There’s something about a shark-shaped blanket cape that just makes my day.

This water bottle has become a beloved member of our family. I love that it's leak-resistant and durable; my daughter loves that it's adorable. It's also particularly useful in the ultra-bright yellow, because it is VERY easy to find (on the floor) at night when my kiddo has inevitably dropped it and cries out for a drink of water. It's perfect for daily use, but we're also hiking through Utah this summer, and you better believe this water bottle will be with us! 

Promising review: "We absolutely love this. My 16-month-old baby loves drinking water out of it, which honestly says a lot! The size is perfect for little hands, it’s lightweight, and the straw lid makes it easy for toddlers to drink without spilling everywhere. It keeps the water cold for a long time, even when we’re out and about, and it feels very sturdy and well-made. I also love that it’s easy to clean and doesn’t leak in the diaper bag. Great quality and totally worth it" —Nerea Porritt

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.

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC 

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in two other shades and in two-packs). 

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

Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in various set and color options).

Promising review: "I brought this with me on a camping trip in the Colorado mountains. Once the hummingbirds discovered the feeder, they were around it constantly. After one day, they would come to the single-ring feeder held in our hands. It was so fun getting to see the hummingbirds up close." —Debbie B.

This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. DO NOT put this in the water with you (for so many reasons), but it's totally okay if it gets a little water on it as long as it doesn't fall in. Whether on top of your shower or on a bathroom sink, it's gonna be bright enough to light up your life.

Hear one TikToker's thoughts on the shower lamp here.

Promising review: "I bought this for my bathroom because the one light is super bright and it's too much in the mornings. I still needed some light, so I looked into a lamp like this over some kind of night light or plug-in lamp. I bought this because the reviews were promising, and so far I'm really happy. I charged it when it arrived a week ago, and haven't needed to charge it again yet. I love the warm, but not yellow-y light it emits. The lamp also seems really sturdy, as if I knocked it off the counter, it would be fine. The dimming function is great, no flickering, and I'm really happy the lamp 'remembers' the brightness level it was last on. It says waterproof, and I haven't tested that, but the charging port plug seems to seal really well, so I'm not nervous to have it on the bathroom counter or right next to the shower. My one complaint is that the wood grain color appeared different on my computer than in real life, and it's a little more reddish in person. However, I like this lamp so much I've been moving it to my desk to use in the evenings, so I may just buy another one that matches my bathroom better and leave the wood colored one at my desk." —Syd Smith

Dumpling Daughter is a woman-owned small biz. All their sauces are made right in their restaurant HQ in Boston.

I'm not the only one in love with this sauce! Here's what BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: "I... can't stop eating this sauce. It was an impulse buy when browsing at Stew Leonards (IYKYK), and it's turned out to be one of my favorite spontaneous grocery cart additions. I've since seen it on TikTok, and for good reason — the sauce is sweet and thick (kind of like an eel sauce viscosity) with just the right hint of spice for me. If you love spice, you'd probably need to add some chili oil, which would also be delish. I put it on a lot of things (it would be good on cardboard, frankly), but one of my favorites is to slice up a cucumber — and half an avocado if I have it — drizzle on this sauce and add some toasted sesame seeds. The perfect side dish or snack! I just bought the 16-ounce size bottle, so I don't need to worry about running out as quickly. Bonus: the larger size bottle also has a twist cap instead of a pop-off cap (the pop-off is kind of annoying and gets a little messy and makes the sauce harder to shake before drizzling). 

Promising review: "Seriously, don't read it. Stop. Cease. Desist! Read no further. You're still here? Very well. You're wasting valuable time you could be using to order this sauce. I've ordered several bottles, and it's good enough to eat over rice with nothing else added. Superb! Go buy yourself a few bottles. Right now. Go!" —NumeralXVI

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in ginger soy, which is also delish, and Sichuan sesame soy, which I haven't tried yet).

Promising review: "This is delicious candy and not overly sweet." —RyanBrockus

You'll get one of seven designs. Also, you'll need a 1GB–128GB TF memory card, since one is not included in the package.

Promising review: "It's such a fun and simple design that you really will be taking photos of everything with it when you first get it." —Hannah Vo

Promising review: "This taboo squishy looks so real that my husband was wondering why I was squeezing a stick of butter! It has just the right amount of tackiness and the scent is pleasant." —davidandnina

Get two from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in dinner roll–shaped squishies).

Each pack includes adjusters in case your candle holders run large.

Promising review: "These are multi-functional, timeless, and well-made. I’ve been using both of these personally and for my company, and I can’t recommend them enough. These vases are a key part of how we display florals in our tablescapes. I love that you can put them into any candle holder and it changes the whole vibe! We use them for both faux and real florals. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and style, and I can always count on them to elevate our designs. Highly recommend! I personally have 12, and I’d love to see these come out in larger sets!" —Sasha Pintos

7AM is one of my personal go-to children's clothing brands (this chunky sweater vest and this matching set are beloved), and I can confirm: they really do grow with your kids! The quality is unmatched *and* I love that you can shop by feel "chunky, fuzzy, comfy, outerwear" — it's darling. The set above is a personal favorite. She wears the entire outfit during rainy days at school, and wears the pants whenever we craft with paint or cook something potentially messy. This is durable, and I'm confident it'll last for years. I've already got relatives asking for the hand-me-downs — I can't think of a better compliment for kid clothes. 

Get it on sale from 7AM for $29.99 (originally $48; available in three styles and sizes 2/3T–5/6Y).

The image above is of my daughter last Easter — we were outside most of the day and she *shockingly* kept these on throughout all our activities. Okay, to be fair, those activities were mostly talking, drinking, and watching the kids play with Easter eggs *but* nearly 3,000 other reviewers have written about their experiences with these frames too! Probably best to listen to them. 

Promising review: "We love these little sunglasses! They’re well-made, sturdy, and super cute. They fit my one-year-old perfectly, and she kept them well into the toddler years." —Steph Z.

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "The special edition is so pretty! I’m a huge Twilight fan, so when I saw those magic reveal edges I knew I had to have this. It’s honestly even better in person. Is it very Twilight aesthetic? Not really, but it’s so pretty I don’t even care. 🫣 I love the girly flower pop feel." —Jessica

Promising review: "So I am a ride or die for Eos Vanilla Cashmere. I can't tell you how many bottles of the lotion I've gone through just this year. I absolutely love [it]. When I heard about the perfume, I was SO excited. It's exactly like the lotion; it's perfect. It lasts quite a while. I spray it on me before I go to bed, and I can smell it when I wake up. Plus, you get a good amount for the cost, so it's worth it. This is another EOS item that will be on a subscription now, too. I am dying for shampoo and conditioner, so I hope that's in the works soon! Please Eos! I am a Vanilla Cashmere goddess! Hahaha! 💕"—Nikki

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in eight scents).

Promising review: "Well-made, comfortable, and worth it. This set is a total steal. The lace is soft and detailed, and the fit is super nice. The underwire gives just enough lift without being uncomfortable. If you’re on the fence, just get it — you won’t find better quality for this price." —Kassia

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–6XL and 23 style variations).

This is such a hit gift! From a mother who genuinely loves getting candles and bath salts, and blankets...this one is a slam dunk for Mother's Day. 

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. 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

Ban.do is a US-based small business that specializes in quirky accessories, home products, and stationery. 

Not big on water bottle accessories? Weird. But that's okay, the chain is adjustable and can be hung on anything small, from a reading lamp neck to a bag strap. 

Promising review: "This cute little charm is a must! I was trying to find a way to differentiate my Stanley — the perfect way to do it! It’s small enough to not draw too much attention and minimalistic for those who don’t want to go all out. Cute little accessory with easy clip to add or subtract from tumblers." —Lily

Get it from Amazon for $4.59+ (available in every letter). 

Promising review: "This is great for teaching different types of breathing to help calm down. The distraction of following the directions can take your mind off your anxiety pretty quickly. There are several types of breathing techniques to choose from. Kids love it because it lights up and changes color." —L. Demro

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

Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord (who convinced *me* to start eating Built Bars) has to say about them: "Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!"

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through multiple flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —SimpleStyleMe

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets).

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." —Hippie Artist

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes and four styles).

I bought these for my daughter waaay before she was old enough to care, because I wanted to play with them myself! They're solid, made of high-quality materials (not plastic), and owned by a small business. Now that my kiddo is older, these have become a staple in our diaper bag on days at the park. We'll spend ages looking for special pieces, seeing if they fit, testing out different configurations, and then have a blast with some imagination play (these little critters get up to a lot of mischief!). Whether you're totally into playing fantastical, made-up games with your kids or need clear directions to create a little whimsy, these have got your back. I recommend them to every parent I know (and now, even those I don't — hi from me!).

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in six color packs).

Promising review: "This is a new favorite in the office candy dish. Everyone was so excited to see these and commented on the nostalgia from these 'grandma candies' and how good they tasted. They said they are hard to find, and several people asked where I got them and what they are officially called. These were fresh (not sticky and stale), well packaged, and tasted exactly as they should. I’m definitely restocking when I run out." —Andrea Raney

This has 133 pieces and is made for ages 9 and up. The larger daisy measures over 7.5 inches, and the smaller daisy measures over 6.5 inches.

Promising review: "I just love these Lego Botanicals! I got these daisies to add to the sunflowers I already have. The directions are easy to follow and really fun to put together. It took me about an hour to finish the kit. We all know Legos are built to last, so I'm sure these flowers will too! The best part is they will never wilt or die so you can enjoy these all year long. The colors are bright, cheery, and the flowers go well with the other Lego Botanicals that I own. I will be adding more very soon, and I highly recommend." —Luv2shop

Promising review: "A really fun, WELL-MADE, LEGO botanical kit. I always use the lego builder app which makes the instructions clearer. Really enjoyed putting this together. A good size and great value for the money." —Amazon Customer

The feed tray slides out, making it easy to refill and clean, and there's a divider so you can use two different types of feed at once to attract different varieties of birds. 

Promising review: "This feeder sticks really well on the window. It even holds the plump squirrels that sneak into it. 😅 It was super easy to apply and adjust. Our cats absolutely love the close-up action they get since we purchased reflective adhesive and put it on the inside of our window. Now the birds have no idea they’re even there, and the cats are in disbelief that they get to sit that close to the birds. Overall, a great purchase, my family loves it!" —SRowe

Promising review: "I ADORE vampires, Halloween, and all things bat-related. I had to have this umbrella. The feel of this umbrella makes it worthwhile. The rubbery texture assures me it will keep me dry. That's not all. Hang the umbrella up, and it looks like a sleeping vampire! Too cute!" —Rae Rae

Promising review: "This is the cutest picnic basket! I have used it for various events. It's super cute, and the quality and storage are a plus." —Pamela Guerra

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "The little purple flower pods on my zombie plant eventually die off and turn into what I think are seeds! The idea of being able to gift a grown zombie plant is really cool! My family finds the plant very interesting and thinks it's fun to watch it play dead. It’s very unique (video above, right)!" —Lacee Regan

Promising review: "This is super adorable, soft, and gives off a calming glow. Perfect for kids’ rooms and makes a great gift!" —Stephanie Rivera

Bakell is a small business established in 2016 that specializes in eye-catching edible glitters. 

I'm such a sucker for weird/fun finds online. I impulse-bought this the very first time I saw it and, ugh, I adore it. It is such an unnecessarily silly thing *and yet* it really has made for some fun, spruced up, sips. It has no taste, lasts forever (you need very little per cup), and it'll certainly brighten up a boring drink.

Promising review: "The glitter was excellent and made the beer shimmer just as expected. Everyone loved it and stared at it with wonder and delight. The glitter does coat the glass, making subsequent beers glittery. I recommend jiggling the keg a bit, so the glitter doesn’t settle. This is a great product. I will definitely buy again." —Jennifer Konecky

Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in 26 colors). 

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

Get it from Amazon for $20.49 (also available in several non-sparkly flavors).

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 16 styles).

Promising review: "I can’t believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier’s Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It’s not oily but provides a lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." —e_whospends_money

Get it from Amazon for $12.78+ (available in five shades and a two-pack).

Promising review: "This is a great way to keep your beverage cold while on the go. These are durable and last a long time. The print and quality of the pictures are amazing and detailed. I got the size large, and it fits all travel-sized cups that you can get. There are so many patterns and color varieties for everyone in the household. The value for your money is worth it. I use mine all the time and have several different colors and prints. You can even get ones for each holiday if you like." —Jill J.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this blanket! It’s incredibly soft and comfortable — perfect for lounging around the house on chilly evenings. The flannel material is super cozy, and I love that it’s wearable, so I can just slip it on like a hoodie. The shark design is adorable, and it adds a fun touch to my downtime. It’s also the perfect size, offering just the right amount of warmth without being too bulky. Whether I’m curled up on the couch or reading in bed, this blanket has quickly become my go-to. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something fun, cozy, and unique!" —O.
