Promising review: "It is so cute. Lego always impresses me with its quality of builds. I have the blue and yellow plant friends; it’s fun to have the matching pair of green and pink. It was a quick build. I like having it on my coffee table for guests or myself to fidget with, because they both rock — one goes side to side, and the other is front/back." —Julie

Promising review: "This lotion smells so good! It truly gives me confetti cake vibes with vanilla icing on top. I was hesitant to buy this lotion because I am usually an EOS girl, but I couldn't resist trying this confetti cake scent. I am very impressed with this lotion. It is moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy. The formula is thick and creamy, which makes application a breeze. Jergens needs to reconsider making this a permanent scent! It has made me want to try the other Jergens scents." —amber

Promising review: "Amazing! These puzzles are so fun. It’s nice that they start easy and get harder, so you can get used to the format first, then continue to be challenged as you learn how they work. Fun, visually appealing, and sprinkled with humor. I finished this one in about 1.5 months (of fairly dedicated work) and ordered Volume 2 before I was even done with the first one. It’s a higher price point than many puzzle books, but you get high quality for what you pay." —EN
The best part?? Once you finish this version of "Murdling," you can try a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books — PLUS a Murdle board game!
Get it from Amazon for $15.19 (and check outVolume 2 and Volume 3if you're in the mood for more murrrrderrr).

Promising review: "10/10!!!!!!! Definitely would make a great fall scent (but I personally don’t mind wearing it any day of the year). A little definitely goes a long way, as do most of the Al-Rehab oils, which is why they’re my favorite. Also for the price!? AMAZING!!!! The apple scent is 100% there! It’s a bit on the musky side and not extremely fruity, which I enjoy. I RECOMMEND!!!" —Ana

Promising review: "So so cute! Perfect as a night-light or decorative touch. It has two different light modes. It's small and easy to use. Bonus that it's dimmable in both modes. I was planning to give it as a gift, but it was too cute. I kept one and bought a second as a gift. Absolutely love. ❤️" —julie guleff

Promising review: "I absolutely love this butter stick squishy! The soft texture and slow-rising design make it incredibly satisfying to squeeze and play with. It’s perfect for relieving stress during busy workdays and keeps my hands occupied while I focus. The bright yellow color is cute and cheerful, and it has held up well with regular use. It also makes a great desk toy, party favor, or small gift for kids and adults alike. A fun, calming, and high-quality squishy that I highly recommend!" —Milagros Lopez

Promising review: "This smells amazing! I'm a huge vanilla fan and already love Tree Hut products, so this was a win-win for me. The scent is warm, sweet, and lasts long enough to enjoy without being overpowering. I use it every night in the shower and look forward to it. The bottle is easy to handle, and the product pours easily onto a loofah without making a mess. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. If you love vanilla-scented body products, I definitely recommend giving this one a try." —Dorothy H

For those new to the concept — instead of adding the color to these, you add the lines to create images within the colors. Sort of like a Rorschach test, but make it whimsical.
Check out a TikTok of the reverse coloring book in action.
Promising review: "Kendra Norton’s beautiful art books, Reverse Coloring books, have changed my world! My whole life, I thought I was not creative and therefore had zero artistic ability. Now, this has become my favorite form of artistic expression. I turn on music and/or an audiobook and allow myself to go for an adventure outside of my mind, beyond my mind, if you will. This has become my favorite way to process through difficult emotions and experiences I’m working through." —K. DeWitt

Promising review: "SUCH a great introduction to color by numbers! Lots of cozy, peaceful scenes to pick from, and the book size is great for carrying around with you. All you need is a small packet of Artistro black acrylic markers,and you're set! They don't bleed through either, thanks to the thick, one-sided paper. It's also super fun to slowly reveal the whole picture by coloring in only the areas with the 'O.' I can't wait to work through this one and invest in more of these books! Well worth the money if you want a relaxing new hobby!" —Sabrina

Promising review: "I LOVE the sound of this kalimba. I've been playing around with it for a little while, but like any other instrument, it will take time to play this without looking at my hands. For someone new to the kalimba, I'm so glad it came with all the accessories I will need." —Kathy

BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly tried the sugar-free Ring Pop flavor and says, "It truly does taste so much like my childhood candy aisle fave that it's a little spooky (in a good way)."
Promising review (for Firecracker Popsicle): "Liquid I.V. does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let’s talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn’t either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn’t stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" —Disney Diva

Psst — you can also get a body pillowcase on Amazon in tons of colors!
Promising review: "I recently purchased this memory foam body pillow, and it has completely transformed my sleep experience. From the very first night, I noticed a significant improvement in my comfort and overall sleep quality. The pillow’s memory foam material is incredibly supportive yet soft. It contours perfectly to my body, providing just the right amount of pressure relief to my neck, back, and hips. This has been especially helpful for me as a side sleeper, as it keeps my spine properly aligned throughout the night, reducing any stiffness or soreness in the morning. One of the standout features of this body pillow is its full-body length. It’s long enough to cradle my entire body, allowing me to comfortably hug it while resting. This provides excellent support whether I’m sleeping or just lounging in bed reading or watching TV. Overall, this memory foam body pillow is a fantastic investment for anyone seeking better sleep and added comfort." —sunny

Promising review: "I am not an artist, but this is fun! I keep it on my nightstand along with some sketch pencils and draw when winding down for the night. Yes, some of the prompts are a bit odd, but I just go with them. Sort of tests the imagination! My 10-year-old granddaughter loves it too." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Adorable heart shape. Takes a little longer to cook since it's so thick. It's adorable for making a soup or pasta dish for the kids on Valentine's Day, or to just show love to your partner. Good quality that you'd expect from Barilla. Everyone thought it was adorable and enjoyed it." —Amazon Customer

The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel.
Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross), and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

Promising review: "I bought one of these many years ago and love mine. I just bought this one for a friend as a gift. She loves it! This item is of great quality. Perfect size to do quick, creative work. This board helps a person come into the present. Let the world melt away while they use it. Before you know it, time has slipped by, and the calm has set in. It may be perfect at the office! Definitely would have people stopping by to chill for a minute! (Just a thought.) I would imagine this would be calming for kids, too! Get one for yourself.

*wheezes in truffle* Okay, I bought this on a whim because there's a sushi place down the street from me that makes truffle avocado sushi rolls, and I was like, I need these in my life, but I also need money to live. I decided to DIY it with a regular $4 avocado roll, and this seasoning and the umami bliss of it all basically exploded my brain. Since then, I've tried it on eggs, burritos, potatoes, chocolate mug cakes, and pretty much every sweet and savory thing I can think of. The best part is you really get an excellent bang for your buck — it's so flavorful that I've been using this for months now and have barely made a dent in the container!

Touchland is a small business that specializes in scent mists and hand sanitizers.
Check out a TikTok of the Peanuts x Touchland collab in action.
As the mother of a baby boy, I have made Snoopy my new religion, so I was THRILLED beyond belief at this collab. It smells just as beachy, luscious, and laid back as it says it does, and is the perfect casual scent to spray on the way out the door. I love how light and subtle it is compared to other scents, too — especially since I am snuggling that baby so much. I already love all of Touchland's body mists (the Peachy Lycheeand Golden Amberare outta this WORLD), but this is like a happy summer hazy daydream! Highly recommend!

The OP Games is a small business that specializes in games and puzzles.
I played this at a friend's apartment with a mix of people I did and didn't know, and we all had a BLAST. It was a fun opportunity for us to reference hyper-specific things when trying to lock down a specific shade (if memory serves, "zombie Barney" and "aggressive banana" were the ones that got thrown around) and to get to know each other's tastes and ways of looking at the world. The rules and scoring system are super easy to learn, too, so there wasn't a big hurdle in getting everyone on board. I highly recommend for some good, wholesome, often laugh-out-loud party fun!
