I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

1. A delightful Lego botanical "happy plants" set if you've killed every single plant you have ever encountered. These guys don't need any watering and will just hang out on your desk or shelf to give you a much-needed positivity boost. This 217-piece set is great for kids or adults who don't have time to build those extra-large sets. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "As an avid Lego enthusiast, I've had the pleasure of building numerous sets over the years, but this one stands out as a masterpiece. From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed by the thoughtfully organized bags and clear instructions, making the build both enjoyable and manageable. I love plants, so the attention to detail in this set had my heart!" —Jami

Get it from Amazon for $18.39. 

2. Nyx's "Smushy" Matte Lip Balm — it's formulated with mochi rice powder for a creamy application that leaves your pout feeling pillowy soft. There are 12 fun shades and flavors that deliver color with natural-looking texture you'll feel comfortable flaunting all day long. No sticky residue here! And with flavors like cherry pie (!!!) — how could you resist? 

Amazon

Promising review: "I’ve been looking for something like this forever, and it’s finally here :). Matte like a stain, but moisturizing and just pretty. I hope they never stop making this!" —SS71 

Get it from Amazon for $8.48 (available in 12 shades).

3. Or an EOS Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment infused with not one, not two, but THREE hydrating butters for lips. It's oooh so soft and luscious, and will earn a permanent spot in your everyday bag. Also, how does one resist a flavor like ~marshmallow fluff~??! You might have to stop yourself from indulging in your childhood instinct to eat your lip gloss. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the marshmallow lip treatmentin 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 $5.86 (also available in Strawberry Acai and Brown Sugar Boba). 

4. A Bob Ross "Paint with Water" book, as if this PBS icon couldn't get anymore relaxing. You can take a brain break as you glide a brush full of water on the page to reveal a colorful master piece. There's no stress about making any "happy accidents" or having to clean up art supplies. Just turn on your favorite Joy of Painting episode and brush away. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

The book comes with 24 specially treated pages that come to life with water. It also has 12 traditional coloring pages that you can fill in with colored pencils or markers. 

Promising review: "Who doesn't love Bob Ross and the ease with which he would paint a spectacular landscape? This is a great way for a person like me, with no artistic ability, the opportunity to paint a beautiful picture. You will get 24 watercolor/painting pages and 12 color pages with your own pencils or markers. A paintbrush does come included with the book, so you can start painting as soon as you get it. It is very calming to dip the brush in water and, with a few strokes, create a watercolor scene." —Erinn

Pro-tip: You can also snap up aBob Ross mini paint-by-number kitand a Bob Ross paint-by-number coloring book if you want a more hands-on activity! 

Get it from Amazon for $10.84. 

5. A reversible quilted throw blanketfor your *yawn* boooring couch that is doing nothing to your living room ambiance. This adds a fun pop without requiring extra effort. You can even throw it on your bed to transform your dreary den with some instant, much-needed color.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow wow wow!!! 🤩 This blanket is so soft and the colors and image is so vibrant! The material is great. Lightweight but also snuggly weighted, I don’t know how to describe it. I almost bought the one from Anthropologie, but this is exactly like it way less price! I think I’ll be gifting a few of these because they are so nice!" —Amy

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 14 styles). 

6. A set of pastel glitter highlighters, if you refuse to let neon orange ruin your aesthetic notebook. With eight soft, pretty, sparkling colors, you might actually do your assigned reading just to use them. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are amazing!!! Beautiful colors and the sparkle/shimmer is more than I imagined it would be. Mr Pen did it again! If you don’t have these pens, you need to get them!! Great addition to my journaling supplies!" —FBJH12

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $5.99.

7. A shaved sheep plushie — you'll need it ripped out of your hands after you take his little "sweater" off for the hundredth time. You won't be able to help it, he's just so dang adorable and probably the closest you'll get to the satisfying shearing of fluffy, soft wool. 

www.amazon.com

If sheep are not your thing, check out this alpaca version. 

Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." —Aerebys Stare

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

8. A set of limited edition Band-Aids because the regular pack is just. so. *yawn* booooring. These floral patterns add a little fun to a not-so-fun ouchy, while still feeling comfortable and protecting any wounds.

Just stick the sheep's head in the roll and place it on top of the legs for your own little flock that is ready whenever you need a restock. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I love sheep, and I thought this was the cutest thing ever! It’s easy to attach the roll of toilet paper, and it even comes with a second pair of eyes if you lose one. If you cock his head a bit to the side, he’s even more adorable. I’ll be back to order more so I can share these cuties with my sister and daughter. I’m sure they’ll get a kick out of them like I do." —BlackHeartNY

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.99.

10. An adorableKate Spade lunch tote that'll have you walking into the break room like "yup, I know I look good." You might have to resist buying one for every day of the week.

Promising review: "Excellent small size cooler! Good size for transporting most lunch containers." —PCJ

Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in four styles). 

11. A pack of cowboy straw toppers to keep anything icky out of (*cowboy voice*) these here parts. These are also great for protecting your Stanley when it gets knocked over — no accidental spills in this rodeo. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with these. I bought these about a year ago and have been using them since. My Stanley cup goes everywhere with me, and these do a great job at sealing the straw. They’re the perfect size to fit well on the standard straw. They also get a lot of compliments!!! lol" —Poor quality stickers

Get a set of four from Amazon for$5.99.

12. A colorful Comfort Pro rocking camp chair that is giving rainbow sherbet realness and will keep you comfy all the way through sports games, camping trips, or just hours sitting back in your backyard with an ice-cold bev. It's super lightweight and easy to set up, with a drink holder, a carrying strap, and a pocket for your phone. One reviewer says, "If you’re tempted to buy a Yeti or Nemo camp chair, fuggetaboutit!!!" because you'll get all the extra perks without needing to drop $$$. 

www.amazon.com

Psst, the drink holder is big enough for larger water bottles like Stanley Cups! 

Promising review: "I have had this brand of chair since they came out because your girl loves to rock. A camping chair that rocks?! Yes please! Now this one is wider, easy to fold, comes with a comfortable strap to carry it by, and this color combination is all my dreams come true. I have gotten so many compliments already. Highly recommend these chairs, always. Also, my daughter poured water all over it, and it dried quickly." —Allyson S. 

Get it from Amazon for $75(also available in six styles and 14 other patterns). 

13. A TonyMoly banana hand lotion filled with potassium and vitamin A, just like the real thing — except this one makes your hands oh-so soft and is cute to throw in your bag. It also has the sweet scent of banana that'll have you craving a smoothie real bad. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I suffer from very sensitive and very dry skin, especially during winter. I can't use most products, though, because my skin is super picky and will react badly to them the majority of the time. At first, I was hesitant to try this milk because it also has a fragrance. However, I decided to give it a shot, and to my surprise, not once did my skin react badly. This milk makes my hands very smooth for hours. It's nongreasy and smells delicious. It smells like a real banana, not that fake chemical stuff. I usually don't like anything that's banana-scented either, so this should speak volumes." —i_am_me

Get it from Amazon for $10 (also available in a mango and strawberry versions). 

14. A light-up solar frog figurinethat'll sit right in your garden or on your porch like a parent waiting to ask, "Where have you been all night?"

15. A limited edition "Hawaiian Bliss" Epsom salt magnesium soak from Dr Teals for an evening of sweet papaya and hibiscus that will have you feeling like you were transported to an all-inclusive beach spa. You might need someone to wake you up from this dream of relaxation. Just light a candle, pour a glass, and let this soothe your muscles. You'll be counting down the days until you can experience this perfect bath again — though honestly, you could the very next day, as the bag has enough for three soaks. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I bought this product hoping for a fresh, divine scent, and wow, it completely blew me away! I’m usually not one to purchase scented products without smelling them first, but I took a leap of faith and it paid off. Hawaiian Bliss is everything I hoped for and more. The scent is absolutely heavenly; rejuvenating, relaxing, and somehow energizing at the same time. After using it, I felt calmer, refreshed, and even a little happier. I genuinely look forward to using it. I’m already planning to order more, not just for myself but to include in gift baskets for friends and family. If you’re on the fence, go for it. Highly recommend!" —K. Marie

Promising review: "I’ve been wanting a sturdy and cute beach bag that was not mesh and or a basic tote. This is it! It comes with a dry bag for phone. The handles are thick. The iridescent color looks so cool in the sun, and it’s the perfect size. I fit two towels, a sunscreen bag, two changes of clothes, a speaker, goggles, and snacks. With extra room too. I love the new silver black color, but this purple was on sale, so I went for it. Matches perfectly with my black swimsuit." —Daniela G 

Get it from Amazon for$80+ (available in seven styles).

I highly recommend this fruit bowl. I couldn't be more pleased with mine." —Opinion o'Jen
