1. A set of 14-karat dainty gold bracelets because often times we reach for earrings or a necklace, but leave our wrists exposed without a hint of razzle or dazzle. This diamondless set will solve that problem! You can wear a singular bracelet or wear them all at the same time.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm giving this product 5 ⭐️s because of the quality and the packaging. They give you this little box to keep your bracelets in (yes, they all fit) like a little jewelry box. The only thing that I did not like was the extra chain on them (you know, to make it bigger or smaller). That's just me. However, it's perfect for someone with a bigger wrist. As you can see in my photos, I tucked the extra chain in the clip itself. The first 6 bracelets are how the product looks next to me, real bracelets." —LadyE

Price: $15.98 (also available in silver)

2. A tube of retinol night cream that really goes to work on your skin. Put some on at night and you might just wake up with smooth and radiant skin. These results totally bring the drama.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "For years, I spent a lot of money on high-end skincare until I asked myself why. I started using this product four weeks ago and it does a better job for a fraction of the cost. I'm 64 and have always taken care of my skin but began developing wrinkles in the jowl and forehead areas. They have noticeably improved and I'm loving it. I'm hooked!" —Laura

Price: $19.77

3. A mini Bluetooth projector just begging to upgrade family movie night. Now you can watch under the stars. Reviewers note that setup is easy and the picture quality is pretty crisp, too. It would also be great entertainment for your next camping trip.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "After having this projector for some time, I must say that I’m very glad we got this for our home! The projector is well-built, includes an HDMI cord for any devices you may have (ie, Roku, Xbox/PS, etc.), and a remote for the included Google TV functionality! While other projectors include casting and Bluetooth capabilities, the inclusion of Google TV’s interface makes this projector so much better! The ability to switch between Netflix/Hulu/Disney+ and gaming on my Xbox One X is fantastic! The sound from the built-in speakers works well enough for projecting at a moment’s notice in the backyard/church/etc. However, connecting to a soundbar via Bluetooth makes for a more cinematic experience. The picture quality is quite dynamic as well — darker settings are ideal for the best viewing experience. Overall, this projector is a fine addition to your home for any movie nights inside or outdoor pool parties/bonfires!" —Brandon Corral

Price: $59.47

4. A super absorbent Muddy Mat to keep those muddy paws outside. We have our own doormat to wipe our boots on when we come out from a rainy day so it's only fair that doggy has one for their paws, too. And don't worry, it's human friendly, so you can wipe your feet on it too. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These mats work great. I have one out on my covered patio, and I bought one more to put in front of my front door. I have two dogs, and so far, even when it rains, they don't track in any water or stuff from the yard — definitely would buy another one if I needed it. So far, they are easy to clean. All I do is go outside and shake it and all the stuff comes off it." —Deborah

Price: $19.95+ (available in 30 sizes and 20 colors)

5. A set of Affresh dishwasher cleaning tablets that'll clear out all the leftover residue from dishwasher tablets, limescale, and other mineral buildup.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This works extremely well. We haven't done any cleaning on our dishwasher in five years, and the sliding dish trays were tough to pull out or push in, there was detergent buildup all over the inside, and there was a milky film on all our cups. I bought Affresh, ran the dishwasher with two tablets while it was empty, and the difference was astounding. There was still some build-up and I figured it would require another cycle, so I popped another two tablets in, ran the machine a second time, and now it looks and sounds brand-new. No more film on the glasses, no more dirty dishes from clogged sprayers, no more odors, no more build-up around the door seals. I'm going to be buying Affresh from now on, and hopefully it will extend the life of my dishwasher." —Martoune

Price: $8.99 for six tablets

6. A pound of cereal marshmallows if you're the guilty party who would pick all the marshmallows out of the cereal box leaving none for anyone else. Your time has come.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Amazing! I put them in hot chocolate, Rice Krispies treats, other cereals, or just eat then by the handful. Impulse buy that totally worked out." —Maddison Helsel

Price: $12.99

7. A bottle of Bondi Sands self-tanning foam in case you can't wait for the sun's kiss and you're ready to pour a little color back into your body so you don't emerge onto the beach looking like a member of the Cullen family. This lightweight, aloe vera-enriched foam can be used all over the body. Rinse off an hour later (or a little longer for a darker bake) and you'll achieve your desired glowing hue. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Next best thing to a spray tan! My daughter has been using this product on and off for about a year, so I decided to give it a try. She has olive undertones and tans from the sun easily. I am fairer — I burn first then tan. We both use the 'Dark' version of this product. I tried it for the first time recently before a trip to Florida. I just wanted to have a LITTLE color and not look scary white in my bathing suit (I live up North and have no tan this time of year!) I was BLOWN AWAY! Not streaky, not orange, no horrible smell. I looked naturally tan and it faded without looking blotchy. I applied it after fully exfoliating and left it on overnight. AMAZING results! I’m so glad I found this product. HIGHLY recommend!" —Samantha Angelini

Price: $24 (available in three shades)

8. A digital touchscreen photo frame that can help keep families connected. It connects to a unique email account, so any images sent to the email will show up on the screen. Now everyone can be in the loop and updated on all the fun adventures everyone is having.

Very user friendly! Best of all, all the grandparents LOVE their frames!" —byFaithDesign

Price: $139.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors)

9. A two-tier, slide-out basket with sliding baskets to make it easy to grab the item you need instead of blindly rummaging through bottles of cleaning products. Btw, you've just ascended to level three organization. 

Amazon

Promising review: "These are great if you have limited bathroom storage. You can put several items in each drawer. They are easy to pull in/out and if you want to take the drawers out completely to remove the basket they aren’t stuck on a track, which I like. Great quality materials, sturdy, and easy to clean." —ee

Price: $16.99+ (available in seven colors)

10. A puzzle treat ball here to give them the best of both worlds: treats and fun. When you don't have the energy to take Fido outside for a little Frisbee action, this will burst their boredom bubble. It can hold up to 1 cup of food, so they'll be entertained long enough for you to have a rest and recharge.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've always been active all my life and I sweat profusely! It's summer here in Southwest Florida. I walked over 5 miles outside with temps close to 90 degrees and over 80% humidity. You get the picture. I just received these; this was my first time trying it out. I walked over 5 miles, and there was NOT one drop of sweat in my eyes. The wicking is the best ever! It never moved on my head (I was worried because I have a small head), it is extremely comfortable, and it is fashionable." —Michele in O’Fallon

Price: $13.99 for a set of 10 

12. A 3D printing pen that'll let you or your kiddos take their artistic creations from the page into the real world. Extra fun: Once they've created a collection of pieces, have the family over for their very own ~art gallery~ complete with juice beverages and mini snacks.

amazon.com

Promising review: "We got this pen for a friend’s birthday, and my kids wanted one themselves, so I gave in and got them one, and it’s been amazing! They’re having so much fun making the ideas given in the instruction book and their creations! My 8 and 10-year-olds could do it themselves, but my 6 and 4-year-olds needed a little help (and needed to be careful of the hot tip). You get used to the buttons fairly quickly, and we have had no issues with them. Ready for lots more fun with this 3D pen!" —Stephanie Tigges

Price: $34.99

Price: $25

17. Built's "Puff Protein Bars" so tasty you'll feel like you're eating candy for breakfast when actually you're eating something nutritious while getting 17 grams of protein in your system. These flavors are anything but boring. You'll be scarfing down tasty treats like salted caramel, brownie butter, cookie dough and more. Keep one in your bag, you'll never know when you'll need a little boost. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord (who also convinced Mallory Mower to start eating Built Bars) has to say about them: "Hello, I'm a walking cliché ofWoman 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!"

Price: $29.99+ (available in 12 flavors)

18. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder in case you also turn into a little oil ball when you leave the house. It quickly and effectively turns that oil into matte. Clearly something that works this good must be a gift from a fairy godmother. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight, and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" —Rina

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" —Renee

Price: $17.99

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Price: $17.02

25. A professional MUA–approved black makeup sponge ideal for making your foundation stretch further by gifting you with flawless application and effortless blending. People will think you have a personal makeup artist on payroll.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Aesthetica Cosmetics is a small biz based in Miami that makes vegan, cruelty-free makeup products and tools. 

Promising review: "I was super skeptical because I love the OG beauty sponge. I had tried other alternatives before and hated them. *This* one has that same soft, squishy texture as the OG. When you wet it, it expands and stays soft and bouncy like the OG. I’ll say that one difference I note that this one is sliiiightly softer when wet, but that does not bother me. I wash mine after each use and do find I need to squeeze it/wring it out a bit more. Really glad I tried this because at this price, it’s easy to justify buying more frequently and not risk germs/bacteria." —PC

Price: $7.95 for a pack of five

Promising review: "My 38-pound, 2-year-old corgi loved this dog puzzle toy! It was fun watching him try to solve this brain teaser puzzle, which he played with for about 15-20 minutes. I felt like he was actually being challenged, which provided mental stimulation." —Remy

Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small biz that specializes in products for the pubic zone(s) that treat ingrown hairs, dark spots, and razor burn.

Promising review: "I have literally tried everything to prevent razor burn for the past 10+ years, and nothing worked. I tried products, pre-shave routines, post-shave routines, every kind of razor and shaving cream combination you can think of, etc., and despite all of my efforts, money, and time, I still always had razor burn. That all changed last week when I tried Bushbalm for the first time. I cannot believe how well this stuff works. I never write reviews, like, this is literally the first one I've ever written, but seriously, if you struggle with bikini line irritation after shaving, buy this stuff for real. I'm so happy I finally found something that works and hope this review helps someone else avoid an expensive and painful 10-year battle to find a solution to their razor burn problems!" —Katie

Price: $26 (available in three other formulas)

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This is my second purchase of these underwear. They are so soft, provide full coverage, are no-show under pants or skirts, and last a looong time. I bought more because they have outlasted all my other pairs. The colors are really pretty and don't fade. I recommend." —It's_Cori

"Move over, Victoria's Secret! I wear them with my yoga pants and capris legging,s and was surprised how seamless they looked. They’re so thin that I didn’t think they’d stay in place, but they do and are super comfy. Highly recommend." —Nori

Amazon

I've been using this product for a couple of years now, and it tends to last me quite a long time. I also like to spray it along my hairline where I tend to be a little less vigilant about sunscreen application. It *does* smell like traditional, beachy sunscreen so if you hate that smell, I wouldn't rec. Oh, and it's vegan and reef-safe!

Price: $14.39
