It’s adorable! The color is true to what is advertised. It fits over my straw well and compliments my water bottle. Highly recommend!" —Aimee Budge Get a set of three from Amazon for $3.99 (available in 17 color combos, plus larger sets). If you're unfamiliar with pimple patches, they protect and help heal open pimples by sucking up gunk and keeping germs from getting in to reinfect the area. Get three sheets from Amazon for $20+ (available in seven styles). Promising review: "Cute little warmers that do the job well. They warm up really well. My 9-year-old loves them; they are just the right size for her hands! Battery life is fair; she uses them about four hours total a day during the winter months. Price was nice! I love how they are magnetized; it keeps her from losing them." —Sasha Dream Ceramic is a small business specializing in cute home decor. Promising review: "Super cute! Fitting the tissues in was bit of a struggle, but I’m pretty sure that is just a skill issue on my end. 10/10 would recommend." —Lee Get it from Dream Ceramic on Etsy for $44.15 (originally $84.01; available in two colors). Promising review: "Super cute and they are going to be such a hit in my treasure box!" —Octavia Promising review: "These lipsticks are so cute and so magical. The color that mine settles on my lips is subtle and not very dramatic. It almost gives me the feeling of wearing lip balm, which is my go-to for all things lips, so this was perfect!" —Daisy L. Alvarez Get them from Amazon for $9.98 (available in five colors). The flowers say cute things like, "Sure, I'm high maintenance — but I'm worth it. Probably." Promising review: "I absolutely love Brass Monkey sticker books. I have all of them and totally scooped the Best Buds one up when I saw it on pre-order. It delivers and will have you cracking up. Love it." —Maggie Promising review: "I bought this for my 17-year-old daughter and I to put together, and we had so much fun! The blocks are great quality, and it's super easy to assemble. I would recommend it to anyone 10 and up, as it has smaller pieces. Definitely recommend if you want an affordable activity to do one night that can also serve as decor!!" —duffy Promising review: "We're going on three years now with this lil' guy, and he's still functioning like he's straight out of the box. It's small and light enough to take on trips to the cafe and super easy to set up. It works wonderfully and looks cute, too. If you use it in public, you will definitely get a few compliments your way." —C Get it from Amazon for $15.10+ (available in six colors). Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and six colors). I have the banana on my fridge! It's not the sharpest pair in the kitchen, but I love it as a magnet/decor piece. Promising review: "Super cute and actually comes in handy. Love that it’s magnetic." —Joanna Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (available in four styles). Promising review: "So cute! My niece is a big fan of Cam the Cat and loves this lip balm. It has a mild vanilla scent and is not too oily. The cat is made of a squishy foam material, making it super fun for kids. I’ll try to find the other characters to get all of the lip balms in this collection." —N. Aco Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in four scents/shapes). Promising review: "I’ve bought these years ago and decided to buy them again for me and my son. He really enjoyed making the candy/gummies. He was proud of his candy sushi once they were assembled, and of course, he loved eating them. He said they were very yummy. The flavor for all the different little things wasn’t bad but my favorite was the 'seaweed,' it tastes just like grape Hi-Chew (my favorite flavor). I recommend buying these at least once for the kids. It’s fun and a tasty treat. We will look into the other kinds in the near future." —Blythe Get it from Amazon for $4.89 (also available in a three-pack). Promising reviews: "I got this little guy for my dad as part of his Valentine’s Day gift, and he loves it! He thinks it’s very cute. I’d say it’s a fun little stuffed animal for anyone." —Amelia "Got this for my mini Aussie and he LOVES snoopy. The ears are a little fragile, so we had to resew them, but it has held up well in the wash, and the fur is holding up really well considering how much slobber he endures!" —Amazon Customer 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-aged 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 three bags from Amazon for $12.27 (available in two flavors and other pack sizes) Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" —Lindsey Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.68. Promising review: "I bought these for my Ray-Ban sunglasses, and they work perfectly! ❤️" —BMosqueda Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six colors). Promising review: "I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It's not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great, but even without it, this cushion is soft and comfy! It's still worth every dime. It's perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft, cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it." —mandarabbit Get it from Amazon for $21.27+ (available in two sizes and six colors). Promising review: "Bought as a gift, and they loved it! Great buy for sure." —Rosa Promising review: "So cute on the fridge and worth the money. This would be a great gift for friends and family. These are small and good quality. Definitely will buy again." —Faith Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $8.59 (also available in a five-pack). Peter Pauper Press is a family-owned small business founded in 1928. Promising review: "I am absolutely in love. I have always struggled with being overwhelmed with to-do lists (both having them in my mind and making them). This cute, fun design makes that task less daunting and easier, thanks to how it’s organized. It lets me divide tasks up into immediate needs and tasks to do eventually, as well as gives me a space for appointments and reminders for calling people. I also thoroughly enjoy the mood marker and the 'how was your day' section, as it also helps me track my mood. I absolutely adore this, and it will be a positive permanent addition to my life." —River Promising review: "These are just the cutest bookmarks. They’re not heavy nor thick, so they work very well. I would definitely order these again." —katy Get them from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three styles and three pack sizes). Promising review: "These are very cute! I love the flexibility. The stems are long so it will not get knocked out your book (my book is always roaming in my bag). The top is subtle. It really looks like a mushroom emerging from your book. Worth the buy." —Atticus Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as cable ties). 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 Promising review: "Great for all ages — my young son thinks this is the funniest thing, and so does my husband. Great product." —April 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 $15.83+ (available in three scents). Dryer balls are eco-friendly *and* budget-friendly because you can use them over and over. Friendsheep is a small business that sells dryer balls handmade by women in Kathmandu, Nepal. Promising review: "These work very well! They spread around essential oils well. At first, I was worried that the black color of the wool would stain clothes, but that hasn’t happened at all. Very cute and highly recommend!" —Lanikai Get a pack of three from Amazon for $21. Promising review: "I love this! It’s well painted, and the solar light works great. It is the cutest thing on my patio table." —solowithpits Kinnju is a small business that sells stickers and keychains. Promising review: "Amazing product!! I’ve been eyeing this for a year, and I finally got my hands on one! Absolutely worth it. I can’t wait to use it!" —Sylvibbon Get it from Kinnju on Etsy for $26.09+ (available in two quality grades). Some of the themes included: baked goods, office supplies, pet supplies, groceries, and fish. Promising review: "These are so cute! I would buy them again!" —Evelyn Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in 14 styles). Promising review: "This is my first 3D puzzle and I love it. I was stuck a couple of times, but ended up figuring it out. The only thing I had to look up was the tiny piece that ended up being his tail..lol. After finishing it, it becomes something nice to put out as a decoration, and it stays in place. Can't wait to get another one!" — ukulele_o Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in five styles). Wish Upon Magic is a small Disney-themed gift shop. Promising review: "I am obsessed with this little window cling. It makes the best rainbows all day long!" —Nicole Get it from Wish Upon Magic on Etsy for $11.99. Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Promising review: "They are so cute and fun, and I ordered multiple. They gave me all the different colors. :) I'm 20 and I can’t stop playing with them lol, this is also my first Amazon review, so I’m really riding for these things. They are truly a lot of fun. :) The winner of all squish toys in my opinion, truly." —Brooke Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (you get a random color).
