Amazon
Promising review: "The scent smells AMAZING and fills up the whole bathroom while I shower. It leaves my skin feeling really soft and moisturized afterward instead of dry or tight like some body washes do. This body wash is a thick, creamy gel and lathers easily, and the scent actually lasts on my skin for a long time after showering, which I love. I also have pretty sensitive skin and usually react to heavily scented products, but this one hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts for me personally. Overall, I think it's a great product if you want something moisturizing with a strong, cozy scent that actually lasts." —paige elissa

Promising review: "The smoky sea salt by Maldon is the best by far that I have found. I love the crunch and flavor. I put it on my steaks and on my vegetables and baked potatoes, and top my scrambled eggs with it. I suggest buying two boxes." —Kimberly Yarbrough

Promising review: "My lips get dry since I spend a lot of time hiking and outdoors, and this product works like a charm. It hydrates deeply, feels soothing, and lasts through the night. A little goes a long way, making it worth the price." —HB

Check out a TikTok of The Met x Band-Aid collab in action.
Promising review: "So totally awesome. 😬 I needed new Band-Aids — I’m always doing something ridiculous, and with these, so pretty. I have one cat that likes to let me know when she’s done with pets, and I have claw marks from her — not to mention my general clumsiness with gardening and cooking. Love them!!" —Mom the Handyman

Promising review: "Omg! It’s better than I thought. I am a Black woman that suffers from dry skin in the winter season, but this oil is amazing, smooth, light, and smells good. This oil is great for helping skin glow with a light glimmer of glitter. I would say this is a must-buy for women of color. Yeah thank me later, sis." —Amazon Customer

Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products.
Promising review: "I like a one-and-done nail product that will protect my fragile nails, but also stay put. I don’t baby my nails at all, so I like something that doesn’t show wear quickly. I’m not sure what’s in this one specifically, but it stays on so well. It’s also a nice micro shimmer/glitter. I’ve used a few other polishes from this brand, and while they are all nice, this is my favorite so far." —H. Peeples
Get it from Amazon for $20.
Promising review: "So adorable and fun — bought these for my kiddo to help with dishes, and he LOVES THEM! The rocket ship packaging is so cute, and kiddo plays with it like a toy as well! Great marketing for Toy Story 5!" —BrookeLynnReviews

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 feel 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 am not exaggerating when I say that I saw a difference in my neck lines within a few days. It works, but I wish it came in a tub. I have been dabbing a little under my eyes, and it seems like it’s working to reduce some of my age-related hollowing. I think I will try thestick version to target other areas." —Kira

Promising review: "The texture is thick! But it’s a good thick. These feel so smooth on the lips and are very glossy. Currently my favorite E.l.f. lip product, over the Glow Reviver Oil. Smell is not overwhelming and neither is taste. I came back to order them all." —Khloe3
Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three flavors).

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Check out a TikTok of the Disney x Touchland Power Mistin action.
Promising review: "The perfect accessory for my last Disney trip. Not only is it adorable and add a bit of that Mickey flair, it is reusable (so I can just pop in another one of my favorite Touchland hand sanitizers), the initial spray is delightful and fresh, and the little key ring allows me to attach it right to my park bag, providing a simple ease and access to spray our hands after each ride around the parks. Super cute and highly recommended!" —Shelby Piper

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

I *jumped* on this because I'm a huge fan ofClinique's Black Honey line — I'm wearing theMauve Mentality shadethat's meant to be an alternative to the $25 Nude Honey above! I love the consistency of this and the lightweight, buildable color. It's the perfect "keep this by the door/in a purse" lip tint that goes well with pretty much any outfit, since it's in that genre of "no makeup makeup." My only complaint is that you have to be careful not to twist it too high up, since the formula is kind of melty and makes it hard to twist back down. But otherwise this is an EXCELLENT everyday lippie to have in your arsenal!!
Promising review: "Love these. Sheer, pigmented, but buildable, and don't feel heavy or thick or sticky like Wet 'N Wild lip oils do. I love that it's available in a stick option." —catina m. claytor
Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in 11 shades).
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice, strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto
Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).
Promising review: "I'm normally a St. Ives girly but decided to give this a try and OMG!! If heaven had a scent it would be this. It leaves my skin feeling cotton soft and smelling amazing. Loving it!" —Latoya

Promising review: "These soft socks are like walking on clouds! I put them on and instantly felt the warm, cuddly comfort — they’re so soft, I never want to take them off. Perfect for chilly mornings or lounging around the house, they make me feel like I’m wrapped in a hug. The best part? They’re super cute and come in fun colors and patterns that add a little extra personality to my outfit. Whether I’m relaxing with a book, watching my favorite show, or just need some serious comfort, these socks are my new go-to. If you love feeling cozy and want to add a splash of fun to your sock drawer, these are a total must-have. Soft, stylish, and oh-so-snuggly!" —Shannon

Febu is a small business that specializes in earth-friendly, non-toxic home products.
Promising review: "I love these! I have used these for years instead of a sponge or a dishrag. They hold up great, mop up crumbs and spills quickly, can be popped in the dishwasher to clean, and bring a bit of color to the sink area in my otherwise neutral kitchen." —Wynnefred

Promising review: "Bought this because I was looking for a smaller version of the Chom Chom. Works the same lint-wise, but the motion is different and easier for me because the handle aligns differently. Best I can describe, the Chom Chom has to go forward and backward, like away from and toward my body. This one goes side to side. And the smaller size is helpful." —Dolljrsw

Promising review: "I absolutely love this corner lamp! It was very easy to assemble and fits perfectly into the corner without taking up much space. The design is sleek and modern, and it instantly elevated the look of my room. The lighting is bright but not harsh, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. I especially appreciate how evenly it illuminates the space — perfect for relaxing in the evening or adding ambiance without overhead lights. It feels sturdy and well-made, especially for the price. I’ve received several compliments on it already and would definitely purchase again." —Keeli

Promising review: "These are so stinkin' cute, and I really enjoy wearing them. Sometimes I'll do my makeup while wearing a couple of them during heavier breakout days. They work very well, and I like that they are a little larger than the classic stars. They stick fairly well. I find using them before applying any of my skincare is more effective." —Ciera Dawn

Promising review: "This thing is the real deal. My daughters love it! They needed a way to wake up more naturally on school days — this alarm can be set to begin brightening 10 minutes before their alarm, and it’s helped a lot! Plus, they adore the beautiful moon night-light with shooting stars — I do, too! This one seemed too good to be true when I ordered it, but it’s definitely lived up to the hype." —Emlefty11

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for over a year now and it’s been great! It’s super cute and does the job perfectly for espresso shots and milk frothing. It does feel a bit fragile, so I always hand-wash it instead of using the dishwasher — especially to protect the wooden handle from any wear. Still in great shape after regular use. Definitely a nice little accessory for any espresso setup!" —KP

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite scents out of the Sol de Janeiro line. It is not too sweet but has that subtle scent of coconut and vanilla. It's very fresh, and I get many compliments. It's great and versatile, just toss it in your purse or bag, the size is perfect. I think the price is right. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this item." —Zuska

Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of light. I love them. I would highly recommend. I’ll probably never sleep without them again." —AJ
I bought these at the last second for a flight when I lost my way more expensive sleep mask, and can safely say "good riddance" to that old pair — I love this version way more. It's perfectly contoured so it doesn't rub my eyes or mess up my makeup if I'm traveling, the weight is satisfying without being distracting, and it adjusts super quickly and easily without every getting caught in my hair. Also the pink is just absolutely precious, so my little Glinda x Barbie heart is most pleased to show if off.

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It’s beyond cute and really great quality. I’m always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don’t want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can’t get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" —Abbey Klem

This is incredibly easy to use and features various timer buttons that can be shut off at your discretion. I love to watch its realistic 'flame' effect. The scent emits wonderfully.
