Yankee Candle is making book-inspired scents now! Also, waterproof notepads exist. 🤯

Promising review: "This is a great all-around product. It is a hybrid product, so you get a little bit of tint and a little bit of hydration. As far as the color goes, it’s great! It doesn’t bleed, and it stays longer than a normal lip gloss." —misocute

Get it from Laneige or Sephora for $23 (available in nine shades). 

Psst — parents really love this as a "calm down" moment for their kiddos! 

Promising review: "This little cloud guy is adorable and squishy! His face is very sweet, and the color morphing is great. I really like it’s calming, and even if you don’t use it for meditation, it’s a cute night-light." —RgHound

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

Promising review: "Where was this years ago? Works great for sebaceous filaments on the nose, clears them up well. It's a powder, but as soon as you rub it onto your finger or skin, it turns creamy. A little goes a long way." —Anon

Promising review: "I was admittedly skeptical at first but I gotta say, I was SO wrong because this thing is SO right. Wow. I mean, it's instant relief. I get the hiccups sometimes, and they'll last for a super long time, and they kind of hurt sometimes, too. This straw, after one sip, makes them disappear in what feels a miraculous way! If I could give 100 stars, I wouldn't hesitate." —MW

Check out a TikTok of the collagen sunscreen in action. 

Promising review: "I am a skincare snob. I spend way too much money on products. But over the last couple of years, I’ve been trying to find a new moisturizer with SPF that doesn’t bankrupt me. I need something that can help my dry skin, protect from the sun, and not irritate my sensitive skin. I was skeptical about this product, never having heard of the brand, but I gave it a try. I am SO thrilled with the results. This moisturizer is BETTER than the $55 alternative I have been using. It moisturizes like a dream. It doesn’t pill. And my sensitive skin loves it. I am THRILLED with my purchase and will definitely be back for more!" —R. Berry

One reviewer says the process is like "staring at clouds and trying to make something of the shape," which sounds so relaxing. 

Promising review: "I love this book. I pre-ordered after seeing it on TikTok and couldn't wait to get it! I'm working on my second coloring page and love it! THIS is a great book for older adults and anyone who doesn't think they are an artist! Just need a fine black marker and you'll be busy for hours!! I'm going to get more as gifts. This also makes a great alternative for children, teens, and really anyone as an alternative to screen time! Get one, you won't be disappointed!" —Little wave 

It also has no artificial dyes or colors. 

Promising review: "I love Beekeeper’s products! I usually buy the line made for kids, but this is the first time I got one for myself because I had a slight sore throat that was keeping me from sleeping. As soon as I received it, I applied it to my throat and the pain eased right away. I definitely recommend it — it worked for me! It has a slight tingling sensation, but it’s totally fine." —Elizabeth

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in two other formulas).

The lap tray is designed with an educational world map, and also includes two activity sheets, four erasable markers, and 20 downloadable sheets. Btw, it works well on planes, and reviewers mention it folds and can fit under the passenger seat! 

Promising review: "We just used this item this week for a very long road trip. It worked great! It’s not flimsy and holds up well for coloring, playing, and eating without spilling everything everywhere. She could color without spilling crayons all over and could play with magnets and Barbies without the frustration of spilling pieces. My daughter is five, and it was a perfect size and easy to fold up and move so her siblings could get past her to exit the vehicle. We’ve had other brands in the past that were subpar, so I was worried about trying one again, but this one is stellar! The free printable coloring pages were super great! I highly recommend. Worth the cost." —C. Whitaker

Get it from Amazon for $27.98 (available in four colors). 

This is microwave, freezer, oven, and dishwasher safe. 

Promising review: "I love love love this cup. My arthritic hands can hang on to it safely. It’s beautiful on the shelf. It holds a lot of cereal with fruit, or soup with lots of crackers, or an extra-large hot fudge sundae. Quite pricey but great for those special little moments in life when you need a break. And at the end of the day, I look for my cup to make my cup of herb tea. I love 'my cup.' And it doesn’t seem to break easily. It’s still in one piece, and the only other person I let use it is my 3-year-old great-granddaughter. She loves it, too. Yes, I have to get another." —Second Soprano

To use, use gentle stroking motions in an upward direction following lymphatic pathways.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this facial brush! The bristles are very soft but still effective at cleansing my skin deeply without irritation. I use it daily for my skincare routine and it really helps with lymphatic drainage and facial massage. My face feels cleaner, less puffy, and more refreshed after each use. The shape makes it easy to handle, and the quality is excellent for the price. Highly recommend it!" —Adrian Hernandez Gonzalez

Get it from Amazon for 9.99 (also available as a two-pack).

Promising review: "Very nice on the lips, as expected. I got the nude honey shade. I love it, it feels good on my lips and is the perfect amount of shine." —Roshaunda

Hanni is a small business that specializes in personal care products. 

Promising review: "Love love love! Holy grail shower product. This saves me money on soap because the lather it produces takes just a couple of pumps for my whole body. The exfoliation is epic, and I can finally reach my entire back. Also dries very quickly and is such a cute pattern! I will definitely be purchasing them as gifts." —Tirza Sosah

Psst — this jewelry wash was one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2022 *and* 2023!

The set includes the jewelry wash and a radiance brush. 

Promising review: "My ring has never looked so pristine! I have a Verragio ring, which is very difficult to clean due to its intricate design. Even when I take it to the jeweler, I never feel like it’s truly clean, especially under the diamond. This cleaner is an absolute must-have, and the companion brush is incredibly gentle yet highly effective! I can use it while wearing my ring without any allergic reaction, which is a huge win for me since I suffer from severe contact dermatitis. To get into the tightest spots, I picked up some delicate nail brushes. The result? My ring looks brand new. The cleaner lasts a long time. Even after daily wear, makeup application, and frequent hand washing, my ring stays clean. I previously used an ultrasonic cleaner, which helped somewhat, but this product outperforms it by far. It’s incredibly easy to use, there's no residue left behind, and the scent is light, fresh, and barely noticeable. I wrapped up my cleaning routine by drying my ring with a microfiber cloth, and the results were stunning. The diamonds are sparkling beautifully! This cleaner not only deep-cleans your jewelry but also keeps it looking fresh with just occasional touch-ups. After the initial deep clean, I’ve found that quick maintenance cleans are all that’s needed. If I’m heading out and want that extra shine, a quick refresh does the trick. So far, I’ve used it on all my daily pieces: my white gold wedding ring, three stackable white gold rings, a sterling silver Apple Watch band, a sterling silver bracelet, titanium earrings, and two white gold necklaces. It worked wonders on every single item! I’m beyond impressed and will absolutely keep repurchasing." —Shanaye

Get the set from Amazon for $64.99 (wash and brush also sold individually; also available as an illuminating pom, towelettes, and as a wash two-pack). 

Promising review: "Absolutely love the smell of this Epsom salt. I got the other seasonal scents, but this one is the bomb! My muscles relax when soaking in this Epsom salt, and it doesn't make my skin itchy either. After trying the first bag and loving it, I bought three more before they were no longer selling." —JulieK

Get it from Amazon for $5.87 (psst — you can also try the popular "cozy vanilla season" and "cozy fireside" versions before they sell out for the season!!). 

Promising review: "Do not hesitate to try this product if you have a hard skin problem on your feet. It takes a few days to see a difference, but now I can see a change. Just like that, the skin on my pinky toe is not rock solid anymore. Bye bye, pain — and I am not joking." —Majda

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a two-pack).

Promising reviews: "Works great. I love these... I can use them to mark lines or just as a bookmark." —Amazon Customer

"Much, much bigger than I expected!... They will be cute and the clip will easily and conveniently mark your page. They are good quality clips, and the charms are nice...Great value, most are cute, very functional." —Kay

Get the 8-piece set from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in five styles).

Eight Saints is a small business that specializes in skincare products. 

Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of all things Eight Saints. I have sensitive skin, and this is the first skincare line that I have seen results in my skin texture and fine lines while not triggering my eczema. When I saw they added this neck cream to their product line, I knew I had to try it. At 39 years old, I've noticed some loss in firmness of my skin on my neck, and when I wake up in the morning, I have wrinkles on my decolletage from side sleeping. I started using this about a week ago, and I've already noticed improvements in the fine lines on my neck, plus when I wake up in the morning, no more wrinkles on my chest! It's so smooth, thick, and creamy, but rubs into your skin with ease, and it's so hydrating. Top quality product again from Eight Saints!" —Ms Leach 

If you've never played, the rules are super simple: players each place a card down one at a time while saying "Taco," "Cat," "Goat," "Cheese," or "Pizza," (in that order), and everyone slaps the pile when the card that's set down matches the word the player said (or when a ~special card~ appears, which in this deck are a bear, moose, and heart)! The person who slaps last gets all the cards in the pile, and the goal is to get rid of all your cards. Each round lasts about 10-15 minutes!

Dolphin Hat is a small business whose mission is to create easy-to-learn games that are fun for the whole family!

Promising review: "My boys love to play this game and I love to play it with them. We have the original and the Christmas edition. This Valentine’s Day edition is super cute and a nice little change up from the usual." —CGarnsey

Promising review: "TheraBreath Deep Clean is the best toothpaste I’ve tried! It keeps my breath fresh for hours, feels gentle on my gums, and leaves my mouth super clean. The mint flavor is refreshing without being too strong. Definitely recommend." —Maryna Ruzieva

Other scents are Blue Beary (blueberry, plum, sugar) and Acai Beary (acai, blackberry, and orange). 

Hempz is a small business that sells hemp seed-infused beauty products. 

Promising review: "I'm 48 years young and absolutely LOVE this Blue Beary Hempz lotion! I normally buy their regular bottle of blueberry lavender lotion, which is my go-to, but I find THIS blueberry moisturizer to be thicker, creamier, and lasts much longer on my skin than the usual stuff. I really hope it stays in stock because I have extremely dry, parched, crepey skin (lifelong extreme eczema sufferer), and this works so well AND smells amazing! This scent is not a natural blueberry scent, but smells exactly like Blueberry Hubba Bubba gum from the '80s. I am obsessed with everything blueberry scented, flavored, and themed, and this is just so fun! The packaging is adorable, too." —Lisa

Get it from Amazon for $19.60 (available in three scents).

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

Check out a TikTok of the acne-banishing body spray in action. 

Promising reviews: "This spray really works! It cleared up my back acne within just a few days. I was so impressed with how quickly I saw results. My daughter noticed the difference right away and, of course, ended up taking it for herself. Now I have to buy another one! It’s easy to use, dries quickly, and doesn’t leave any residue. Definitely recommend giving it a try!" —J

"This body spray has helped clear up stubborn back and shoulder breakouts better than anything I’ve tried. The 360-degree spray makes it super easy to apply, even to hard-to-reach spots. It dries quickly, doesn’t stain clothes, and has a clean finish. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, I saw smoother skin and fewer breakouts. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with body acne." —Rosiemelisa

Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (also available as a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this flavor!! So happy they added this to their collection. I am a huge fan of E.l.f and their products. I have very sensitive skin and this is one of a very few brands I can use without my skin reacting negatively." —Ashley C

Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in five other flavors).

Bounce Curl is a small business that specializes in curl brushes. 

Promising review: "Best brush hands down, I am a mixed girl with thick curly hair, and when I run this brush through my hair wet, it does magic. My curls after using this in the shower to detangle are amazing, then I use my choice of product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp but separate effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K 

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors). 

Promising review: "This is another absolute hit from Medicube. I’m 52 with post-menopausal, dry skin, and I’m very particular about body washes because so many leave my skin feeling tight or stripped. This one has been a standout for me. The first thing I noticed is the scent — a really nice, fresh citrus fragrance that feels clean and uplifting without being overpowering. It makes showering feel refreshing and a bit luxurious. The formula lathers well, rinses clean, and most importantly, it does not dry out my skin. My skin feels comfortable, smooth, and refreshed after using it, not itchy or tight. For post-menopausal dry skin, that’s a big deal. It feels like it cleans effectively while still being gentle and supportive, which is something I consistently appreciate about Medicube products. I use a lot from this brand, and they truly have yet to disappoint me. This is another win, and one I’ll definitely continue using and repurchasing." —TheFaceLadyG

Psst — Medicube recently dropped a whole line powered by Kojic Acid and Turmeric (along with this body wash, their other newest addition is this eye serum)!

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and [that there's] no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had them for a few months now and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $13.99  (available in three styles).

Promising reviews: "I’m not even joking, this changed my life. As a songwriter, I just wish I bought this YEARS ago. All of it is such great quality too — suction cup always sticks, pencil almost never needs sharpening (I’m halfway through my second notepad with my current pencil), and the paper is nice and thick." —B. 

"I told my husband out of the blue a few months ago that I would love to have a waterproof notepad to record all of my shower thoughts. Lo and behold, he handed me this dandy notepad on my birthday, and I LOVE it! It is great quality, providing a satisfying writing experience and never smudging. I was worried it would feel weird to write with, but that has not been the case! I write lists, and my hubby and I leave silly notes for one another. Definitely a wonderful gift!" —Noah B. 

Pro tip: reviewers mention that cooking your popcorn in coconut oil also helps achieve that movie theater flavor (but any oil works fine!). 

Here's what BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord says about it: "Our family recently unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm."

Promising review: "This is EXACTLY what you need to make popcorn at home that tastes just like you got it from the theater. I will buy this over and over unless something tragic happens like they quit selling it. It has completely changed popcorn at home for us and now we get to have amazing popcorn anytime we want, and no more awkwardly going to the theater just to buy popcorn. I tell everyone about this stuff." —Amazon Customer

And ~fun fact~, our very own BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord was featured as part of Reese's Bookclub for her novel You Have A Match in 2021!

Beauty Bakerie is a Black woman-owned small biz founded and led by Cashmere Nicole, a cancer survivor, mom, wife, and kindness advocate whose brand is committed to making the world a sweeter place. 

Promising reviews: "I’ve tried a lot of setting powders, but this one actually delivers. It keeps my makeup in place all day without looking cakey or dry, even in heat and humidity. The texture is super fine and blends easily, leaving a smooth, soft finish that blurs pores. I also love that it doesn’t leave a white cast in photos. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts forever. It’s definitely become one of my go-to products." —Cat M

"I love this powder. I have tried several other brands due to my fine lines and wrinkles, and they have all creased under my eyes and made it worse and more noticeable... this powder does its job with setting my makeup and limiting the visibilty of fine lines. I would recommend this product!" —ty

Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in seven shades). 

See what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my "daily wear" jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it (particularly this gold-plated ring and these chunky gold-plated earrings)! Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid." 

Promising review: "Really love this necklace set. I thought it was one piece, but it is actually two, so you can wear them together or separate, and adjust the lengths of each one. I've had several compliments on this jewelry. Very well-made, and it looks high-end. Still can't believe I got it for such a great price. Highly recommend." —Michelle

Promising review: "STUNNING!!!!! The thing that I love is the solar system, since I don’t have to charge it and it saves me money. It is good for our planet, too. The first day I put it outside too late and it didn't light up, but the second day it lit up automatically after it got dark. It lasts for the whole night, and when it is bright enough, it will shut off automatically. My kids love it so much, it is getting dark in New York around 4:30 pm now, and when my kids got home, they saw it and they just wanted to carry it around in our yard. It brightens up my garage and my stairs with a colorful rainbow color, very beautiful." —Miki

Promising review: "74 year old here, recently renovated my home so I can grow older in peace. Delighted by my home’s new look, I chose this product so I don’t have to store mostly-used up paint cans but can still have touch-up paint at hand. I like the steel balls that help stir the paint, tight fit for the lid, and the size and shape of the paintbrush. I bought three at first, then decided I needed this much handier system for all my stored paint cans. A bit pricey but it gives me paint cans I can carry, open and use, making repair jobs easier to tackle as needed, at any age." —45th Parallel North
