Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Just don't use these packets if you're planning on roasting food.

Promising review: Mystical Fire Colorant is amazing. For a really fun experience, get some of these for your next camping trip. As if a campfire needs improvement... but this stuff is really neat. I'd say the adults love it even more than the kids. We only used one packet, and the colors were so good — it seems like they lasted at least 20 minutes. There was even color left in the ashes the next day. We will never go camping again without several packs of Mystical Fire on hand." —TeNe

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower says: "I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things.

I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great!" 

Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching for a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass; it seems like it’s some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" —Alysia 

Get it from Amazon for $13.99

Promising review: "I purchased the kit for me and my GF. This was my first time doing this kind of tattoo making, so I wasn't sure what to expect aside from having a lot of fun.

Rebecca O'Connell / BuzzFeed

My husband got me this light as a gift, and I can confirm it's very cute. If you firmly tap or squeeze it, you can toggle between three brightness settings. It's not bright enough to read by, but it works quite nicely as a night-light or for mood lighting. The legs are wiggly, which is definitely a selling point for me. 

Promising review: "This little lamp is BEYOND adorable. I got it as a gift for my niece, and she loved it. It's super cute, has a soft squishy texture, and has a little X for his butt. Maybe some won't like the little X, but it just adds extra cuteness. Worked right out of the box. Seemed pretty bright. Squish him, and the level changes. I can't speak to life expectancy, but it seems decent enough quality. Freaking adorable! Way better than expected." —KF

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three silly styles).

19. Aglass butterfly ring to create the illusion that you're a fairy princess who often has sparkly butterflies land on them.

Get it from Glaze Heart Studio on Etsy for $16.99+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently.

Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith 

Get it from Amazon for $5.97

22. A jar of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust seasoning if you want the best cereal flavor to extend past breakfast time. Just imagine how tasty this would be sprinkled over a hot beverage, ice cream, apple slices, or  buttered toast (Cinnamon Toast Crunch cinnamon toast!). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Amazon

Peter Pauper Pressis a family-owned small business founded in 1928.

Promising review: "I am absolutely in love. I have always struggled with being overwhelmed with to-do lists (both having them in my mind and making them). This cute, fun design makes that task less daunting and easier, thanks to how it’s organized. It lets me divide tasks up into immediate needs and tasks to do eventually, as well as gives me a space for appointments and reminders for calling people. I also thoroughly enjoy the mood marker and the 'how was your day' section, as it also helps me track my mood. I absolutely adore this, and it will be a positive permanent addition to my life." —River

Get it from Amazon for $5.95.

25. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil if you're sick of lippies that leave your pout feeling sticky, dry, or messy. The apple seed and raspberry extract-infused oil offers long-lasting hydration and a touch of color without you having to stress about it transferring or smudging.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually, I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger; it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in 12 shades, a jumbo size, and multipacks).

26. A birria bomb — a delicious spin on the bath bomb. Dunk one of these spice balls into a pressure cooker with meat and water for a comforting consomme ready for dipping. In a way, these really are bath bombs, but for tacos and quesadillas. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The birria bombs are made with arbol, ancho, and guajillo and make enough broth for 5–7 people. Reviewers say to use beef broth instead of water for a bigger punch of flavor. 

Promising review: "Cooking the birria was super simple: just meat, water, and bombs. Sooo tasty. Better than the ones from our local restaurants. I cooked it range top and did have to add additional water to ensure enough consomme, but so worth it." —Justin

Get two balls from Amazon for $19.99.

27. Asticker book filled with grouchy-looking cats. I would ask why they're so upset, but we all know cats never need a reason. You can have fun placing these directly in the sightline of anyone bugging you that day. >:(

Amazon

Each cat comes with a speech bubble and a mean one-liner. 

Promising review: "My brother is a cat lover, and the stickers are big and beautiful. This is his favorite Christmas present from me." —C. Wong

Get it from Amazon for$8.

28. Burn After Writing — a guided journal with questions and thought experiments that encourage readers to reflect, explore their feelings, and get to know themselves a little deeper. Reviewers say it's a stress reliever! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you, and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

Get it from Amazon for$7.70

29. A crochet bookmark shaped like a lil' veggie friend ready to encourage (or harshly judge) your reading journey. 

Amazon

Promising review: "So fun, the perfect bookmark for a mushroom/nature loving bookworm." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.96+ (available in five styles and multipacks).

30. A bar of quadruple-milled, shea butter-infused French soap to give yourself the gift of the most luxurious bathing experience ever. It comes with a ton of wonderful scents (lavender! lemon mojito! sea salt!), so you could also just drop it in your sock drawer (#grandmahack). 

Amazon

Pré de Provence is a small business that sells fancy toiletries made by French artisans.

Promising review: "I generally make my own soaps and body butters due to having extremely sensitive skin, but I have completely fallen in love with this line. The lather is luxuriously ample yet gentle. The scent fills the bathroom but does not linger heavily on the body. It leaves my skin clean and soft — not dry as most bar soaps do. I highly recommend the Rose and Mirabelle scents. These bars are quadruple-milled, so they do last a while." —NoIWontPutMyName

Get it from Amazon for $9.34+ (available in five sizes and 27 scents).

31. An 18k gold-plated cherry keychain because dropping almost $100 on the one from Coach is honestly kind of ridiculous. Reviewers say this one is almost identical! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "When I initially bought it, I was nervous that the brass color wasn’t going to match with my coach bag, but once it arrived, it was perfect; it looks almost like the real one and doesn’t feel cheap at all, I’m very happy with my purchase, and I'd 100% recommend this to someone looking for an alternative to the Coach cherry charm!" —Veronica G.

Get it from Amazon for $8.89.
