I'm a seasoned Shopping Editor with more than 10 years of experience covering travel (my favorite), home decor, fashion, and pet products.

Who says you need a special occasion, a bad day, or an otherwise justifiable reason to buy yourself something nice? Sometimes, you simply want to shop, and that’s that. From tinted lip balms and seasonal slippers to fancy-smelling candles, cozy fall bedding, and viral skincare finds, these picks are just too good not to add to your cart. 

Some reviewers suggest sizing down if you don't want too much of an oversize fit! 

Promising review: "This is the second one I've bought. It is super warm and so cozy. Very much like the Barefoot Dreams material. It runs super oversize, so I suggest sizing down one or even two sizes. I'm keeping mine to wear with leggings for that big on top, cozy look, but I would size down if I bought another to wear with jeans/pants." —Tina B

Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: 

"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, the 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 I never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. In my opinion, this shade 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 a two-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in the pink honey and nude honey versions, and in a two-pack that mixes both!). 

Promising review: "These are super comfortable and true to size. The pumpkin image on them is adorable. I didn't have high expectations for these slippers, honestly, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I got them and found they are actually very high quality. The bottoms are a very lightweight, fully flexible rubber-type material." —Jackie Anne

Promising review: "Oh…my god….🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? Put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like I had fillers. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks <3" —Kichi

Promising review: "I LOOOOVE this coloring book! So many cute pages and perfect for spooky season. If you love Halloween and coloring cute images, then this is the book for you. Has a variety of pages, and all have the perfect thick lines we all love in coloring books! Add to your cart now!" —Sagrario

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice, strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in four sizes and a variety of scents).  

Check out a TikTok of the marshmallow lip treatment in action. 

Promising review: "My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it’s not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn’t overbearing and also doesn’t keep coating your mouth like the EOS stick balms (still great, but more wax)." —Breanah Shirazi

Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in Brown Sugar Boba and Strawberry Acai).

Promising review: "This Mrs. Meyer's Fall Leaves hand soap instantly transports me to a crisp autumn day — leaves crunching underfoot, a warm breeze through the trees, and the comforting scent of home. The fragrance is earthy yet inviting, like wrapping your hands in a cozy flannel blanket after raking leaves with the kids. It doesn’t just smell good — it feels good. The soap lathers beautifully, rinses clean, and leaves my hands soft without that dry, tight feeling. It’s not just soap — it’s a seasonal ritual. I’ll be buying this every autumn." —Duke of Westfall St. 

Get it from Amazon for $4.88 (available in two other scents and different sizes, including the iconic Acorn Spice scent, which comes in a three-pack!). 

This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. DO NOT put this in the water with you (obviously!) or place it somewhere precarious where it can fall into the water or get wet — but know that it'll be ok if it gets splashed. Your nighttime shower mood lighting will be just as cozy with this on your bathroom counter or shelf. Safety first!

Promising review: "I bought this kind of as a joke for our shower, but it's the best thing I've purchased so far in 2026! It's easy to use, love the dimmer, and it creates a nice ambiance." —Holla

Promising review: "Love this Warm Vanilla scent! Warming fragrance lingers even as it dissolves well in the bathtub. When I looked at the fragrance components, I was doubtful I would like it, but the combination does impart a warm vanilla scent." —Erma

Get it from Amazon for $5.87 (also available in two other scents).

Promising review: "10/10 recommend to everyone and their mom. The quality of the material is wonderful! My friend had it in cream and loved the way her bed looked, so I got one. My mom came over and fell in love with my setup and also got one. The material is thick enough that the bed looks smooth and uniform, but not too thick. My kids are also obsessed and say that I have the coziest room ever and want to snuggle on the bed all the time." —Raquel Brown

PS: Packaging has recently changed, so your bottle may look a little different than the one pictured above. 

Promising review: "Gorgeous scent! I love perfumes, and I’m super picky. I either love or return. This scent is gorgeous. Smells a bit sweet but not overly sweet, not super vanilla, just a hint of it with sophistication. Very soft and sultry. I applied moisturizer (thin, thin layer of Vaseline) and then sprayed perfume. It stayed on my skin for probably over eight hours. I checked my sweater the next day you could easily smell it on my sweater. Definitely worth the money." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in two sizes; also available in seven other scents). 

PS: Each bottle has enough for 50+ applications. 

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

Promising review: "I didn't know what to expect from this super adorable anxiety bookshelf, but it delivered! I shake it up when I feel anxiety, even frustration, and I sort all the little books back onto the shelves any way I want, and it is sooo satisfying! The bookshelf is super cute and well-built. It is sturdy and beautiful. The tiny books are detailed, and their covers are amazing. They aren't actual books, but they really look like they are. This is the most gratifying gift I have ever purchased for myself. Beyond satisfied!" —Elda M Ferguson

Promising review: "These Medicube pads have literally healed my skin. I started using them regularly and noticed such a big difference in how clear and smooth my face looks. They’re gentle but effective, and my skin feels healthier with each use. I love that they’re easy to use and don’t irritate my skin at all. Honestly, they’ve become one of my favorite skincare products, and I don’t think I could go without them now." —demian

Promising review: "When I first saw this, I immediately thought it was completely ridiculous. But it kept popping up in my periphery, and one day, after seeing it on YouTube, I bought it on impulse, along with a page-turner. And so glad I did! It is so easy to clip in your Kindle and twist/extend it into the perfect angle, and the bowl is a great spot to stash my page-turner, earbuds, etc. Paired with the page turner, it's a total game changer, you can get cozy under blankets and not even have to move your hands, which is significantly more comfortable for bedtime reading (and safer — who else has dropped a Kindle on their face??). I don't even feel embarrassed when my husband makes fun of it; it's that good :P If you love your Kindle, you will love this pillow!" —J Thornberg

Get it from Amazon for $33.91+ (available in four colors). 

Promising review: "I LOVE these! They’re so cute, the colors are vibrant, and they match the photo almost exactly. I love that you can switch out the scents or even use essential oils to add your own. Because of this, they should last a long time! Definitely worth the money." —Jenna Waller

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim

According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. Also, be sure to check out what the ASPCA says about essential oils around pets.

Promising review: "Finding products that last longer than a month or two is growing increasingly difficult. In the last year alone, I’ve probably wasted $50 to $80 on humidifiers that have crapped out within 6 months. Out of the plethora of humidifiers and aromatherapy diffusers I’ve purchased in the last year, this one has withstood the test of time and almost daily use with essential oils. I pop on the button, and its beautiful flame 🔥 starts right up. It is $10 well spent, and in fact, I’m buying my second one today. Don’t sleep on this easy-to-use product that creates ambient light and puts out a potent scent. Fantastic value!" —Doyan&Jessica Pierce

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight versions). 

Promising review: "These are so cute! Not cheap quality, easy to assemble, and a steal for the price! The remote for the lights controls both, so I only need to have one out. The tripod stand is adjustable, allowing it to be set at a smaller height. I got two because I have two dogs. You cannot top the cuteness factor!! Totally worth it!!" —Melissa Kramer 

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available as a regular non-dog ghost, but whatever).  

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this! We originally tried this during the fall, when we found that going out for coffee each day was too expensive! This Torani pumpkin pie sauce is delicious, and honestly, it tastes even better than Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks, plus you can enjoy the flavor year-round. It has a similar rich consistency to caramel, but definitely has that additional distinct spiced flavor. I like to add cinnamon powder to really amp up the spices. So tasty!" —David M Taylor

Promising review: "This is the perfect size and comes with so many letters, characters, and shapes, so you can change what it says whenever you want. Super easy to put together; worth every penny! I get so many compliments when people come over and see this." —Deni S.

BuzzFeeder Emma Lord is a fan! Here's what she has to say: 

"I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs with other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry."

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

Promising review: "If you want to give yourself a little glow without risking sun damage, self-tan streaks, or self-tan-related acne, this product is for you! It's extremely lightweight, and a little goes a long way. This product leaves you with a nice tinted glow and the perfect base for makeup or a fresh face!" —Claire

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and five shades).

Promising review: "I love this couch cup holder tray. I made a small, portable office in my bedroom. I often work from the bed so I can keep my feet raised to prevent my ankles from swelling. I put the couch cup holder tray on the bed next to me and kept the TV remote, my tablet, my drink, and other items in it for easy access. I moved all over to see if the tray would tip, but no tipping occurred. (Note: I have a firm memory foam mattress.) It is sturdy, easy to clean, and doesn’t tip over when you move around. Because of its size, you can use it anywhere…like on the couch or when you are outside sunbathing or working on the deck/porch. It is a good buy for the price!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.39+ (available in three sizes and five colors). 

Promising review: "This is the third one I’ve bought... I love them!! The medium fits a large Starbucks or Dutch Bros drink just fine. They keep drinks cold and keep the sweat off of everything. Very cute colors. I keep one in my car and one at home, and I use it for lots of different drinks." —brittney thomas

Peach Slices is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 

Promising review: "I use these once a week and they really help my huge nose pores look way smaller and cleaner. The first time, I still had some oil and gunk in my pores, but the second time, I had even less. By the third time I used them, the only oil was on the patch, and my nose has never looked better. My pores appear smaller and my nose is smoother." —Sarah Cavasos

Promising review: "All my life, I've used a rag for cleaning my face. I started having breakouts. I saw this on TikTok, so I decided to purchase it. Since I've been using these, I no longer have breakouts. The towel is soft to the skin and works very well since I have sensitive skin. I will most definitely purchase again." —India Freeman

Promising review: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel-dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa 

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

Here's what BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord (pictured above) has to say: 

"I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."

Promising review: "These headphones surprised me. I thought they were not going to be as great because of how cheap they are, but the bass is amazing! The noise cancellation is so good that I can’t hear anything. The volume is loud and the sound quality is a win, and just how I like it. Very snug and comfy, recommend! Thanks TikTok, lol :)." —Chevelle Revero

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five colors). 

Promising review: "Alright… let me give you the lowdown on what an amazing product this is. I’m not lying when I say it does EXACTLY what it says it’s supposed to do. I bought the tube eight months ago, and I use it daily. A pea-sized amount is perfect for my neck area. The tube lasts a long time. I still have some left and bought it again. It’s scentless and rubs in quickly and smoothly, leaving no greasy feeling behind whatsoever. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but figured I’d give it a try. I always hated my double chin. After eight months, I have the tightest, most beautiful neck. Dude, I have a new neck! I am delighted!! I think I paid like $12 for it at the time. Worth it!!! I will use this stuff every day for the rest of my life. Goldbond makes amazing products." —Gloria Betters

Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." —Meg B. 

Promising review: "Just got this today and I love it! I needed something that would keep my hair up, but not pull and not pull it out when I removed it, as well as something that was comfortable and safe to wear while driving. I haven’t driven with it in yet, BUT I am lying in my bed, on my iPad with my head in the pillow and am very comfortable. My new holy grail for putting my hair up. Could not be happier! My hair is long, and of moderate thickness, and it holds beautifully." —Kimberly A. 

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes and colors).

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for over a year now, and it’s been great! It’s super cute and does the job perfectly for espresso shots and milk frothing. It does feel a bit fragile, so I always hand-wash it instead of using the dishwasher — especially to protect the wooden handle from any wear. Still in great shape after regular use. Definitely a nice little accessory for any espresso setup!" —KP
