfect for cocktails *and* mocktails. Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical when I purchased, but these are actually fantastic. The taste is great, and the bags make it incredibly easy to mix up what would otherwise be complex cocktails quickly and easily. I've had the spicy marg, espresso martini, and old-fashioned versions, and while they aren't exactly the same as the original, they are wonderful for making yourself a cocktail at home. Highly recommend." —Meredith Get eight bags from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four other cocktail styles and larger packs). Xtina's Craft Corner is a woman-owned small biz based in Pickerington, Ohio, and specializes in colorful book decor. Promising review: "Amazing, would definitely purchase again.

I gave it to my husband as an early Valentine's Day gift. We both love it. Easy to use. Beautiful lights. Bigger than I thought it would be, which is great. The candlelight setting makes for a great night-light. Well worth the money, and looks better in person than in the pics." —Felipe Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in a bigger size). 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 $25.95+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "As an avid Lego enthusiast, I've had the pleasure of building numerous sets over the years, but this one stands out as a masterpiece. From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed by the thoughtfully organized bags and clear instructions, making the build both enjoyable and manageable. I love plants, so the attention to detail in this set had my heart!" —Jami 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 I 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 Here's what my colleague Mallory Mower says about it: "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." Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (also available in a "bread" style). 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 on its own 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 $19.95 (available in three styles).
