by Daysha Edewi BuzzFeed BuzzFeed Staff

As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

1. An irresistibly plush blanket because it's been a loooooong week and you deserve to veg out on the couch and snuggle up with this. It’s lightweight, but still cloud-level cozy — basically what you’d get if a marshmallow decided to become a blanket. So whether your Friday plans include marathoning Dancing With The Stars, “reading” —*cough, cough* scrolling on your phone, or pretending you’ll go out with your besties in five minutes, this ultra-soft throw is here to be your partner in downtime.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Psst —  If you've had a Barefoot Dreams blanket in your cart for a while, dump it for this bad boy that reviewers say feels just as comfy.

Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok, and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now, and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy

Get it from Amazon for$18.99+ (available in 11 styles and three sizes). 

2. And abaguette-shaped pillow so realistic looking, you might forget it's not edible. It's just as soft as the inside of a fresh baguette and comes in three sizes that make it great for cuddling up on the couch or using it for back support. It's perfect for anyone looking to take a loaf off after a long day. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this delicious bread morsel to cheer up a friend. It was perfect, she really 'kneaded' it. She uses it for cuddling and sleeping. This yummy bread-cake doesn’t feel 'crumby' at all; it’s soft. It was the yeast I could do. If your friend loves bread, and she’s going through a tough time, you 'butter' get this for them." —Nora Lee Majors

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+(available in three sizes). 

3. A mini inflatable tube guy for those rough days that even a stress ball can't fix. At 17 inches tall, he’s the perfect dose of ridiculous joy for your desk, bedside, or bookshelf. He's truly the gift that keeps on wiggling.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark

Get it from Amazon for $11.66. 

4. A beautifully-illustrated Rest and Reflect adult coloring book that showcases several unique, hand-drawn figures inspired by Black women embodying their confidence, their style, and their beauty — all on bleed-proof, single-sided pages. It's perfect if you're looking for more creative ways to unwind without screens.

www.amazon.com

And don't forget to grab some markers! Here's are some skin tone ones and general colors.

Coco Michelle Illustrations is a Black-and woman-owned business that creates coloring books that display the joy and beauty within the Black community.

Promising review: "I have been following Andrea’s work for a few years and have purchased all of her self published books. Coloring with Coco: Rest and Reflect is another beautiful addition. As a Black woman, I truly appreciate how her coloring books represent me, my family, and my friends. Each page is well thought out and meaningful. The quality of the paper is excellent with thick pages that make coloring a relaxing and enjoyable experience. This is a book I am proud to add to my collection and I highly recommend it." —Leslie Chapman

Get it from Amazon for $12.83.

5. An Apple Watch stand to bring anyone born in the '90s back to the simpler times of playing on their Gameboy and snacking on Dunkaroos. It's a fun and nostalgic way to remind yourself to charge your watch.

Amazon

Promising review: "Got this as a gift for my fiancé, and he was so stoked when he opened it. It’s such good quality for the price, and it fits the watch super well!! It really looks like the real thing!" —natuuhhhliee

Get it from Amazon for $15.49+ (available in four colors). And complete the vibe with a matching AirPod or AirPod Pro case.

6. A pack of The Office-themed Uno cards that has all the color-matching mayhem of traditional Uno, but with Dunder Mifflin flair — including a special rule that involves Kevin's famous chili (IYKYK).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This game is so fun! Traditional Uno, but with a few twists… You don’t want to be the last one to drop the chili beans, like Kevin did! The teens thought this version of Uno was hilarious, and it’s a favorite on family game nights. The cards are well designed and durable, just as the original Uno cards are. The deck of cards is the same size as the original, and the gameplay is typically fast. If you are a fan of card games and The Office, then this is a must-have version of Uno!" —Michelle T

Get it from Amazon for $9.50 (also available in five other TV show/movie options).

7. Vaseline Golden Hour Glow Body Gelto treat your skin to that sun-kissed, “just-got-back-from-vacation” glow. It's lightweight, ultra-hydrating, will melt into your skin and leave behind a soft, shimmering, silky finish. Plus, it has a diiiiiiivine scent mix of florals, vanilla, and cocoa that some say rivals the $36 Sol de Janeiro Glowmotions Oil. 

Amazon

You can check outVaseline's radiant body oils and lotions for more options! 

Promising review: "I love this stuff. It’s super moisturizing and smells so good. The scent is vanilla cocoa and mixes well with other vanilla scents. It doesn’t leave a sticky feeling, and I love that it leaves skin glowy and shimmery. BUY!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $8.19 (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $7.37). 

8. Runamok Sparkle Syrup because shimmery pancakes or waffles are the best way to reclaim a sucky week and put more magic into breakfast time. Not only does it *sparkle*, but reviewers say the flavor is SO good — with one reviewer even reporting that eating this syrup "was the day my taste buds were bedazzled and my breakfast standards skyrocketed beyond repair."

You can also mix this into cocktails for some sweetness and shine. 

Runamok is a small biz that makes premium maple syrups and maple-based cocktail mixers.

Promising review: "I didn't know a syrup could be fun, but this is. I put it on a spiral ham last Christmas and am doing the same this year. I add it before I cook it, and then pour more on and use it as a dipping sauce for dinner. It's whimsical and fun and adds a bit of whimsy to your meal. I haven't tried it on pancakes yet, but I will. The quality of the syrup is top-notch, it's delicious and not too sweet. It's worth the money and tastes delish. It's the perfect thickness, and I really enjoyed it." —Jennifer D

And from the moment you open the lid, you're immediately hit with a divine scent that makes you excited to end work early and take a bath. It also comes in a colorful, luxe box. I loved it!

Promising review: "I'm in love, everything I eat out of them is more enjoyable because they are so cute. Also well packaged, arrived perfectly, and it's nice, heavy, and well-glazed stoneware. The nicest light pink color. To be aware, they are as wide as you'd expect but fairly shallow." —All 

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $17.99. 

13. Nuts ‘N More's Chocolate Maple Pretzel Peanut Butter Spread  — theeeee most delectable and divine protein treat to level up your smoothies, protein balls, cookies, or afternoon fruit plate. It's got more protein, fiber, and omega-3s than regular nut butters but still tastes like a salty, sweet, crunchy dream.

www.amazon.com

Nuts 'N More is a small business that specializes in unique peanut and almond spreads.

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in nine other flavors). 

14. A limited edition Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment that tastes DIVINE and keeps your lips buttery soft for up to 24 hours. It’s rich with shea, cocoa, and avocado butters, but still feels lightweight on your lips — with many reviewers saying it's not sticky at all. And the cozy, toasted marshmallow flavor will make you want to pull it out mid-conversation just to brag about.

When paired with good coffee, it really is a no-brainer." —Amanda Dougherty

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord is all about these babies: "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
