I am a contributor who has been writing for the BuzzFeed Shopping team since 2021, covering just about everything: home goods, beauty, fashion, gift guides, practical life hacks, tech, travel, personal wellness, and big sales events.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A Crock-Pot lunch warmer, because while everyone else is pulling out a boring sandwich or half-soggy salad, you'll be getting ready to feast on a delicious hot meal. How gourmet of you!

Macy's

Promising review: "This little Crock-Pot has been a great item for helping me to have a hot lunch when I work at my office." —Heather F.

Price: $59.99 (available in four colors)

2. A Hatch sunrise alarm clock that I personally cannot imagine life without now. It wakes you up gently with gradually brightening light and an optional alarm sound, like wind chimes or a meditative flute. Plus, you can set up a phone-free evening routine to help you unwind without scrolling.

Macy's

Price: $169.99 (available in three colors)

3. A sleek tank bodysuit since you'll absolutely love not having to re-tuck your shirt a bajillion times during the day. The fact that you'll *also* look super snatched and put-together is just the cherry on top. Plus, it pairs well with just about any bottoms and everything from a crisp linen button-up to a cozy cardigan sweater.

Macy's

Promising review: "Love it. Amazing." —Sarah

Price: $59.25 (originally $79; available in sizes XS–3XL and in black)

4. A contoured silk sleep mask from Slip if you want to drift into a beautiful, peaceful slumber like never before. It effortlessly blocks out unwanted light, but unlike most other sleep masks, the mulberry silk material keeps friction at a minimum, which means less tugging on your delicate facial skin. Quality sleep is worth the investment, my friends — you won't regret it!

Macy's

BTW, the brand also has scrunchies for your hair... just saying.

Price: $79 (available in nine colors)

5. Plus, a satin sheet set so you can crawl into a silky, luxurious cocoon for the night... and then wake up feeling like true royalty because the material helps prevent skin breakouts and minimize hair frizz and breakage.

Macy's

The set includes one flat top sheet, one fitted sheet, and four pillowcases!

Promising review: "Well made and attractive. Nice sheets." —NYC

Price:$41+ (available in sizes twin–split king and 12 colors)

6. A tube of Tarte's Tartelette tubing mascara, which will absolutely blow you away with how much volume it gives your lashes *and* how easy it is to remove. No scrubbing — it basically just rolls right off! Plus, it's wonderfully sweat- and smudge-proof. 

Macy's

Promising review: "This mascara makes thin lashes look full. It's easy to apply." —linda

Price: $15+ (available in two sizes and two colors)

7. A pair of Bose open earbuds so you can listen to your fave tunes and podcasts in remarkably high-def audio quality without being oblivious to what's happening around you (sonically, that is). You're gonna be very glad you opted for these over AirPods when you discover your ears aren't aching by the end of the day. 

Macy's

Price: $199+ (originally $299; available in four colors)

8. A sophisticated Calvin Klein RFID slimfold wallet to keep your life organized and your info protected. With three main pockets, nine card slots, and an ID window, never again shall you find yourself awkwardly fumbling around for the right card. Everything has its place now, and everything in its place.

Macy's

Promising review: "Wallet is good quality and has more than enough capacity for the cards I carry. The stitching adds a touch of elegance and style to the wallet." —Dee

Price: $27.25 (originally $54.50; available in black or brown)

9. Some slip-on Adidas Mary Jane sneakers since they're super comfortable but also unique. When you're sick of runners, typical flats, and your usual summer sandals, you'll be SO elated you added these interesting gems to the collection.

Macy's

Price: $70 (available in sizes 5.5–10)

10. An affordableLevoit air purifier designed to filter out allergens, dust, smoke particles, and other pollutants from the very air you're breathing. Plop this in your bedroom or home office and watch your sneezes, sinus congestion, and possibly even headaches start improving. 

Macy's

Price: $89.95

11. A ruffly plunge-neck bathing suit if you want to show up to the beach or pool looking like a celeb and with the confidence to match. Hmmm, let me think...yes and YES! Stylish and supportive swimwear is one purchase you'll never regret. 

Macy's

Promising review: "This bathing suit looks great! It’s true to size and comfortable while being very supportive." —Donnag

Price: $98 (available in sizes S–XXL and 13 colors and styles)

12. A to-do list desk pad because you'll love how much more productive your days become when you have a visual organizer to help you list out tasks, priorities, and other important reminders. 

Macy's

Price: $15.99

13. And, a set ofmetallic gel pens to add a bit of sparkly joy to boring work tasks, like filling out your daily planner and jotting down meeting notes. Trust me, on days where corporate life REALLY has you feeling down, you'll be so thankful to at least have a pretty, colorful writing utensil. 

Macy's

Price: $13.68 for a 10-pack

14. A Patchology Breakout Box that can take on just about any unwanted blemish. (Thank god!) It comes with 24 pimple-shrinking salicylic acid dots, 24 whitehead-absorbing hydrocolloid patches, and three blackhead-eliminating nose strips. Stressing over acne is about to become a thing of the past!

Macy's

Promising review: "Love these, a keeper in my staple; although the price continues to rise as the quantity remains the same." —Debra

Price: $20 

15. A Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ by DeLonghi since this highly aesthetic beauty is like having access to a barista right in your kitchen. All you have to do is pop in a pod and press a button, and within minutes, you'll be sipping on your coffee drink of choice, with five options from espresso to cold brew. It even has a built-in hot or cold milk frother! Just think how much time and money future-you is gonna save.

Macy's

It comes with a 12-capsule variety pack to get you started!

Promising review: "Worth every cent. Omg, major upgrade from the K machine. Love the free sampler pack this comes with. The pink is beautiful and fun. This machine is designed really well and makes amazing drinks. Bye-bye, drive-thru. Hello, delicious lattes at home." —Kelly

Price: $179

16. A Macy's exclusive Sutra Beauty ionic hair dryer brush so you can take your hair from a wet, wavy mess to a sleek, smooth blowout in just a few minutes. 

Macy's

Promising review: "I have only used it once so far and was very happy with the product and result. A versatile hair blowout brush tool that dries and styles, all the while providing shine and volume! And it didn’t take long to achieve the look I wanted. I look forward to using it more often." —MC

Price: $79

17. A three-pair set of hoop earrings for a fool-proof way to level up your outfits (and not break the bank)! You can choose the bold chunky hoops for an edgy-chic look, the micro crystal-studded ones for subtle elegance, or the cubic zirconia pair when you want serious glam. It's always nice to have options, isn't it? 😊

Macy's

Promising review: "Great quality. I loved the fit, it was well worth the purchase." —Pamela

18. A pair of tailored linen-blend Bermuda shorts giving ~sophisticated European.~ Heck, even just wearing these with a basic tee or tank will look pretty luxe — and IDK about you, but I love a summer-chic outfit that comes together in *seconds.*

Macy's

Promising review: "These are the best-tailored shorts I’ve ever bought. They are a little long for the short individual, but they are perfect for me. They have an elastic band at the back for comfort, but the front waistband is straight. They are definitely worth the money!" —Gloria

Price: $59.50 (available in sizes 0–16 and five colors and styles)

19. A Fitbit if you know you'll get immense satisfaction from tracking your daily steps and activity... and most definitely benefit from helpful movement reminders when you've been sitting too long. (Guilty!) In addition to recording workouts, this slim gadget can also monitor heart rate, ECG, SpO2, sleep, and stress. Healthier lifestyle, here you come!

Macy's

Promising review: "I had an older Fitbit model, and during the day, I couldn't see anything on the screen. Now, this new Fitbit has a vibrant and colorful screen. I love tracking my steps and seeing my fitness levels. I'm very pleased." —Yoly Menegazzo

Price:$119.95 (originally $159.95; available in two colors)

20. A Turkish cotton towel set because true relaxation is stepping out of the shower or bath and wrapping yourself up in an ultra-plush, supersoft towel. If you're not convinced, just read the review below that calls them "the best towels [they've] ever bought."

Macy's

The set comes with two bath towels, two hand towels, and two washcloths.

Promising review: "The Madison Park Signature Turkish Towels are the best towels I've ever bought. I just replaced my old set (same brand) that we had been using daily for seven years. These towels are longer than my old ones, and it's great to have that extra length. The material is very absorbent and soft. The first couple of washes, you will get a lot of lint in your dryer screen, so don't be alarmed." —Debbie

Price: $109 (available in 13 colors)

21. A Perricone MD under-eye cream formulated with three forms of vitamin C, ferulic acid, and peptides, aka a miracle-working concoction that helps plump, firm, and brighten the skin. Many reviewers call it "magic in a bottle," so do yourself a favor and get in on the magic now. ✨

Macy's

Price: $75

22. A leakproof Hydro Flask water bottle with a flip-up straw lid since absolutely nothing hits more than a sip of crisp, ice-cold water on a hot summer's day — and unlike other plastic and reusable bottles, this insulated Hydro Flask is the GOAT at keeping drinks refreshingly cold, even after being left in hot cars or outside in the sun.

Macy's

This wide-mouth water bottle has a 24-ounce capacity. You can browse other sizes and styles here.

Promising review: "Good quality. I like the capacity and the flip-up straw. Easy to take along with you." —Chris

Price: $39.99 (available in 10 colors)

23. A versatile fit-and-flare maxi dress from Pact because it's cute, comfy, and wonderfully breathable, thanks to the organic cotton material. You'll probably want to wear this all season long (and beyond), so good thing it's super easy to dress up or down!

Macy's

FYI, it features a built-in bra, so many reviewers don't wear a bra underneath.

Promising review: "I bought this for a wedding rehearsal dinner. I usually have issues in the bust area, a 40DD. This dress was so well made, it fit me perfectly, from the bust area to the underarm area, it is perfect. This dress is so well-tailored that I did not have to do a thing to it. The waistline is perfect. It is absolutely perfect. I will remember this brand the next time I am shopping for a dress. Bravo! Thank you for making such a well-made dress! It is lightweight but not too thin, so the breathability is great, and it has pockets. Thank you!" —Loyal

Price: $66(originally $88; available in sizes XS–XXL)

24. A Ninja blender, so the next time you have a sudden hankering for a smoothie, you'll be like, "Oh, wait, I can just quickly whip one up in my kitchen instead of dropping $15+ on almond milk and frozen fruit at the local acai spot." Better still, the blending container doubles as a to-go cup, complete with a lid and everything. 

Macy's

Promising reviews: "I'm not normally a review writer, but this blender deserves a review. I make smoothies every morning. Initially, I used a Magic Bullet, and it was OK at best, not powerful at all, and then I tried using my Ninja food processor, which worked better, but transferring to a cup would get messy. So I decided to purchase this little gem, and it is a game changer. Extremely powerful and quick. The only complaint I can possibly think of is that it can get a little loud, but, given the power it puts out, I think the noise is to be expected. If you are considering purchasing this blender, just do it, you will not be disappointed." —Excel

"I had a KitchenAid blender before, and while it was good, it was a larger footprint and more cleanup than this Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro 1100. I LOVE IT! It is so easy to use, convenient, and easy to clean up. I love that you get two blender cups with it, and you drink right out of the cup. Would highly recommend!" —Dr NMJ

Price: $79.97 (originally $109.99)

25. AnOars + Alps after sun cooling spray that'll provide instant relief to your scorched skin when you come inside and realize you weren't so diligent about reapplying your SPF — and boy howdy, will you be grateful for it! The aloe vera and niacinamide hydrate and reduce inflammation, while the kukui oil and alpine caribou moss help repair the skin with powerful antioxidants, like vitamins A, C, and E. Lots of reviewers confirm it really does work, and many like how it smells, too!

Macy's

Price: $13.99

26. A Lauren Ralph Lauren straw tote bag because it's plenty spacious to fit all your things for a day out at the park, by the ocean, or around town (or working at the office) *and* has a wonderfully beachy-chic aesthetic that's SO in this time of year.

Macy's

Price:$237 (originally $395)

27. A Laura Mercier setting powder to lock your makeup in place for a full 16 hours, giving you a lightweight matte finish with absolutely zero cakiness. Once you see how shine-free you look in all your photos, you'll def be thanking yourself for investing in this stuff!

Macy's

Promising review: "I was looking for a replacement powder since they stopped making my holy grail one. This powder is pretty incredible. It is finely milled, absorbs oil without overdrying your skin, and you get a pretty good amount of powder for the price. My new go-to powder from now on." —VaneG

Price: $25+ (available in two sizes and three shades)
