1. A set of four compressed breakfast pastry sponges, or *slop-tarts*, if you will. I know you can't stand washing dishes, but they'll put a smile on your face every time you have to. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $11

2. A cutesy coloring book that'll have you slipping into a marker- and colored pencil-induced trance, where, before you know it, you'll realize that you've been coloring for four hours straight. The artwork is so darling, you won't be able to resist coloring just one more page. 

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "If you are trying to get into coloring, this book is perfect! Cute pages, pretty good quality, and it’s affordable. Would def recommend." —ilyanuh

Price: $9.99+ (available in seven styles)

3. A Love Islandversion of Never Have I Ever to play since our favorite Fiji drama is over for the summer. 😭 Grab this to distract you from the LI withdrawals if you have no idea what to do with yourself now. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $25

4. A Sol de Janeiro solid jelly perfume balm in the iconic Cheirosa '62 scent that'll be a dream to travel with, 'cause TSA won't be able to throw it out. It'll be easy to throw into your purse or pocket for quick touch-ups on the go, it's not sticky, and you can use it as a layering step to pair with your other fave SDJ products. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $26

5. A set of press-on nails that are so jaw-droppingly gorgeous, everyone will be convinced a professional did 'em for hundreds of dollars. You'll get the beautiful nails without having to sit in a salon for hours and pay the hefty price. 

Urban Outfitters

They come with nail glue and glue sticker tabs, so you can choose to apply them either way.

Promising review: "These nails are very adorable and comfortable to wear. They resist breakage and damage really well, and are able to last for several days. The tools and nail glue that are included made application easy. Each individual nail design is very detailed, intricate and high quality. I’m obsessed!" —Evew00

Price: $18+ (available in five designs)

6. A Touchland hand sanitizer mist you'll quickly realize is far superior to all other sanitizers. First of all, it's a spray (genius), it's hydrating, not sticky or greasy, and will leave your hands sanitized and smelling good as heck. You'll def want 'em all. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $12 (available in seven scents)

7. A starfish claw clip to add some ~under the sea~ vibes to your hair. Ariel would definitely wanna add this stunning thingamabob to her collection of human stuff. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $15 (available in two colors)

8. A dual brow pencil + brow gel because putting the two together is the most convenient, genius thing ever, and all eyebrow pencils should be created this way. Two products in one, and it's much less expensive than other popular name-brand ones that don't include a gel. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $15 (available in three shades)

9. A three-pack of frilly Adidas socks for your cutesy lil' pickleball 'fits. They'll certainly further confirm your ~best dressed on the court~ reputation. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $20

10. A Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '62 body lotion, unless, ya know, you don't want nourished, moisturized skin with a heavenly lingering scent this summer. Kiss dry skin goodbye and make room for this weightless hydrating baby. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $28

11. A Tipsy Land board game that's full of spaces with silly dares, confessions, and mini competitions to get you and all your friends, well, tipsy! It'll certainly be a party fave that you and your besties *must* play at every gathering. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $30

12. A ribbed knit tube top with a sweetheart neckline that'll become a basic you'll want in every single color they offer. It's cropped, ruched, and will pair *perfectly* with every pair of summery bottoms in your closet. 

Urban Outfitters

Reviewers recommend sizing up!

Promising review: "These are some of my favorite tube tops. I just had to buy a bunch of them! I'm 5'0 and they're definitely cropped, but not that cropped." —dina

Price: $19+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and four colors; not all sizes available in all colors)

13. A Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth perfume that'll certainly Mountain Dew it for ya. The only thing you'll struggle with is resisting the urge to buy all three scents. I know she said that "silent treatment and humbling your a*s" is some of her best work, but once you catch a whiff of these fragrances, you'll understand why she needs to add her perfumes to that list. 

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "Such a nice smelling perfume. Sweet, but not overly sweet, and it lingers for awhile! I love it, I need 30 bottles right NEOW." —mimikeooo

Price: $35 (available in three scents)

14. An E.l.f. lip balm that not only comes in the most stunning shades, but it'll slick your pout DOWN with some deliciously buttery moisture without the sticky feeling. And that shine?! To die for. 😍 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $9 (available in six shades)

15. An adorable patterned plate, which features a little tucked-in sleepy bear. It's dishwasher- and microwave-safe, and almost *too* cute to eat off of. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $25 (available in one other designs)

16. A beaded anklet that brings *major* Y2K vibes and will look extremely cute dangling on your foot this summer. It's easily adjustable, and you'll feel incomplete whenever you're not wearing it. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $15

17. A chili pepper emojibator that'll make your me-time even *spicier*. This hot little toy may be adorable, but it also has plenty of vibration patterns to bring the heat to the bedroom. 

Urban Outfitters

Price: $29 (available in a cherry Kegel version)

18. A mini Hydro Flask water bottle that is 7-ounces of irresistible cuteness. The double-wall insulation will keep your bevvy cold for up to seven hours, and it'll be perfect for a few itty bitty middle-of-the-night water sips, snacks, soup, or even wine at outdoor events. 

Urban Outfitters

There's also a ✨glimmer✨ version!

Promising review: "I have gotten so many compliments on this bottle at the gym, and I am planning on buying myself another one as an early birthday present! Great to carry on the go when I need to make a supermarket run! Holds plenty of water, always keeps it cold, and mine has barely gotten dented, considering how much use I've gotten out of it!" —thirstygal99

"Very comfortable to wear with a smooth nose bridge. They don’t slide down while wearing them or have those nose pads that get stuck in your hair! Tint is dark with UV protection. 👌🏽" —Leola

Price: $15 (available in eight colors)

21. A set of four rings to add to your collection of maximalist accessories. The vintage-inspired florals and classic gold add to the overall perfection of this eye-catching jewelry set. 

Urban Outfitters

The rings come in a mix of sizes 6 and 7 (😉)!

Price: $14.99 (originally $25)

22. A 90-pack of K-beauty Mediheal toner pads that's available in three styles that target different skin concerns. A collagen ampoule version to help with firming, a tea tree version to help calm and balance blemish-prone skin, and a madecassoside version that'll help with blemishes, dark spots, and uneven post-acne skin. Whichever one you decide to treat your skin to will be an absolute win. 

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "I’ve tried the blue (madecassoside) and green (tea tree). These are great for breakouts; they really lower inflammation and any swelling or redness from picking pimples." —shiroshua

23. A journal, so you have somewhere to jot down all your "recipes for disaster." It has 240 lined pages, a ribbon marker to keep your place, and the cover says "I don't cook, but I like to stir the pot" — sounds like a definite winner to me. 

Urban Outfitters

A tooth gem kit, which comes with tooth gems, an FDA-cleared cleansing gel, an FDA-cleared light-cure adhesive, a mini UV light, cotton rolls, a pencil picker, and microbrush applicators to help you bedazzle your smile. This itty bitty accessory will almost feel life-changing, cuz you'll want your smile to sparkle with rhinestones all the time. 

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "The gems are so cute and surprisingly long-lasting — they stayed on way longer than I expected. The kit is easy to use, the quality feels great, and the sparkle is so fun." —macthebunny

Price: $30 (available in two styles)

26. A cutesy decorative handheld mirror that looks like a fairytale emblem, like what Rapunzel would hold while brushing her hair. It'll also look completely stunning sitting on your vanity, so it's just as pretty as it is practical.
